DOMS kick my ass
Submitted by Emevas on Thursday, May 8, 2008 - 18:57

Emevas's picture

Squats of 335
3,2,2,1

Notes: Used the belt again, different experience.  Could focus more on blasting out of the hole.  Had terrible DOMS in my left hamstring, forced my stance to be shorter.  Result of improper deload and switch to front squats.  Made the most of it.

Pull-ups w/45lb plate
5,5,3

Notes: Form was starting too get crappy, so I cut the last set short.  Always another day.

Bench of 285
5,5,4

Notes: Weight was heavy from the lack of deload.  Might bump it up next time.

First time using the belt.
Submitted by Emevas on Monday, May 5, 2008 - 17:51

Emevas's picture

Front squats of 225
3x5

Notes: Lower than parallel, and good speed on set.  Used a belt on this exercise to keep my back from getting re-injured.  Don't mind the belt, might use it for singles, but don't want to become dependent on it.

Overhead press of 185
5,4,4

Notes: Wore the belt on this one as well.  Misgroved the weight on the last rep of the last set.

Did some accessory neck work.  Skipped out on my rows, just to avoid putting pressure on my back.  May use the cable station next time.

Potentially injured, not as young as I used to be
Submitted by Emevas on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 18:39

Emevas's picture

Squats of 345
2

Notes: I tried ignoring the pain that my back was in, but it presented itself on the second rep.  Been having a dull pain since my heavy dead day that became a sharp pain on the asecent of the squat.  This is my entering argument for taking high rep deadlifts out of my routine.  Day B will be front squats, with heavy shrugs as an assistance work.  Calling this a deload, and taking a little time off on my lower back.  Might just do upper body work next workout or two, and use the weight belt as necessary.

Pull-ups w/40lbs
3x5

my martial arts week
Submitted by Sevengraff on Monday, April 28, 2008 - 00:21

I've started keeping a Pen & Paper training log but i wanna post a quick thing because I'm bored.

I finally joined a boxing gym a few weeks ago. Pacific Ring Sports is the new place I goto when I want to sweat a lot. So far I've only taken the Boxing classes but they also do Muay Thai and MMA. I like it a lot and after a few months of regular classes I can take the sparring class. I can't wait!

This is my Martial Arts schedule for the week, hopefully my work schedule won't interfere at I can keep it like this:



Still need to re-tool this a little

SLDL of 425
5,5,1

Notes: Burned out.  Going to try for 5x3 instead of 3x5 on this one.  I can pull 3 clean reps before I start to struggle, and I feel like my risk of injury increases with the more fatigue I have. 

Overhead press of 185
5,5,3

Notes: Coulda grunted out those last two, but just wanted to take things a little easy on my lower back after the deadlifts

Bent over rows of 205
3x5

Notes: I need to change this, I still have problems with this movement.  Might switch to DB rows.
