Sarge's Lifting Chronicles 2006-2007

Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

tomorrow's plan for Week 6 Day 2:

- Squat
...usual light squat day going up to 190x5

- Subing Military for Push Presses now

- Power Cleans 152x5x5 (regularly scheduled)

- Clean Pulls: 190x3, 225x3, 255x3, 295x3

- DL: 225x5, 280x5, 330x5, 350x5, 380x5

Now here's my question:

At the end of clean pulls... should I just load 315 and go from there on Deadlifts... or scale back to ramp back up with 5's... although I want to pull triples with deads now.... ideers?

You're plenty warmed up to pull after power cleans and clean pulls....If I were you, I'd start deadlifting at 315 and just do 4 or 5 progressively heavy triples.

I totally agree w/ Biggt. You will be PLENTY warm if not a tad wrecked IMO. Looks like an ambitious day - I think you will do just fine especially if you switch to triples on the DL.

Damn, where have I been, Good stuff sgt!

lol... recovering I thought. Heal up and hit the weights hard when you're 100% ... don't push recovery just to risk injury. Do legs, or something where you don't need to use the injured apendage.
Thanks man! Welcome to the dungeon.

Just what I was hoping for ... thanks broly

_____________________________________

CRAP! I forgot... Power Cleans... 8 sets of 3 this week... still want to get the reps in, but don't want the degrading form to set in past rep 3...

I'll go for triples with less rest and more hand wiping... need to find chalk.

Maybe i'll sport my super cool wrist sweat bands to keep the arm sweat from going to my hands I'll make sure to wear my super tight under armour shirt and vertical stripe 80's red and black spandex shorts lol

WEEK 6 DAY 2

Start Time: not sure... logged time after 2nd set of Squats: 5:53pm

Light ATF Squat Day
117x5
145x5
190x5
190x5

Standing BTN Military - gripped a tad wider than shoulder (forearms perpendicular to the floor/natural feel)... brought the bar to top of traps every rep.
90x5
105x5
117x5 (kiiiiinda tough, no way was I going to be able to muscle up the scheduled next weight strict... BTN Push Pressed the next set
145x5 (smooth as buttah... but Push Pressed) BTN PP PR ... but if I'm going to stick with Strict Military I gotta drop the weight...BOOO

I'd also like to note that Thanks to BiggT's recent numerous descriptions of the Push Press... I have it DOWN PAT now... I belive I was jerking it before on a few reps and didn't know it... I like them alot more now that I know I did that last set with perfect form and a PR for PP's... I can deffinetly keep increasing that lift... or switch to military... decisions, decisions...

Power Cleans
warm ups: 135x6, 145x5
152x3x3x3x3x3x3x3x3 lol... 8 sets of 3
3rd set in my lumbars were SHOT ... took my freakin' time inbetween... sat down... day dreamed... ect..

Clean Pulls
190x3
225x3 (HOLY CRAP... lumbars toast... sat down... recooped for awhile... 5 minutes maybe.)
255x3 (Belted and strapped up... even gave myself more time after this and then my back felt fine... stoopid thing)
295x3 (NO belt ... still strapped)

Deadlifts - strapped... sweaty palms... need chalk damnit!... Hmm... i wonder what I could hold onto if I had chalk..these bars are hardly even knurled... my shins just get red, they don't rip cuz the bars are smooth practically, lol... ok... ANYWAY...
315x3 ... wow, pretty exhausted here
345x1 ... friggin' DONE... just beat... the power cleans wiped me out... hang me up to dry... time to cash in my chips... time to pay the piper...
... embarrasing Deadlift workout, but I had to try it with the Cleans.

For me... it's Power Cleans OR Deadlifts... for now.

End Time: 6:56pm

I had a feeling and thought that my "waist" was gettin' larger.

I KNEW i was getting softer...that's fine, but my man handles are coming back...fuckers...

Proven tonight by my lifting belt, lol... I had to crank that bad boy over, hard... only had like 1 notch left
Granted it's old... from when I was 170lbs... but last I remember I had at least 4 notches left in that bad boy, and it was easy to put on

I've come to the conclusion that my morning concoktion needs to be analyzed closely... and other meal portions scaled back a bit. And the milk scaled as well.

I don't want to do cardio (even low intensity) because I want to keep pushing my PR's and be in the gym only 3 days a week.

DAMN my efficient body and adipose fat loving summamabitch.

P.S. My knees are bothering me tonight... more streching for them.
OH and I'm gettin' a new bed finally... hopefully that will help my damn back too.
