Randall, and all that entails......

[TUEFELHUNDEN]

Well, I've been a member for a while now and I thought it would be nice to start a journal. I am currently trying to get stronger and I am in the "race to a 500lb deadlift by 2010." So I did SS for a couple months and got some of my overall strength back and now I am doing Builts' BGB routine. Then with racing season starting I plan to run through a 20-rep squat routine for 8 weeks and concentrate on endurance both for racing MX as well as some sprint triathlons and then returning to some form of 5x5. So, I guess I'll start with Monday's workout here and see where it takes me. My goals are to continue to get stronger while keeping my cardiovascular health intact so I don't suffer with my racing. I've been racing for 6 years now. For the past few years my workout schedule has been more circuit/light weight training and a LOT of running/conditioning so I am super pumped for the change this year. Thanks for stopping by

Current 1rm's ??? I'm working on it lol.

Looks good man. Do you have any problems with arm pump? That was always my biggest problem and still is when I ride. Some people say it's from lifting weights in general and I know others that lift and never get arm pump. A friend of mine is pretty good racing, 1st in A class, and 2nd in ProAm overall this year in the PAMX series. He does not lift, just body weight stuff, core, cardio and rides pretty much all year.

[TUEFELHUNDEN]

For the past 5 years or so. The most I have worked with on a regular basis was 135x20 as a part of a circuit. Because of racing I was afraid to lift heavy and was worried it would hurt my racing. At the end of last summer I tried to start a heavy program and after about 3 weeks I went to Millville MN and got arm pump terribly. My wife has pictures, I basically checked out for the first 2 laps and then hit a wall and I couldn't hang on and got passed. It was very frustrating. Then the following week I raced at the Red Bud GNC and I felt pretty good. For the past few months I have been racing indoors and I haven't experienced any and I have been lifting as heavy as I ever have.

If you research arm pump studies you will find that it is mostly mental. With the way I have been gaining on my lifts I know when I line up I have been triaining harder than anyone I am racing. I know it won't be a problem. Also, when racing I don't drink soda or carbonated beverages. That will pump you up also and caffine will sap the fluids out of you.

My squats bothered me for some reason. I am going to lower my weights for next week and try to hit it hard and ramp back up. I don't want to sacrifice ATG and form for weight. I think it could be because I pulled hard yesterday and my back was fatigued which was hindering my form.

I am going to have to invest in some dumbells. Somthing like 60-110 in 10 lb increments because I only have up to 45lbs. When I do heavier sets I have mini olympic dumbells and I have to clamp on 35's to get up to 80lbs. Its very bulky and It's hard to go any heavier and by the time I get settled with the weights on the bench I am already pretty strained. I had used some 100 & 110 lb dumbells at the Y in Iowa a while back and it was nice.:hump:

Didn't feel up to doing any HIIT tonight. I was kinda tired from working on my kitchen on Tues late so I just ran for a while.
I think I'm going to take it easy on Thurs/Friday because I am going to be figuring out my starting weights for my next program

[ELmx479]

I wish I had motivation to do cardio like you. Does running that much affect your squats? With all the heavy lifting I never feel like doing any cardio.

[L3THAL]

Lookin good Bro! Yeah, the cardio thing really isn't for me either! I checked out the 20 squat program, I'm gonna start it after the one I am on now. Even though it doesn't sound fun!

Bench Press: 205x10, 205x8, 205x7 ~ I seriously felt like crap after doing the squats. This is going to be murder and I tried to start with some fairly conservative weights. I know when rested that I can now get 225x8-10 for reps on my bench but I was totally cashed by then. I can't imagine in 3 weeks that I'll be doing 230x20 squats and then trying to actually do other lifts after.
If it were easy I guess everyone would do it. LOL
Pull Overs: 25x20
Yates Rows: [3] 160x15

Well, that is it. My first workout with the 20 rep program. I think on Monday, which is my first day I'm counting, I will aim for the 8 rep range. I don't want to go totally towards endurance with my lifts and I want to keep it as heavy as I can and intense. I'll see what I can do on Monday.

[TUEFELHUNDEN]

Well. This weekend I put a lot of thought into what I was going to move into for a new program. After going around and around with it, I decided to go with Madcows (or Bill Starr) 5x5 instead of the 20-rep program.

Thanks, I used an Excel file I found online and it works well because you can go through 6 weeks and then reconfigure it so you can deload for 2 weeks and go through it again. It makes it so you don't have to do the math and I do enough math all day so It's nice to not have to do any thinking lol.

On Sunday I biked about 18 miles and then on Monday I did about 20-25. If the weather cooperates I will be biking to work every day so I just have to wait it out. I have also been doing complex's on my off days but I don't feel like including it on here, just my lifting days.

[TUEFELHUNDEN]

Went for a 10-15 mile ride last night and did some complex's. I'm chlling for a couple weeks until the weather comes around. Truth is I've been pretty tired and fatigued lately and I am going to try and get some stuff sorted out and then I think I will get back on my Bill Starr routine. Just been slow at work and I'm not going to be able to race MX for a while until things pick up at work so I'm pretty bummed right now. So I'll see how this weekend goes and maybe re-start on Monday.

I know exactly how you feel about the racing. That is the main reason I don't race quads anymore. I loved it and it was a huge part of my life but so was my credit card debt. You have been doing a ton of working out in all ways possible so I can see how your feeling fatigued. Maybe not so much volume and you should be good to go.

Yeah, because of my biking and running I can't do 3-day squats for now. I was looking around and I am going to give WBB-1 a shot. It looks like it will fit into my schedule very well.

Thanks, its been a tough 2 weeks. I am pretty sick right now. Just a cold but it sucks. I also wasn't sure what I was going to do-lifting wise-but I'm pretty confident that once I feel better and the weather cooperates I'll get back at it. Till then.:lurk:

Man, I am really jealous of your overhead pressing. 60X10, I take it that is 60 per dumbbell, not 60 total.

I've been biking to work for 2 weeks now minus a few days because it was raining n stuff. I am going to go light on Friday because I'm practicing MX on Sat. and I don't want to be worn out. Next Week I'm going to take off and do some Crossfit along with my biking and running but I have my first National next weekend so I want to be well rested. Then the following week I think I'm going to be trying the Crossfit Football program. I think it will be good for my strength as well as improving my cardio for racing.

[tomv]

Crossfit Football looks bad ass man I might try it in a few months. I want to give regular Crossfit a good solid run for now and see what I get out of it so I can compare more accurately when I start CFFB. Good luck with your race and let me know how you go with both that and CFFB.

Just changing things up when I can. CFFB just isn't enough lifting for me. I do the WOD when I can. I don't post when I do the WOD or run or bike. Like yesterday after work I went for a 30 miler.

What sort of racing do you do by the way mate? I've noticed your sponsor signature 10million times and never thought to comment on it.

Yeah, for sure! I just don't post any of my cardio. I do some sort of cardio 5-6 days a week. I bike 15-20 miles 4 days +/- a week along with jogging the other days.


I race ATV motocross. I haven't gotten out much this year because of money because work is pretty slow right now.

Not too bad actually. Endurance isn't really my issue haha. The front squats are deff. harder on your core so it wasn't very rough on my legs.

Was 240 Bench a PR Teuf? How'd it feel?

No, I did 255 a couple months ago but I have taken off about 15lbs. bodyweight and have been doing a ton of cardio for my Triathlon/racing so I can't quite get as much up. It didn't feel too bad though.

Yup!! This is the last week of it though. The BGB routine calls for leg press but I just started front squats and I like them better so thats what I'm goign to do.

Next week is off to prepare for my next Tri. and then I move to my 1-on 2-off workout.

I added this to the GPP thread but I also wanted to have it here.

So I took last week off from lifting to recover so I would be ready for the "Pardeeville Triathlon" on Saturday. I was pretty pumped, the weather was perfect, the water was like glass and I ended up besting my last time by 9 minutes. Here are my numbers.

Swim 1/4 mi: 7:56
T1: 2:46
Bike 15 mi: 43:33
T2: 1:40
Run 3.5 mi: 24:34
OA: 1:20:27

I finished 12/72 in my division and 72/199 out of the men and 84/335 of total participants. It was pretty cool!

Good work in here, still stronger than me! Got to see some really good racing this past weekend at the national. I was at the last turn before the finish when Byrd and Creamer got tangled up. I'm sure you will see the pics, Wimmer took the overall. Best part was the track is only 12 miles from my house :evillaugh:

[TUEFELHUNDEN]

Thanks EL! Yeah, its hard because my bench has really been suffering because I have been doing so much cardio. My squats haven't been as bad, I'd assume from biking so many hills :( lol. Yesterday I did 50 miles and Sunday AM I ran 6. This sunday I'm doing a 5k for our town festival and they have free beer at the end so my brother and I will be getting tanked AHHAHAHAHA.
