- 1 RM -

06/20/2021
&
06/18/2021

- Intro:

Hello there, last Power Building training I almost
got hurt, I felt my right quadriceps hurting in leg
extension, the weights on this machine it's not
much, but I think this happened, because this
month I reached my 1 RM in squat two times,
so after that, researching, I've found an information
from a Power Lifter, andhis advices was:
You will get you 1 RM maximum 3 times on a
year, more than that you are at risk of injury.
...If this information is 100% correct, I don't
know, but I can say putting in practice getting
1 RM always as possible, to me wasn't a good idea.

Power building - A:
1) (ML) Bench Press + Leg extension + Rear delts
2) (ML) Squat + Peck Deck + Skull crusher
3) Shoulder Press + Triceps push down + Fore arms
4) Lateral raise + ABS + Fore arms

Main lifts:
Bench Press
Warm up (not more included as a valid set):
10 x 75kg

1: 8 x 83kg
2: 8 x 89kg
3: 5 x 95kg
4: 5 x 99kg
5: 3 x 101kg
6: 2 x 105kg

Squat

I Arrived in Squat, with my quadriceps, already
injured.

1: 8 x 95kg
2: 8 x 111kg
3: 5 x 125kg
4: 4 x 135kg
5: 5 x 125kg (I thought i'd better turn back to 125kg and do
it again but with a better form, add moreweights would probably
induce me to go for my1 RM again)

06/20/2021

Running workout:
1 hour.
Feeling a little better to run, no pain in the
hamstring and lower back, step by step I'm
returning to sprint again.

Boxing:
30 minutes shadow boxing.
30 minutes punching bag.
I could see my punches a few more hard (COOL)

- Closure:

From now on, I will go for my 1 RM less times,
because another thing that the power lifter
said was, when you build a house you don't
keep testing the limits of only one
wooden beam, otherwise you will never build
a house, but what you do is dedicate more time
building instead testing the units, and in trainings for power
is the same thing, you work near of your 1 RM to reach this
only in a competition or a date far from competitions.

- New Routine -

02/07/2022

- Intro:

Hello everyone.
Finally I made my move to downtown.
I'm still organizing my new home, and it get a lot of work,
but I'm happy.
Well, then, now living not so far from good boxing gyms,
this means I'll share boxing training too.

Going to the point, my training routine will be this.

- Training:

Power Lifting:
Resting between sets, >3 minutes
As weeks goes on, percentage of Main lifts move up 5%

week 1:
70%, 65% and 60%

week 2:
75%, 70% and 65%

week 3:
80%, 75% and 70%

week 4:
85%, 80% and 75%



A - Dead lift day:
1) 70%, 65% and 60% (AMRAP) - Dead Lift (1rm = 144kg)
* Before moving downtown, with no breaks on my
training routine, I remember dead lifting somewhere
around 154kg, but after moving downtown, going to
a new gym, it seems like I've two steps behind, so
based om what I was feeling of my performance,
I moved down my 1rm to 144kg, and appears this is
working.

2) 10 x 8 (rpe 8) - Pendlay row

3) 6 x 8 (rpe 6) - Kroc row



B - Bench press day:
1) 70%, 65% and 60% (AMRAP) - Bench press (1rm = 104kg)
* Downgraded too

2) 6 x 8 (rpe 8) - Incline bench press

3) 6 x 6 (55%) - Close grip bench press

4) 8 x 6 (rpe 5) - Skull crusher



C - Squat day:
1) 70%, 65% and 60% (AMRAP) - Squat (1rm = 144kg)
* Downgraded too

2) 5 x 5 (55%) - Paused squat (pauses at bottom = 3s)

3) 8 x 5 (55%) - Dead lift (1rm = 144kg)



Boxing:
If possible, 6x/week

- Goals:

Putting all this on practice, I feel and saw my performance
on both downgrading, maybe training volume are bigger
than I can handle, or maybe it's because these days I have
been sick often.
I think I can lower power lifting training volume,
(because priority now is boxing) and see what happens.
My actual goal is manage well my training routine and evolve
in endurance, seeing my performance in last sparring, I'm out of gas.

- Closure:

From now on I will share my experience with boxing too, so if you like
boxing, welcome.





See you all next time, and I'm just another asian trying
