This will be my training log. I intend to use this log to track my progress, be held accountable, by myself and others, and to motivate myself to achieve my goals and hopefully inspire others to achieve theirs too.

Deadlift: 500 lbs. 

Certify on CoC #3  

Current 1RMs:

Let the training begin!

Deadlift: 1x3 @ 335lbs. ~ This was tougher than I expected. Trying to pull sumo from now on. It puts me in a more advantageous position for my short arms and long back, but more importantly it allows me to have a flat back whereas I struggle to get into position for conventional. 

OHP: 3x5 @ 155 lbs. ~ Last 2 sets I only got 4 reps. Rushing a bit w/ 3 mins rest. Will repeat this weight next OHP session w/ 5 mins rest. 

Seated cable row: 3x5 @ 185lbs. 

Lateral raises: 3x8 @ 25lbs. 

Single hand dumbbell deadlift w/ Bat Black Manus Grips: 5x1 @ 90lbs. ~ These were pretty tough. The dumbbells at my gym are about 1.25” in diameter makes the Manus Grips go out to about 2.25”-2.40”. Thumbs are a weak point for me. Hoping to progress well on this. 

Barbell wrist curls: 3x20 @ 60lbs.

Squat: 3x5 @ 325lbs. ~ Felt a little wonky. Couldn’t find my Oly shoes so I lifted in my Nanos. Also first time using my new knee sleeves. Still felt strong; just different with the change in gear. 

Grippers: Warmed up with the 1.5 & 2 between squat sets. Had three attempts at the 2.5 and got within 1mm of closing it with a 15mm set with the RH. Within 6mm on the LH. Feeling confident I will close it RH on the next workout. Dropped down and did 1x2 CC set with the #2 RH. Could not close it left handed. This is all between sets on squats. 

Chin-ups: 3x5 @ 257lbs BW. ~ A little too much body english on the last couple reps. Looking to get these nice and crisp. 

Attaching a low quality video of my 2.5 attempt. You can’t really see the markings clearly, but I’ll worry about taking a clearer vid when I actually close it.

Bench Press: 3x5 @ 225lbs. ~ I only managed 4 reps on the last set. More accurately I missed the last rep. Had to do the old shimmy and shake to get the bar down to my waist so I could sit up. I will repeat this weight next week.

Skullcrushers: 3x8 @ 90lbs. on EZ Curl bar.  ~ Felt strong. 

Seated Cable Row (w/ wide bar LPD attachment): 3x8 @ 180 lbs.

Pinch Block (This is a homemade pinch block fabbed from a scrap piece of 4x4 and an eye bolt.):  3x5 second holds @ 42.5lbs.

OHP: 3x5 @ 155lbs. ~ Finished all reps. 

Hip Thrusts: 3x8 @ 285 lbs. ~ First time doing this movement. Felt pretty good. Stronger glutes are probably never a bad thing.

Chin ups. 3x5 @ 262lbs. BW ~ Still a lot of body english. Last set was pretty trashy. Held last rep on each set @ 90° for 5 seconds.

Dumbbell Biceps Curls: 3x8 @ 45lbs.

Lateral Raises on Cable Crossover: 3x10 @ 15 lbs. ~ Pretty exhausted at this point. Ready to throw in the towel, but gotta finish. 

Single Hand Dumbbell Deadlifts w/ Bat Black Manus Grips: 5x1@ 95lbs. 

Dumbbell Wrist Curls: 3x20 @ 35lbs. 

Finished. Exhausted.

Squat: 3x5 @ 335lbs. ~ Felt strong today. 

Grippers: 1mm from RH closing 2.5 again. Could be all the other grip work affecting me negatively, but probably just that I’ve been doing only single attempts with the 2.5. Will warm up and complete 3xAMRAP with the 2 next week. 

Seated Cable Row w/ straight bar: 3x5 @ 220lbs. ~ Felt a little heavy. Will repeat this weight next week. 

Face pulls: 2x15 @ 55lbs.
