workout bump

Monday 12.24.12- Macenko's Week 8A*


Christmas eve session! Ended up being a decent workout. I was a bit worried as some of the warmup sets felt heavy. Probably due to the fact that I'm in lazy vacation mode and I just wanted to get in and get out so I can go back to drinking beer.

I cut back on most of the ramp up sets and just did singles (Same thing I did with 7A). Seemed to work well, I even hit a rep PR on one of the AMRAP sets.

Bench
45 x 10
135 x 5
155 x 3
175 x 8
225 x 6
245 x 1
260 x 1
275 x 3 (Matched PR- SMOOOOOOOOTH)
245 x 8 Rep PR
275 x 3 is only a matched PR, but oh man was it smooth and controlled. Much better than last week when the 3rd rep was an ugly grinder. I thought about going for a 4th for a second or 2, but decided to leave a little left in the tank. Worked out well because I crushed a pretty easy 245 x 8 for a PR.

Dips
BW x 10
BW x 10

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU! ENJOY YOUR DAY AND THE TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS! AND STAY SAFE!

Merry Christmas Woody!

Smart to leave some int he tank for the 245, can't wait to see what you get next week!

[LoveMyInk]

Will watch vids later


If you can shower with beer you can workout with beer, right??


Hope you have a great one Woodman and your buddies here too, except the dumb ones.

[DoubleDwayneBow]

Whatcha think Woodman?? I know Hugo is literally nothing as far as quality in the watch world goes, but I asked for it for Christmas because I absolutely fell in love with it...and Santa delivered!

[Raigs]

Solid workout wood.

Pork looks amazing!!!

[12ccopeland]

Hope you had a good Christmas woodman Went from where I live to Lewiston about 20 mins away. Got 2-3" of quality snow (literally looked like a Christmas movie with the huge snow flakes falling straight down) in Lewiston, but nothing where I live. A white Christmas at my memere & pepere's nonetheless :P

[HunterMC6]

Merry belated Christmas Woody! Hope you are ready for this next round of snow could be a nasty one!

[howimliving]

bada*s traing, food pron, awesome vids, equally good tunes, continuous gains

[nads786]

Awesome bench pr! Are high reps more challenging to you than low reps? Sick roast.... I'm hunger now

[FastCatChamp]

In for 8B..............waiting...............

[musicianman]

That food...

That bench...

Good work.

[jshaw5]

Nice benching wood man. When is the max attempt, or are you going to hit 8B first? Hope Christmas was merry in the woody household.

[Ironlife]

Strong lifting my man! Huge sets mate at 275!


I loved the food pics, looks fukin tasty thats for sure and that dipping sauce. Hope the xmas was good for the family mate we had a nice day at my sisters house and saw my niece and nephew. Great times seeing the kids so happy


Bad news, i was doing some baliistic benching with my mate and decided to drop 120 to my chest and catch it and immediately throw it up again, but lost it at the bottom and hurt my sternum bone a bit, been resting it but tried macenkos and my chest was so sore to even touch the bar.. sucks have to rest few more days and see whats gonna happen

Roast was so good (it was beef rather than pork tho)

We got an inch on christmas morning. Just enough to look festive!

Merry belated Christmas Woody! Hope you are ready for this next round of snow could be a nasty one!

Thanks dude! Right back at ya!
The storm didn't quite get as nasty as they were saying, but we got a decent amount. I plowed the driveway when I got home from work and I'll probably have to do it again in the morning

Yeah buddy! Thanks!

Awesome bench pr! Are high reps more challenging to you than low reps? Sick roast.... I'm hunger now

Thanks fella! It seems I'm good at higher rep stuff after a heavy set. Lift heavy then go back to a lighter weight and it feels like a feather

In for 8B..............waiting...............

8B is being axed for a light session so I'm 100% fresh for max day

That food...

That bench...

Good work.

Thanks musicman! Hope you had a great holiday!

Nice benching wood man. When is the max attempt, or are you going to hit 8B first? Hope Christmas was merry in the woody household.

Christmas was awesome! Kids got spoiled rotten as always.
Light session instead of 8B then hopefully max on Monday, provided I'm healthy (update to follow)

Strong lifting my man! Huge sets mate at 275!

Thanks my man! I knew you'd dig that Sub with the au jus

Christmas is a blast watching the young ones tear into presents.

That sucks about the chest- gotta be careful doing stuff like that- sounds too dangerous for my liking. Hopefully it's nothing that a few days rest won't fix

[12ccopeland]

Woody dude we got friggin nailed today with that white stuff. Nom' sayn'?

[howimliving]

patiently awaiting today's madness............

Thursday 12.27.12- Light Session


And the holiday is over! Feels like I can relax a bit now.

Back to work today after the 5 day weekend which sucks, but we're also getting hammered with a big snow storm so travel was hairy, and to top it all off, I'm sick again with something that I came down with Christmas eve. Appetite has been chit, sleep has been next to nothing, body aches, back hurts from coughing, feel weak as a kitten. It's been a rough few days, but I think I'm coming out of it. Hopefully I can be fresh by the weekend and get my calories back up. Can't be having a cold ruin my bench max plans!

Today was suppose to be my macenko's 8B session, but I axed it for some light work just to get the blood flowing and to make sure that I'm fresh for maxing.


Paused Bench
45 x 10
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 3
225 x 3
all paused reps. Bench felt surprisingly strong considering how sh!tty and weak I've been feeling. The 225 paused sets flew off the chest with some serious power which is an excellent sign. My next round of programming is going to involve some paused benching

Front Squats
135 x 5
135 x 5
135 x 5
these didn't feel as good as the bench. Core felt about as rigid as jello on the first set so I didn't bother upping the weight, just did a few sets and moved on

BB Rows
135 x 10
135 x 10
135 x 10
light, strict and easy

[Raigs]

Thanks fella! Vids are win- always nice to go back and look at how you've progressed on lifts and also you can get some excellent form tips from the fellas on here.

[DoubleDwayneBow]

Bring it on fella! When are you going for that 5 plate yank?

Well cause of the cut I might hold off on it. I still think I could rip 455 with authority but def not as close to 500 now that I'm down 15 lbs.

[KenshinH]

Sucks about getting a cold again, but it's good to see you back Woody

[Juggernaut0]

Vitamin C all the way Woodman. Keep taking it at will along with plenty of rest, and you'll be good to go.

[BenT]

rest up and get well soon mate!

[HunterMC6]

Wow with every log I have been following they are either sick or have missed a week + due to travel and family events, and I thought it was just me. Rest up fella and hammer those vitamins! How much snow did you end up getting down your way?
