Wednesday 1/12/2011:

-Track Warmup

-Weights
  -Squat: 210x2x5, 200x1x5 ( :personal-record:, sort of... I was advised by a coach to go lower to hit hip flexors more so I changed my third set to 200 and went deeper. I think I'll start back at 200 and keep the increased depth. It hit other areas that I felt were weaker, plus I had no problem going as far as I did because of long legs or anything...)
  
  -DB bench press: 60lbx4x5 (post injury  :personal-record:) ....( actually that's where I was the day I tore my shoulder... I'm feeling good about it)
  
  -GHR S1: 3x8  :personal-record: (FELT AMAZING, HAMSTRINGS ARE STILL COOKED)
  -Seated rows S1: 180x3x8 (PR'ish... maybe. Never really keep track)

  -Stretch and PWO shake


Probably one of the best days I've had, getting 60 in each hand for DB press felt good, progress on that has been slow until now, so I'm excited to see what happens. Going up to that weight really showed me the difference in strength between my right and left though... probably the most satisfying lift of the day. Nothing too special with the squats, from what I saw, I didn't really like the depth on the 210's but 200 felt pretty good at a deeper squat.

Side note: I did GHR and seated rows as an upper/lower superset like I did when I was doing the Scrawny to Brawny program. Also, while I was in the locker room, one of my friends that I used to lift with all the time (the one who recently screwed up his shoulder) mentioned that my lats look wider and my back was looking thicker. That made me pretty happy because he sees me all the time, and even he noticed. Overall, it's been a great day for everything.

great post, great job on PR's, great session.. ya man you look way bigger than your initial pics on this forum.

going deeper on squat is going to hit the glutes/hams harder, not really the hip flexors.. for hip flexor stuff you really need direct isolation work.. 4-way hip, bands, BSS can hit them.

svjs were 2 hand rim grabs ~ 30-32"

Wouldn't you have to be getting higher for that?  Or is your 92" reach measured with a 2 hand reach rather than 1?

x2, i owulnd't be able to2h and grab with 30", with 32" ya, but myreach is 95".

So far, I think it's a little too long. Great detail, but I think the one liners at the bottom of every journal entry would be much more convenient and easy to read.
the problem with that is you dont see the progress as easily, which is the point

the point is to be able to see the whole
BW
1/13/11: 160
1/14/11:159.2
1/15/11: 160.1
.
.
.
2/26/11: 152.1

The point of the one liners is to see how external factors helped your workout itself

yup, if all you had was the 1 liners, trends in data would be much less apparent, you'd have to sift through the one liners and hope you can spot everything quickly and create a mental image of that data..... with the lists, you have that data right in front of you, in successive lines, easy to analyze.

mattyg linked him tearing a phone book in another thread, then i sought out some of his vids.. this series of videos is really good.

it's bench press, but it's a great series of vids, plus he's pretty funny..

Hm, I see.
Put mine in the OG post but it's a bitch to switch back and forth between them right now.

We need to make sure we take as little time as possible logging etc though.
All that time could also be used resting/gearing yourself towards your goal.

ya i mean it took me 10min to log my above post.. it might take others a little longer until they get used to it, shouldn't take too long though.

just make sure to link your original post in every training session post, at the bottom, so people will remember you are constantly modifying that & updating it.. i did a small example in stuck's journal, he'll just copy and paste the link in every workout post from now on etc.

peace man

shouldn't be too hard to program in excel, I mean, you already got huge diet excel files which are quite similar.
Have no clue how to fix that stuff though.

Just to be sure, you're going to update that last post every day? Or you making a new post every day?
Sucks having to go back to page 171 all the time imo

ya im gonna include it in each post for now, if it gets too big ill prolly put it in its own thread or in my very first post in my journal ;)

Andrew,

I saw this guy at the gym today who stacked the plyo boxes on top of one another.  He stacked them so high that he could barely make the box jump.  It immediately made me think of this thread.  I was hoping that he wiped out and he almost did...

Anyway, I have to start bringing my video camera to the gym so I can capture moments like these. 

hahaha

as much as of a retard i think that kid is, wouldn't wish a wipeout on him.. with that being said, capturing the wipeout on film would make for many lolz in this thread ;)

people are crazy, max box jumps with insane hip flexion FTL (for the loss).
