@Perrin Aybara so about those dreams lol. I pulled a double yesterday and it kicked my ass. 6am - 10pm was a long day man. I got home, cleaned up and hit the sack. I slept well all night but did have some crazy dreams. I'm not sure if I have been having them and just wasn't aware? I smoke pot at the end of everyday and I'm pretty sure that suppresses dreams or at least the memory of, in some people. either way they were vivid. Last time I can remember having dreams like that was when I quit smoking camel red lights. I used the gum, worked great. Before that I tried the patch and that gave me the most insane dreams. I actually discontinued use because that were so crazy.

Bailed on the workout last night. Life got in the way. My goddaughter turned 1 and the wife and I have been busy getting ready for a big party this afternoon. So I crushed it this morning.

Late workout for monday. Very rested and feeling like I am in a different place fundamentally. Bailed on Saturdays workload, life caught up to me. I believe that is why I am so rested. I needed it...

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Is next week your mock meet?

 

[ickyrica]

yeah buddy, getting excited

 

[Perrin Aybara]

What are you thinking for your attempts? You gonna pull five hundo?

 

[ickyrica]

Gonna try lol. I'm hoping to get into the 1300s total. I would like 500 on DL, 450 on squat and it would be cool to get 400 on bench but I think I may fall short on that tall order!

 

[Perrin Aybara]

First attempt = something you can hit a triple with anytime.
Second attempt = something you can hit for a double.
Third attempt = PR based on how that second one felt.

 

[ickyrica]

Felt great again. Did three sets on db rows, 30/30/18. Feel the burn

Edit, BB rows, duh!

Forgot to post Friday's session lol. Two days to post it is. Went a little heavy on DL, will take it easy the rest if the way. Just trying to get a good feel for my max attempt later this week

You made any decisions on what your attempts are going to be?

I was thinking 5 on DL, 385 min on bench and 450+ squat. I want into the 1300s mainly

 

[ickyrica]

Last work out before max attempts. Feeling good, no complaints other than feeling like a slacker in the gym this week! Can't wait!!

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Eat a bunch of carbs and get some sleep the next few days. Maybe stretch some.

 

[ickyrica]

Carbs and stay loose. Check. Steak still ok? Haha. When is it not!!

 

[insaiyan93]

Well im late to this but i am here tonoffer moral support hahs

 

[ickyrica]

How would you guys break up the max? I was thinking DL one day and bench/squat the next.

DL - warm up sets. First real pull @ 405, 2nd @ 455, 3rd @ 500.

Bench - warm up sets. First real push @ 315, 2nd @ 345, 3rd @ 385.

Squat - warm up sets. First push @ 365, 2nd @ 405, 3rd @ 450.

Does this seem ok? I know the weight may be lighter or a little heavier depending on the day but does the progression up to the max seem ok?

Squat landed at 462#, I fought like hell to get it. if it were 465 I would have failed, 100%. had a serious hitch point but pushed through it. This is actually a video, just need to get to a computer to load it.



Bench landed at 350#, fought hard for that rep as well. Not sure what happened there? Was hoping for a better number but being off cycle I'm not going to complain. The rep was a solid 4/5 seconds and took a shit ton of energy out of me. Max was a 'did not attempt', I knew I didn't have it in me. No video or pics of the 350, was going to get media on the next rep

So after running the whole program, what do you think of it?

 

[ickyrica]
