Colstreamer's 2012 transformation contest log

[Colstreamer]

Busy day at work today so my training was cut kinda short. Still managed my cardio
5 mins warm up easy pace

1 min max effort
3 mins moderate-easy pace
1 min rest - repeated 5 times 29 mins total

Bench- this was all I had time for! Sheesh!
WU
1x20 @ bar
1x6 @ 70kg (154lbs)
1x3 @ 100kg (220lbs)

Work
1x3 @ 120kg
2x4 @ 120kg
1x3 @ 120kg (264lbs)
1x5 @ 110kg (242 lbs)

Felt good to be pushing 5kg less than my old 1 rep max for reps, wish I could have done more today, I wanted to bang out some dips and incline bench. I'm thinking I'll do that on thursday this week. Still a PR for my working weight.

Nice bench, CS...

I kind of wish I could go heavier, but I am seeing the results from high volume lately, so I won't complain...

By the end of the comp I wanna be able to hit 315x1 on decline. I can pump out 255x5 before the start of comp.. so hopefully I gain some strength with the higher volume as well. Watching the T-Nation video now, maybe that will automatically up my bench a bit.

I added 5kg (11kbs) first time I tried that technique. Straight off the bat. 220 felt lighter so I went up to 231 and blasted out 5x5 I wasn't gonna go so heavy on the bench but I knew I didn't have time for anything else so I went as heavy as I could.

If thats the Dave Tate vid then you will add to your bench automatically bader. I wouldnt surprized if you added 20 Lbs.
