Friday:

Squat: 315 x 3 x 5
Bench: 180 x 2 x 4, 180 x 1 x 2
Power clean: 95 x 5 x 3

I tried to go up 5 pounds today for reps on bench and couldn't get the reps I planned. We'll see how it goes next time.

Technically this is week 9 of a cut: -12.4 lbs total. Ida and weekend beers have definitely slowed things down, but I'm happy with that pace. Hesitate to call it a "cut" because I'm barely in a deficit. Also working my way back up from deloading/Ida.

Squat: 315 x 3 x 5
OHP: 135 x 1 x 4, 135 x 2 x 3
Deadlift: 300 x 1 x 3 (no straps), 350 x 1 x 5 (with straps)

I'm trying to do all but my working deadlift set without straps to help train grip. However, I feel like grip is starting to become a limiting factor on deadlift even with straps. The fourth and fifth pull of my working set was about to fall out of my hand even with straps. I was thinking of getting Versa Gripps and using them for my heavier sets.

I'm doing the exact same thing, just don't note it when posting here. Using Rogue leather straps for now.

Haven't posted in a while. Two weddings in 3 weeks but still hit the gym during the week.

Today: DB Press 4x6 w/65s and bent over row not sure on total weight but it was heavy

Finished with pull-ups after accesory lifts. Found out the pull up station has rock climbing grips. Those are hard AF at the end of a workout would recommend.

I’d add some heavy farmers carries to the end of your workouts if grip is becoming a limiting factor. Did that for several months 2x/week and my grip improved immensely.

Btw I’m working out but am lazy on writing the posts this week. Did the normal Krypteia style workouts, this is week 2 of the 3rd phase. Hit 225 for 7 reps on bench for my amrap set and 175 was my 5x5 weight. Did the usual assistance/super set work.

Main Lift
-Deadlift 5x5-245
Superset
-Goblet squat 3x10-65
-Low back extensions 3x10-15
Superset
-Leg press 3x15-290
-Leg curls 3x15-125
Conditioning
-Farmer carry 3x10-245

Been a while since I posted. I started a new phase of training. Main objective of the main lift is to lift without a belt and work on bracing and executing good technique. I’m doing sets of 5. As the weight get heavier, I’ll gradually decrease the reps, but I like the 5 sets. The accessories are designed to promote hypertrophy and work on some weaknesses I believe I have. A little bit of power building, I guess. Conditioning is strongman style. Moving under load to continue to develop core strength and stability. I like the higher volume, and I think I’m responding well.

Last week of 5/3/1 Krypteia. Still deciding if I’m going to re-run phases 2 and 3 through the end of the year or try something else. Did this yesterday:

Bench- 3 warm up sets
Bench 5/3/1- 190# (75%)x5, 215# (85%)x3, 240# (95%)x5 (I got the 6th rep up but I think my spotter touched the bar so I’m saying no rep)

Odd set super sets - goblet squat 100#x10, face pulls 70# x20
Even set super sets- Double KB SLDL w/shrug 70#x12, DB Hammer Curls 50#x8
