Workout #52 10-1-07
Todays workout went pretty well, decided to reset on my squats so I could focus on explosive speed more. Besides that my workout was really intense kept my tempo up and my heart was racing the whole time through.
Weight: 214lbs
Squat: 45x5, 135x5, 185x4, 155x5, 165x5, 155x5, was focusing on explosive power today so my bar speed on nearly all my reps was fast, as well I made sure to go atg on all the reps which is a good cause lately some of my squats have been only slightly below parellel so it was a nice change.
Military Press: 45x5, 65x5, 85x5, 95x3, 90x5, these went up a bit, managed to get 95lbsx3 which is awesome as thats a pr for me, as well right after did 90x5 which for some reason I haven't been able to do lately but nailed today.
Barbell Rows: 135x5, 185x1x5, These were intense, for some reason squatting and pressing tired me out so everytime I would do a heavy row my heart rate would skyrocket so I waited for it to go down a bit.
So todays workout was very good, going to work on explosive power on the squats for a few weeks and hopefully by the end of this month I'll be able to do 200lbsx5 with a fast bar speed (or probably around a 220-230lb squat if I struggle). Well will be intersting if I make the goal anyways.

Well todays workout went pretty well, I'm probably going to skip squats this Friday due to a nagging soreness in my inner left glute, it doesn't bother me but I'm to afraid to push squats when it's there so I'll let it heal completely and try them again on Monday.
As for everything else I reset so my program is closer to the rippletoe format again.
Weight: 217lbs
Squats: 45x5, 115x5, 165x5, 185x4x2, 175x5.
Bench: 45x5, 115x5, 145x5x3
Deadlift: 135x5, 185x5x3, I did conventional today and probably will just stick with doing it as I think my glute problem was due to the switch to sumo, either way they wern't very difficult.

Yea, I'm probably going to continue bulking for a good 6 more months or so, although I reduced my calorie intake from 6K to about 4.5K as I started gaining too fast so I thought a reduced calorie intake would still allow me to gain weight (and therefore muscle) without the sacrifices of cutting yet, make no mistake, I will cut sometime next year but I want a solid base before doing so.
Workout #54 10-8-07
This morning I just didn't want to wake up, but I forced my body into submission anyways. Other then that I am now focusing on form and power, I want my form to be perfect and I want plenty of power going into every movement. As for those two things I achieved them today although I was working with lighter weights then normal, also thought it good to reset to a bit lower weights and go back closer to the original rippetoe format.
Weight: 214lbs
Squat: 45x5, 95x5, 135x5, 185x3, 155x5x3: My third rep of 185 I leaned forward to much so I racked the weight and lowered it, was doing these with care since I didn't want to irritate my glute again, which I actually did all of my reps without any pain at all, I thing stretching it out really helped.
Military Press: 45x5, 65x5, 85x5: Did these all fairly well.
Dumbbell Press: 80x5x2: I think I'm going to switch to dumbell press for a few weeks to see if that helps me.
Barbell Rows: 135x5, 155x5x3, did these all well with excelent form, speed and power, like the other lifts will probably just increase them slowly until I stall again or my form starts to slide.
Overall excellent workout, just gotta keep chugging along and remember that I am making progress no matter how slow it seems sometimes.

Workout #55 10-10-07
Todays workout went well, nothing to exciting just working my way up again since the last reset and paying extra attention so I maintain really good form.
Weight: 216lbs
Squats: 45x5, 135x5, 165x5x3, everything went well, my form stayed good although I leaned a bit far forward on two reps. Probably going to repeat it to perfect my form before I move up.
Bench: 45x5, 95x5, 135x5, 145x5, 140x5x2, these were good, struggled a bit but not to much.
Deadlift: 135x5, 185x5x3, these were pretty easy, did them conventional and my form stayed really good through all the reps, will definitely increase these next time.
So overall a really good workout, seems like I'm advancing at a solid, steady pace so if I can keep it up for a few more months I'll be really happy.
