[BackAtIt]

Going back to my roots.... SST = specialized strength training. It used to have Oly training + PLing but slowly dropped most of the Oly lifting. Well.... I'm going back and I'm adding another angle to it... SM.

I was talking to a friend of mine (who competed in WSM) who pointed out a very good fact, I'm focused on school so my diet, prehab, etc has taken a huge hit. He suggested looking up the WR in different sports and than taking 50% and attacking those numbers. It would be a fun way to keep training for strength, but also put myself in a realm of something that I can do while focusing on school.

I'm also coming back from an injury this year so this will be a fun way to push myself and do something different.

SO... 50% (I'm rounding up)...All raw numbers. I'll still use a belt and sleeves BUT NO wraps.

Deadlift ~ 510
Squat ~ 530
Bench ~ 370
Axle Press (strict)~ 240
Log C&P ~ 255
Axle C&P ~ 240
Farmers Walk ~ 175 per handle 60ft
Yolk ~ 550 60ft

Once I hit those numbers (some of those I've already hit but I'll be working back up to them since the injury) I'll raise them. This should be fun and a nice change of pace. It'll also probably lean me up some which SS will like.

Awesome all around numbers, brah!...Keep on, keeping on!!!!

Thank GOD... my gym is still open. I was informed though that there is pressure for it to close during the COVID outbreak. I won't go into a debate about what I think. I will say I'm in school for microbio so I wish people would stop telling me what to do.

I'm going to change my layout after this block. I think pulling 2x week isn't giving me enough time to rest/ recovery (esp. my CNS)

Since my gym is keeping training time to under 40min I'm abridging my training. You'll notice I'm performing 2 big movements and then 1 or 2 accessory lifts. If it's a very heavy day it'll be 1 big lift and 1 accessory and if it's speed it'll be 2 and 2. I'm just happy to still have a gym to train in since my state has implemented a curfew and most businesses have closed up for now.

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted in here.

I'll have to update my log. Training has been going well but school is kicking my ass. I'm taking Org2 and I basically have to teach myself which is no easy task.

That was one of my Achilles heels in Pharmacy school. I assume you are talking Chem.

I was worried that BI had lost his way back again.

How did you do in Orgy1? I failed because I don't play well with others.

Making light of serious matters is not tolerated here ToS, and may lead to some smartass observing that playing well with self is not adequate preparation for playing well with others.

I would get an A in orgy1 cept SS wouldn't be too happy.

I wound up getting an A in lecture and lab for Org 1. This prof for Org 2 is crazy. She covered the whole semester in 7 weeks. Not sure what she's going to teach us now.
