* 440x1 from a complete pause. not very smooth on the way up. only had a few lbs over it. still not 455x1 strong. i was approaching 202-204lb when i was doing the strict paused 455s daily single reps 18+.. i was already at 25 singles.. then i messed it up - ate less while recovering from that smith calf lowerback fatigue/strain (495x20s)... dropped BW to 194-196. BW slowly creeping up again. at least only the squats had a setback. all other lifts are going strong. i'm pulling that 200lb full stack cable rows x20s.. first few reps feels like i'm rowing pink dumbells.

initially planned a 435 but i didn't like how the little 5lb plate looked.

 

* not very happy with todays 440 but id take that over a 445. 265,355,445... those double 10s look like a tank and makes the bar feel heavier than it is.

* this 405x1 feels easy but still not as easy when i was doing the 455s. this is week2 day1 of no 405+ weights. will go 315-315-315 in the morning and a 405-435 tmrw. i miss the adrenalin of pausing with the 4 1/2 plates. need to get there again.

Now there's a goal! What other areas will you be working on? Power clean, 30m sprint, plyos?

the hill sprinting/prowler drills take care of the running part. i will eventually do more front squats / powercleans.

Could you update me on your current goal?

seems like you're bulking up but i dont notice you going higher than 405x1

405x1 on maintenance / recovery days. 455x1 top set on strong days.

2013 goal is 2.3BW squat with 475 (204-208BW) up to 495 (208-212BW) if i can still put some mass without getting too fat. caffeine, fasted training and hill sprints for adipose control.

will cycle 8-12 weeks of speed/explosive routine at some point. if i can find time off work in the near future, i'm planning on taking the team usa bobsled combine to see how i measure up with the 5'10-6'2 power athletes.

* BW 198-200lb consistent for days now. felt really strong with the cable rows. now at x20s on that too. cannot increase the weight anymore because the machine is full stacked at 200 (100lb effective resistance). do not like using dumbells. the ROM is limited at the top and i prefer to be vertical so i don't get dizzy.

* 405x1 this afternoon felt just a little easier than this morning. will be a lot stronger tmrw after my 2nd set of good sleep recovery. not sure if 455x1 strong.
* 6x45 plates on the calf raise leg press so i don't get doms from inactivity in the calves. BW getting up slowly again. got chicken breast patties from costco and eating at least 4 per meal.
