5-3-1 Cycle#2/Week#1 Bench
Posted: March 10, 2015 in Training JournalTags: 5-3-1, Bench, Big Iron Gym
265×10 is a new rep PR for me. Weighed in over 240. I need to get back on track with nutrition and losing fat (not losing weight)
Went to the Big Iron Gym tonight. Worked up to 335x1rx2s on bench and then did 280x5rx3s. I still need work on keeping everything grounded and tight.
Good squat workout after a weekend of driving.
5-3-1 Cycle#1/Week#4 Overhead Press
Posted: March 6, 2015 in Training JournalTags: 5-3-1, Overhead Press
Felt really strong in my core and shoulders today. I did 20 reps with 110 lbs.
Great DL session . 12 reps at 275. I also did 275×10 for 3 more sets.
My elbow was hurting more today. I just need to ice it down again.

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#3 Overhead Press
Posted: February 27, 2015 in Training JournalTags: 5-3-1, Overhead Press, PR
Set a new rep PR on OHP 175×10. I will most likely do some accessory exercises tonight. This was a welcome PR workout after yesterday’s bad DL session.
This morning I did Bent Over Rows 115x10rx5s, Shrugs 115x10rx5s, Straight Arm Lat Pulls owns 25x10rx5s, and Wide Grip Cable Rows 25x20rx5s.
DL session tonight didn’t go as well as I would have liked. I can’t seem to get my form down. I am going to read up on some different DL methods from Juggernaut, Starting Strongman, and Andy Bolton.
