Friday, I was burned out big time! Work was stressfull so I took off.
Saturday Bench Buckeye 425 1x120x15 1x220x10 1x276x8-easy set 1x306x6-again felt nice and easy feeling strong today 1x340x4-this one was also nice and easy 1x361x3-a little slow but I got all 3 reps on my own 1x383x2-last time I did this I missed both reps. This time I got the first one, but needed a little tap on the second rep. 1x392 1/2 x1 needed a little tap. I got it about a 1/4 of the way up and then it started coming down. A little tap and it went up. 1x340x4
Flat dumbell press 1x140x5 1x120x6
Incline dumbell press 2x100x12
delt work front dumbell raise 2x50x6 side laterals 2x50x6
felt good. Volume is going up and I feel good about it. Starting to increase my rest periods a little, particuliarly in between exercises. Not so much between sets, I am probably waiting 2-3 minutes on heavy work sets and 1 minute on the dumbell work.
I feel strong today. Meet is on Saturday and I feel confident I can get that 425!

Two great workouts! Your deads are just INSANE!!!! #arockon6ha# At least you got the weight up 3/4 of the way, in NO TIME you will pull it all the way up! Don't you just love the days when you walk away and feel strong?/!
Are you doing the entire meet this Sat?

I have been taking a week off to rest up from the meet. My left elbow is in the healing process.
I may see a specialist.

Best thing you could do, Steve, as far as the rest and having it checked. Hope the healing progress is speedy. Talk soon, buddy.

After a 2 week layoff (basically) I finally got my lazy butt back in the gym Bench Day ME Buckeye 405 1x120x20 1x220x12 1x263x8 1x295x6 1x325x4 1x345x3 1x365x2 1x372x1 1x320x4 Left elbow somewhat nagging but it didn't stop me from finishing the routine. although 365 and 372 went very slow!
Flat dumbell press 1x100x10 1x120x5
Dips 2xbdywghtx6
Now my left elbow started to hurt. Thats ok I need to move it around to get it loose.
You know what they say, if the joints are hurtin then you are not going heavy enough! LOL

I picked this set up from wathcing Jeremy hoornstra. Man this was a challenge and I love how it felt. I was a little pissed I couldn't get it for 20!)
I will be sticking with the Buckeye 415 until I get the last few sets with no problem.

thanks Tim, you and Eric inspired me!
11/6/07 Deadlift day (this is a version of the coan-phillipii routine)
Deads 1x120x10 1x220x10 1x490x2 8x390x3 (speed work) The first 3 sets felt heavy, then as if something came over me the next 2 sets were easy and the weight felt light. But the last 2 sets were real grinders and my hams were begging for mercy!
Stiff legged deads 3x220x6 (ugh)
Bent rows 3x220x6
now time to rest. ahhhh sleep for the weary!
