Week 3, Day 3

Strength

Squat:
135#(1)
135#(3)
135#(3x5)

Bench:
135#(3)
150#(2)
160#(3x5)

Deadlift:
185#(3)
205#(1)
225#(1)
245#(1x5)

The Bench and Deadlift were both kind of tough, but mentally they felt strong which is the most important part. My Squat form was good for these reps, rather then improving for Strength for the next two months I won't progress unless the form is good. Moving forward with the weight with sloppy form is what got me in this mess. It won't happen again.

Week 3, Day 1

MAX's

Squat:
135# (4)
150# (1)
160# (1)
MAX Squat: 185# (1)

Bench Press:
135# (4)
150# (1)
165# (1)
MAX Bench: 175# (1)

Deadlift:
205# (1)
225# (1)
235# (1)
Max Deadlift: 250# (1)

Total: 610#

Atlas Stone:
240# Rack on two tires(1)
240# Rack on three tires(1)


I feel like I could have gotten more on the Deadlift, but my form needs work for the Squat and my Bench is just weak. Either way, what I figured i would be weak in I was, however the numbers were abysmally low.

I lifted the Atlas stone, which in itself brightened my mood. Either way, I'm look forward to a new squat routine, more to help with Cleans , then improve my squat, although squatting in general should help. Monday's and Friday's will be Front Squats, and on Wednesday's I will do Overhead Squats.

I think I'm going to have to start running, I have an APFT in a few weeks.

Week 2, Day 6

I went outside today to do a two mile run, it was too sunny. Went back inside and went back to sleep.

Reality Check:

So I know that I've been spreading a lot of anti-running sentiments lately, but these are all in fun. I am still cutting down on my running, from the earlier proposed +20 miles a week to 4 miles, split over two days. The reason is simple.

Rather then trying to achieve each component of the BASSES, I will be focusing on specific components, reaching their goal level and then maintain that level while focusing on improving another specific component. At the moment this is how it will look.

First Component(Nov-TBD):
Strength(3) MWF Afternoon
Gymnastics Holds(3) MWF Afternoon w/Strength
Speed(2) MW Morning


Second Component(Jan-TBD)
MetCon(2) T,S Afternoon
Athletic Activity(1) S Anytime

Third Component(Feb-TBD)
Acrobatic Work(1) TH Evening
Fighting Skill(5) M,T,W,F,S Evening

In the case of MetCon's, there will still be MetCon's thrown in during the Strength training, however they will be less geared towards fighting and more geared towards lifting. FS and AW were both put in the Third Component for fiscal purposes and time constraints. Endurance has been removed until I start to like runnning again and I see it as useful for myself.

Week 2, Day 4 and 5

Day 5:

Strength:

Bench Press:
135#(2x3)
145#(2x2)
155#(2x1)
165#(5x3)

Deadlift:
205(1)
215(1)
225(1x5)

There was a mistake in my Deadlift and I accidentally put to much weight on and jumped up 35#. It still felt really easy so I'm pretty excited to keep increasing the weight. I got up one of Thomas's working sets pretty simply at 245#. On Monday I'm doing One Rep max's for Back Squat, Deadlift, and Bench Press just too see where I'm at. I also might leave the Back Squat and go to the front, since it will help with Cleans and Thrusters.

DAY 4:

Week 2, Day 3


The Faction:

1. Running is stupid!
2. Heavy Lifting is THE ONLY.
3. Running is for people who can't lift.
4. The Deadlift was given to us before Eve and is Man's first true gift from God.

The Faction will not run, as it is contrary to our goals of being able too lift heavy things. This is just the beginning.

Diet:
I made it to 2500 calories today... I'm going to start drinking a gallon of Lactaid a day, it's the same caloric value as 2% milk, but without the Lactose.

Workout:
We got a tire and that thing is huge!

Warm Up:
Active Stretching

Strength METCON:
"Lucky Number 5"
5: Tire Flips
5: 95# Thrusters
50 meter run
10 minutes completion time.

Cool Down:
Lay down like a bitch.

This thing kicked my ass, I liked it alot though and am actually looking forward to doing some more work with the tire.

Week 1, Day 6

This Post is for Sunday, not Monday, Post to follow after workout.

Rest Day.

Tomorrow starts the new cycle. I'm going to move slow into the run, rather then starting with sprints I'll go with the endurance run on Tuesday just to feel my legs out. Either way, it'll be good to put some weight up tomorrow. Hydrating and Eating.

Fighting Skill(FS) training is on hold and will be added next week should finances allow.
