I have no idea what I am doing. Haphazardly training my way to being a Strongman.

12/1/2012 Deadlifting at a crappy gym

So had a work trip last night, got a few hours os sleep then hit the Gym in this tiny one horse town. Gym is not horrid for being tiny, but i had no stuff with me so deads where tougher than should have been. Bb i used was smooth and had no straps or chalk.


Deads:
135X5
225X5
8x5@245

Some cable rows for a few sets
10 minutes in sauna
Done.

Notes: couldnt hang onto bar to do rdls or shrugs so just called it good. Easy peasy workout

Yes they will.

So felt like hell yesterday and stayed home and rested. I feel much better today and will be hitting squats this afternoon.

Get after 'em! Glad you're feeling better.

12/5/2012 TJM Intensification Squats 10's wave

Was kinda sick yesterday and decided to skip the workout for a day. Went in today and smashed stuff

Squat:
2X5@45
1X3@135
1X3@225
9X3@250
250XAMRAP (GOT 8).
Did all sets with 90~ seconds rest. Had I rested fully before my AMRAP, I think I would have gotten 12 or so.

10 minute break

Leg Press:
2X20@300+sled weight

Single leg press:
2X10@sled weight with each leg

Hyperextensions:
2X8@ bodyweight

Notes: Happy with todays workout. Only downside is I had to squat in front of the mirror, which I hate doing. I also got some lulz watching a guy 1/4 the bar on the smith machine next to me.

I know this is going to sound sadist, but I am enjoying the volume in this program. I cant believe i just said that. Also my conditioning is improving rapidly.



12/6/2012 Misc upper body day

I had to work this morning and got off early so I hit up a misc upper body workout. I pushed my wrist to see where its at annd it felt pretty good. Heavy stuff still hurts a little which is to be expected. I will try some other exercises next upper day and see what bothers it so I can avoid it for awhile.

Incline DB Press:
30X10
40X10
50X10
60X10
70X3*
Started to hurt a touch on least set so I shut it down. Can you tell I dont use DB's very often?

1 Arm DB Rows:
70X10
75X10
80X8*
I didnt want to beat my back up too much before I deadlift tomorrow

CG Machine bench press:
2X25@100lbs*
Just trying something different. Should have just done pushups as these where pretty worthless other than a little tricep pump.

Always fun to have a functional playing around with stuff day. I am still thinking of incorporating a high volume bodybuilding day into my weekly workout instead of a jugg method bench day. I have kicked the idea around for about 3 weeks and still dont know how I feel about it.
