My “Phase 2” intermediate lifting program during this revision is now by the nickname “Liquid”, so updating the title to reflect that. While I still post exercise logs quietly in the background of my website, my focus now is more on getting them logged for personal records more than anything else not to provide good […]

Deload day again, this will be my last deload workout before starting my new exercise cycle. Front Squat and Bench Press day… Front Squat: Set 1) 5 reps @ 120lbs. Set 2) 5 reps @ 120lbs. Set 3) 5 reps @ 140lbs. Bench Press: Set 1) 3 reps @ 115lbs. Set 2) 3 reps @ […]

Cardio only today, had a great run at Monroeville Community Park today clocking in 6.14 miles, really great weather. Day off from lifting, so just ran to keep busy.

Despite a power outage at the gym and low energy, I made it through an other workout. Bench Press/Deadlift day… Bench Press: Set 1) 5 reps @ 115lbs. Set 2) 5 reps @ 115lbs. Set 3) 5 reps @ 135lbs. Deadlift: Set 1) 3 reps @ 205lbs. Set 2) 3 reps @ 205lbs. Set 3) […]

I started a deload due to a lot of personal life stress (job situation) and just found it hard to focus, so felt like the best thing was just deloading. I also needed time to completely rework my plan, which I’ll detail in it’s own log. Deadlift/Front Squat day deloaded… Deadlift: Set 1) 5 reps […]

Two rest days (had some stuff going on) plus a cardio only day left me well rested but anxious to get back to the grindstone and finish up this workout cycle. It definitely paid off in an awesome workout! Front Squat: Set a new PR today just on a whim! Not only was it good […]

Got a run in today, 3.7 miles through Boyce Park. Was scouting a path for a hike on the upcoming Sunday. Was very useful to learn a layout of the trails, but also very wet. Cardio only log.

For Bench Press & Deadlift day, I am feeling a ton better from the day previous workout. In fact I’d wager to say my deadlifting was 10% better. Some days are just crappy days for lifting. Decline Bench Press: Being I spent so much of this training period doing declines, I decided heavy day would […]

Deadlift & Front Squat day, cycle 6. Today I had an awful energy level, was dehydrated and in general felt like crap. Excuses aside, my deadlifting was poor enough that I’m only increasing my training max 5lbs. Deadlift: Set 1) 5 reps @ 260lbs. Set 2) 3 reps @ 275lbs. Set 3) 2 reps @ […]
