Excellent, lol. Week One of the new routine is
over and I like it. It's tough and thats what I need.
In case one of my training partners is checking this
out...I am starting very very light so don't look at
my numbers yet. The basics are: An "Everyday Max"
something I can easily make anytime plus some singles
a little lighter. Then a balls-out set at 70% of that and
a 50% set following that, trying to get at least half
the reps of the 1st set. DB Flyes and triceps for lots
of volume. Upper back usually finishes off both
workouts. The second workout focuses on
Compensatory Accelleration Training in a 5x5
format. Again I've started very light will increase
every week into the 80% range. DB Bench using
the "350 Method", Military Press 3x12, and Rows
complete Sunday night's training. I believe I
have corrected a big technique issue that will give
me a shot in the arm, So I'm excited to train for the
first time in awhile.
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...
