There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

Max Strength Training

Started with my patent-pending warmup of 15 burpees/15 sec samson stretch on each leg, repeated 3x. This is the first official strength day of my new program, which is based on the one outlined in Infinite Intensity. I’ll be working on a 2-day split where day 1 is max strength/heavy day and day 2 is explosive/speed strength day.

Heavy day:

  • Squat
    • 4 x 3 x 290lb
  • Press
    • 4 x 3 x 145lb
  • Deadlift
    • 1 x 2 x 365lb
  • Weighted Pullups
    • 3 x 3 x 110lb
  • Weighted Dips
    • 3 x 3 x 100lb

Total time: 50 min. Cruddy day, I had a hard time with pretty much everything. I originally intended to do 2 sets of 3 on the deadlift, but my back didn’t feel so good on my first work set so I cut it short. I think I may have started a little too heavy on some of these numbers and may have to adjust em. Maybe I didn’t allow enough time for recovery from Friday’s session. Maybe it was just an off day.
