Starting powerbuilding for real and bringing a new log with it.

For all of my nonexistent fans the old log can still be found here: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...hp?t=175826751

Although until I go back to school my diet and sleep schedule will still be relatively random, as summer life tends to have that effect. Probably gonna be somewhere between cutting and maintenance for a few weeks then I will start to lean bulk

Enjoy!

Workout 1 woo
7/24/18

Started light on many of the exercises to get used to the new rep/set scheme. Very excited for this

Bench - 115x5, 135x3, 165x6x4 - Didn't want to push past 6 on the final set. Probably could have but why not play it safe to start

Pendlay - 65x5, 95x3, 135x6, 115x6x2, 115x7 - Got all the reps for 135 but I could tell my form would start breaking down

Squat - 135x5, 185x5, 195x4, 205x3, 215x2, 225x1 - This was so light. Didn't want to rush into it but definitely should have started heavier. Gonna go up 20 for next session.

Chin Up - 8, 7, 5 - Maybe I need more rest on this

Pec Fly - 135x8, 195x10, 195x10 - I know this isn't part of the program but I am in dire need of a little chest development

Ab Work

Workout 2
7/27/18

OHP - 45x8, 65x3, 85x6x3, 85x9 - This went up way easier than I expected

Deadlift - 135x5, 185x2, 265x5, 275x4, 285x3, 295x2, 305x0 - Started too heavy. The volume at this weight was insane

Lat Pulldown - 50x5, 100x6x3, 100x12 - Started too light. But happy to be back doing pulldowns

One Arm Row - 35x20, 35x12 - Felt this too much in the bicep

Workout 5
8/4/18

Incline Bench - 95x3, 115x6, 155x5, 135x8 - Failed on that 155 set. That was embarrassing. Ended up having to sit up off the bench with the bar in my lap.

Bench - 95x5, 155x8x4

BOR - 65x5, 135x8x4

Dip - 8, 8, 6

Chin Up - 5, 5, 4 - Usually I can knock out around 10 of these no problem. Maybe because I did dips right before?

T Bar Row - 45x8, 70x8x2

Tricep Pressdown - 40x10, 50x10x2

Face Pull - 40x12x3 - Finally found a position that doesn't make my shoulder pop
