Quick log for Deadlift/Front Squat Day for cycle 4. This cycle is a speed training cycle, to improve the ability to apply explosive force in lifts. It was rough simply because training for explosiveness is new to me, and I was not satisfied with the speed of most of my lifts, but that’s okay – […]

Just posted two more logs to the backpages if interested. Today is the log for Dev Day which was a workout back at LA Fitness, I still have till June 15th to go there if it’s convenient and I decided to meet my running partner for a run after so felt like it’d be cool […]

Today is Front Squat & Bench Press day. Again cycle 3 which is hypertrophy plus – focus on lifting a little more than last week’s workout. Again just recording this more for the log than anything else. Trying a different substitute for bench pressing, an iso-lateral machine. Wasn’t really satisfied with the results. Front Squat: […]

Alright today was Bench Press & Deadlift day just wanted to record a quick log. We are in cycle 3 of the training plan, an extra hypertrophy training cycle… repeat of last week with either greater volume, greater resistance or more demanding technique. I’ll keep this pretty simple because it’s more or less a repeat […]

Alright today was a new day of my third cycle of my fitness program… the next four workouts will be focused on hypertrophy adding rep ranges (8-12 reps) with a little extra than what I did last cycle. I’m also testing out new splits on the lifting to see where I’m at. This workout was […]

Today is developmental day, and quite a fun one at that. My priority on dev day from now on is shoulder rehab, so I’m focusing on strengthening the shoulder muscles particularly the posterior delts and upper back. I’ve been trying corrective posture, stretching and diminishing my weight levels in front presses… hoping all this cumulatively […]

Today was workout C in the first hypertrophy training cycle of my new workout plan, a Front Squat/Bench Press day. Like the last time, I am substituting light weight dumbbell chest presses for the bench press until my shoulders are healed up from the bad impingement they’ve had. Impingement got worse from work, where I […]

Alright again on cycle 2 of my new training program, which is a hypertrophy cycle. This time my primary lifts are Bench Press & Deadlifts. Due to shoulder impingement, the bench press is being ditched for high volume low weight dumbbell chest presses. This seems to just be safer, but still isolates and stimulates the […]

Alright short log for the first day of my first hypertrophy cycle. Higher volume, lower weight is the theme. Keeping the log short as I’m a few days behind in recording, I have a video to share though so it’ll get to the front page (boo!). Today is Deadlifts/Front Squats. Put a lot of work […]

The last day of my first week cycle of my new program, yay! The cycle ends with Front Squat & Bench Press Day. Being the first week’s cycle the theme is basic conditioning. Just laying down to record how it went! Front Squat: Felt real good, then bad, then good about it. First did my […]
