Default bigDman’s Ultimate Off-season Training Log

Well, I flew through EC's training manual in a few hours and am really excited about getting started. I found I am a very static athlete so I will be concentrating on getting more "Springy". I will start Monday, and will post the results of the test he gave later today. I have till the end of October before I have to start my late off-season in till then I will do general off-season work. I’m going to start with Phase 1 directly from the book (with a few modifications because of equipment problems) then after phase 1 and I get a feel for the program and what I need most work on I will change Phase 2 up to fit me better.

Some Stats as of right now (August 13)
Age: 15
Weight: 198
Height: 6 foot
Max Raw bench: 235 (this is old I am pretty sure I can do a lot more now)
Max Raw deadlift: 425
Max Raw squat: 350 (this is old I am pretty sure I can do a lot more now)
Max Equipped bench: 315
Max equipped squat: 415 (smoke show definitely could have done more, but I didn’t have a good spotting crew so I decided not to risk it and stop)






Any questions or comments are appreciated

Hey man, good luck with EC's program. I'm just about to do workout 4, but I have 24 weeks until late off season so I'm doing the spring proficient workouts now and then I'll do the static proficient workouts after these phases are done, so I'll definitely be keepin on eye on your log. Good luck!

Sweet, another person following EC's program! I have a feeling you're going to be putting up some monstrous numbers.

Finally get to start my workout program
I was resting up for my bike ride that was yesterday I biked 100 KM. I averaged 17 mph


Today
Upper Body- Maximal Strength/RFD emphasis
A) Power Skipping 4x25 yards
B) High Box Jump 1x8 @ 21 inches 1x8@ 24 inches 1x8@ 28 inches PR
C) 45 Degree Incline Press 185x3 PR Was going good till last rep then I was struggling and went to use leg drive and my butt came up so I dropped the weight 175x3 175x3 PR
D1) Neutral Grip DB Bench Press 65x8 75x8 75x8 PR
D2) Chest Suported Row- Pronated Grip 155x8 155x8 165x8 165x8 PR
E1) One-Arm Face Pull #3x12 #3x12 #3x12
E2) Supine 1-Arm DB Protraction 45x15 45x15 45x15 Just went through the motion. It was weird
F) Full contact Twist Barx8 bar+35x8 bar+35x8 PR

Great Workout. I did upper body first because my legs are not 100% from yesterday

I have a couple of questions though
Are the DB presses and Rows suppose to be supersetted?
What about the face pulls and protractions?
Also I don’t have anything to do the Face pulls with so I used bands. Is there anything I can substitute in for face pulls or is doing them with the bands fine?

Slept like a baby it was great I was energized when I woke up then I was kind of tired about 3-4 hours after I woke up. Then I got lazy and sat around being tired. Around 5, I worked out and felt very energized. I was still pretty sleepy throughout the day

Nice job on the Deadlift PR!

To make the stability ball leg curls harder, try doing them 1 leg at a time.
Reverse crunches can be weighted by holding a medicine ball or dumbbell between your feet.

The D1 and D2 and E1 and E2 designations indicate a superset. Bands are fine for the face pulls.

Do a natural glute-ham raise. There are 800 different ways to rig this up.

Reverse crunches can be made tougher by making the weight overhead lighter. I'd be willing to bet that you're doing these incorrectly (too much hip flexor recruitment).

Okay. I can't do natural GHR's unassisted, but I can do GHR's on a GHR machine unassisted. Is this normal?

I’ll take a vid of the reverse crunches tomorrow.

Guys,

Just so you know, these are all in line with programming I do with clients who have one-hour sessions booked. Ideally, the rolling is done on their own before we start, and the dynamic flexibility shouldn't take more than five minutes. The lifting takes about an hour on the dot.

If you're going longer, it's probably because a) you're still learning the exercises, b) you're in a home gym that requires a lot more set-up time, c) you're reading the program incorrectly (i.e., not doing supersets when you should be), or d) you're just dragging your heels.

Right, I think I need to pick up the pace a tad then, I'm clocking workouts between 1 hour and an hour and a half, thanks.

a and b apply to me I think next week the workouts will be shorter. I was still searching for weights and figuring things out.

Yea, the first few workouts were a bit longer as I was trying to find out what weights to use. Good to know that I'm working at a good clip. The rolling, warmup and lifting take me about 1hr 15 min on average, more if I need to roll some more.

Something to consider...

My last client tonight did the following in a one hour session:

Foam rolling/tennis ball myofascial release and mobility

A1) Thick bar floor press: 6x5
A2) Chest-supported row - pronated grip: 6x6
B1) Blast strap suspended push-ups: 3x10
B2) Neutral Grip Inverted Row: 3x10
C1) Side lying external rotation: 3x12
C2) Reverse Crunches: 3x12

It's his "very high" stress week in the gym, so this is about as much as he'll do. If he can do 24 sets and a thorough warm-up in an hour, so can you.

PS - He's getting diesel. We've been working together three weeks, and he tripled his 1RM on the bench after only two weeks. I like projects.

EC on my very high voulme days. When i knew exactly what was going to be on the bar and had everything set up. i preformed 25 sets in an hour so I think it is just getting use to the exersizes. How I can go through them with minimal moving around witht eh equipment (clutered home gym). Hopfully next week ill gewt the workouts in under an hour.

Friday: Lower Body- Strength-Speed, Rep Emphasis
A)Single Leg lateral Box Jump 1x8@ 19 inches 3x8 @ 17 inches
B)Altitude Landing-Split stance 4x8/side @ 24 inches
C)Box Squat Vs. Chains 135+30 lbs in chains for 8 sets of 2
D)Rack Pull from Mid-Shin 365x5 295x5 295x5
E)Barbel Reverse Lunge Front Squat Grip 45x6 95x5 45x6
F)Elevated Split Squat Iso hold 3x35s
G) Side Bridge 3x30s/side

Workout didn’t go to well
The squats were a little slower then normal
I can’t rack pull for reps and it messed with me.
I have three choices for the rack pull
1) go down to singles
2) Go down to triples
3) Stay with 5 reps keep weight lighter and work on form (my Deadlift form falls apart with heavier weights)
What do you think I should do?

Another question and the Altitude Landing-Split stance are you suppose to land in like a lunge position or how are you suppose to land?

C1)Push-up Iso Hold off 4" step 3x35s
C2)Elbow Supported External Rotation 15x12/side for 3 sets

Everything went great. I felt strong and fast. I was very very happy with the DB push press. My shoulders are one of my weak points and they are getting much stronger.
