    Angry Liftingbuddy1's Monster-Strength Training Program Journal

    First off, I apologize for the ridiculous title of the journal...I blanked .

    Secondly, let me say to the members who have subscribed to my journals in the past: Sry for making so many journals so soon. All are welcome to follow along....this journal will be 'round for a while. There's a link in the old journal to this one.

    I'm doing this new program because it's more geared towards my goals. Below are my goals:
    -To build a big and strong base within 2 years or until I turn 19 years old.
    -Deadlift 405 lbs for reps.
    -Squat more than I do now .


    With this routine, I will not be super pissed if I don't fit all the days into the week, it's fine if it carries over. I will try to remember and label PRs and Failures according to this color set-up: green and orange, respectively.

    Here is the outline of my routine:

    Upper/Lower

    UPPER 1 (BACK STRENGTH FOCUS)
    Flat Dumbbell Bench Press - 3-4x8-10
    Barbell Rows - 5x5
    Dips - 1-2xMAX


    LOWER 1 (SQUAT STRENGTH FOCUS)
    Squats - 5x5 ALT 4-5x8-10
    Hyperextensions - 2-3x8-12


    UPPER 2 (CHEST STRENGTH FOCUS)
    Dumbbell Rows - 3-4x8-10
    Incline Barbell Bench Press - 5x5
    Pull-Ups - 1-2xMAX


    LOWER 2 (DEADLIFT STRENGTH FOCUS)
    Deadlifts - 5x5
    Walking Lunges - 2-3x10-12


    The Hyperextensions and Walking Lunges are "assistance work" for the Squat and Deadlift day. I threw the majority of the program together and asked RipStone for his advice on it, which he gladly offered. So I made the changes that he suggested for the exception of the squat rep ranges. I might just go to 5x5 every Squat session, but I want to try this and see how my body responds.

    Hope all who watch and subscribe enjoy! Now.....Lets tear it up!!!

    Smile Day 1....


    10/18/2007
    Upper


    FLAT DUMBBELL BENCH PRESS
    Warmup Set(s): 30x10

    45x10
    45x10
    45x10
    45x10

    Good pressing here. Expected to hit this weight without problem.

    BARBELL ROWS
    Warmup Set(s): 95x5

    135x5
    135x5
    135x5
    135x5
    135x10

    The first set irritated my wrist again, so I changed the grip to slightly inside shoulder width. This did the trick, no pain, easy repping. Went all out on the last set.

    DIPS

    BWx7

    Failed here, but it's ok. I'm going to hope that it's just some gym rust and that my dips will be back soon.


    OVERALL: Great workout, awesome PR on Barbell Rows.


    Mike

    Good question. I actually wanted to milk SS for all it was worth and then move on to a more "bodybuilder" routine. I really wasn't thinking too clearly when I did this b/c I lacked to consider my age, experience, and current lifts.

    So as a result of this realization and the fact that Push/Pull/Legs was too much volume (too much pressing in one session), I was thinking about how some ppl just do one or 2 exercises a day and get real good at them (like gobbles). Then I threw this routine together and had RipStone look it over. With a few suggestions, I got this.

    To directly answer your question about why I didn't pick The Texas Method or Madcows 5x5 is because I didn't want to feel confined to a routine in the sense that I must do this and that. Not that I wouldn't want to do the exercises, it's just a mental thing I guess. This routine isn't set in stone; it's subject to change and I like that.

    With 2 years to be working on it....4 plates sounds plausible. I think I meant to put 275 as a short term goal. Will fix.

    Day 2....Squats...Squats....Squats!


    10/20/2007
    Lower


    SQUATS
    Warmup Set(s): 95x10; 135x5

    185x5
    185x5
    185x5
    185x5
    185x3

    A little heavier than I anticipated. Failed on the last set. Will repeat this weight.

    HYPEREXTENSIONS

    BWx10
    (+25)x10
    (+45)x10

    I've never tried these before so I didn't know what to expect. I really feel these in the lower back. Will increase weights next time.


    OVERALL: Glad to be squatting again.

    What's up bro? Are you working 5x5 on everything? Saw you post in another dudes log, thought I'd subscribe
    Sup man. Thanks for subscribing! It's 5x5 for Incline Bench Press, Barbell Rows, Squats and Deadlifts.

    Angry Day 3


    10/22/2007
    Upper


    DUMBBELL ROWS
    Warmup Set(s): 45x10

    70x8
    65x10

    65x8
    65x7

    Strong rowing today. Dropped from the 70's to 65's because I was using a little more momentum than I should have. My left arm is noticably weaker in this exercise.

    INCLINE BARBELL BENCH PRESS
    Warmup Set(s): 65x5

    95x5
    95x5
    95x5
    95x5
    95x5


    I've never done Incline before, so this was brand new. The bar was slightly wobbly as expected. This was a 10+ rep weight easily. Will increase next time.

    PULL-UPS

    2,2,2,3,3,3

    Did these rest-pause style using a 15-45 second rest in between.


    OVERALL: Great workout.

    Pretty sure you had your chest and back days mixed. Personally I would do BB rows from the floor on my back strength day because those hit your upper back from the pull AND your lower back from supporting your body, you could just switch the DB rows to the chest day. I wouldn't do so many sets of deadlifts either. You could sub in some SLDL's, they have an excellent carryover to the deadlift but don't tax your body as much.

    This is the very first post of my journal. In it, I have Back Strength focus on the first Upper day with Bent Barbell Rows. The Chest Strength focus has Incline Bench Press. Did you quote my first post and switch the "Back" and "Chest" because maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it looks to me like you're contradicting yourself in your post. Help clear up my confusion . Sry.

    Hey, thought I'd check in because you stopped by mine this morning. I think what was confusing is that you labeled your strength days correctly, but yet you have two exercises that are for the other body part. I saw that at first, but then realized you're doing 5x5 on the strength exercise. Makes sense now. Keep up the good work, you'll get there!

    Oh, I see now. On your back day your doing 2 chest exercises and 1 back and on your chest day you're doing 2 back exercises and 1 chest. I realize you're doing the 5x5 as you're main focus but you're still doing more work with the other 2 exercises IMO. Either way it works just fine I thought it was just labeled wrong. My bad, carry on
