Afternoon

Block 1 deadlift

Snatch Grip Deads - 7" Block - Reg Grip

I want to devote more time to unilateral work. I think a bunch of my niggles and such are due to imbalances which this stuff should flush out. Basically learning the movement all over again.

Grip change so starting from the bottom again.

Bench

December 29, 2016
Afternoon

Start of another 10 x 3 cycle. Reading up on some programming last night I've decided to toss in some additional rows during my bench warm-ups and pullaparts during the worksets. I'm also going to go back to some general Ashman style training for squats and deads and try to shore up some imbalances. Getting my front squat to at least 80% of my back squat will be one anyways.

1a Bench Press
WU to 255 x 10 x 3r - trying to be as explosive as possible.

1b DB Row 100e x 3 x 10r

Pullaparts x 5 x 30r

45' Incline DB Press 80e x 10, 10, 7 - too short of rest. Probably just weak though.

Afternoon

First week of ramping up with the 10 x 3 again. Reading some articles yesterday and decided to throw in some extra rows and pullaparts during my benching. I've also decided to go back to just some Ashman style general training for squatting and pulls with the variety hopefully letting me heal up and focus on weak points. One of which is I'd like to get my front squat to at least 80% of my back squat. Lots of work.

Medium bench day with some Acid Bath. Damn I wish these guys were still putting out albums. Shame.

Bench Press

Didn't get all 10 sets so I'll drop to 255 next week so that'll give me a 6 week ramp to get here and hopefully get another 10#. Hopefully.

Squat and Pull

Going to alternate a rep week and heavy week as I continue on my squats. Decided I may as well use my SSB for this as well to work my quads and back a bit and give my shoulder a break.

SSB - 15" block. Little below parallel.
WU to 315 x 6 x 5r

7" Block Pulls - really working on driving my hips.
WU to 485 x 3 x 4r

I'll do my assistance work tomorrow. Time for some shepherds pie!
