Came in today and didn’t feel too great. Got a strong pr on deadlift. I managed to pull a callus off my left hand, so I couldn’t grip anything too heavy for db rows later.

I really, really hate doing arms. Going to change it because I really hated today

6/27/10
15 minutes of complexes
later
5 Big fucking hill sprints

I’m switching up my training, going back to 531. I need to focus on my conditioning for the fall and 531 allows me more days and flexibility for that.

6/28/10
Bench 5x140, 5x165, 6x185
Chins 10x5xBW
DB Bench 5x10x40
DB Row 3x10x45
BB Curls 3x10x65
Fatman chins 3x8xBW
Dips 3x8xBW

Everything but dips was supersetted with something else. I went light on everything and I think it was a great idea. Going lighter allowed me to get more total work done, get a lot more volume in and decrease my rest times. Really great session for 45 minutes.

Are you doing sports in the fall? Wondering what the conditioning is needed for. Maybe to just not feel like a fat shit lol, cause I’m starting to feel that way. Haven’t done sprints in forever :frowning:

I’m joining ROTC in the fall and am going to have to do PT at least twice a week. I’m in good enough shape now to get through it, but being a competitive dick like I am, I feel the urge to be the best I can. Also, it’d be nice to lose some fat.

6/29/10
1a. Squat5x225, 5x255, 6x290
1b. Sit-ups 4x15
2a. Squat 3x10x185
2b. DB Side Bends 3x10x30
DB Walking Lunges 10x30, 2x10x40

Went no belt on the squats and still felt easy. Left at least 4 in the tank. Lunges suck. I’m going to start going beltless, at least for this cycle of 531 and I’ve dropped my weights accordingly

6/30/10
10 Megahill sprints with minimal rest
5-10 minutes of laying on grass incoherently
5-10 minutes of walking to cool down

I think I figured out how to push myself past my conceived limits and it hurts. The last sprint turned into a jog, a walk, and finally a crawl. I’m going to start a bastardized 531 and see how that goes

7/1/10
1a. Deadlift 5x240, 5x275, 6x315
1b. Decline Sit-ups 4x15xBW
2a. Dead Hang Pull-ups 4x5xBW
2b. Military Press 5x85, 5x100, 6x115

AFAP
3a. DB Overhead Press 3x8x35
3b. DB Swing 3x8x45
3c. Burpee Pull-ups 3x8

I’m liking how today went, I see it working well in the future. I’m shamelessly going to start stealing the idea of inserts/extracts from Alpha. Going beltless for the cycle and probably future cycles

7/2/10
Ins.
15 45lbs Hang Clean, Push Press, Front Squat
10 75lbs “”
5 95lbs “”

1a. Squat 3x225, 3x260, 4x290
1b. Dead Hang Pullups 6,6,5,6
2a. DB Row 10x60, 10x65, 10x70
2b. Bench 3x150, 3x170, 4x190
3a. Incline DB Bench 3x10x40
3b. Walking DB Lunges 3x8x40

Ext.
15 25lbs DB Snatch, Burpee Pullup
10 “”
5 “”

Squats felt really weak, kept quite a few reps on both bench and squat. Guess that’s why I planned and started really low. Inserts/extracts are painful. I will definitely continue those and make them more devious.

7/3/10
4 mile jog

Just learned yesterday that there’s a meet on August 21 right near my school and I plan on competing. Going to change my training in preparation
