D4, B3 - Press

Noon
Well today marks the end of 6 weeks or 2 cycles of Jay Ashman's AAS programming. I like it. Fun. Gets the blood pumping and a good sweat going. I'll put in another 6 weeks at least. Maybe change the core overhead lift and go to deficit pulls for a cycle.
Seated BTN Press
45 x 3 x 10r
95 x 5
145 x 1
165 x 1
175 x 1
185 x 1
155 x 5
Low Cable Rows - Big V Handle
200 x 3 x 8r
Banded Push-ups
MM x 3 x 10r
Face Pulls
Mini x 3 x 20r
Seated OH Dicks Press
65 x 12, 12, 8
Side Bends
108 x 3 x 12r - I did a small tweak with these that made a big difference. If I'm working on say contracting the right oblique I hover the right foot off of the ground. I find it's focusing much more of the strain where it's supposed to be and it's much tougher.

A Nice Squatting Day
July 16, 2012
Today's workout felt great for a change. I think largely because it wasn't sweltering hot but it's still very humid. The hide on my back's finally toughening up again and I didn't destroy it with the new bar tonight which is also very nice. Tough concentrating on the squat when my back was a bloody mess.
Squats felt good and strong. I've got a lot more power if I go down past parallel as well. I think I get a lot more glute/hamstring activation down there. The pause squats also felt really good. Last week they were damn near killing me and tonight they were feeling great.
Gail joined me tonight for the Simply Horrible complex. She's pretty sore from it but I might see if she'd like to do it 2-3 times a week for this first bit to build up some general strength. I think she'll really like it :D
Noon

45 x 5, 5
135 x 3

Belt

405 x 1, 1, 1 - Felt nice and easy. I'm running out of time by here but I think the gains will come good without killing myself right now on these. My enthusiasm was definitely up to go get some more squatting before supper by how these felt.
1b) 2" Crusher
High Row - 55 x 5, 80 x 5, 105 x 3, 130 x 3

3) Simply Horrible Complex (Pushup/Situp/Lunges) - 5 Min.
BW x 18
