Sunday, December 10, 2017

Notes after 6 weeks of training - mostly on assistance exercises

A few notes after doing the program for 6 weeks. 
  • bench press has priority over incline, so it should go first. Incline is really an assistance for bench
  • should perform the pullups on upper day rather than lower, so I can do another squat/deadlift assistance instead
  • issues - don't have heavy weights to do flies
  • don't have heavy DBs to do rows - tbar or other
  • squat/deadlift day assistance 
    • hamstrings
    • lower back
    • abs
  • bench day assistance
    • triceps
    • shoulders 
    • upper back/lats
Previous six weeks assistance:
  • on bench day, did high incline, dips, started with reverse bench, moved to flies, sometimes did ab exercises
  • on squat/deadlift day, did split squats, back extensions, sometimes ab exercise, pullups
Plan moving forward on assistance & order of exercises

Bench Day:
  • move incline after bench press
  • add'l bench assistance movements (aside from incline): 
    • dips
    • pullups
Squat/Deadlift Day:
  • back extensions - further forward to get both hamstrings and lower back in movement
  • ab exercise: ab wheel, partner leg raise or parallel bar leg raise

Exact details are work in progress, but for now:

ABAD

A:
Back Squat - work up to max single, then drop set (1 or 2 sets, ~10 reps total). Try to hit at least 90% of max
Pullups
Ab Exercise

 B:
Bench Press - 5/3/1
Dips
BB Row

A

D:
Press 5/3/1
Deadlift 5/3/1
Dips

Goals:
Reach a 200kg squat by October 2018 (long term). Maybe I'll get there sooner, but this is the threshold number. Objective is 8 months.
Continual improvements to bench and press
Limited work with deadlift, just maintain and hope it goes up with squat - not a priority

Friday - 12.4.4

Finished my 12th consecutive cycle of 5-3-1. I've made some solid progress on my deadlift, bench and press, and pullups, but I want to do more with my squat. I feel that it is lagging behind where I want it to be. Excited to do Smolov Jr for the next few weeks and see what I can get. After that, I may move back to 5-3-1 again. Or, since I'm doing the program with a significant deload, if its too easy, maybe I'll do it twice, back to back. Doubt it!

Post Cycle 12 Plan

As of last week, I have been doing 5/3/1 straight for a full year. I've made good progress, especially in the upper body. However, my squat is lagging and I'm having a lot of trouble with it. I'd like to try and get my squat back up to, or near, former numbers (though I am lighter now).

After cycle 12 is complete (including deload), I will run Smolov Jr for my back squat, which I have done twice previously with phenomenal results. I will run it with no more than 90% of my estimated max of 170 kg, with a plan to run it at 155 kg.

Week/Day Program Max
1.1 6x6x109
1.2 7x5x116
1.3 8x4x124
1.4 10x3x132

Sunday morning - failed 12.2.4 (Will reattempt tomorrow)

I'm relatively confident that the reason I failed the squat today is because I was bent over for hours yesterday staining the fence. I will attempt the weight again tomorrow. If I fail, I may take a hard look at the type of squat programming I'm doing, and possibly do something with more squatting. Of the lifts, the squat has been the hardest to bring back up to former numbers, and I'll have failed twice right around the same amount. Once in April, then now.

Back Squat
70 x 4
111 x 3

The first few sets were actually pretty decent. Not sure why 155 was so hard, but it shouldn't have been.
