    Thumbs up BTBAM - Bench, Clean, and Squat - PROFIT

    What's up fellow lifters,

    I've finally decided to log my progress online with a community of other lifters to receive constructive criticism, feedback, and other various input on my lifting and hopefully progress better due to this feedback.

    A little background:

    Been lifting seriously since the around half way into my senior year of high school - roughly 2.5 years. Body weight around then was 150-155 lbs. Fooled around with various programs and lifting experiences until I found basic ideas of what works well for me, and I have been sticking to those principles for the past year and a half with great results.

    My goals are to become a flexible, functionally strong and athletic person with great lifts comparable to my bodyweight. Overall health and athletic function are my main goals.

    My personal best lifts (in lbs) as of August 2010 at a body weight of ~180 are:
    Bench: 305
    Olympic Squat: 435
    Conventional DL: 455

    Clean: 315 @ 178 lbs in September 2010



    My youtube channel with lifting videos of me: http://www.youtube.com/user/olbaid420?feature=mhum

    Will begin this log starting tomorrow.

    Tuesday

    I usually do heavy cleans on Tuesday but my elbow was bothering me and I didn't want it to flare up (does this sometimes and puts me out for a couple weeks), so I opted out on the cleans and did some heavy shrugs instead.

    BB Rows:
    135 x 15
    185 x 8
    205 x 6
    225 x 6
    235 x 4
    185 x 8

    Pull-ups (wide grip, mid, inner):
    BW x 15, 15, 15

    Shrugs:
    225 x 15
    315 x 15
    365 x 15
    405 x 15

    DB Hammer Curls:
    50s, 4 x 6

    Was in and out relatively quick. Total gym time around 1 hour.

    Oh, and I guess I should mentioned that I just started a strict diet (for the first time). I am eating a bit over maintenance calories with the aim of building primarily strength and a bit a mass, and cleaning up some excess body fat that I have accumulated from eating a bit lax as of late.

    Total calories are ~3200

    1st Meal, Breakfast: 1 Cup Oats, 1 cup of strawberries, 1 banana, and 16 oz of milk w/ protein

    2nd Meal: 8oz Chicken, 1 cup Broccoli, 1 cup Brown Rice, 1 oz Almonds

    3rd Meal (PRE WORKOUT): 4 oz Chicken, 1/4 cup Brown Rice, 1 Banana

    4th Meal (POST WORKOUT): 1 Banana, Honey, 16 oz Milk, Protein

    5th Meal: 8 oz Chicken, 1 cup Broccoli, 1 cup Brown Rice, 1 oz Almonds

    6th Meal: 1 Banana, 16 oz Milk

    I think you are right, haha.

    Weighed in at 174.6 this morning (lightest I've been since July). Think its mostly water weight from cutting large amounts of sodium out of my diet and getting an increase in fiber and water intake.

    Anyways, today:

    Wednesday - Squats, Squats, Squats.

    Stretch and warm-up blah blah blah.

    Olympic Squat:
    Bar x 20
    135 x 10
    225 x 5
    275 x 5
    315 x 5
    365 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 4

    Went for 5x5 with 365 - first high volume heavy day in a bit. Was feeling good so I went for it. Failed last rep, last set. Still very satisfied - PR'd here weighing ~4 lbs less than normal. Felt good after third set of 5, but started feeling very drained after 4th set and particularly the 5th set after failure. Last meal was at 3 PM, more than 3 hours before my first work set on squats.

    tl; dr

    Gym Time - ~1 hour

    Can't the russian squat routine be used for bench as well?

    yes

    Tuesday: Clean Deads and Heavy Rows.

    Elbow still bothering me, so I decided to opt out of any cleans. I did, however, do a couple heavy hang cleans. Went like this:

    Clean Deadlifts:
    135 x 5
    225 x 4 (first rep hang power clean)
    275 x 3 (first rep hang power clean)
    295 x 3 (first rep hang power clean)
    315 x 3 (first rep hang clean)
    335 x 3

    Barbell Rows:
    135 x 10
    185 x 8
    205 x 8
    225 x 8
    235 x 8 (little bit of jerking here, but still fairly strict)
    185 x 8 (very strict)

    Pull-up complex (wide grip, mid, inner):
    BW - 3 x 15

    DB Hammer Curls:
    50s - 4 x 8

    Upped the intensity on this one, I'm feeling reaaaal good with this new diet, excellent energy levels and strength/ endurance continually increasing. Finished in a bit over 1 hour.

    Good job brah, good to see other people power cleaning. It really is a great exercise.

    I catch it between a bit above parallel and 45* . Pretty sure my full clean could be a bit higher but my technique has been off lately

    haha dude I dunno, I'm sure my back squat is close to 425 on a good day, my max strength always exceeds my rep strength with squats. But still - really close. It's always been that way - at least within 30 lbs of my back squat - since I started squatting alot.

    Yes, super excited.

    edit: I also weighed close to 5 lbs less on my front squat PR day, and was coming back from a deload.
