Jwood wants to be a Juggernaut!

[jwood]

Thanks guys!! Training is really focused lately, numbers are moving up nicely!

Quick Conditioning Session
Tried not to push it too hard, my legs are still pretty sore. Gonna have to really loosen up tomorrow before deads.

Sled Sprints
all sprints about 40 yards
25 x 2
45 x 4
70 x 4

2 x 50 yards, no sled

Was going to go for a long sprint but I could feel some tightness and tweaking in my left hamstring. So I slowed up and shut it down. No reason to get hurt on a conditioning session.

Thursday Good Session
Solid training today, I am still working on my sumo form. So it does not quite feel natural all the time. Once I get a lot more practice I am hoping it goes a lot better. I managed to hit my reps today and that is all that counts

Speed Box Squats
*plus light band
145x5
195x2
235x6 sets x 2 reps

Sumo Deadlifts
135x 5
225x3
315x2 singles
365x1
405 x 2 singles
470 x 2 This was a grind and not very pretty

Speed Deads
385 x 6 sets x 3 reps
These were brutal

Circuit, 3 rounds minimal rest
Stiff Legged Deads 275x3 x8
Barbell Rows 225 x 3 x 8
Chin Ups BW x 3 x 8
Good Mornings w/ cambered x 200 x 3 x 8

Feel like death right now, need to get in some serious calories. Time to start putting on weight slowly. Going to try to do a somewhat clean bulk. Bottom line is I am stronger when I am heavier. Will still keep an eye on my fatness though.

Week 4 of this cycle will be brutal, 495x2, might have to do 2 singles. Then it resets a little. I will also be going on vacation the first week of september which fits perfectly into this cycle. Then I can come back and grind it out until the end. 3 weeks in and I feel stronger.

You going to monitor calories or just eat a ton of clean food.
