Thanks steve!!

Just got back from picking up the weights, they are in great shape! Most of the 45s look brand new, love buying stuff on craigslist!

What was the price per pound on average?

One tip...make sure you measure your plates. Most of mine are smaller than regulation and can make deadlift a chore without blocks.

I think it breaks down to around 25 cents per pound,

I will have to make sure I measure them, but I think they are regulation b/c they are a little bigger than my crappy ones that came in my first weight set

Great work as always J! Keep it up. Its been awhile since I've looked at Juggernaut, but does the high reps tapper off and move closer towards high intensity?

A little jealous over your recent purchase. Now that you have you weight any pictures...?! haha

yes juggernaut tapers down, it goes in 4 week cycles or 10s,8s, 5s, 3s

Pictures will be coming soon, I need to clean up some other stuff down there first and get it set up right. I think my uncle has some mats for me too, should work out nicely.

Monday Bench Press
Felt pretty strong on bench today, the weights got a lot heavier from one cycle to the next but so far so good. My lats are killing me. Pendlay rows are my new favorite exercise!

Bench Press
135x2x5
185x5
230x2x8
230x10
It was tough for me to get tight on the bench today, I do not think I warmed up my low back and legs enough. But I got it done.

Pendlay Rows
135x10
185x6
225x5x5

Neutral DB Incline Press
70s x 10
80sx 6
85s x 3x 5
90sx 2 x 5
These felt good, hit the triceps hard.

Lat Pulldown close neutral grip
180x 2x8
205x2x6
180x10

Tate Press
55s x 4x 8

Great workout, kept the pace going nicely. I work back and forth between all of my assistance, not really a superset but just back and forth. It makes me cut down my rest periods without noticing.

Feeling strong, I think I am going to deadlift tomorrow, so I can squat again on Wednesday in my basement. Bottom position squats!

That will be good times. I assume you're going deep, deep on these?

Enjoy them too.

Yes, i will try to go fairly deep. I will set the pins at just below parallel and see how it works out

Tuesday Deadlifts
Felt very strong today, the bar was flying up. My upper back was sore but my low back and hips felt great!

Sumo Deads
135x2x5
225x3
275x3
315x3
350x2x8
350x12 !!
I think this was 12 reps, it might have been more. I also reset on most of the reps.

Yoke Bar Squats
180x5
270x3x5
Getting tired on these

Shrugs
225x20
315x20
405x15
495x12
405x15
315x20
Good volume on these, been a while since I have done heavy shrugs, I enjoyed them.

Back Extensions
3 x 20

I felt awesome, but I got tired very fast. I am very happy with how strong I felt today. I think I am slowly gaining weight and it is helping my lifts tremendously. Next week is my max week, should be good.

Nice work Jeremy. Does Juggernaut recommend a specific 1RM test approach, or are you just going to go for it?
