Hey everyone, I've been reading throughout this site for a while now and have decided to log my workouts on here. Hopefully I'll get some added motivation and much needed criticism.
A little bit about me: I'm about 6'3 230lbs, played baseball thru high school and have been training for around 3 years. This past Septemeber, I started 5-3-1 and loved it. Made some great progress but decided to give the Conjugate Method a shot about 2 months ago. I've never competed in a meet but have every intention of doing so in the future. I'm a student at Penn State and my schedule is hectic and I'm looking forward for the summer break to get in some good training.
It's finals week here and I have 2 more to go on Friday then I'm done. Here's my workout from today, I'll post more info on my training later after finals.
DE Squat/Deadlift
Box Squats: Since theres no box, I stack 7 45lb plates on each other, it is about 4 inches below parallel, my ass is well below my knees.
70% -> 235 x 10 x 2
*these were good, I recently realized I was placing the bar too far up on my back, and I moved it down a solid 3 inches or so, while the weight felt much lighter, it will take time to get used to the new placement.
Speed Deads
60% 255 3 Sumo and 3 Conventional
Conventional Deads
315x1
375x1
405x1
425x1 * PR, Haven't pulled heavy in a while, wanted to get a PR
Dimel Deads
135x3x10
Lunges
40's x 3x10
Glute Ham Raises
2x10
Abs
Good session for me, I'll post more tomorrow.
