Several Training Posts.

Saturday
Sat-no cardio
Sunday 1 hour stepmill
Monday 30 mins stepmill


Terrible day squatting is about all I can say. I gorged on Friday night on doughnuts and chocolate and did no cardio on Saturday morning. The gorging has helped me to have a better day training in the past and I thought it would be the same here. The plan was to do a couple of singles with the suit on at 1000 plus. This was not to be. I warmed up good and took my time. I worked up to 775x1 with briefs on and then suited for 865x1 with the straps down. I then jumped straight to 1005.I made three single attempts with it. Each rep was extremely hard to get out of the rack. The first one was barely a quarter squat so. The secnod was better and litlle deeper but I picked it up too high on my trap. The third was was much better and came up fast. Still high though.
-3 sets of rev hyper
-300lb chain 1/3mile for punishment

My suits need some tightening here and there but I will have to ride with them one more week and then deload. I have to go to the Master's Nationals in two weeks to help the guys out so I will be

Monday Night of a thousand shirt changes
With no cardio and good eating all day long, I went into training thinking I would have a good day. Well, it was not. My 56 is not fitting on the sleeves with the arms jacked so I had to just pull it on. The sleeves are alittle long and slide down the first set of 635x1/two board.I had a bunch of elobow pain so I decided to go up to a 58. I slid on easier butis too loose in the chest plate. I got 725x1/one board but not like I would like. Not happy, I pulled the 58 off and went back to a 56 and did 725x1/1board harder then the first one. I went one more with a soft pad at 725 and sort of got it so I don't really count it.

THen I decided to do some 4 board with the shirt on and that sucked too 675x1 and some piece reps with a closer grip. Waited a second and tried 600 with the pinky on the ring for 3 I think but I was toast way before this. So I pulled the shirt off and did 405x11 off the softy pad. I am having some of the same problems I had in the past with heavier weights and lockouts so I have to find out how to fix them. Weight is holding at 245 still.

Tuesday-back to the cardio grind with 30mins on the stepmill.

Thursday-Too much stuff going on to do my pump up thing and Friday I had to go to Savannah to check on another business venture I am getting into like I need somethng else to do. Saturday Training -Squats full gear. I got a 56 ace suit in to use and I thought it would be tough to go on but it went up decent. I will have to get a few minor adjustment to it. I worded up to 725 in briefs, then suit straps down for 865x1, Straps up for 955x1x2 sets. The first one was terrible. This was the first time in a suit since the...you know..complete shredding of my quad tendon two years ago. It came up bad and was just bad all around. I followed none of basics and got too hyped. I sat down composed myself and thougth about what I was doing wrong. The second one I came back calm and just did the work. Smooth and fast this time. Alittle high but I will take it. Next week I will go up and try some bigger numbers.
Rev hyper 1x50

Thursday 30 mins stepmill

Wednesday training-2nd week of brief work. Same sort of patterm as last week, just alitte more volume. 725x5, 810x3,905x3(knee wraps),810x5(knee wraps)
-Rev hypers 4x12

The squatting went well. Most were alittle Spud high but 2 out of 3 on the 905 and 3 out 5 on the last set of 810 were good. This matched my best brief onlys when i weighed 285-300lb. I am still having some set up issues out of the rack and abs not being tight and pushed out at the start but it is getting better. I have a new ACE suit i will throw on in a couple of weeks to see what is going on. Hopefully, I will get some of the kinks worked out when I start this.
