JANUARY 29 2008

this is my unloading week, so im not doing anything tooooo crazy right now. i did a weird exercise today though:
sandbag complex (around 75 lbs i think?):
1 sandbag clean
2 sandbag jerks
3 sandbag overhead squats

for5 rounds.
the sandbag overhead squats were by far the hardest part because of the close grip that you have to maintain on the bag (maybe a couple inches more than shoulder width)

also, yesterday: MY FIRST MUSCLE UP!!!!!!

lifts tested: snatch
clean & jerk
front squat
snatch: 110 (5 lb increase)
c & j: 170 (previously untested)

feel like this is pretty good considering i was still fried from the week's workouts.
im loving my strength and bodyweight increases.

january 10 2008

i have been leveling off in bodyweight at around 160-161 pounds. i dont think that this is due to anything other than that i have been eating only enough too sustain body weight without adding much. i plan on increasing my caloric intake agin to try to get ass much out of this program as possible. before this past weekend, i was eating around 4500 to 5000 calories per day, and for the last 5 days i have probably been eating around 3000 per day.

this week has been dedicated to testing for my one rep maxes so that i can set up the program for the strength cycle of mass gain.
so far:
back squat: 240
standing press: 130 (up from 120 before i started the massgain)
jerk: 170
clean :165 (up from 135 before i started mass gain)
seems like not only am i getting bigger but WAY stronger!!!
