No problem....one thing I don't agree with in the article is that it says that the deadlift is not a skill lift. I probably thought that back then but now I know that there are a lot of nuances to it, especially the sumo

(Sorta) Low bar squats
bar x 10
95 x 8
135 x 5
155 x 5
185 x 3
205 x 2
225 x 2
255 x 2
285 x 1
305 x 2
305 x 2 (2nd rep on this set was the best one)
305 x 2
250 x 3 (paused...may have came up too quickly on last rep)
Not going to go into details but think my problems with the bar not feeling tight consistently on my back was that it was sort of in between the position for a high bar and low bar and I was really fighting to keep it there. I just did the empty bar afterwards because all the sets felt crappy as far as bar position went and think I had it a smidge high. Anyway, next week will do 3 sets of 3 reps with 305, then deload/rest a week then come back with a new squat cycle. I think the thing I've been doing lately, doing a Bill Starr ramp up 5 x 5 for a few weeks then doing 3 x 3 with heaviest weight has promise.
Hang cleans
135 x 2
155 x 2
175 x 2
haven't pushed these lately since I've been power cleaning heavy on Tues and Thurs nights
Good morning
bar x 8
95 x 8
145 x 10
145 x 10
Finished off with barbell shrugs (little lighter than normal for Monday) and neck work. Too exhausted to do abs...was drenched with sweat because the squat rack area is hot as hell with little air circulating from rest of the gym

135 x 3
135 x 3
160 x 2

225 x 3
275 x 3 (75%) hook grip
315 x 2 (85%) hook grip
350 x 1 +4 (95%) strap
Little worried after I put it out there I was going for 5 reps with the 95% set. Especially since my back felt a bit tight since late this afternoon. But I think I had at least a rep or 2 in the tank.
Finished off with standing dumbbell presses, weighted neutral grip pull-ups and neck work. Solid workout....deload week for deadlifts next week, probably do what I did last time and forego deads and just do some cleans

This was originally going to be a deadlift only log but started to log other lifts. The others are basically linear periodization with set reps so those aren't hard to keep track of. But since I've been doing + sets on my last set, could get a bit confusing. So just doing my deadlift recap for first 4 cycle of 3/2/1

Monday, 5/18/15
Squats
bar x 10 (low bar to start)
95 x 5
135 x 5
155 x 5
185 x 3
205 x 3
225 x 3
255 x 2
285 x 1
305 x 2 (arghh)
310 x 1 (high bar for here on)
315 x 1
315 x 1
255 x 3 (paused)
225 x 3 (paused even longer)
Where to start...for one, my days low bar squatting are over. Just can't place the bar consistently right to the point where it doesn't feel like it's going to slip down my back. Maybe I need to lean forward more but with my back issues, I wasn't going to do it. Also, the external rotation of my shoulder is asking for trouble.
Around the 255 warm up set, I decided that this was my last week for low bar. The 285 x 1 warm up felt good. But the 305 just didn't feel solid and my belt was too tight and felt light headed so bailed at 2 reps (my plan for today was to do 3 sets of 3 reps with 305). Not the smartest move but for a couple of reasons, wasn't feeling even a 3 rep set so decided to go up to 310 and do it high bar. Felt good (I have been doing high bar on Tuesday nights so not like I've been neglecting it). So just went for 315 even though I vowed to not do singles for the time being. First single felt good so tried another. Not really too surprising because I did 3 x 3 with 290 in February right before I had to take an unscheduled week off.
So I'll probably take next Monday off or deload with lighter weights. Then the following week start a new squat cycle.
Hang cleans
135 x 2
155 x 2
175 x 2
Good morning
bar x 8
95 x 8
155 x 6
155 x 6
finished off with neck work...no shrugs or abs.....hot as hell in the squat rack area..sweated buckets

Thanks, I use to do them like they were an explosive deadlift/cheat upright row/cheat reverse curl but I came across this http://www.manlycurls.com/2011/09/ma...e-power-clean/ a while ago and it feels a lot better

There's just something about cleans that's always appealed to me. It's way more of a rush to get a successful heavy (for me) clean than any other lift. There's no grinding it out like you can a squat or deadlift, it's all over in less than second. Instant gratification....or not...the lift is over before you know it.

Thursday, 5/21/15
Power cleans
bar x 10
135 x 2
135 x 2
155 x 2
175 x 2
185 x 1
195 x 1
205 x 1
215 x 1 (Oh yeah!!!! Wasn't planning on it, was going to stop at 205 which didn't even go up all that great but pissed off about something at work today drove me)
Front squats
135 x 5
155 x 3
175 x 3
195 x 3
215 x 3
just a repeat of last week
Conventional deadlift
225 x 2
275 x 2
295 x 2
315 x 2
335 x 2
hook gripped just the 275...straps on others. No belt and wore shoes with a bit of a squishy heel plus hex plates (for cleans as well). Was just going to do some reps at 275 to sort of strengthen the start of the power clean but felt good so kept going. So much for deload (although honestly I think I started so low as far as my max goes, I feel week one of the cycle is a deload still)
No upper body work,finished up with neck work. I think I'll do cardio in the morning and sneak in some dumbbell presses and pullups.

Thursday 5/28/15
3/2/1 Cycle 5 week 1 "training max" is 388
Sumo deadlifts
135 x 5
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 3
255 x 3 (65%)
295 x 3 (75%)
330 x 3 (85%)
Still in deload mode so just did the prescribed reps. Had a crappy bent bar and used the dreaded IronGrip polygonal plates to make the deadlift as dreadful as possible to avoid the temptation of blasting out more reps on the last set
No power cleans and front squats beforehand to warm up with which made the deadlifts feel a bit weird. Just did some neck work and GTFO

Monday, June 8
Squats
bar x 10
95 x 5
135 x 5
155 x 5 (first work set)
185 x 5
205 x 5
225 x 5
255 x 5
Hang cleans
135 x 2
155 x 2
165 x 2
Good mornings
bar x 6
95 x 5
135 x 5
Finished off with barbell shrugs, neck work and some abs.
Been 3 weeks since my last real squat workout and close to 2 weeks since I've done any squat (light on the deload week). Came down with bronchitis...still got my Sunday morning workout that I don't log in. Anyway one good thing is that it came on before I started my new training cycle (although after my first week of the 3/2/1 deadlifts which I should have had 375 as my training max and not 388 and also need to decide if I am going to move ahead with week 2 of cycle 5). Squat goal is to get 3 sets of 3 reps with 315.

Thursday 6/11/15
Power cleans
bar x 8
135 x 2
135 x 2
155 x 2
175 x 2
185 x 1
195 x 1
205 x 1
Sumo deadlift 3/2/1 cycle 5 week 2....training max 380
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 3
265 x 2 (70%)
305 x 2 (80%)
340 x 2 +4 (90%)
Hook grip on 70% and 80% set, straps on 90%. Even though I took off last week, went ahead with week 2. Didn't calculate weight beforehand that's why I rounded up to 380 (from 378) because it made calculation in my head easier.
Conventional deadlift
275 x 2
295 x 2
315 x 1
335 x 1
345 x 1
Wanted to do 2 reps per set but conditioning an issue coming back from bronchitis. Was sucking serious wind after the 6 reps with 340 on sumo. I'm going to drop front squats for a few weeks and do conventional deads at a moderate intensity until end of cycle 6 then reevaluate what my priorities are
Finished off with neck work. May do overhead press and pullups in the morning along with something for my hamstrings...probably leg curls
