foxyj75 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) 3/4/09' Upper body work. Here's what went down: Dips-- 1x5xBW WU 4x5xBW+90lb(345# total) 2x10xBW Wrist Roller-- 2.5'' dia., with 80lbs. attached (PR!! added 10 lb.) all the way up, down, and reverse. 3 sets till failure. Really works the thumbs as well. KB press from base of back of neck-- 2x10x24k each arm (smokes the tris.) Shrugs-- 2x10x48k 'bell in front/ each arm 2x10x48k 'bell in back/ each arm Decided I may not implement the Louis Simmons plan after all. It seems like a good one, but is a whole lot more complicated than I am looking for at the moment. I am going to stick to basics for right now, as I am still getting good gains with em'.

easyWeight Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Heh, I wouldn't argue with WSBB method being complicated There are plenty of good routines out there though. Are you going to stick with the 5x5 then? Like my buddy said last night, "it doesn't matter where you're getting the gains from, as long as you're getting them."

I think I'm gonna stick with the high weight/low reps on most things and just keep pushing until the gains stop. Then I'll change it up.

foxyj75 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) 3/10/09' Deadlifts. Haven't done these in months. I am tall, and have a long torso, so my leverage sucks for DL. Set a decent PR though. Here's what went down: DL's-- 1x5x135 WU 1x5x225 WU 1x1x365 1x1x415 PR!! 2xFAILx435 Got it to my knees. Off the floor was easy, so I'll have to do some rack pulls soon to beef up the weak range. 1x1x415 1x5x345 1x4x345 1x5x315 Finished up with a set of 10 kettlebell swings with the beast.

easyWeight Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Man some nice entries on your last log there! Easy Huge Shiny? Haha, awesome! And an easy 15 reps with 10lb sledge? How big of a sledge can you lever overhead? You should be good for at least a 20, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big of a sledge can you lever overhead? You should be good for at least a 20, eh? Thanks Darin! I have levered a 20lb. to the face before, as well as to the rear. I also levered a crazy(20+ lb. I think?) log hammer Scott George brought to Gripmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
