A little about me

I have competed in both Olympic Weightlifting and Bench-Only Lifting. I competed in Olympic Lifting as a kid. Best lifts of 255 Olympic Press, 225 Snatch, 255 Clean & Jerk. I met many of the great lifters and coaches from the 60's and 70's. After a 20-year break to serve my country I started lifting regularly again and competing in Bench-Only. Best Lift: 419lbs "equipped".

Feel free to follow along on the adventure...

Basic AGF Training Cycle


The 10x3 is working very well.

I've put together a plan following

our next competition consisting of

two 3-week mini cycles including de-load

weeks. It alternates raw full-range

movements with partials and some shirt

work.


I'll outline bench and tricep days...


10x3 on main movements, no change

to sets/reps on secondary movements.


Bench Day

Week 1) Floor Press w/Bands, Cable Flyes

Week 2) Super Rev-Band BP, DB Flyes

Week 3) De-load (DB BP or D.E. BP)

Week 4) Loose Shirt 2-Board, Cable Flyes

Week 5) Dbl-Band BP, DB Flyes

Week 6) De-load (DB BP or D.E. BP)

---Repeat---


Tricep Day

Week 1) 5-Board, 1-Arm Ext

Week 2) Rev-Band JM, Womacks

Week 3) Rev-Band 5-Board, 1Arm Ext

Week 4) S/W JM, Womacks

---Repeat---


Back Day: Pretty much the same. I like

to get two movements in at around 8 sets

of 8 each, plus pull-aparts or some other rear

delt or rotator cuff movement. But whatever.

Just get stronger.


I'm anxious to try the loose shirt 2-boards for

10x3 and high-volume 5-board work.

Damn hippies.
