Rearick Strength: Getting Strong(er) Together
“Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.”
Today was my first workout in 2 weeks!! After the meet I attempted to workout but my body just wouldn’t let me. Then I was off to Panama City so the only working out I did there was 12 oz curls.
I’ll be posting my whole workout program sometime this week. We’ll be doing the now famous 5/3/1 program.
Week 1
Day 1
Bench Press
Worksets
160 X 5
185 X 5
210 X 10
Weighted Chin Ups
5 sets of 5 (use 45 lbs on the last set)
Dips
75 Total Reps (done in the least amount of sets possible)
Standing Dumbbell Alternating Press
5 sets of 5
Conditioning
Burpees for 20 sec
DB Snatch for 20 sec
Rest for 20 Sec
Repeat for 4 Rounds
DONE!
I thought this workout went pretty well for being still unbelievably sore from our 27 hour car ride and 7 straight days of partying. Taking the day off tomorrow and we’ll back at it on Wednesday.
Thanks for reading!

DONE!
I hate to skip exercises but there was no way in hell that doing Turkish get-ups and the conditioning we had planned. In no way would it have benefited me to push myself today. This was my first squat session in 3 months and 225 felt like 500 on my back. Sometimes you just gotta cut the session short and save it for another day. My legs were shaking and starting to seriously cramp, a sure sign to slow down. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! It’ll tell you what to do.
Remember to TRAIN HARD, TRAIN SMART, and NO EXCUSES.

I am so bad at squats that I am embarrassed to even write my weights in… when I have some weights that I'm proud about maybe I’ll write them in but from here on out until I'm any decent at them my squat weights will remain numberless. I couldn’t even squat two wet socks today and my back was still jacked up from Mondays deadlift session. It felt like Mel Gibson was striking me in the back with a hatchet on every rep just like in the movie “The Patriot”.
SLDL 1 Dumbbell
5 sets of 8 reps ea.

Conditioning
Ran hills outside of the Rec Center
It felt great to run outside since the weather is finally above freezing around here. I feel like this running session redeemed my workout and made up for my horrendous squatting abilities because I felt great after. I especially love to run hills which Wendler suggests to do in his 5/3/1 eBook. Anything Wendler says to do to get stronger I would probably do it.

First Time Through the 5/3/1 Program +13 lb Gain
www.rearickstrength.com
So we’ve finally finished up our first time through the 5/3/1 program. It’s safe to say, and I think Kevin will agree with me, that this program works great and we loved it. Repping out on the last set was brutal to try and recover from at first but it got easier by week 4. I started the program 5 weeks ago at 183 lbs (I dieted down for my powerlifting meet) and today I weighed in at 196 lbs. A +13 lb gain. Although this was partly due to the rebound diet effect and gaining little around the middle, I’d guess 6 to 8 lbs of it was muscle. I definitely noticed the biggest gains in my legs and arms since we started. We hadn’t squatted or done more then 5 rep for any exercise two months prior to 5/3/1 due to our training for the push/pull meet. Adding squats back in and doing higher reps definitely made all the difference. I’m real excited to see how much bigger and stronger I can get after doing a full year of 5/3/1. For this round we will be adding 5 lbs to our maxes for the bench, press, and clean and 10 lbs to our max squats and dead lifts.
So for my first time through I ended with:
183lbs to 196lbs = +13 lbs
Bench = 235 X 6
Squat = I suck at squatting so not telling you(working on getting better)
Clean = 195 X 5
Press = 155 X 12
Dead = 355 X 7

Squats + Power Cleans
“I’ve never scene a 6 pack lift a weight”
Everything is starting to come together and I thought I’d just give everyone a quick update. I’ve got some big things planned for the next few weeks:
1. Got news today that EliteFTS, my favorite site in the world, will be posting one of my articles sometime next week. I’ll be sure to get everyone the link when it comes out. Can you guess which one it is???
2. Got a call from Athletic Evolution yesterday, where I interned last summer, and was offered a full time job, which I gratefully accepted. I’ll also be helping them run their AE on Wheels program.
3. Have been in contact with my good friend Paul and I’d like to become the S&C coach for the football team this summer at North Middlesex. I know when I played there I wish we had a S&C coach because we had no clue what we were doing in the weight room. It was the classic case of bench and bi’s everyday there. I hope it works out because I have some great ideas that I’d love to implement to get the program back to where it use to be.
4. Rearick Strength Systems will be open for business! Kevin and I have been working on a website business and have set a launch date for May 14th. We will be offering In-Home training where we bring all the equipment to you and train you right at your home! We will also be offering online training (through email and phone support), group training (we will travel to you and your friends), and sports team training (we travel to you and your athletes).
* We are both looking for people to write us testimonials. If you have ever trained with or been trained by us and wouldn’t mind writing up a 3 to 5 sentence paragraph about one of us or both of us it would be greatly appreciated.
** We are also looking for people to critique and review our website. We want useful feedback before we launch. We want everything to be perfect before we put this out there and everyone opinions matter because you are our readers and our potential customers. If you are interested leave a comment below and I’ll get in touch with you.
5. May 15th I graduate from college! and its all downhill from there…. haha just kidding

I'm glad to say that not once this week did my knees cave in. I’ll hopefully be able to squat some respectable weights sometime soon.

“Learn in your twenties, earn in your thirties”
Finally started work this past week and could not be more excited. I am working as strength coach at Athletic Evolution in Woburn. I interned there last year and the facility size and equipment have both doubled since then. I now have access to everything a strength athlete could ever dream of so my workouts will be getting a lot more creative and a lot more fun. I’ll be getting up a ton more video and pictures also. If your ever in the area and want to workout just let me know!
Also have a video of my last deadlift workout with an awesome conditioning finisher at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
