YetiFeet's Quest for Greatness

Workout from 8/11/10
Front Squat: 2x5x200lbs PR
Bench: 3x5x225 (2 plates woo) PR, 8x175lbs
Romanian deads: 6x175lbs, 4x205lbs, 2x225lbs, 4x235lbs (grip gave out -_-)
"speed deadlifts": 4x235lbs (DOH, focusing on pulling hard and fast off the ground (my weak spot))

I could have gotten 3x5 of 200lbs on the front squat but my hips felt a little weird after the second set so I decided to play it safe and stop.

Pretty happy about the benching, my form was a little shaky because I got all amped up, but I got it done and it felt good!

Workout from 8/19/20
Front squat: 2x5x205lbs PR, 8x160lbs
Bench: 5x230lbs PR, 3x230lbs, 2x230lbs (3x5 failed)
Deadlift: 5x255lbs, 5x265lbs
Kroc rows: Left+Right x18x90lbs
Chins: 7xBW+10lbs, 6xBW+10lbs, 8xBW

Didn't do the 3rd heavy set of front squats today because of my hips; they started to feel weird so I decided to play it safe again. Backoff set felt good.

Finally stalled on the bench... which is now significantly more than I can front squat -_-

I'm surprised I had a decent workout considering I was throwing up all Tuesday and my stomach has been messed up since then. I'm finally deadlifting again and I'm determined to move north of vag and really push for lots of progress on it.

The krocs really whooped me so that's probably why my chins sucked.
 
Workout from 8/22/10
Front squat: 3x5x205lbs PR , 8x160lbs
SOHP: 3x5x145lbs, 8x115lbs
Chins: 11xBW+10, 7xBW+10, (pullups) 5xBW+10, 7xBW
Overhead triceps extensions: approx 16 reps (first with hands apart, finishing with hands together), 10 on cable machine

Squatting felt really good, sat back (as much as one can with front squats), had good glute activation out of the hole, and made conscious effort to keep knees out. Hips felt great because of this.
 
Workout from 8/24/10
Front squat: 3x5x210lbs PR
Bench: 3x230lbs, 5x185lbs
Deadlift: 5x280lbs (DOH grip)
Pullups: (wider grip) 10xBW

On my first set of front squats I almost dropped the bar. I was using some really weird bar that was almost triangular and had shitty knurling, plus is was hot as hell so I was really sweaty. On the fifth rep the bar slipped off my right shoulder on the way up... but I caught it in the zercher squat position and finished the rep with no pause or dropping (so I'm counting it =D)

Benching was shit. I'm probably plateauing now (about time) which is nice because my squat can catch up now lol.

Deadlift was good, used chalk for the first time on it and didn't even need to switch to mixed grip.
 
Workout from 8/31/10
Squat: 2x5x195; working squats back into my training, really focusing on tight lower back after doing mobility work for my hips and hamstrings, went pretty well

I haven't been updating my log lately... mostly because my laptop broke and posting training log entries from my iPhone is annoying as hell -_-

Training has been pretty good; I deloaded, switched to a 2 per week A/B slip and I'm making progress again

Finally got my belt from EliteFTS; I originally ordered the wrong size and have been waiting for my exchange for a few weeks. Got to use it yesterday and it was awesome! I've never used a belt before and it really felt a difference in my squats

Forgot to log my last two workouts; they both had PRs too!

Workout from 10/25/10
Deadlift: 5x320 PR, relatively easy too

Squat: 3x5x265lbs PR
Kroc rows: Left+Right x22x95lbs PR

Didn't bench because shoulder still felt odd; did 3 sets of relative heavy machine chest flys, two sets of tate presses with 35lbs for 7 reps, then two sets of heavy overhead tricep extensions to failure. Didn't like the Tate presses; they felt awkward so that's why I did the overheads

two good PRs today!

Deadlift: 2x3x135lbs, 2x135lbs, 3x185lbs, 2x225lbs, 1x260lbs, 1x290lbs, 1x310lbs, 1x330lbs, 5x350lbs PR
OHP machine: neutral grip, three sets of 8-10 reps on heavy-ish weight
Lat pulldowns: 2 sets of 10 reps with very wide grip, one set with narrow chinup grip

Shoulders have been wonky lately (but getting better) and my elbows felt kinda strained after BJJ last night so I wanted to keep my upper body pressing and pulling relatively minimal today. Now it's time for a deload week!
 
Workout 11/28/10
Squat: 3x5x265lbs
Bench: 3x5x215lbs
Pendlay BORs: 3x5x195lbs PR!
Pullups: BWx8 (weak -_-)
Chinups: BWx8

Back from deload, felt low energy today and couldn't get my energy level up, but the lifts weren't too bad. My BORs got stronger and it's been a long time since I did them
