Master Of Puppets: Metal to Iron

[MasterOfPuppets]

I had a journal here before, but it's kinda old lol.

I figure the more I post my workouts up, the more I will stay motivated to lift.

Today:

Flat Barbell Bench: 145x8

Incline DB Bench: 40x8/ 45x8/ 50x5/ 55x5

Squats: 205x5/ 225x5/ 235x5

Snatch: 95x1/ 95x1/ 95x1/ 95x1

Weighted Dips: +10x10/ +25x10

Weighted Chins +10x3/ +10x3

I did a couple other insignificant things. My workouts usually don't have this much volume lol.

[MasterOfPuppets]

Today in practice we did 5 fronts, 10 powers, 5 glides, then 5 more of whatever else we needed to work on.

Then we did about 10 minutes of form work on discus, and that concluded the practice.

I was consistently throwing about 32 feet, my furthest throw was probably between 35 and 36. I hope to get that to 40-42 by the end of the season.

Lifting tomorrow.

They closed the weight room early today for whatever reason, so I couldn't get my whole workout in. Everything felt light but I was just tired. The whole losing an hour's sleep screwed me up a little.

Comments:
Took it easy and made the workout really short today. I was going on the 3rd hour after I ate my pre-workout meal which was not good. I doubt I will lift heavy on Wednesday either because of time constraints. Friday will be when I go for some PRs unless we have a lot of time to lift on Wednesday.

Comments:
Cleans were good and fast. Bench was obv. not that explosive. Squats felt good and explosive. I used a more "athletic" stance than usual. Dips got easier as they went on. I got a good stretch while doing chins.

Overall: A: this was a good workout coming off of break. I'm gonna try and "hulk up" now. I picked up some BCAAs to sip during school, some creatine mono and I have upped my caloric intake. I will buy some more whey when I run out as well.

Nice job dude. Staying consistent. Keep it up man.

I am starting to lift weights/ do other workouts early in the morning, so I am struggling with the time change. I was spent after this workout.

1 mile run:
Untimed. I was dogging it regardless. I gotta get in better shape haha.

Comments:
Bench- easy. Front squats- my back was extremely tight and it was very uncomfortable (and I thought I was going to injure myself). I just have to do a few warmup sets next time. OH pressing felt good. With the thick bar, my forearms got a good workout. Running- I am out of shape.

Overall: B+

OK workout. I felt rushed. I just picked up the book Dinosaur Training by Brooks Kubik. Should be a good read, and as the weather gets warmer you will probably see me outside doing more sandbag workouts, etc.

Comments:
For whatever reason I threw up the grape juice/ creatine JUST before I went out, so I just slurped another serving down and went right outside. I threw my pwo shake up too and did the same thing and just made another one. Workout was good though, not tiring at all.
