Tonight was ok. My elbows are a bit red from the Zerchers, but no biggie. I think next ME day, I'm going to head back to GMs and use Zerchers as an accessory on DE Squat day and alternate them with speed deads.

It was a good night for bench. I wanted to do rack presses but someone decided that they would do a shrug, ez curl, reverse curl circuit in the power rack. :frustrate So I decided to do JM Presses instead. It was still a good night, but I wanted to whack this kid with a plate so bad it wasn't funny. Thank you Lord for teaching me restraint.
 
So, after several days off I'm back to lifting again and still in the market for a new gym, but I think I found one on powerlifting watch that is about 20 minutes from my house, so I'm going to give them a call tomorrow. On to the lifting:

ME SQ/DL
Box Squats (High Box 17.5"; Too High, but all I had)
45x8
135x3
225x3
315x3
405x3
475x3
515x3 (PR)
Squats were good, but the box was really too high compared to my parallel stance to get a good comparison, but like I said, it was the only bench I had to work with.

GMs(Arched Back; Close Stance)
3x12@135#

Modified GHRs on a Hyper Bench
BWx12
BWx12

Standing Abs
90x12
130x12
160x2
130x12

Hip Adduction/Abduction Machine
2x20@70# (Each)

It was a good night. My box squats were really good (I felt as if I had another 30-50 pounds left in me, but I figured I'd leave some in the tank), but that bench was too damn high for my liking, but when in Rome...At any rate, the workout was good and I was in and out in ~55 minutes so I can't complain. Now I just have to catch my bench up to where my squat is and I'll be good. :D
 
I decided to give my shoulders a break and do something a little different today.
ME Bench
DB Bench Press (Palms Neutral)

Laterals (Palms Facing & Thumbs Facing)
2x15@10# (both)

Pull Aparts (1 second pause)
3x20 with mini band

It was a good night. The DBs were a bit awkward because it's been forever since I've used them in a bench workout (clearly I need to add them back in because I suck at 'em :D ). Everything else was good, well except for when my iPod died and I was forced to listen to that ****ty pop music they play at 24 Hour. But overall it was a good night, and I've found another thing to work on, so it's all good.

It was a good night tonight. The singles were good. 265 was a bit wobbily, but then again, this was after 10 other sets, but I still need to work on keeping the bar stable. Arch was good and form is getting better. Overall, I can't complain. I'm waiting to gear up until after the first of the year, so I can build up my base and still give me 6+ months to train with the gear before my meet.

I was fried after this, so I left. It was a good night. I'm going to look at a powerlifting gym near my house at some point this week. The woman I talked to described it as a laid back, powerlifting friendly gym with, and I quote, "More plates than you could ever lift in your entire life". :head:

Tonight was ok, I had planned on doing Declines, but someone was on the one decline bench. 295 was going up, but stalled out about halfway up. So I'm good off the chest (but could be a bit faster), but I need to work on my midpoint and higher. Overall, I can't complain. I think I could've gotten 265 on close grip, but I didn't want to push it. :D
 
7/21 DE Squat

Dynamic Squat
135x5
135x5
2x4@300# (60%) (On 0-90 Bench)
------------------ At this point I said to hell with the Bench and made my own squat box with 9 35# plates stacked on top of each other, which put me at abou t parallel or an inch below.
2x2@300# - Speed sucked on these, so I dropped the weight
2x4@275# (55%) - Speed was better and so was form

Arched Back, Close Stance GMs
225x6

Hip,Lower Back, and Hamstring Stretches with a foam roller.

It was a good night, form was better once I got a box that was the right size. Those Modified GHRs suck big time, but I gotta keep after them if I want to bring my hamstrings up. :squat:
 
7/23 DE Bench

Bench
135x6
135x3
4x3@165#
2x3@175# (Speed was as good as it was at 165.)
2x3@185# (Again, speed was identical to 165, I might bump up my DE day weight to 4 sets of 175 and 4 sets of 185, as long as my speed remains the same.)

It was a good night. My speed and technique is good. I need to work on incorporating more leg drive into my benching, but I know that will come with practice and time. So, overall, I can't complain because it appears as if everything is coming along nicely. :thumbsup:
 
New Gym! Woot!

I just found a new gym that I joined tonight. I found it listed at powerlifting watch and it was about 20 minutes. I now lift at Van's Gym in Baytown and tomorrow night is my last night at 24 Hour Fitness. It's a nice mom and pop set up. There's a couple racks(they're kinda narrow, but they work). I saw some DL platforms to do pulls off blocks. Saw they had a dry-erase board with meet totals for 6 lifters. I'm going to try to meet them and try to get in with them to train. Now, on to the training:

Got another PR, So I can't complain. I squat on a bench with a foam pad, so I sink in a bit when I squat down onto it. I did my single with 515 and I thought about it and said, "I think I've got one more rep in me." So I tossed on two more tens, cranked up the metal and went down and up with it and I didn't struggle until about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up, but I locked it out. So it was a good night overall. :thumbsup:

Got a PR tonight on floor presses. It stuck about halfway up, but I kept pressing and locked it out. I was pretty stoked because 275 damn near killed me last week. I tried the cambered bar, and while I like the increased ROM, it was just awkward. I might go back to regular close grips next week or most likely switch to JM Presses. I did tate presses because I didn't feel a whole lot of work in my tris. All in all it was a productive evening. Now all I need to do is get a vid of my ME Squat day and I'll be set.

It was a good night tonight at the gym. I did end up getting a video of my last set of box squats, but it was at a ****ty angle and all you can really see is me coming up and down with it from about shoulder up. 545 was good until about halfway up, I released my air too soon and damn near got pinned, but I pushed through it and got the PR. I've been slacking on my speed work and it shows. Time to get my ass in gear and get back to doing my DE days because on Squat and Bench, I seem to be stalling halfway up, which isn't acceptable. So I know what I need to work on.

Here's the vid of my lift, you can't really see much, but I figured I'd put it up anyway: [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb1KLL0pnEE"]YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.[/nomedia]

It was a good night, I got another PR and everything else seems to be going well. All of my bench presses seem to be sticking about halfway up, but then I work through the sticking point. I know I need to focus on top end and speed work, does anyone else have any input?

It felt good to pull again and I'm a bit stronger than I remember. Of course, this just means I can lockout 515, it's gonna take a bit more work to get to a point where I can pull it off the floor( I need to get faster :D ). Had a guy at the gym ask me if I was training for competition. I said I was, but my meet isn't until next june. He said I was pretty strong, I said thanks, but for guys my size (~260ish) it's not all that impressive...at least to me anyway because I know I have a long way to go to be competitive. :dl:

Ok night tonight. I was kinda tired, hence the reason I didn''t go for a PR (although, I wish I would have done one more rep with 275). Inclines took a while, so I was kinda in a hurry to get stuff done so I wouldn't be in there over an hour. All in all, a good night, but definitely could have done better. Oh well, on to next week.
 
Been following along. Great log bro. Thanks for posting it.

Thanks BP, I'm just trying to make steady progress. I've come a long way since May, but I still have a long way to go. I'm eyeing a meet or two next year, so I'm trying to get as strong as I can before I add equipment. I guess it seems to be working, but my bench definitely needs work. :D
 
i like your philososphy of getting strong b4 adding equipment, alot of people make the mistake of not doing so, or are just too damned lazy! good job UH

Thanks PH. I know that I still have a ways to go training-wise and I'd like to build up my ligament and tendon strength before I dive head-first into gear. Plus, for the equipment I want to buy, my technique needs some more refinement and I need to get stronger, so I can work the suits and not vice versa. That and I can't really afford to buy any equipment at the moment because money is kinda tight. :D

I'm training at Van's Gym in Baytown at the moment. I found it under the powerlifting friendly gym listing on powerliftingwatch.com.
 
9/4 - ME Squat

Well, I'm back again. I took a week off last week because I was having some back spasms that made working out nearly impossible. Well, the week off did me good and now I'm going right back into it. It was a good day today and it was nice to get back to the gym.

Good night I guess, I'm still stalling about half way on max attempts, which means I need more speed off the bottom. The two singles at the end went up pretty quick after I made a conscious effort to press fast. Overall, a good night...but I've got work to do.

Good night tonight. Getting the feel for the weight before I go for a PR next week. My goal is to box squat 600 or better before the end of the year before I add equipment. Although I might by a pair of cheap briefs to protect my hips on DE day here in the next few weeks.

So close to 300 I can taste it...pissed me off because I couldn't keep my form. :aargh: My triceps, speed, and form need a hell of a lot of work...Gotta get all those down before I even think about touching the KK DD that I'm thinking about getting. :hammer:
 
Damn bro ur logs looking good. Man u'll be hittin tha 300 in no time. I just wish my squat was as good as urs. Awesome squats man.

Thanks GP, I do hope to hit 300 soon. I guess I have a mechanical advantage in the squats though. I'm only 5'6", so I guess squatting came a bit easier to me moreso than the bench, it just felt more natural. The DL is in the middle, but needs work as well. I think I'll be doing speed deads on my DE day, and focusing on squats and GMs on ME day, with the occasional rack pull every 3-4 weeks. Things are moving along alright, just need to hammer my bench to get everything where it needs to be.

Day went alright for the most part. My speed on the deads were better with the conventional stance moreso than the sumo stance. I'm not sure what the best stance for me is because I have a longer torso for my size (5'6"). Good day, but I still need more work. :D

Good night tonight, got a 20# PR on the Box Squats (and yes I have video ;)). After the GMs my lower back was fried, so I did my abs and headed out. One step closer to my goal of box squatting 600 before the end of the year, and a lot closer to 600 than I thought I was. And I'm out.:yawn:

Okay night tonight. I hit my 3 lifts above 90%, but I think I went to the well one too many times with Close Grip Bench. Oh well, live and learn, I'll most likely switch to either floor presses, 3 board presses, or a variation thereof next week. I thought about doing Reverse Band Benches, but all I have are minis, so I'm not sure how that would work out.

Seems as if I'm all squat and no bench. :rant: Definitely gotta fix that.

Good workout today. Energy and recovery was good. I felt like I still had some in the tank when I left. It was my first time using bands on my DE bench day, and I really like them. I didn't have a definite weight to go with on bench, so I went by feel.

Good day overall. The bands on JM presses were a spur of the moment kind of thing and I think it turned out ok. Although, I almost got pinned on the last rep, but I locked it out. Energy was good and everything seems to be coming along nicely.

nice squatting... front raises are strong too... Front raises right? Not Upright Rows? As in you're hitting your anterior delts?
