Week 7 (Test Week)
OHP- starting weight: 176
My goal was to get to the 176 target and perform the 3 reps with better reps than the original set.

Act: Incline Plyo Push Ups
OHP 0 / 44 / 66 / 88 / 110 / 132 / 154 / 165 / 176 weight went up faster and smoother than before / 85 only for 2 good reps, started to grind on 3rd / 198 good single / 154

Band Superset:
Face Pulls + Band Pull Aparts - 15-25 reps ea
performed 3 times

I’m going to invest a bit more time with the 176 (3RM) for the next cycle. Improved on the 198 for a single, so I’m very pleased with today.

Tues 18/01/11

Front Squat- starting weight: 275
My goal was to get to the 275 (or above) target and perform the 3 reps with better reps than the original set.

Act: Jump Cleans
FS 0 / 88 / 132 / 198 / 220 / 242 / 264 - felt good / 286 - forgot about the 275, weight went up well
310 - slow double
310 back squat x 5 - don’t know why, just felt like it
242 FS

A. Reverse Hypers: 12, 12, 12
B. Hanging Leg Raises: 10, 10, 8

Small increase on the 3RM (+11) for the next cycle + I’m happy with the 310 double, so a good session.
(Might do eccentric-less later on)

Wed 19/01/11

Bench Press - starting weight: 264
My goal was to get to the 264 (or above) target and perform the 3 reps with better reps than the original set.

Act: Side to side plyo push ups
BP 0 / 88 / 132 / 165 / 198 / 220 / 242 / 264 / 275 - weight went up pretty smooth / 286 - felt ok
297 - good single
308 - good single
220 x 14 - don’t know why, just felt like it

A1. Band Face Pulls:15, 15, 10, 12, 12
A2. Band Pull Aparts:15, 15, 12, 12, 12

Small increase on the 3RM (+11) for the next cycle, I haven’t done a bench single in ages so I was happy with the session.

(Edited for double post)

Sounds like you’ve gotten some decent strength gains. Pretty good considering it’s a mass based program. I’m about to finish my 3rd week right now and I’m really liking it

Thanks man.
I’ll take any strength gains that I can get, especially with the front squat.

The 4th week is enjoyable, almost feels like a holiday.

Thurs 20/01/11

Conv. Deadlift - starting weight: 419
My goal was to get to the 419 (or above) target and perform the 3 reps with better reps than the original set.

Act: Broad Jumps
DL 132 / 198 / 242 / 286 / 308 / 352 / 374 / 396 / 419 - weight went up pretty smooth / 440 - first 2 were good, 3rd was slow
463 - good single
485 - good single
501 - decent single (PR)

A. Ghetto GHR (slow as possible): 5, 5, 5
B. Bent Knee Sled Pull: 3 x 20m trips 110, 165, 165

Because I didn’t get the 440, I will stick with the original MTW but with the added 5.5lb from phase 2(342) , I haven’t done a Deadlift single in awhile so I was very happy to break the 500lb mark.

Fri 21/01/11

Dec. Bench Press - starting weight: 275
My goal was to get to the 275 (or above) target and perform the 3 reps with better reps than the original set.

Act: Incline Plyo Push Ups
Dec. BP 0 / 132 / 165 / 198 / 220 / 242 / 253 / 264 / 275 - felt good / 286 - went well / 297 - started to slow / 308 - first 2 were ok, 3rd was slow
319 - good single
330 - good single
220 x 14 - don’t know why, felt like it

A1. Sled Front Raise
A2. Sled Rear Raise - 3 trips 30m light 33 + sled
B. Sled Chest Press - 1 trip 30m light 110 + sled

Small increase on the 3RM (+11) for the next cycle, happy with the 330 single. Very pleased with today’s session + the week.
