My worst lift. I just can’t seem to keep the weight from moving away from me. I need to try to keep my weight back on my heels I think. Any form help is appreciated. Will be posting video for 3/12/15 soon.
Maybe these new socks will help me hit higher lifts?!?!
Comet Strength Club
Posted: February 27, 2015 in Announcements, Training JournalTags: Bench, Comet Strength Club
I started a strength club at the school I work at. It will be a team focused on powerlifting, strongman, and bodybuilding. We will do meets. We will host a Lift-a-thon to raise money for the club and a charity. We will also do seminars discussing programming, nutrition, recovery, etc. Today we found our bench press maxes and everyone did very well. I did it too, but after OHP this morning I only got 315lbs. This will be a great adventure as a club advisor.
5-3-1 Cycle#1/Week#2 Bench Press
Posted: February 21, 2015 in AnnouncementsTags: 5-3-1, Bench Press
Hello All,
I am so sorry that I have been gone for such a long time, but such is life. Â I am going to try to get back into blogging every week. Â I will try to post videos of workouts when I can, my computer isn’t liking all the extra files from the videos so I am going to have to figure something else out. Â I am also starting a new workout template. Â I loved working on the Cube Method for Strongman. I received some tips on a different program from a guy who works out at the gym where I train. Â The program is Jim Wendler’s 5-3-1. Â It is a pretty popular powerlifting-friendly program. Â I am using an app I found on my phone to track my progress. Â I will be posting screen shots of my workouts from that app. I am still trying to train 2 times a day, 5 days a week. Â I split my time between the Heavy Hammer Gym and the Big Iron Gym. Â I will write a review on the Cube Method sometime in the next few weeks. Â I want it to be a detailed review so that if any of you want to try it you will know what to expect.
Also, Â I have decided that I am going to get my Personal Training License through the National Council on Strength and Fitness. I am going to start classes in May and I will have a year to complete the program. Â I have started studying up on my anatomy and nutrition. Â Man…it has been a while since I was in school…It is fun learning though and I have always had an extreme desire for knowledge on a variety of topics.
Anyway, I will be posting many things in the weeks to come so stay tuned! Â Thanks for hanging with me.
Sorry it has been a while. I haven’t been doing a good job keeping this blog updated. I have been working out, just not tracking it on here. Since I last posted I was scheduled to compete. This didn’t take place due to a death in the family. I have however started a new training program that I will discuss in more detail later as well as planned my next meet for April.
Tonight at Big Iron Gym I got to see some of the best lifters around. I trained a bit, but spent most of my time watching Red Dog squat 7 plates on each side and The Freakshow Shawn Frankl bench 6 on each side. Got good tips on form and learned alot. Next time I will be joining in with whatever I can throw at them. Wish me luck! 🙂
Hey,
Sorry it has been a while since I have posted. Â Life just gets too busy sometimes. Â I however haven’t missed a workout. Â I will post some videos later. Â Thanks for following me. Â If you ever have questions or comments on anything feel free to comment.
