Got Wood? Woody's Lifting Journal

[Woody-5]

Awesome work Woodman. Mirin those squats big time.

Thanks Jugg! 335 x 3+ for next week's top set! 335x4 is my PR, so 5 would be awesome

[HunterMC6]

Nice work on squats Woody! looked like they started getting a little tough at the end. That's an interesting angle you film from there I haven't seen that from any one else.

[LegosInMyEgos]

Order of importance you *******.

Calves are never done second.

Chin ups and leg curls are clearly the 2nd and 3rd exercise

Solid squatting Wood and good to see DJ is back in the gym

Thanks mate! Gotta set the camera wherever there's enough room to get a full shot so that's where it ends up lol

Lol Normally I would agree, but that would require unloading the bar from squats, moving it out of the rack, doing chins, then replace the bar, reload it etc. Seemed quicker just to take the few minutes to do calf raises second. U mad I'll do it again next week?

Thanks big fella!
DJ has been hammering on 5/3/1 and loving it

Saturday 11.10.12- Squat Day


Tough session today, but I killed it. First time squatting heavy in 2 weeks due to last week's deload. On top of that, 5/3/1 had me scheduled to match my 5RM on the final set.
Let's just say I was a bit apprehensive coming into this workout. I pounded 2 cups of coffee and a preworkout, so I was so stimmed up by the time I got under the bar I could care less haha

Squat
45 x 10
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 2
250 x 1
275 x 5
295 x 5
315 x 5 (matches 5RM)
Felt tougher than they look on video, but a lot of that is probably due to the layoff. next week's triples will be where I shine!

Calf Raises
225 x 15
275 x 10
275 x 10
275 x 10

Leg Curls
85 x 10
85 x 10
85 x 7
85 x 4
90 sec or less rest. Completely ran out of steam on the last two sets

Chin ups
BW x 10
BW x 10
BW x 10

Kneeling Ab Wheel
x10
x10
x10
haven't done ab wheel in awhile- the standing reps were bothering my shoulders and forearms so I took a break. Kneeling reps didn't bother today, and they gave me a killer burn in the abs

Poundstone Curls
45 x 32
biceps were already pumped from the chins so these were brutal

Some squats from our fallen bro, the late DerekJeter.
He's coming off a partial hamstring tear, but shows no mercy on this set of 225

In before Woody gets banned for calling the mods dicks.

Is he banned for good? What did he get banned for anyway?

[TKD]

Some awesome squatting there Woody!! You see where, after a few reps, your upper body is pulled forward a bit at times? If you try to bring your elbows forward a bit so they are more under the bar instead of pointing backward then you will get a better back position as well as better bar path. Just sayin' is all



Congratz on that 500 pull too my man!!!!!!!

[MatTheCur]

Supah deepz on the 3rd rep of 295 ... Awesome stuff Wood!

Glad I'm not the only one who gets that red and makes odd faces while squatting! <3

Lol thanks mate- gotta do the Popeye face when you're squatting or else you're not going heavy enough

[BabyOilBrah]

Awesome top set of squats wood man, and I know that feel about hitting poundstones after bicep work, rough.

Monday 11/12/12- Macenko's Week 2A

Kickass start to the week right here! Macenko's stepped it up a gear and tossed in some 85% work and an AMRAP set


Bench
45 x 10
135 x 5
175 x 8
220 x 6
230 x 5
245 x 4
245 x 4
245 x 4
230 x 8 Rep PR
Nice reps everywhere. Could have squeezed out 1-2 more on the AMRAP set, but I didn't want to kill myself already. Best to leave a few in the tank. I checked my notes from my first macenko's run 2 years ago and I hit 9 reps on the first AMRAP set, so I'm right in line with that (except the working weight is way higher now)

Seated Row
90 x 10
160 x 10
160 x 10
160 x 10
real slow, felt awesome. Still easy, bump 5 more next week

One Leg Calf Raises
x25
x25
x25

Dips
BW x 10
BW x 10
BW x 10
these always kill my collarbones, but I'm gonna give them a shot again. Gonna keep them BW only for now and see how it goes

Crossovers with resistance bands
x12
x12
x12
such a sick pump in the chest- love this as a finisher

[moshvr]

lol poundstones are when you take the 45lb bar and rep it as many times as you can

And look like a fool in the gym doing them and struggling (have done ... f*cking hard stuff)

Haha I tried those last night. I don't have an olympic bar at home, so I did them with a standard bar and 13 lbs plus spin lock collars on each side, came out to 46 lbs total. After 10 reps I was like wow this sucks. After 20 reps I said fukc that lol.

Nice benching man, way to step it up on that AMRAP set.

lol poundstones are tough, no doubt. I hit 40 reps once when I was fresh, but if I do any chins, rows etc beforehand, 30 is a struggle

[dopamine72]

Need to try poundstone curls still. Nice benching Wood brah

probably being a douchebag

Thanks big guy! Need to get my bench on that 315 time!
poundstones are mint. I want to hit them 1-2x a week then blast some heavy BB curls on back day. I was going to pound some out today, but the tendons were feeling a little irritated so I didn't bother.

[HunterMC6]

Nice work on those bench reps Woody I am interested to see where this programs takes you. What is your goal? It's probably posted some where but I am way to lazy to find it.

[KenshinH]

Excellent Macenko sets bro! You clearly stopped short on the AMRAP set

[jeezyreezy]

The gains continue... awesome chest work wood brah
