Hey there IronMagazine folks. Old time IM poster/mod here. Every once in a while I like to pop my head in here. This time, it's in an attempt to keep a journal. I feel like it will help with my consistency. By average person standards I have remained consistent, but not by mine. I have had numerous setbacks where I floundered and didn't lift as much as I'd like, nor with the gusto that I like. I've been pretty good lately, and I thought this would help keep up the momentum. Just starting to do some stuff based around the Westside template again, for the first time in many years. So, here is my first workout:
Speed Bench RI60
45x5
95x3
160x8x3
Miltary Press RI180
45x5
95x3
125x3
150x5x3
Pulldown RI90
#12x10, 10, 10, 6, 5
Dips RI90
+25x2x10
BWx9, 7, 6
Face Pull RI90
#6x3x12
Superset RI30
Curls
70x10
55x10
DB Skulls
27sx12, 8
First time doing dynamic effort work in ages, save for the occasional kettlebell swings or jumping onto a box during a conditioning circuit. Felt pretty fast. Military press was super easy, and fast/strong on all sets. For the rest of the work, I'm emphasizing the negative a little bit since the goal of the remaining accessory work is mass building. Thus, my numbers are garbage. Whatever though, I was happy with this.
