10s Wave – Intensification Phase: Deadlift: 3/28/16
Still not as much sleep as I wanted but felt better as I start the day (5-6/10).
Lifts went well but really tough doing the 10s sets.
Got myself a Shoulderok and hope it is a good investment.
Otherwise a good training day. Read the rest of this entry »
10s Wave – Intensification Phase: Bench Press: 3/25/16
Not enough sleep as I wanted and average feeling as I start the day (5/10).
Bench Press day has to be the easiest compared to the other lifting days after finishing the 1st phase.
Good session overall. Read the rest of this entry »
10s Wave – Intensification Phase: Squat: 3/21/16
Not as much sleep as I wanted and felt average as I start the day (5/10).
Body slowly adapting to the volume.
Just need to make my sessions shorter somehow.
10s set still sucks! Read the rest of this entry »
10s Wave – Accumulation Phase: Overhead Press: 3/18/16
Not as much sleep as I wanted and felt decent for the day (5/10).
Surprised that it didn’t take as long to recover from Monday’s session.
Guess I won’t find out until next Monday’s squat session if my body has adapted to the new program or not.
Only issue with today’s session was that I haven’t really done a heavy front squat and just did some guestimate calculation based of my back squat.
Bad idea!
Will change my training max for the front squat next session.
Otherwise a fun and good day! Read the rest of this entry »
10s Wave – Accumulation Phase: Deadlift: 3/14/16
Good amount of sleep and felt good as I start the day (6/10).
Energy level was decent but it dipped after the deadlift session and picked back up after my first assistance work.
This much volume for deadlifts sucks!
Was debating what pressing variation to do today.
Original plan was some paused bench press but decided on using the new Standing Power Press.
Session went well and was feeling good until I did the Short Lactic Capacity Sled Sprints.
That last thing made me feel like dying! Read the rest of this entry »
10s Wave – Accumulation Phase: Bench Press: 3/11/16
Great amount of sleep and felt decent as I start the day. (5/10)
Energy level stayed steady the whole session.
Realized that I forgot to take my training max for weighted dips and chin-ups so tried to find it during my accessory work.
My body finally fully recovered yesterday after Monday’s squat session.
WOW!
Due to not used to the volume and intensity it took that long to feel normal again.
Hope my body adapts to the program sooner than later!
Otherwise a good session.
PS:
There’s a couple new Competition Bench Press platforms at my gym and its nice! Read the rest of this entry »
10s Wave – Accumulation Phase: Squat: 3/7/16
Semi-decent amount of sleep and felt average as I start the day (5/10).
Kinda excited for my first session.
Decided to use the Texas Squat Bar and it weighs 55 lbs by itself.
All I can say is I am not used to so much volume and will need a while to get used to this.
Good session overall. Read the rest of this entry »
