Hey everybody,
Just came off of a string of PR’s, and currently finishing up a deload week. Ready to kick it up a notch again and log it all!
A few things about me:
I am 5’8", ~215-220 pounds (depending on the scale and the day, 223 as I write this).
Most of my training revolves around Oly lifts and their variations. The past few months have been push jerks, power cleans, and power snatches, following CT’s layering method. This past week has been just random machines at the gym, no real direction - just letting the body and mind rest while I pump out some Hammer Strength and Nautilus.
I lift 3 times a week, with the third day being GPP. I practice BJJ 4-6 times a week.
Current PR’s are:
Push Jerk - 265x1
Power Clean (from high blocks) - 265x1
Squat Clean (from low blocks) - 285x1
Power Snatch (from high blocks) - 205x1
Trap-bar Deadlift (high handles) - 500x1
Bench Press - 305x1
Sandbag Carry (Zercher position) - 155x40yards
Farmer Carry - 110x20yardsx4
Sled Push - 418x20yards

My next phase of training will revolve around the bench press and trap-bar deadlift twice a week. I rarely do accessory work, but I will probably throw in some Kroc rows and hypers, because I’ve had great success with them increasing my deadlift in the past. My goals are to hit 315 on the bench press and 550 on the TBDL.
I will be working up to heavy 1-3rm, cause that’s how I love to train. The first week will be an accumulation week, so will probably be a slightly higher rep range, but within the following weeks I’ll be hitting those heavy singles, doubles, and triples.
Day 3 will consist of more GPP. I will leave out Farmer Carries, as my elbow has been a bit buggy lately, but will do Sandbag Carries and Sled Pushing.
The fun will start on Monday, April 1st! Let’s get nasty!
