Saturday - Upper Speed Day
Incline Bench
1x20xbar
2x10x135
1x6x185
7x3x185+mini's
Rotator Therapy
5 mins
JM Presses
1x10x225
1x6x225 had to stop because my shoulder was popping a bit
Pushdowns on pulldown tower
2x10x120
Pulldowns
2x10x250
Flyes
1x15xstack
The inclines were faster than I have ever done before and felt incredibly solid. Not sure what was happening with my shoulder but I have noticed it in the past. When I go from pushpress or inclines to flatbench my shoulders feel weak and pop. It was a good session though. Nice and quick with nothing too heavy. I'll be ready for some good pressing on Wednesday.

Thursday - Speed Lower
11" Box Squats

Nothing great about the last few days. Working a lot. Highlights: -635 DL from 4"-5" off the ground. Had to stop for intestinal issues (damn PF Changs). -275x5 OHP. Not a PR but havent done it in a while. -185x4 Behind the neck, standing, close grip OHP It was an off week for many reasons but I will get a fresh start this week (hopefully). |

Since the week was crap anyway, I took yesterday to do some cardio. Eliptical 15mins@140-155HR Treadmill 5mins of jogging and got off cause my knees were killing me Stair Mill 10mins@53 stairs/min and HR@170+  It was nice to kick back and do some cardio. That stair mill kicked my ass though! |

Monday - ME LowerSquats1x10x135 1x10x225 1x5x315 1x3x405 2x4x500 Recent PR (added belt on second set  ) GM's off pins set to parallel or slightly higher 1x5x315 1x2x405 ended it there Standing Crunches on pulldown tower 1x10x130 1x10x180 2x8x220 1x0x250<<<Got a little too excited Good night! All but 2 of my squat reps were below parallel so I feel pretty good about that. Made it farther without the belt than I thought I would. PR in the squat since a long time back! I havent maxed a squat movement in a couple weeks so I think that really helped. The potassium supplement is still working wonders for me. Its hard to believe the difference it makes but WOW.

Wednesday - Max Upper***I dont know whats going on but my flexibility is less and less every week with my upper body?! I could barely hold the 120's in place on seated DB presses. I only got two reps with proper form (all the way to the shoulder and to full lockout) but as soon as I turned it into an incline press they flew up! Seated DB Press2x10x60's very slow and controlled 1x8x75's 1x8x90's 1x6x105's 1x2x120's I had a real hard time holding anything above 100lbs at shoulder height Pulldowns2x10x250 wide grip 2x8x250 sup grip Pushdowns on pulldown tower 1x10x150 1x4x180 had to drop the weight back 1x8x160 Everytime my bench goes up my flexibility and weights for overhead press drop drastically. I feel like Im always switching off and sacrificing one for the other. Maybe I will just stick with bench as my main upper body exercise for a while since I have no comps anytime soon? Anyone got any ideas as to how I can make both go up?

Thursday - Speed Lower
Box Squats from bench height
1x10x135
1x10x225
1x5x315
8x2x315 plus greens
One Legged Press on 45 degree press
1x10x300 couldnt do this long because my knee felt like it was going out
Pull Throughs
3x10xgreen band
SLDL's
1x6x135 plus one green

I was so freaking sore I barely got through the box squats but then I loosened up. My knee was a problem today. Cold weather sucks. Just glad to have made it through and to have found at least one good way to band my DL's at the gym.

Yeah. Mine was already hurting but I thought it would be a nice stretch. Felt great in the hips but my knee was screamin.  |

No sled here anymore (sold it). I still have my truck prowler though. That shit is brutal! As soon as I get done with this laboring gig I am all over it but to labor all day, lift heavy, and do drags and such, I cant recover. I try to make the most out of my work though. Im still progressing slow and steady at the moment so I feel okay about it. |

Saturday - Speed Upper (actually done Sunday morning rather than Saturday night)
Kept it quick since I was a day late.
Strict OHP with varying grips
2x10x135
7x3x135 plus reds (stretched from floor to lockout ~80lbs)
Side Delt Machine
2x8x205
Cambered Bar Overhead Extensions
3x12x115
1x5x165<<<Just to see the difference again. Not too much really. My elbows came a little closer (1/2"?) but my arms hit the same ROM.
Kept is simple. Not impressed with the cambered bar versus the straight bar.
