Notes: My previous training the past 6 months focused on a lot of singles and triples, so it was nice being able to perform some high rep exercises. The goal of this routine is to use assistance work that aids in muscle growth but does not detract from recovery on the main lift. Wendler suggests using 30-40% of your 1RM to start off with.
As you can see, I did not use a heavy load at all, nor did I need a heavy load. I deliberately kept rest periods at 60 seconds or less, & it wasn't easy despite the low intensity.
The literature suggests that hypertrophy can be stimulated using loads as low as 30-40%. For anyone interested, search terms 'vascular occlusion training' or 'KAATSU research.' For a practical take on this research, Google Matt Perryman with the above terms.

Notes: I haven't done anything over a triple for Deadlifts in 6 months. So needless to say, 385 lbs for 6 reps was exhausting. Grip becomes the limiting factor as fatigue sets in. I may decrease the warm-up reps as well.
I was an idiot this weekend and performed an intense HIT session that I have not fully recovered from. So, I can only hope my lackluster performance was attributed to my stupidity.
I immediately dropped the weight on Barbell Hip Thrusts after the first set. I wasn't going to be able to grind through 5 sets at that weight. This is a VERY underrated exercise that helps to improve inhibited glutes due to tight hip flexors from APT. This should have excellent carryover to my DL & Squat performance.

Notes: I used a conservative training max for squats to work on depth. I have very tight hip flexors & low back which makes it difficult not to round when squatting at an adequate depth. My personal goal is to aim for TRUE parallel, which means the crease of the hip is below the top surface of the knee.

Notes: I wasn't feeling up to par today for some reason. My bench took a drastic decline. Instead of attempting 4 reps, I stayed at 250x3. It was pretty pathetic, but I get a chance to beat this next cycle. I can't allow one bad day to ruin the whole week. It's going to happen, especially as the weight increases each cycle.

(Layne wants me to start a 3 week mini-cut back to 200 lbs. 3x week I will be consuming 400g C, & the other 4 I am allowed just 200g per day. Protein needs are slightly increased on these days & F differs by 5g)Last edited by jdjprimer19; 04-03-2011 at 06:06 PM.

Notes: I was surprised to tie my rep max last week with heavier weight. Unfortunately, I did not video-tape yesterday's reps to ensure that form was on par with the previous week. Since this was my last week before de-loading, I decided to progressively increase each set of Leg Presses. I am ready to take a short break & jump right into cycle #2.

TUESDAY, WEEK 5 (CYCLE 2)
Warm-up: Completed. See post numero dos.
A) Deadlift: Training Max 460 lbs
Warm-up
(40%) 5x185
(50%) 5x230

Assistance: As Wendler so elegantly calls it, 'I Ain't Doing Jacksh*t'
Notes: I beat my previous 5RM week of 385x6. These aren't huge improvements, but they are progress nonetheless. I performed zero assistance because I had just worked a 14 hour shift, and had to follow it up with another 12 the next day. I did what I needed to do & left.
