    Altitude. nwskier's 2011 lifting journal

    NWskier's Altitude with Attitude 2011 Lifting, Skiing, and Conditioning Journal

    now that I've elevated my strength and conditioning, it's time to put in some Altitude with Attitude!
    recent progress can be tracked in my 2010 eLEVATION journal.
    http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=121378251

    Speaking of altitude, I lift at 6300 feet.

    About me?
    First off, I'm addicted to skiing. It's pretty much my life and what I live for.
    But a good powder day is right up there with lifting heavy weights, my other passion.
    Motivation comes easy to me. I'm a competitive person and I enjoy pushing my limits.

    So.... where do we start? With winter in full swing, my efforts remain focused on mostly conditioning and upper body.
    I am constantly skiing/hiking (at minimum 4 days per week) from November through April. So the legs get a good thrashing.
    I will still lift legs occasionally but I judge their needs based on instinctual training.

    Here is the starting split- I will continue to adapt and adjust as needed

    Initial Split

    1. Chest/Arms (Power)
    2. Back/Traps (Power)
    3. Legs* (Hyper) / Delts (Power) / Core
    4. Chest/Back (Hyper)
    5. Legs* (Power) / Core
    6. Delts/Arms/Traps (Hyper)

    *Leg days may be adjusted as needed due the amount of training they receive
    from skiing/hiking that happens just about every other day during winter season


    OFF Days will be added as necessary (every 2 or 3 days)
    OFF days may still include skiing or other cardio

    Power Days: Working Sets of 3-7 rep range
    Hyper Days: Working Sets of 8-15 rep range

    There will be a few ‘focus’ compound exercises that will be targeted for each session.
    I will mix in a variety of accessory lifts that will change periodically.

    I also plan on mixing up the order of exercises every couple of weeks.


    Conditioning:
    Mornings (each week): 2 to 3 hike/ski combos
    *these consist of 45-60 minutes intense hiking followed by a 10 min ski down
    2 conditioning sessions (TBD)
    Downhill Skiing (both Sat/Sun every week plus a couple 1 hr work breaks during the week)
    I would like to mix in some swim sessions but those will be scattered due to time commitments

    Supplements
    Blue Growth (January 14 through February 14)
    Core ZAP preworkout
    Xtend intraworkout
    Beta Alanine (Peak Beta from MN)
    Multi
    Protein post workout


    Goals
    Increase all lifts both strength and muscular endurance
    Increase overall work capacity
    Achieve 8% bodyfat at 175lb-180lb for summer

    I'll get some starting stats and info up later.

    Before I get started, I want to thank everyone from my previous journals for all their support and motivation.
    I am extremely excited to see how far I can push my fitness level and physique this year! I hope my progress, intensity and dedication will inspire others to push their limits.
    As many know, I'm always up for some healthy competition!

    Day 1 starts tomorrow morning before work with 2,000 feet of hiking & skiing,
    followed by a lifting session after work. Time to officially get things going!

    1st day, new journal!

    Wednesday, January 20: Chest/Arms - Heavy


    Went ahead w/ short rest on this push day as I want to get on schedule b4 the weekend

    BB Flat Bench
    225x5
    265x5
    295x3 WTF?
    305x2
    310x1
    275x4 WTF?
    245x9 Better
    255x5

    I seem to be struggling more with low/heavy reps than high weight volume
    Going to change my heavy bench approach to either 5x5 or 4x4 starting w/ 275 or 285 next power sesh
    Wasn't happy w/ the heavy reps today so decided to punish myself, lol with some volume
    Had enough for more reps on the last 245/255 sets but no spot so stopped shy of failure

    BB Incline Bench
    225x5
    245x5
    245x5
    225x5

    ^^^^^^^ Superset with
    Hanging Leg Raises (straight leg)
    20
    20
    20
    15

    No spot for the incline so kept it civil after the flat bench effort

    BB Curls
    115x5
    135x4
    145x3
    155x1 (epic fail on rep 2- couldn't even cheat curl it, haha)
    135x6
    115x6

    Floor Skulls
    135x5
    145x3
    135x5
    125x5

    OH DB Ext
    100x7 -> 75x7 -> 50x7 -> 25x7

    Tricep Rope Pushdowns
    2 sets of 10, (130lbs?)


    Comments:
    Still struggling on the heavy flat bench - Kopdog kicked ass today so I gotta step up my game. And Wynnz is right on my tail there. And I know Piero wants a piece of the bench war too, haha. Should make for some motivating sessions

    Took a couple progress pics tonight - will continue to update these and stats









    and here's my mountain shot of the day

    I didn't realize each year got a new mountain term until now, sweet. Seems like a solid split Tim, and a good workout today. Smart idea on the bench, when the PRs stop going up, its good to step off of the weight and not worry about it. thats whats im trying with presses right now. Shoulders are looking jacked in that pic, and definitely need more epic mountain shots

    Damn Tim you are looking exceptionally lean in those pics. I think you have pinpointed the issue on bench also (not that there is an issue because those numbers are sick) but your endurance stands out above your strength level atm. I think a 4x4 would be prime right now, would you use a set weight for all 4 sets?

    On the other hand, look at the progress on the arm strength

    Hopefully changing the bench rep scheme works out for you, still pushing some solid weight. Big time curls there too, over a place = alpha. Still looking really lean in the update photos too!

    Damn Tim! Awesome job on curling and straight leg raises for abs! I notice that you do a lot more sets than I ever have on bench...I've always just done the typical 3 sets of 10's and 5's on heavy days...Do you think doing more sets has helped you in the past for endurance and strength?

    I also admire the sets of 20 on the straight leg raises for abs! I always just did 10-15 but looks like I'm gonna have to step my game up my man!

    Keep up the hard work bro!

Shoulders are looking jacked in that pic, and definitely need more epic mountain shots
    ha! glad someone figurd out the theming

    definitely feel like I'm doing the right approach with bench. sometimes you just gotta tweak it. thanks on the delts. and always more mountain shots!

    thanks for the sub!
    Actually- I just started back ON Blue Growth
    Typically notice my sleep is outstanding, my muscles are more full, strength goes up and I seem to be more vascular. All win in my book!

    thanks buddy! yeah i'm thinking of starting 4x4 with 285? what do you think?
    strength endurance definitely seems up, I wanna knock back that 275x10 soon on my hyper day. Closing in on consistant 7-8's.

    yeah i'm confident it will work. toughest part for me on heavy bench days is finding a spotter. curls are feeling strong again. thanks dude

    thanks bro! glad to have you on board. I think we'll really be able to motivate each other through the journals. Your workouts are looking really solid too.

    as for chest and other compound lifts, I think you always gotta mix things up with volume and reps. My body typically responds well to high volume - those extra sets yesterday weren't planned. I was so frustrated with the low rep effort I decided to punish my chest with some extra work, ha! Felt good afterwards.

    bring on the challenges too, I thrive off some solid motivation from everyone's journals. I think we all (speaking to the ppl that follow my journal) do a good job of motivating and pushing each other.

    Friday, January 21st: Back/Traps (heavy)

    I'm gonna regret this workout tomorrow on the slopes!
    Intensity was up, felt really solid

    BB Yates Rows
    225x5wu

    315x5
    275x5

    Starting to rotate in a few sumos. Don't expect any huge #s here.
    Past lower back problems will keep these on a very slow ramp up

    Easing back into these

    45x7
    45x7
    45x7

    BB Pendlay Rows
    185x8
    135x8

    Did these as a sort of 'cool down' for the workout

    Finisher Complex
    1 minute jump rope
    1 minute max roman chair knee raises
    1 minute jump rope
    1 minute max stabilty ball crunches
    1 minute jump rope
    (all continuous w/o rest)

    Wow bro you really look lean & ripped. What do you think is the key to staying so lean and strong? Does it just stem from all the skiing you do or are you real strict with your diet? I'm stuck around 200lbs and would really like to get down to 190 while maintaining slightly increasing my strength. As for the bench, it's tough to make a judgment off one or two sessions. I've had times where a week or two went by with crappy bench sessions and then third week I'd get a sic pump and just kill it. I like the idea of 5x5 and I've used that myself to break through a plateau or like you said maybe changing the rep scheme for how you move up to the heavy sets. Your incline bb, especially for having no spotter, is just friggin insane!

    I like how your CG pulldown is life fitness as well so we are matching. Rows & shrugs looking strong as fck Tim. Going to nail some 3 plate rows next time? Pendlays at the end for a cooldown is pretty rough too, better you than me.

    thanks man. I try not to eat any carbs after 6pm and usually start the day out with a glass of water before eating in the morning. I'm not strict enough on my diet but generally I eat my clean carbs in the morning and then phase them out over the day. funny thing is I don't feel lean enough yet- got a spare tire to lose, lol

    Oh 3 plates is definitely going down again soon. I'm dropping a little weight at the moment so I can focus on my form and then i'm going to ramp back up. big things coming, just wait

    ha! i'll be sure to grab a pic next time so you can compare. Pendlays were a solid finisher. Might keep those in that last spot... but I do like going heavy on them too. Mixing them up with weight/reps is key for me.

    it'll definitely be fun when we can get in a session and use the exact same lat pulldown machine!

    thanks tyler! the chins were actually on the lighter. watch out for 3 plate chins in the next few months. +115 is already in rotation!
