Week 4/Day 5

Flat bench 3x6: 235, 245, 255
Weighted Dips 3x8: +53, +62, +71

Didn’t do any bicep work today. Hit the noon class at GCF and we did 17.1 which is an assload of DB snatches and BBJOs.

Before I started this chest program 4 weeks ago, I was tapped out at 255x3 without doing prior heavish sets,

When I had this C6C7 nerve issue last year, I was at 265x6 so I’m not far off from it..

Split Jerk 3x5-135
OHP-3x5 120/140/160+(5)
Giant Sets
Axel Pin press 3x5-165
Shoulder Shrugs 3x10-225
Suite case carry
Log Clean and Press 3x5-105

I’m going to start including strongman lifts in my routines. My gym has a pretty solid group of lifters, and I want to compete with them next season. I’ll just be a novice, so this is really about gaining strength in general and becoming accustomed to the different implements.

Squat: 240x5; 270x3; 302.5x3
DL: 290 5x3
Step-back lunges: 95 3x8

I’m getting the Kabuki trap bar for Xmas so I can incorporate more strongman-esque things as well like farmer carries and yoke walks. I really want the Transformer, but I think practically I need to get the trap bar so I can add much more versatility to my garage.

Thinking ahead, would anyone be game for a Daily Strength Check-in group programming for next year? We’ve got a pretty consistent group of posters now and it could be fun.

That’s what I was thinking. That way we have plenty of time to argue about what program to run

This one.

Always push the envelope on the weights to maximize the gainz and take longer breaks if needed.

Week 5/Day 3

Flat 4x1: 265, 280, 295, 310 (linked)
Incline DB 3x8: 90, 90, 95
DB Tricep Ext 3x8: 100, 100, 100 (10 reps)
Cable Pushdowns 3x8: 90, 95, 100

5 weeks ago, my final lift on Wednesday was 260, but I did the singles after the 3 incline sets because someone was occupying the bench with the safety bars. I was around 275 at that time if I truly went in fresh. 310 today.

320 next week?
