Way to fight on while under the weather dude. What time do you have to get up for school? I learned the hard way last year that sleep patterns take a while to reset. I was used to staying up till 2, 3 in the morning and sleeping till 11 or 12. This summer, I've tried to keep it to 11, midnight latest and getting up around 7-9, just to stay close to what I have to work with during the school year (anywhere from 10-12 until 5:30). Find a good sleep pattern and stick with it and after getting used to that you should be better sleep wise.

It's kinda a reach here, but I too have bad allergies. I took 10 days worth of predisone and then had allergy tests done. The predisone knocked everything out and then I was put on astelin and zyrtec. The allergist also told me to get rid of all the crap in my room. That meant good bye to like 30 something trophies, and random crap I had piled around collecting dust. Ripped up the thick dust hoarding carpet and now I roll with Pergo floors. All's that left is my bed, a small couch, my dresser, tv unit, and a college chest I use for a table. I try to keep the clutter and dust down. It's helped tremendously. Just a thought if your allergies are bad and you have a bunch of stuff lying around collecting dust. Getting rid of crap has helped me a lot.

Awesome numbers on the deads man. 405x1 for 4 sets is sweet. I'm looking to hit 405 for 1 rep in a few months. Nice job on the split squats too. I use a stability ball for my reverse crunches. I found it helps me target the core more rather than keep bouncing. You just gotta make sure you don't cheat and bounce the ball off the floor to start the next rep. I'll bring it down and force it into the floor, then start up again.

Keep up the good work bro!

I have really bad allergies, but I took a series of allergy shots and now they rarely bother me. I am getting enough sleep its just I am not use to getting up so early. After this week me being tired won’t be a problem.

Thanks for stopping by

Excellent work, especially since you weren't feeling so hot. Whose program are you on?

Milk:

He's using EC's Ultimate Off-Season Training Manual like myself and EdChap, he's just using the static-proficient program, while Ed and myself are following the spring-proficient template.

Friday: Lower Body- Strength-Speed, Rep Emphasis
A)Single Leg lateral Box Jump 4x8/side@ 21 inches PR
B)Altitude Landing-Split stance 4x8/side
C)Box Squat Vs. Chains 185+30 lbs in chains for 10 sets of 2 PR
D)Rack Pull from Mid-Shin 315x5 325x5 335x5 335x5
E)Barbel Reverse Lunge Front Squat Grip 95x6 for 4 sets PR
F)Elevated Split Squat Iso hold 3x50s PR
G) Side Bridge 3x30s/side
I don’t really like the drills before this workout especially the altitude landing split squat stance. They are no fun :p
The Box squats felt a little slow but other then that the workout was great
I kept strict form on the rack pulls. The reverse lunges kill my wrist. I need to work on wrist flexibility. My shoulders are really flexible so I don’t think it’s them. It doesn’t help to have extremely long forearms.
I made it through all the iso holds, but they were though. I need to start adding weight on the side bridge I already do them from my hand. See reference.
http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/300...essionsvt4.jpg




Saturday: Upper Body- Strength-Speed, Rep Emphasis
A)Speed Bench 135x2 145x2 for 9 sets PR
B1)Neutral Grip One-Arm DB Push Press 75x5 PR(only got 3 reps with my left hand explanation below) 70x5 70x5 70x5 PR 65x5
B2)Close Grip Chin-Up Bw+25x5 for 5 sets PR
C1)Push-up Iso Hold off 4" step 3x50s PR
C2)Elbow Supported External Rotation 10x12 for 3 sets
Speed bench was great. Felt really fast. I’ve been doing speed work for a while but never felt explosive enough to do 145 I tried it out today and was supper fast, and even stayed fast through all 10 sets. I was very satisfied
Push press was nice. 75 felt great although I only got 3 reps with my left hand I could have got all 5 but, I have a drop out ceiling and I took a tile out so I could do them and when I get shaky at top I hit the next tile over and I did that and my dad yelled so I had to stop and lower the weight to a weight I could keep stable the whole time.
I can’t believe I made it through the whole 50 seconds in the iso hold and even finished the pushup after. It was real hard but I made it through. In the first and third set I didn’t take a break at all in the second set I took a short break after 30 seconds. My focus just broke down

I am glad the very high voulme week is over. I was starting to wear down

Looking at phase 2 I have a couple problems. I don’t know how long to wrestling season, but I know I don’t have enough time to do all of phase 2 and have a good late off-season. Depending on if I can do 2 or 3 weeks I’m going to do the volume like this
If I have 3 weeks
Week 1: Medium
Week 2: Very High
Week 3: Medium

if I have 2 weeks
Week 1: Very high
week 2: Medium

Then I will start my late off-season what do you think?

I also don’t have a cable machine so I need replacements for Medium, neutral grip seated cable row, Cable wood chop at hip height, and maybe pull through. I could use bands for pull troughs but it might not be enough tension
Also what are…
Prone Trap Raises and Prone Internal Rotation

Also do you have any ideas on wrist flexibility Clean grip kills my wrist.

Missed Friday and Saturday due to a much-needed vacation. I had a lot of stress in last week and I needed to go away so i went to the beach with some friends. I feel much less stressed now and I’m back in the gym hitting it hard. I figured since it was deload week it wasn’t to big of a deal


Well here is today

Phase II Lower Body-Maximal Strength/RFD Emphasis

A) Low hurdle Lateral Hop 4x10/side
B) Alternating Split Squat Cycle Jump 4x6/side
C) Wide Stance Anderson Squat From Parallel Pins 45x5 135x3 225x3 245x3 275x1 225x3 225x3
D) Barbell Reverse Lunge 135x6 135x6 135x6 PR 135x5
E) Stiff legged deadlifts 295x6 295x6 295x6 I really concentrated on keeping my back flat on these because I’ve noticed my deadlift form sucks at higher weights so I decided to keep my back flat on all exercises and not let it round
F1) Dragon Flag 3x12
F2) DB Windmill 30x8 30x8 30x8


I still need replacements for Medium, Neutral Grip Seated Cable Row, Cable Woodchop, and pull troughs Any Ideas are welcome

Sometimes a couple of days off is just what you need to be able to come back stronger. Glad you're feeling good and back at it!

Good focus on those SLDLs too.

I use to do vids of almost every workout, but lately I have not been doing it so I thought I would take a vid

Nice work and cool vid. The deadlifts look very speedy and the standing rollout is impressive. Keep it up!

Can the clean grip. I actually don't use it with many of my clients at all. They aren't O-lifters, so I'm not going to force them into it. I use cross-face, as do most of my clients.

I can use more weight with a clean grip, so it might be useful though. I had probs with them in the past, just like everyone else but what I did was use a clean grip during warmup when the weight isn't that high and use BB style when doing work sets. After some time, you won't have any probs with them anymore during your work sets.
