Good stuff, I love to train heavy also. I know what you mean about elbows hurting, had my share of that! I'm experimenting with pauses on all my pressing movements right now. Its really cut my training weights but my elbows are feeling better and I think the weights will come back up over time.

Deadlift day I was too aggresive on the coan phillippi routine. I am going to back off and do some 5x5. or sets of 3, for the rest of the year and try the coan routine at the start of the new year, to run up to the martin ferry meet.
deadlifts 1x120x8 1x220x6 1x320x3 1x420x3 1x470x3 (heavy back down again) 1x420x3 1x420x3 ( I am a little peeved that the weight feels heavy) 1x420x6 (took my frustation out on the last set)
bent rows 3x220x6
stiff legged deadlifts 3x220x6
all in all a decent workout, but the weights felt heavy today. Like a good friend tells me "sometimes your the pigeon, sometimes your the statue."

My chest workout yesterday went that way. Wicked work-out bro... you're moving a small car with each of those sets. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Steve...you're doing great! I am sure with all of your experience in the gym that there are just some days when the weight feels heavier!

Your training just continues to be fantastic! #bbarbellsmiley4dr#
I understand your frustrations! I have noticed for myself, when I jump up in weight like you did in your deads (420 to the 470) if I don't get that higher weight, it is like someone took all the strength away on that one try and then backing down to the original weight, your 420, then the rest of the wo feels so heavy. I also have found more in powerlifting that I actually have fewer days where the weight feels heavy then when I trained in BB mode.
How is that one elbow doing?

Thanks guys Elbow is feeling great! Thanks for asking Karrie
todays workout
Squat day
1x120x1 1x220x6 1x320x6 1x420x4 1x470x3 (feeling good)
one thing about my bar at home that sucks, is that it doesn't have the knurling in the center, its smooth. So the bar wants to roll a little off my back
1x520-
trying for a single but I must have dipped too low and paused at the bottom. Lost all momentum and couldn't recover.
Front squats 1x320x2 (I thought I could get 4-5 but not today.
Back to normal squats 1x320x8
lower back very tight legs extremely pumped!

Steve, Happy to see the elbow is better. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) With your bar having no knurling in the middle I bet you struggle doing goodmornings, if you do them. The bar would slip just like in your squats. Keep plugging away, you are doing great!

yeah I do, do good mornings and everytime I lean forward the bar just slides up into my neck/head! LOL
todays workout Buckeye 420 workout with Toolpod today.
1x135x10 1x225x10 1x270x8 1x300x6 1x330x4 1x370x3 1x390x2 (needed a touch from toolpod on both reps) 1x390x2 (tried a wider grip, a little better but still needed an assist from TP) 1x390x2 finally got the first all on my own, needed a little assist on the 2nd rep. Thanks to Toolpod helping me. He showed me how to properly arch my back, and I think it will much better now.
1x330x4
blood volume triset seated bench/hammer incline/hammer decline 2 sets of ten no rest inbetween exrcises, 2 circuits no rest between circuits.
Totally burnt after that.
Showed Toolpod how to do a few most muscular poses, and he almost passed out from flexing so hard LOL. But I gotta say his pecs and delts are like monstrous! He is decpetively thick,
Now TP hit 405 for a triple today and the way it went up it looked like he could have gotten it for 5 easy! I mean WOW! I was so fired up watching him nail it today on the bench. He is a true beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much props to this monster!!!!

Starting tomorrow, I will be giving the korte routine a try. Basically its a 3x3 routine. its a 2 phase-8week routine. The first 4 weeks you train 3 days a week, but each workout you do squats, bench, and deadlift. But nothing else. We will see how it goes. here is a link www.deepsquatter.com/strength/archives/korte.htm

wk1 korte
58% of projected max
Squat 6x3x320
Bench 6x5x240
Deadlift 5x3x355
I think the reps might have been a little low. Wednesday I will jump up to 5 reps per sets.
Savions workout (my 10 year old trained with me) Squat 5x4x10lbs (he is just learning how to squat)
Bench 6x3x45
deadlift 3x3x45
my thoughts The squat portion felt great, legs pumped. Took minimal rest treated it like a speed day.
Bench. Now that I am arching correctly 240 felt easy.
Deadlift Struggled with this exercise. I may have been running out of steam a little, but it all felt good.

dec 9th bench press speed day
9x3x235 (30 second rest between sets)
1x23x235-
I love doing these. At 9 reps I thought I was only going to get 12 or so. So I grit my teeth and kept going. At 17 I paused at the top and rest my shoulders and arch and got a total of 23. Most I ever got rep wise with that weight!
Incline dumbell press 1x100x12 1x120x10 1x140x6
felt nice and strong. Dumbells felt light today!

squat and deadlift day
Squats 1x120x12 1x220x5 1x320x5 3x420x5
really focused on improving my powerlifting form which actually helps my knees feel better. Wider stance with the bar lower on my traps
Deads (speed style) 8x320x3
felt good so I threw 1 set of dumbell hammer curls with the 55's.
all in all a good workout

Bench Day, Wednesday has become workout with Toolpod day! Which is awesome, cause due to his heavy benching we get both a bench workout and a deadlift workout! J/K
Buckeye 420!
I have been working on the buckeye 420 routine for going on 3 weeks now! I got to close this out and today has to be the day!
2x135x10 1x225x10 1x270x8 1x300x6 getting my arch down and feeling good! 1x330x4-EASY! 1x370x3-a little tuff but felt good. 1x390x2-FINALLY HIT THIS-YEAH! 1x400x1-Nice and powerfull! 1x405x1-Bonus rep 1x330x4
Buckeye 420 done and in the books onto 425 next week! Praise the lord!
At this point Toolpod shows me another one of his secret weapons. Super arched chin ups! You basically pull up and it looks like an inverted bench press. It really helps to do this on an assisted pull up machine.
3x6
Bonus feature- you gotta love when the entire gym and stops and stares. This week we actually had a few mini crowds hanging around. They stopped and stared, especially when Jim (toolpod) nailed 450 for his single. We had a few hotties stare too which is always nice.
