Nice work man. California's Strongest Man looks like a fun contest. I just did my first one and I'm looking forward to Nationals.
Keep it up I'm looking forward to following along.

Thurs, ME lower, DE upper
Since I have no discipline or self control, I decided to go heavy today.
Box squats with heavy band tension, 1 inch below parallel box. Ugh even the bar felt heavy like this.
135x2
225x1
315x1
405x1
455x1
495x1 Almost killed me. Had a huge headache after this lift. Prob 700-750 at top. No belt and back didn't hurt one but doing these. I think it was the weird position of doing front squats to a box that screwed me up. That and all the speed lockouts. Lockouts are suicide for my low back.
Step ups to highest box, 4 holes.
135x5 for 2 sets.
Speed bench with heavy bands at top. Triples with 95, 115, 135, 155, and 4 or 5 sets of 185x3.
Messed around outside with the 800lb tire, flipped it 2 or 3 times to show the high school kids how to do it who were watching. One of the strong kids managed to flip it after some coaching, which was awesome.
Pulled out the log for them too. One of them did 170, which is pretty good first time ever touching a 12" log as being in high school.
Roman chair ham raises
10 reps
3 reps, felt like L ham was going to rip off. What an exercise!
Wanted to finish with heavy reverse hypers but I'm honestly afraid my hams might blow off. I might just make a separate training day for heavy hypers since they take so much out of me. Still might do them in a couple hours...
(a couple hours later) Of course I did the RHs.
180x10
270x10
360x12 Felt pinching in L from hip on last couple reps. Time to rest for a week and recover. Next time, Zerchers with bands...Last edited by SonOfDoom; 03-19-2009 at 08:12 PM.

Mon
Zercher squats, no bands. Starting from top. Never done these before.
140x3
230x2
320x1
410x1
460x1 Popped up
500x0 Not sure what happened here but I was prob good for 475 or 480 and prob blew my load on 460. These feel super hard at bottom of rep but if i get them moving they pop right up. Since I've never done these, I should get better at them really fast. Nick B does 590x3 so that's a mark to shoot for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt9iRKX6Kgg
Platz leg extensions
3 sets of 30, ascending weight. Blew up quads.
Just like these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8PWcGbAvMwLast edited by SonOfDoom; 03-23-2009 at 12:32 PM.

Sun, Upper body
Prob shouldn't have went in today but did anyway. Trained really heavy upper on Tue so I don't know why I thought I would feel great 5 days later. Usually takes at least a week or more to recover from my upper body stuff.
Seated military press.
Barx30
140x10 Felt like crap, which is a bad sign.
190x1
230x1 Got out of groove
230x1 Felt fine
250x1 slowed down but i popped it up
280x0 Just felt like sh!t today
260x1
Chest supported rows
1 plate x 20
3 plates x 20
4 plates and a 25 x 20 reps. Felt a little pinch in R lat that I've felt the last couple lat workouts. No pulldowns today, didn't feel like ripping my lat off.
Dumbbell flat bench
80s x 10
120s x 12 Missed 13th rep
Dumbbell upright rows
30s x 10
50s x 10
70s x 10
75s x 10 Pretty hard
Had to go outside for a few minutes to get a breath of fresh air. Gym windows were all closed and I didn't feel like I could get any oxygen. Kinda lightheaded.
V-handle pressdowns.
1/3 stack x 10
Half stack x 10 Was kinda hard.
2/3 stack, did 1 rep and it felt like crap so I was done.
Wasn't feeling awesome today but I had a hard ass long day yesterday and am a little overtrained in the upper body.I love you Jesse Marunde

Lower back, hamstrings, and abs
Reverse hyperextensions, roller model.
90x15
180x10
270x10
410x5 then plates fell off
410x8
410x5
Not really full reps but really wanted to see how I could manage with a heavier weight than I've ever done on these since I can muscle out 12 reps with 360. Loaded 4 45s a side and an extra 25 on each side with duct tape holding them on. I can tape on a pair of 35s next time which would give me 430.. way heavier than most people would ever go on these, but I want to be stronger than "most people"
GHRs.
Hooked feet under my heavy couch and did 3 sets of 3. Cannot do a full rep yet so I would do the eccentric then push myself back up with my hands and try to fight the rep back up.
Ab wheel
4 sets. Last 2 sets I would go down on one side or the other which really blasted my obliques.
No work for the quads today, knees feeling weird and I was able to do all my training at home.
Felt strong on the hypers and GHRs today. As long as I don't wreck my lower back in a workout, I think I recover alot quicker with lower body training than I do with upper body. I had 5 days rest between 2 heavy upper body sessions and felt like crap but the 5 day rest for lower body seemed to be enough. I have made great progress with upper body work doing it once every 2 weeks! Was hitting a PR every time. Maybe that's what I have to do. With strongman it's 90% leg drive for my pressing but the triceps still have to be strong.Last edited by SonOfDoom; 03-30-2009 at 02:56 PM.

Supplementary training for weak areas and health
Thur, Hams, tris, and hip tractioning
Warm up with 2x10 on Roman chair extensions
Poor man's GHRs
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es4YL...eature=related
3 sets of 5 reps with assistance
Roman chairs, 2x15 bodyweight only

40 x 5
60 x 3

140x10
270x10
430x10. Could fit 4 45s and a 35 on there with duct tape to hold the plates on there. Hard as hell.Last edited by SonOfDoom; 04-02-2009 at 05:05 PM.

Bar lunges
130x5 each leg
180x5 "
220x5 (PR)

270x3 each leg, 30 sec break, then 2 more each leg to make 5 each side. (HUGE PR). Not bad putting 70 lbs and 2 extra reps on this exercise in 3 months. Was pretty wiped out after these. Wanted to barf, they turned my stomach. A big challenge to keep bar level with ground during each rep. Slight L knee irritation.

Wed
Max effort upper
Banded strict press with parallel handle bar. Not sure of weight, I'll assume 45.
45x30
Add bands
95x1
135x1 Kinda hard already with the bands
155x1 Pretty much a max press.
Overhead barbell triceps
135x10
205x8 PR Left elbow bugging me a little bit still. Whole upper body feeling kind of ripped up. Time for a few days off blasting it.
185x6 This set was crap, so I stripped to 135 and made up the reps from the last 2 sets (wanted 10 reps on both)
135x6 Triceps and upper body burning
Low pulley rows, 1 arm
1/3 stack x 10 each arm
1/2 stack x 10 each arm R hand opening up a bit...
Almost full stack x 6 each arm. Used straps, SUPER heavy. Felt like shoulders were gonna rip out of the sockets. Didn't want to do another set so I did 6 or 7 pullups to finish off.
Grip hangs on 2" thick bar
Counted time in my head.
About 20 seconds with a 45 hanging from waist
About 30-40 secs bodyweight only. Grip was BUSTED after this.Last edited by SonOfDoom; 05-06-2009 at 06:47 PM.

Fri
Speed front box squats with heavy band tension
135x2
185x2
225x2
245x2
255x2 for 3 sets
245x2
225x2 for 2 sets. Wasn't paying attention when I unracked it the first time and the band tension literally rammed me down to the box. L knee bothering me some. Wasn't till afterwards that I had one of the safety pins that hold the bands one notch higher than the other, so there was an imbalance of weight. Real smart.
Tried to do some barbell lunges but 135 and 225 felt like total crap and L knee was bugging me, so I stopped. Was about to just call it a day but decided to do some leg extensions to at least burn out the quads and get some productive work in, assuming it didn't irritate my knee.
Leg extensions
1/3 stack x 20
2/3 stack x 20
Full stack x 30. That was fun. No knee pain.
Feel out of energy. First day without my no-xplode pre-workout drink which always helps get me going, but since I'm getting some joint pain in more than one area and just not feeling right, I might need an extra couple days rest.I love you Jesse Marunde
