    Anthony21's Training Log

    It's been a while since I actually logged my training here but I got the itch to start doing it again. I figured I'd share my training and journey for those interested in following along.

    Long story short, ever since the Corona virus I started piecing together my garage gym again. I'm still waiting on my Rep Fitness power rack to come in but that should be shipping out in the next week. I also have to order a pair of 25lb plates, and 2 pairs of 10lb plates. Once I have those items I'll be training mainly out of my garage gym.

    In the mean time my gym in my area opened on 05/28 so I went back there and will be training there until I have everything I need to train at home.

    Yesterday and today I trained and tested out where my maxes were for Bench, Squat, Deadlift, and OHP. I'm definitely still weak but I'm just focused on building going forward.

    The program that I am going to be running is Greg Nuckol's Average to Savage 2.0. I'll be specifically running the Liner Progression template to get things started. I feel it's a good way to get back into training and to build momentum. After that I plan to run his "Reps to Failure" template from the same program. The training will start on Monday 06/01.

    Nutrition wise I'm in a slow and steady fat loss phase to drop a little bit of body fat heading into the AZ Summer Season.

    So that's the game plan and I'm excited to get back into it and share my training with the forum. Thanks for those that stop by and show some interest in my training, I definitely appreciate it.

    So game plan change. After some thought and indecisiveness on my part, I decided to combine Candito's 6-week program with Greg Nuckol's 28 free programs, specifically the 2x bench set up.

    In the past Candito's 6 week program really benefited my Squat and Deadlift. When I ran it years ago it led to my first 500lb deadlift at a powerlifting meet. Granted that was years ago but I believe the program will still work for my, specifically with my squat and deadlift. Since the program doesn't do much for the bench I'm going to incorporate Nuckol's 2x Intermediate bench routine into the mix.

    Since the first couple of weeks on Candito's program has you hitting upper body 3 days out the week I may use that 3rd day as a rest day or maybe as just some upper body pump and fluff work. Well I'm off to the gym to hit some squats and deadlifts with some accessory work.

    25x10

    Dumbbell rear lateral
    20x12
    20x12
    20x12

    Summary: Today was day 1 using Greg Nuckol's 2x intermediate bench program. I decided to use the accessory work from Fierce 5 intermediate u/l because I like the balance of push to pull. Benching felt good but I can't wait to bench on my comp bench with the power bar that I have at home. The gym's bench that I go to is a thin, slippery pad, too low to the ground, and the barbells are garbage with garbage knurling. Overall though things felt good and strong.

    I hope everyone is having a good Wednesday. Today is a rest day for me and definitely needed. I'm pretty sore which is to be expected with a long lay off from the gym.

    Tomorrow will be my 2nd bench day for the week and it'll be a close grip bench day w/accessories which I'm looking forward to.

    Interesting combination of programs, I'm curious to see how it works out. Is the Nuckols also 6 weeks long? I've also seen C6W combined with Candito's advanced bench program, and heard of Calgary 8 Week bench combined with C6W legs.

    Congrats on the home gym.

    Greg's program is only 4 weeks long. I guess I have to figure out what to do for the last 2 weeks since Candito's is 6 weeks.

    Is it this program?: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/to...bench-program/

    Maybe just test bench max according to Candito's Week 5. Do some light benching after squats test on Day 1, then test on Day 2.

    It's this one https://liftvault.com/programs/power...s-spreadsheet/

    The program has me already testing for a 1RM on the 4th week I believe.

    Face pulls

    Summary: I haven't really focused much on any close grip benchwork so it was a nice change of pace to have my second bench day be centered around some cgbp work. The goal was to work up to a 12RM then hit the 12RM for 3 sets with reduced reps. My triceps were fried by the end of the cgbp work. Overall I felt good and was satisfied with how the cgbp work went.

    I received my Titan Fitness Safety Squat Bar V2 earlier today.

    The bar is a beefy beast. I can't wait to squat with it soon. My power rack is scheduled for delivery on 06/09.

    Just wait until the volume squats next week, mate. It's some kind of rite of passage.

    Oh I definitely remember that week when I ran this program before. It's going to be a tough week haha. Good news is my power rack is coming next Tuesday. All I need is a pair of 25s and 2 pairs of 10s to have what I need to start training at home.

    Rest day today and tomorrow. I'm definitely feeling the soreness coming from the lay off so resting sounds like a good idea.

    I hope you guys have a safe and good weekend.

    Well, today was supposed to be my bench day but I had a good reason as to why I didn't train.....



    I spent the entire later portion of the afternoon and entire evening putting together my power rack

    This thing is a beauty and an absolute unit. I can't believe I actually own it and will be lifting with it. Tomorrow morning will be my first bench and training session with it.

    Summary: This was my first session with my new power rack and damn was it awesome. This piece of equipment was well worth the 2 months wait. I messed up on the reps @ 155. It was supposed to be sets of 3 reps but I thought it was 5, oh well. It felt great benching on my comp bench, with my PowerBar, and with my rack. Using the SSB for JM press has now become my favorite tricep movement that'll be sticking around permanently.

    Summary: It sucks I couldn't squat in my new rack today. I still need to get a pair of 25lb plates and 2 pairs of 10lb plates. These seem to be the hardest to come by for some stupid reason . Until I get these I'll be still going to the gym up the street from me.

    Squat felt strong today. 225x10 was easy and definitely felt nice and strong.

    The back off squats felt good and was a good conditioning type of tool since they were done emom style.

    Bodyweight 176.2

    Close Grip Bench Press
    160x10 10RM
    160x8 8-10 reps
    160x8
    160x6 Triceps gave out.

    Band pull aparts
    0x20
    0x20
    0x20
    0x20

    Hammer grip pull ups
    0x10
    0x10
    0x6

    Barbell Row
    135x10
    135x10
    135x10

    Summary: Worked up to a 10RM on close grip bench. Things felt good and I worked up to 160 for 10. It definitely felt like a 10RM and would rate that set an RPE 10. Back off sets felt good but by the time I got to my 4 set my triceps just gave out. I was supposed to hit 8-10 reps with my 10RM weight but fell short by 3 reps. This just shows me that I need to bring my triceps strength up.

    A couple things added to the garage gym. I finally found some change plates that I needed in order to train primarily at home now. A guy who does custom paint work on plates is dropping these plates off to me this morning. On top of the change plate, I also scored a pair of 45 Ivank OM plates. I'm pretty stoked for the Ivankos as these are my first Ivanko plates and they're f'n gorgeous.





    The other piece of equipment I added was the Spud Inc. tricep/lat pulley attachment.

    Summary: Week 3 was supposed to start on Monday but I couldn't wait to get my first session in with my squat rack. I decided to squat without my Adipowers and just went barefooted. I felt good and strong squatting barefooted that I'll be sticking with it going forward. I was surprised cause for years I've been squatting in my Adipowers I figured I lost some mobility in my ankles to squat flat/barefooted.

    Deadlifts felt heavy as hell! Sets called for 3-6 reps. First set I was able to get 6 reps but that sh!t took a lot out of me. It's been a while since I deadlifted "heavy" and for reps. It was a battle to get 6 reps. Second set I just had 3 reps in me and called it at that point. Overall I definitely have room to continue to build and look forward to it.

    Probably you're still fatigued from all those squats last week. Go a bit easy on the upper days this week so that the fatigue can dissipate, and follow the leg programming as written.
