MP,
Will you need to cut a lot of weight to make class or are you pretty close to the weight limit?

I love watching your numbers progress with that Bulgarian shit. Get it!
Good log man. I'm getting ready to do a Coan circuit on deads myself. Always good to see other people's numbers to get a little push.
Hopefully only somewhere between 7 and 10 pounds in the last couple of weeks.
Thanks brother, I feel good going in so I'm pretty excited.
Good luck with it dd. Have you ever run Coan before.

Started a 12 week coan based training cycle, but my lifting partner steered us away from it by about week 8. It's like pulling teeth to keep him going on deadlift anyway. I think the speed lifts and the power shrugs bug him for some reason. I'm waiting for him to start ditching deadlift day and i'll go it on my own and see how it goes. I've been stuck at 565 for a single for a long while and was looking for something to nudge me over the edge.
The biggest problem is that my partner is a bench freak and his world revolves around that. I have finally got him to accept/like squatting, but his bench will remain above his dead until the switch flips in his head. Bench comes too easy for him and deadlift is on the other side. I know if i was benching 500 and deadlifting 425 i would be doing everything i could to flip those around, but different strokes for different folks i guess.

Coan is worth trying for a full run IMO. Even though I generally miss a few reps during the program my meet results have always been good after running it.

double overhand sumo pulls 5x225, 3x275, 2x325, 1x375, 1x425
bent rows 3x8 225
face pulls 10x90, 100, 110
ab pulldowns 15x120, 2x12 130
Since I did my regular deadlifting session on Monday instead of Tuesday this week I really should have done this session yesterday to give myself an extra day before next regular pulling session but I didn't think about it until after. Everything went smoothly so not making the adjustment shouldn't be a big deal.

First day of Bulgarian method benching. Will be benching 6 days per week (everyday but Tuesday) into the meet. Two slight changes from last go around. My plan is to work up to max double and a max triple once each week rather than max singles everyday.
The other thing I'm going to try to concentrate on is not getting pumped up for any reps during training. I find this tough to do as the weight gets heavier but it is the way the program is supposed to be run and I think the way it will prove most effective on meet day if I can pull it off.
I'm starting from at a higher top weight than I have ever done before which takes some of the pressure off to make big jumps. Below is today's 360.

If you are avoiding a pump (which makes sense) how long in between sets?
You on or off cycle right now? Or trt
More trying to avoid using adrenalin during training than avoiding a pump. As low rep as I go benching using this method a pump really doesn't come into play. Most guys running the program seem to get a 5 to 10% boost over their training numbers on meet day where I have been right about the same on my meet days as I am during training at the end of the cycle. I think it is because I'm getting too much adrenalin going on training days so that when I get to meet day it isn't much different than a training day.
Rest between sets is relatively short for the first several sets, probably around 60 seconds. Gets longer the last couple, at least 2 minutes but I don't time. Add weight to the bar, take a drink of water and go when I'm ready.
I don't do AAS as they are illegal where I live however if they were legal I would imagine I would have probably have started Test P at 150mg EOD and NPP at 100mg EOD this week and run it for the next 8 weeks into the meet.

Week 4 Coan Deadlift
Deads 2x315, 2x375, 1x425, 1x475, 2x520
"speed" deads 5x3 435
3 circuits
bent rows 8x225
underhand lat pulldowns 8x210
good mornings 8x165
I find week 4 of Coan to be the toughest. First rep at 520 moved pretty well while the 2nd rep was a bid of a grinder. Nothing "speedy" about the last three triples at 435, in fact they were a bit of a gut check and I was happy to get through all five sets.
Looking at this session on paper it doesn't seem that gut wrenching but it is.

Agreed, and i don't remember liking week 5 either. Good for you though.

365 moved much slower than I would have liked but went up. Based on how 360 went up on Monday I thought 365 would move a little faster than it did. I will be taking smaller jumps for a while until I get back in the groove of daily heavy benching.

squats 5 sets 15-8 top set was 8x255 (Right knee has been bothering me so stayed very light and higher rep
leg curls 2x12 90, 10x100
GHR's 16, 15
F'ing allergies were the worse they have been all spring today. Left 5 to 10 pds. in the tank on top bench double. My hamstrings knew I had worked out at the end of the session. Actually, felt better when I was done with this than when I started.

Does the knee only hurt during lifting or does it bother you consistently throughout the day?
