BW chins + 90…awesome dude, I want to be like you one day! Happy your back posting[/quote]
Thanks Matty! They are a bitch too! As soon as I get 8 across I go ujp 10 lbs.
I’m almost ready to scratch one of the legs off my goals. 500 DL is very close. I’m going to try for a single when I hit the deload week this month. I hope I get it. Last month I did 475 X 4 so I figure I should be able to get 500 for one.
Time to hit the prowler. Will post some vids later…
Thanks Led! I absolutely love that bar. In the beginning it was an eye opener because it took 80lbs off my squat but man oh man, there’s nothing like it once you get used to it!
1/21 - Usually prowler conditioning today but it was snowing so that was out. I was disappointed so I did the next best thing, full body workout using the core 5/3/1 lifts/weights for the week. I wanted to get 3’s of each weight but struggled on the 90% weights for deads & OHP’s. Was only able to get 1 of each.
No front squats today. Back killing me from the Saturday session. Lesson learned on that one. You cannot do an entire week of 5/3/1 in one session as a substitute for prowler work due to inclement weather!
1/24 Bench + Upper
Bench:
Warmup:
45 X 5
115 X 5

1/30 Deload week begins. Changing it up this month, going to do the following approach:
Monday (Squats + Bench) Standard warmups followed by singles at week 3 weights. Then 1 rep at TM for the month.
Will do the same thing on Friday for deads and presses.
Squat:
Warmup:
80 X 6 (SSB Empty Weight)
140 X 5
180 X 5
215 X 5
Work:
265 X 1
300 X 1
335 X 1
355 X 1 (Felt really strong at this weight. Definitely had more in the tank which is a good sign!
Bench:
Warmup:
45 X 8
115 X 5
145 X 5
170 X 5
Work:
215 X 1
240 X 1
270 X 1
285 X 1 (Tough rep, slow but I think I could have handled 5# more) Very close to being a 1RM. The good news is I’m getting ever closer to that 300# benchmark
I’m looking forward to Friday, my TM for the dead is 500# so I should hit my first goal this week! I’ll post a vid of the effort afterwards.
2/7 - Change of plans after reading Wendler’s 90 day challenge last week. Decided to hit the challenge after the deload week and the first day was last night. Going for BBB but doing the ratios for the 5X10’s at 60% month 1, 65% month 2 and 70% month 3.
Due to my change in plans, the 500# dead will be slightly delayed…
Started last night with deads and 5X10 squats:
Deadlifts:
Warmup:
135 X 5
205 X 5
255 X 5
305 X 3
