After a rest day to join some friends out for an evening of fun, I came back to the gym looking forward to having a productive workout. Light week is over, so it’s time to get back to lifting heavy for a week or two. I’m going to repeat light week periodically though, just to […]

Alright I’m starting out this new week with a “light training” week. Going extra low weight and manipulating the intensity of the workout by trying new things, changing the tempo and other techniques. The higher volume will be great, and the first workout was really awesome. Per the usual I did start with appropriate warmups. […]

Quick log for today’s back workout. Had a great time and feel great now that it’s over, better than I did last week. Changed my back warmup this week (normally did rows on a machine) to pair up a light set of bent over rows and good mornings. Also did appropriate warmup sets prior to […]

Okay quick log for today’s back workout. I had a nap attack again today while pulling into Sheetz for a bit of caffeine pep, but maybe that’s for the best to just take the naps when they come. Today’s workout was absolutely monsterous, for me at least… probably one of the hardest I’ve had in […]

The weather this weekend was abysmal and I found myself skipping the gym completely, just wanting to get home for fear of letting the roads get any worse. So I was stuck at home on what really needed to be a back day and I was iffy on whether or not I could make this […]

Quick log of my Saturday back day. I’m playing catchup on posting logs so I’m going to keep this short and sweet. Unless otherwise mentioned you can assume I did 1-3 standard warmup sets, listed is working sets only. Deadlift: Set 1) 5 reps @ 235lbs. Set 2) 5 reps @ 255lbs. Failed 275lbs three […]

Alright had an awesome workout today so thought I’d take a moment to share. Today was back day and per the usual, the gym is getting busier with the “New Year’s Resolution” crowd showing up. It’s the same as around the time I signed up last year, only I don’t do New Year Resolutions it […]

Today was a short back workout. I was running on low energy due to a shitty overcarbed lunch (bottomless steak fries, urgh). Always a bad idea prior to a workout. Anyways after a longer than normal warmup, I went to the deadlift. A storm was brewing outside so getting home before the roads were a […]

Alright quick log of back day. After warmups I went ahead and hit the deadlifts hard, by the time I was done (probably spend 40 minutes on the barbell) I was completely beat up. Deadlifts: Set 1) 12 reps @ 135lbs (warmup). Set 2) 8 reps @ 195lbs. Set 3) 5 reps @ 235lbs. My […]

Alright, a quick log just want to put this to record. For those of you who don’t think there is a reason to have this up on my public site, it’s easily one of the best ways to access these notes after the fact, and I do that frequently. Also it’s free content for the […]
