Deadlifting my way to Happiness - Al420's log

Nice work brother!

Weight this AM: 234.5

Todays workout:

BTN Push Press:bar x10, 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 155x5, 160x5 -PR
Flat Bench:190x5x5
DB Incline: 60x15x3


Push Presses are really easy on the way up - I mean really easy - the way down is a completly different story. ALmost lost 155 behind my back on the way down - I think it was my 2nd rep, but I caught it (barely) and finished my set. Good thing is I never hit my spine today - every rep landed on my traps which was a nice change of pace!

Did some tricep work as well - pushdowns and some DB Skuls - wasted them

lol, you probably couldn't miss your traps if you tried at this point. Nice PR and jump on flat bench.

Thanks CS - bench is finally going up. I have big plans for it.

Nice push pressing bro!! those suckers can be awkward until you get in the groove.

Dip-Drive-Press-Dip is what i keep reminding myself during the lift. It's that last Dip part that chaps my ass sometimes, lol.

You keep this up and your legs will be bigger than the guy in your avi (is that platz?). I've been out of commision this past week due to a damn abcess, so reading these training logs has been keeping sane.

[Weight this AM: 236.5

Yesterdays workout:

Back Squats:135x10, 185x5, 225x5, 275x5, 315x5, 365x2 - everything flet heavy. more details below
Deadlifts: passed
EZBar Preacher Curl: 45x10, 65x10, 85x8x5
superset w/
Decline Abs:BW x20x6


Did some other various bicep stuff. Not a good workout at all. My lower back was overly pumped again (deloading the bar was a bitch). I should have killed 365x5 but for whatever reason everything felt heavy. I think I have it figured out - my traps are sore from jump shrugs and I am not used to the way heavy weights feel on sore traps - just got to learn to work around it - need to do some heavy walkouts or something. Did deads on Sunday so there was no way I was doing them today - just trying to get back to my schedlue so this week had a forced day (sunday)

No training today. May go box but no lifting.

Thanks Sarge - I have been neglecting the 2nd dip - so that is on the way down?

Jump Shrugs are a bit strange at first. I am still working on them but they kill my traps.

You keep this up and your legs will be bigger than the guy in your avi (is that platz?). I've been out of commision this past week due to a damn abcess, so reading these training logs has been keeping sane.

I would love that - yes, it's Platz. Take care of that abcess bro - not fun.

i tried jump shrugs today but i didn't like them. i tweaked my shoulder probably cuz i didn't do it right.

think i'll just stick to regular ol' high pulls from snatch.
