So for a quick intro I'm doing a modified BLSS after doing the actual one since may 2012, I'm 180 cm 93 kg, started at 67 kg about one year ago, I'm 16 years old and currently in high school. Had the actual BLSS with Power Cleans instead of BB Rows at one point but I changed some things and now my program looks like this:
Workout A:
Back Squat 5x3
Bench 5x3
Lat Movement 5x10
Upper Back Assistance 3x8-10
Tricep Assistance 3x8-10
Abs 5x10
Workout B:
Deadlifts 2x3
OHP 5x3
Posterior Chain Movement 5x10
Hamstring Assistance 3x8-10
Abs 5x10
AxBxAxx, BxAxBxx Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Currently I'm at around a 110-115 kg Bench, 125 kg Dquat and 160 kg Dead, hoping to bump bench to 125 kg, Squat to 145 kg and Dead to 180 kg by may 3rd, my 17th birthday. Bumping lifts with 2,5 or 1 kg everytime I train. All numbers will be in kg. Expect to gain a few kilos in the process, wouldn't hurt to put some meat on my body.
Today was workout A day so I did:
Squat:
Bar 2x8
50 2x5
75 1x3
90 1x1
102,5 5x3
Pretty easy, definitely weak out of the hole, although if I can get it past parallel 99% of the time, I can lock it out too, same with bench and dead.
Bench:
Bar 2x8
45 2x5
70 1x3
85 1x1
96 5x3
These reps were quite hard for me, I use a "standard" powerlifting bench set up, still working on making it flawless though.
DB Rows:
35 5x8
This was rough, going for 5x10 next time with same weight, then 5x6 or 5x8 with 37,5 kg dumbbell, same style of progression on all assistance lifts.
Lying EZ Tricep Extension:
35 3x10
This really helped my benchpress almost as soon as I started doing it, awesome exercise.
Facepulls:
50 3x10
Good contraction, I really like this exercise
3x8
Standing Cable Crunches, bend over to past parallel:
60 5x10
This is always a bitch, hate doing abs.
Cable Tricep Pushdowns just because I felt like throwing in some extra for triceps:
50 3x10
Red miniband pull aparts, rotator cuff work at the end, I have a shoulder that's bugging me. Deadlifts on monday, can't wait!

This saturday the 9th of december I decided to go to the gym for a bench assistance session. I'm not really hitting any heavy triceps movements until Wednesday next week, expect for OHP on monday. Got in something like ~3000 calories. I did the following:
Speed Bench:
50 8x3
Very fast reps and also good for practicing my setup and legdrive, since I'm weakest at the bottom.
Last:
Went for Seated Cable Rows, definitely feel this one in my lats, great exercise.
75 5x10
Triceps, went for Lying Tricep Extension.
25 5x10
Shoulders tried Seated Shoulder Press but my shoulder was bugging me, so went with Lateral Raises instead.
7,5 5x10 easy
Upper Back, went for some Facepulls, love this one, sore already.
55 5x10
Biceps, this was spontaneous, went for Hammer Curls
17,5 3x6-8 reps each arm
Then did 100 total reps of rear delt/shoulder mobility work with bands to try and keep my shoulder in check. Very excited about deadlifts on monday.Raw Powerlifting

So today monday was a deadlift day, and I bumped up by 5 kg on my deads. Felt really beat up, my spinal erectors were trashed, probably due to eating very little sunday, this DOMS is epic. I got my new Adidas Power Perfect 2 shoes, they feel great and firm, probably awesome for squats too. Anyway:
Deadlifts
150 2x3
Went well, but reps were kinda grinding, pretty worked up before this set. PR in sight. 4 minutes between sets.
Goodmornings
60 5x5 PR
These were pretty easy but the form and flexibility is bugging me so I was kinda irritated. 1:30 min. between sets.
OHP
53,5 5x3 PR
I've been microloading every exercise for quite some time, just add 1 or 1,5 kg per session depending. Went well, it seems when my press increases, so does my bench. 4 minutes between sets.
Facepulls
60 3x10 PR
These were pretty easy, with a good contraction. My traps are always sore, either due to benching or directly working my upper back.
Lying Leg Curls
Number 6 on the machine 3x10, 2x8
Very hard reps, I'll just stay with this for next time, aiming for 5x8 or 5x10.
Standing Cable Crunches
60 kg 5x10 PR
Pretty easy with better form, definitely felt it in my abs. God I hate doing abs.
Some band stretches and foam rolling for my erectors. Weight now around 94 kg. Probably crossing 100 kg bodyweight by next winter. Can't wait for Squats on wednesday, trying out my new shoes for real.Raw Powerlifting

Wednesday, Back Squat Day. Knee was jacked up, swollen and ****, went for my increase anyway.
Back Squat
105 5x3
Pretty easy, my new shoes make it easier for me to press through my feet more effectively, my knee made me constantly worry about form though.
After this I tried benching, wanted to go for paused reps, but my knee limited me setup so severely that there was no point in trying. So I thought I'd just hammer my triceps a bit more instead with some....
Lying EZ Tricep Extensions
25 5x10
For lats I went with Seated Cable Rows:
80 5x10
I'm hoping for this to recover soon, I'll probably take a deload after all this, I'm feeling trashed despite eating fine and sleeping fine, I think I'll have better progress with less stress on my body.Raw Powerlifting

75 5x3
Deloaded, easy. 5x5 next time, then 77,5 5x3, then 5x5 and so on. Planning on using this method for my other lifts too.

Wednesday 19th of december. Knee still obviously damaged so I refrained from deadlifting today. I went for a OHP PR of 1 plate, or 60 kg. It went like this:
Bar 2x8
30 2x5
40 1x3
50 1x1
60 1x1
65 1x0
Think I could get 65, I went for it, pressed out of the bottom, got stuck in the middle trying to grind it out, but failed. At my current bodyweight I just need a 70 kg to get to 0,75xbodyweight, a milestone in my progress.
Next up Goodmornings:
Bar 2x8
50 1x5
70 4x5
Good stretch, felt like I needed to train my hamstrings to a certain extent without too much knee flexion. Worked well, felt good.
Abs, went for some heavier sets, hate high rep abs.
65 5x8
Fairly "easy".
75 reps of band pull aparts, more narrow grip, really felt it in my upper back and rear delts, shoulder kinda bugging me but it felt good. Deloading press and then going for 65x1 or maybe 70x1 next time around.Raw Powerlifting

Friday 21st of december. More casual session, bad diet and sleep leading up to it. A bench press day.
So I started on the bench.
Barx8

40x5
40x5
60x3
60x3
75x5
75x5
75x5

All went pretty easy, knee still hurts when setting up, though.
Next up BB rows, just went straight to 'em.
50x5
70x5
70x5
70x5
70x5
70x5
Fairly easy, no bad reps or anything.
For triceps I decided to go with something heavier. Floor Press, first time doing this exercise. I got:
50x3
70x3
70x3
90x1
100x1
All with relatively low rest in between and not too much hassle. Almost zero legdrive due to my knee.
Abs, standing cable crunches, deep reps till' I look between my own legs.
70x6
70x6
70x6
70x6
70x6
From now on I'll only do heavy movements assistance, 5x5s, 3x5s or 5x3s just for triceps, back and posterior chain, no curls, just chinups or rows, no leg curls, just goodmornings, etc. I think this'll work better, and I hate the DOMS from 1000 reps of BBing work. I'm doing a general deload as soon as I get back to squatting and deadlifting, so I'll make the goals in my sig in time, hopefully.
Didn't train on 24th of december because I couldn't come home, visiting dad 40 km away and no busses because of snowRaw Powerlifting

28th of december, DL day. Knee still swollen at this point, so I went with deadlifts off boxes to avoid knee flexion.
DL off boxes:
110x3
110x3
110x3
This was much better for my knee, pretty fast reps, 1½ minutes of rest between sets.
OHP deloading. Heavier than I expected, likely because of a ****ty warm-up.
45x3
45x3
45x3
45x3
45x3
Went well, pretty easy.
Pendlay Rows:
72,5x5
72,5x5
72,5x5
72,5x5
72,5x5
Went well, pulled from 5 cm boxes because of lack of flexibility.
Chinups to reverse my ****ty internal shoulder rotation
BWx10
BWx5
BWx5
I suck.
As of today, my knee feels much better, might bench tomorrow.
EDIT: Started doing Pendlay Rows on all days, both A and B days, as least so far, quicker progression on the lift and better potential to fix my internal shoulder rotation. Win win.Last edited by DaneMuscle; 12-31-2012 at 09:22 AM.

2nd of January, Deadlift day. Both my knee and shoulder were acting up today. I got up late and just barely made the bus, so no food before that, as I had an appointment in the evening. Anyway, I looked at Sumo Deadlifts and I think I'll pull better that way. I tried some Rack Pulls today.
Sumo Rack Pulls from the knee:
60x3
60x3
100x3
120x1
135x1
150x1
165x1 (PR!)
180x1 (PR!)
PR would be anything over my best conventional pull to date. These went well, probably could have gotten 190 or 200x1 if I was fresh.
Tried to OHP, but even the warm-ups hurt my shoulder. I've got to get this shoulder issue fixed. Feels like I can just add gains on gains on gains on gains on my bench and press, but my shoulders just feel like ****. Anyway, Instead I went on with
Pendlay Rows, decided **** warm ups, and just went for it.
75x5
75x5
75x5
75x5
75x5
Rep PRs
These felt good, the little amount of difficulty was probably due to my lack of warm up.
At the end I went with pull-aparts, which I will now be doing every workout, they really pumped my traps and rear delts, no more soreness in a matter of 5 minutes.
Red mini-bandx20
Red mini-bandx20
Red mini-bandx20
Red mini-bandx20
Red mini-bandx20
For a total of 100 reps, felt good. That was it for today, more PRs on friday. Got in 3300 calories post-workout, partly thanks to my nice gf who always stuffs me with food. Will make an effort to eat more in the upcoming days, will be starting school soon, so I might cut down on some volume as my sleep will likely be worse. 2013 for +100 kg BW.Last edited by DaneMuscle; 01-02-2013 at 12:07 PM.

82,5x5

Seems like my technique with floor press is still getting better, more explosive at the bottom. Wore wrist wraps for ****s one the last set.
Pendlay Rows:
50x8
77,5x3
77,5x3
77,5x3
77,5x3
77,5x3
^PRs!
These were nice, still not too hard. Like with goodmornings, I feel like flexibility is more of an issue than the weight, it doesn't feel very hard to pull this weight, I just get exhausted from being in that position.
Tricep work.
Lying Tricep Extension
35x5
40x5
45x5 PR!
Glad I got this, triceps getting stronger fast.
The logical impulse "I do more tricep work, I should do more back work to even out" crossed my mind, so...
Seated Cable Rows:
85x8
85x10 PR
90x8 PR
Very good session, felt great. If my knee doesn't heal up anytime soon I might compete in an only bench meet sometime.Last edited by DaneMuscle; 01-04-2013 at 10:43 AM.

Sleep and diet over the weekend haven't been too great, got my 8 hours and 3500-4000 kcal per day at least, looking forward to doing some OHP'ing monday, will probably incorporate some shoulder work. I need some posterior chain work that doesn't stress my knee very much.

7th of january, "deadlift" day. I decided to go with Goodmornings as my new movement for posterior chain, will do it every workout now as a "replacement" for squats/deadlifts because of my knee's current state. Getting it checked tomorrow. Thinking it might be a muscle imbalance between my hamstring and quadriceps. So...!
Goodmornings
Barx5
Barx5
40x5
40x5
70x3
70x3
70x3
70x3
70x3
Felt kinda heavy on my shoulders, probably because the warm up wasn't very thorough, went well anyway. Same weight/rep progression as normally.
OHP:
Barx5
Barx5
30x3
45x5
45x5
45x5
45x5
45x5
This went well, I much prefer doing heavier sets of 3 than these sets of 5.
So this is where my session ****ed up, it was 5 in the afternoon, and only then I remembered I had an appointment at 17:30, so I had to skip my rows and pull aparts, and just do some Seated Cable Rows, they went like this:
85x8
85x8
85x8
Easy stuff, just a minute between sets. My shoulder felt kinda jacked up afterwards, probably because of the lack of pull aparts. It's all a bit chaotic at the moment, with my eating too, but I'm managing it. Can't wait to get my knee checked tomorrow. Pretty good day anyway.Raw Powerlifting

Talked to the doctor, she said that my problem was connective tissues around the joint, and not the joint itself, and said that I should avoid heavy negatives with squats for a while. Also prescribed medicine for me. The problem actually occurred when I started squatting wider, when I was doing just-barely-ATG squats with ligher weights and narrow stance, there were no problems, my knees felt good. When my knee heals up, I'll probaby go with that instead of the traditional wide powerlifting stance.

9th of January, Floor Press day. Started out with Goodmornings, which I have started to do every workout. Now I realize this might be a bit too much for my erectors, hoping I'll get used to it. So...
Goodmornings:
Barx5
Barx5
40x5
40x5
60x3
70x5
70x5
70x5
70x5
70x5
Went well, a bit hard, but good reps.
Then, Floor Press:

40x5
40x5
60x3
60x3
82,5x5
82,5x5
82,5x5
82,5x5
82,5x5
PRZZZ, good pauses
These were kinda hard, used a full 1 second pause, worked on putting max pressing effort into the bar with an explosion. Flatback, no arch, just triceps, tits and delts.
Pendlay Rows:
50x5
77,5x5
77,5x5
77,5x5
77,5x5
77,5x5
A bit of torsojerking on some reps, fixed this by looking down.
Then some Triceps, will be doing lighter work on "Deadlift" days. First, time....
SPOON PRESS:
20x5 (Thought it would be heavy because of the new exercise)
30x5 PR
35x5 PR
40x5 PR
All pretty easy, I like this exercise, will be hitting some good PR's with it.
Then back work, went for some Facepulls:
50x10
50x10
50x10
50x10
50x10
Focused on getting a good contraction, trying to build some mass on my back.
Got me a good little 1300-ish cals right after training, good stuff. Will be taking in about 4000 cals today. Good session.Last edited by DaneMuscle; 01-09-2013 at 12:21 PM.

11th of january, "Deadlift Day". Bad sleep leading up to this day, trashed upper back and a tight knee. Didn't seem like it was going to be a very good session. Anyway, starting off with...
OHP:
Barx8
Barx8
35x5
35x5
47,5x3
47,5x3
47,5x3
47,5x3
47,5x3
These were nice, I felt more tight during the whole set, started having complete 1-second-ish pauses at the bottom, I think this will help develop my bottom level strength.
Said **** Pendlay Rows, went straight to my upperback work:
Dumbbell Rows:
35x10
35x10
35x10
35x10
35x10
PRs n' stuff
Form wasn't spot on everytime, but I pushed through that and made it the best possible, taking a breath between reps.
Then some shoulder work, or so I thought. I started wanting to do Front Raises, asked the club's only bodybuilder what he'd do for front delt mass, and he recommended Incline DB/BB Bench. First I started off with Incline DB, this ****ed up, so I went to Incline BB Bench, loaded up 50 kg, expecting to do 5x10 fairly easy. Lo and behold, I struggled to complete 2x10, was weak as **** off the bottom and just in general was very fatigued. So I found a superweak point, I have a weak chest and shoulders, also relatively small delts. So this I'll be working on, introducing something like 5x5 Incline BB Bench on OHP days to really hit that spot hard. I've only been floor pressing since my knee injury, so this probably just triggered that weak spot even more.
I also found that with stretching my hamstring and contracting my knee, I can momentarily get rid of most of that tightness. So hopefully I can start doing some light DL's soon. After this, 100 reps of pull aparts, then had my post-workout yoghurt, and got home. Good session.Raw Powerlifting

14th of january, switched cycle around so today was B day, for deadlifts. Decided to try Sumo Deadlifts today. So I warmed up my knee a bit, and started working in with this other guy pulling conventional deads.

120x3

140x2
140x1
Worked up fairly near my conventional PR 152,5x5 with ~2 min. rest between sets and neved pulled sumo before, I think this is the right style for me. The guy I was working with told me to make the initial pull slower and less of a "jerking" motion, and this actually made me feel more tight, especially pulling the slack out of the bar beforehand.
Will be doing this ramping up to a top set of 3/5 on B days from now on, will introduce lighter squats if my knee keeps feeling good.

35x3

This went well, those 5 rep sets feel like ****ing cardio though, my endurance sucks.
DB Rows:
30x10
30x10
30x10
30x10
30x10
As opposed to last time using 35 kgs, I had proper form through out these sets, definitely felt it in my back.
Shoulder/chest stuff:
EZ Bar Front Raises:
15x10
15x10
15x10
15x10
15x10
Maybe I would be better off using an exercise with better loading potential, probably using this/incline bench for lower reps next time.
100 reps pull aparts, felt good. Great session, volume seemed perfect for the day. 1100 cals post-workout chocolate <3 <3 <3 Until wednesday.Raw Powerlifting

This went well, was hard but got all my reps.
Went on to do Back and Triceps stuff.
Dumbbell Rows:
35x8
37,5x6 PR
40x6 PR
Spoon Press:
35x8
40x8 PR
42,5x5 PR
Starting to like this exercise, I've noticed increased tricep strength and size, same with my back. Glad to make progress on something now that my knee is ****ed up.
Tried backsquatting with just the bar first in this workout couldn't do it, now the day after my knee is swollen and tight. Maybe I should take the meds I've been prescribed. Will be stretching, hope it'll help. I probably won't be deadlifting much on Friday :'(

Friday's training, very surprising. Knee swollen as **** in the morning, could barely extend my knee. At about 1 o'clock I got to the gym, my knee had been getting better over the course of the day. So I wanted to start with some light...
Sumo Deadlifts, this exercise took an interesting turn.

100x3

120x1

Worked up to that PR kind of out of nowhere, was glad about that.
Overhead Press, should have been 47,5 5x5 but I was in PRland, so I decided to go for it.
Barx8

35x5

Then to backwork, Seated Cable Rows:
85x8
90x8
95x8 PR
Shoulder/Chest assistance:
Incline BB Bench
50x8
55x6
60x6
I suck at these, really need stronger shoulders and chest.
Got in ~2500 cals worth of food as a post-workout meal.
I'll be looking into a different kind of rep/set cycle for the next month, lasting over 4 weeks. 5x3/3x2/2x1/deload, with week number three basically being a PR week, where I ideally will be hitting 5 kg PRs on deadlifts and 2,5 kg PRs on Floor Presses and OHP. If I can go for more, I will do that of course. Food and sleep better these days.Raw Powerlifting

21th of january, Floor Press. This ended up as quite an interesting day, I had some new ideas for tricep work. Starting off with Floor Press, I have a 1RM Attempt (Lol, attempt) on friday of 105 kg, this number will dictate the numbers for my 5x3/3x2/2x1 cycle starting from next monday. Today was 3x2.

Went well, good pauses.
Did some spontaneous backstuff, never done these before.
Inverted Rows:
BWx10
BWx10
Bwx10
Then I collected some chains around the gym, got 20 ~1 kg chains and made this up on the fly, wanted to do a ramping/dropset kind of thing. Number before reps is number of chains and also roughly added weight in kg.
10x10
15x8
20x6
15x6
10x6
30 sec. rest between sets.
Then went over to finish off the tricep work, made this up on the fly too.
Tricep Pushdowns, straight bar.
50x10
60x8
70x6
60x6
50x8
Then some back stuff (My ADHD definitely shows when logging this session):
V-Bar Lat Pulldowns
80x8
70x8
50x8
Very nice session, finished it off with 100 reps of rotator cuff work.
I'll be hitting a 1RM of 65 kg wednesday on OHP, this will determine percentages for my upcoming cycle. Just medium intensity 3x2 Sumos on wednesday.Raw Powerlifting

23th of january, sumo taim. My knee was feeling a bit tight, I had PE at school before training, so I walked around a bit more and it didn't take much to warm up my knee at the gym. Starting off with Sumo Deadlifts.
50x5
50x5
70x5
100x3
100x3
120x1
145x2

Wasn't really sure what to do for today's deadlifts, since I'm starting a cycle (*Grin*) next week. Was fairly easy, all the singles were a piece of cake.
Then OHP:
Barx5
Barx5
30x3
30x5
50x1
65x1
This was a grinder, an absolute max. Will be basing my cycle off of this lift. 35 kg more to the holy grail, 100 kg strict OHP.
Back **** around with some Cable Rows, irrelevant.
Incline BB Bench. I think it's important to have some kind of full range pressing to my chest when I don't bench at the moment.
55x8
60x6
65x5
Had about 2 left on every set, I shouldn't be pushing as hard on assistance, I'm trying hard not to make the typical novice mistake of losing focus and doing too much work in the gym.
Calories for today 'bout 4700-5000.
Good session.Raw Powerlifting

Floorpress:
Barx3x5
50x3x5
70x2x3
80x2x2
90x1x1
105x1 PR!
Good pausing, probably had something like 5-7,5 kg more in me.
Moving onto chinups, this took a lot of time.

100 reps of rotator cuff work/pull aparts. 5-10 minutes stretching.
