The USPF Nationals was a very well run meet, lots of fun and tons of great lifting. My performance was crap in the squat, ok in the bench, and very satisfying in the deadlift. My squat stuttered and I only got my first attempt (551), and I was lucky to get that. Bench went a little better, I tied my meet PR of 369, gave 380 a ride and stalled just off my chest. Deadlift, that was better, I pulled a 634.8. My raw total was 1554, so that ended up as a small PR too. So, it could have been worse, but it could have been a lot better!!

Today I started project intensity. I was a bit apprehensive and sore coming off the meet, but I thought why not, and dove in. My "100%" were well off what I did this weekend, but I am happy with them.

The squat I was supposed to do 4 sets of 2 as a down set, but only did two when the second set felt like a 10 (is that acceptable Mike?). For the deadlift, I was fried and out of time, so I was unable to do any down set work. I only have one more Monday of work, so time should not be an issue in the coming months.

I feel a bit tired and sore, but good other than that. I feel like I got a great stimulus from training this morning.

Very tired going into the gym this morning, but that is because I stayed up too late. Sometimes its just hard to put a good book down.

I have been advised that to help my squat I should do wall squats. So today, I did 20 as a warm up (and fell on my butt only once!!). I think they helped as the squats today went very well.

Other than the wall squats, I also did 3x10 lying external rotation with a 7 lb dumbbell, some close grip pull-downs (10x 150, 10x160, 10x 170), and a total of 60 reps on an ab bench that we have in the gym.

It was a good work out for being so tired and sore from yesterday. The only complaint I have is that my biceps are still very sore. My bad rabbit of a very slow decent on the bench reared its ugly head and my biceps are still screaming. Its very weird, I did not do the slow negative in the meet, but today it was back and it was ugly.

Thanks Lance, need to get my squat moving again.

Squats were still a bit crappy today. At 545 I went forward and thought I was going to get stuck but was able to keep it moving.

In general I felt good today, but half way through I got real hungry and ran out of gas. Squats just drained me.

Bench and deads felt fine, but it was hard to get over the sore biceps again from squatting.

Brian,


Get some deep tissue work done on your bicep. It has helped me a lot.

I wish Boris was closer.

I was thinking of putting my hands out wider on squats. I did that about a year ago and it helped. Not sure why its a problem again.

You have a wide grip, right? And still get the bar tight on your back (obviously).

Boris is the best, maybe if you were able to plan a trip down to Chicago with the family one weekend and I can have him at the gym. If not I would ask around and see if anyone can recommend a good therapist in your area. Its worth a shot.

I do go all the way out. I just squeeze my rear delts and middle part of my back together and dig into the bar and it will sit right there. Honestly if you look at any of my squat vids Im not even holding on to the bar.

Felt good going into the gym, but squats really fell apart (again). 515 was a bear because I fell forward and almost got stuck. Ended up hurting my lower back.

Bench was good, and I ran out of time on deadlifts, plus my back was really acting up. I will have to see where its at in the morning.

My squat has fallen apart since December. I hurt myself (pulled hamstring) doing box squats and after some time off I did two cycles of 5/3/1 to get back into it, and from then on things have been off. I just seem to keep leaning forward and not able to sit back.

The back was good today.

Much better training session today. I slept in until 7 and went to the gym at 8 (instead of 5). That may have something to do with it.

Bench was a big surprise to me today. I felt good, the bar decent was fast, and it just flew up. Squats went well, but I started to run out of gas. I do feel that form was a bit better, but that may be because the weight is lower. My back was fine until the last down set, then I could feel it. I think its just a strain, so no worries.

I am just going to adjust my numbers, man up, and keep moving forward.

Squats went better again today. I was planning on going only to 515 but it was so fast I had to go to 530. 530 was a bit high, but I felt my form was better.

Bench continues to do well. The new twist is that I have not been taking lift offs. It seems to help me stay tighter. The 355 @10 was a light 10 (if that makes sense), so next week time to go up.

Deadlifts were ok, but I was out of gas and had a hard time focusing. Not horrible, but not stellar.

Did some kettlebell side bends too. Not sure if it was a smart move to do those after squatting and deadlifting, man my sides are sore!!

Congrats on the PR's Brian! I may be adding snatch grip deads to my training. How often will you be incorporating them into your training? And will you do regular grip deads the same day? thanks!

Thanks Lance. I thing the Snatch Grips's will be every other week. And no, I will not pull on the same day. But, I am pulling twice a week other than that lift, so three deadlift movements in one week. Tough, but starting to feel good.

Just a tip, and it sounds bad, but when you do the snatch grips, its ok to use wrist straps. Embarassed

Good day of training. The squat form felt in and I was able to sit back. The weights were moving better than they have in a while. Hope it will transfer over to the heavier sets later this week.

Bench continues to feel strong and the biceps are not hurting as much. Deadlift was moving well also.

Over all, I feel very good and happy with training.

This session started out rough, but then came back strong. The bench against the bands was killing my biceps. Both of them were just screaming today. I almost called it quits.

Good mornings went very well. I am working on hitting the hams harder and not just folding at the waist to make it a low back exercise.

4 cnt bench just would not quit today. Two weeks ago I was happy to get 285x2 and today I got the 295x3. Biceps were bothering me still, but then a training partner came in and suggested super-setting in some hammer curls, very light, just to get the blood flowing and to stretch the bicep out. It worked like a charm!! Thanks Patrick!!

Just back from vacation out to Colorado and then to the Grand Canyon. It was awesome. I trained twice during the vacation, once in Colorado and the elevation kept me from doing anything worth noting, and then once as soon as I got back. I did not record either as they are to far afield of the program.

I felt great going into this session this morning and was very positive about the numbers. I set the numbers a bit lower due to being away for so long. Happy with the results.

The only complaint is that as I was finishing deadlifts my lower back and my right bicep were really screaming. I quit early and did not do the drop sets of 90% as a result. I am not too worried, I knew it would take time to get back to where I should be. Next week will be better if I can just slug it out this week.

Next meet is 10 weeks away and I am jazzed!!

Ran out of gas fast today, so it was a bit of a struggle to keep going. Glad I did not wimp out and ended up getting in a good training session. The 5 cnt pause bench was a PR, so that was cool and on the TFS bench I was able to get the bar down to my chest faster than I have been in the past. So all in all, a good day.

Thanks Lance. Today was not as good, but they cannot all be stellar!!

Disappointing day of training. I did not hit any of the numbers I had planned. Not going to beat myself up too much over it, just getting back from vacation, but next week had better show some of the improvement.
