9/13/10

Axle Strict Press
Worked up to 10x135x3, it was supposed to be 3x3, but bryce was an asshole and said we had to keep doing it till sean got there.

Unilateral Overhead DB press
3x60x5 2x50x5


Pull-ups- 3x3
Dips- 3x5
If you haven't noticed, i really have to work on my body weight movements

Face Pulls- 3x70x10

2" DB timed hold- 3x115x30s

Today was a brutal day, with a shit ton of strict pressing. I've decided to forget about my own scheduling, and just follow what bryce has written up. It's a four day a week, two week schedule, focusing on a lot of strict pressing, as well as high rep, heavy weight movements for hypertrophy. I'll be doing this for a while, so maybe i can get my press up to somewhere close to competing with carlos reyes. Otherwise, i'm going to be stepping up my conditioning as well as trying to eat healthier so i can get a clean cut to 210-215 since im 220 right now. I'll also be putting all of my iron psyche methods to the test, which i feel will help greatly.

Got a nasty charlie horse on the 210 attempt, stopped after that.

So yeah, it was an alright week, pushing the 710 prowler made me feel like a monster, as well as my 405x2 deadlift. I've decided to compete in the Steel Valley Strongman on october 9th along with Sean and Jay, it'll be a tough one.

I'm not feeling the whole writing thing right now, so i'll try to post more frequently so i don't have to worry about posting as much.
