Rageahol: Enright’s log of S&P, wrath and fury - Page 12

Thanks for the insight. Incidentally, I might actually have to travel for 5 days for an 1 hour interview. Then a few more days for another few interviews, and that would be it. The rest of the time would be spent on the beach and trying to avoid food poisoning. I'm putting together my proposal now, but thoughts of doubt are holding me back and actually making me waste time in consideration.

SOHP:
115x5
135x5
150x5

Push Press:
185x3
205x1
225x1
235x0 (1 inch from lockout)
235x0 (1/2 inch form lockout and lost balance slightly – this is pussy bullshit)
235x1 (PR +10; finally)

When I missed the second attempt at 235, I yelled “fuck” loudly. When I turned around, all the bench/curl monkeys and old ladies were staring at me.

I push press better when I am angry. When I am pissed, I explode through the lift much more effectively.

**** Must focus on new-found hatred of Misses and Standard when pressing ****

Bench:
225x3
265x1
270x1
275x0 (spotter touched the bar – God I suck at the bench – I don’t lift explosively off the chest)
225x11 (PR)

I have been doing mostly 5x5 on bench. I am going to start working in some singles, doubles and triples. My problem is off the chest. It is more of a technique problem than a strength issue. I need to get used to lifting explosively off the chest with heaver weight.

CGBP:
225x3

Push Press:
205x1
205x1

I hit a couple PRs, which is nice, but my bench technique needs some work.

Squat Day

I am trying to stagger the intensity of my ME squats and deads because I am having trouble going 90-95% 1rm Friday’s squats and then same for Monday’s deads. I would describe this squat day as a “medium” intensity; each rep was hard, but I felt I had a lot left in me. This also worked well because I did some complexes yesterday and my entire body is sore, especially my lower back. I need to be careful because I am coming of a back injury.

Back Squat, ATG

135x5
225x5
275x5
315x1

Box Squats: Box + 45 measured to 12 inches (as Louie Simmons recommends – not a touch and go)

315x1
315x1
315x1
315x1
315x1
315x1
315x1
315x1
315x1
315x1

Front Squats, ATG

275x2
275x2
275x2
275x2
275x2

Chins:

Bw x2
Bw +25 x ¾ + one neg.
Bw x2
Bw +20 x1 + one neg.
Bx x2
Bx +20 x 8/10 + one neg.
Bw x 2

This was the first time I added some weight to Chins – so I was not exactly sure how this would go.

Back squat

315x1

Overall not bad – I hate lowering the intensity a bit, but it hope this makes for better overall progress in both my squat and deads.

nice box squat work!

enright3060 · 07-13-2007, 06:16 PM

Thanks Mschatz - I like box squats. I think I am going to use them every other squat workout. Plus, I am trying to get ready for a PR squat at the end of the month for the Graedy’s video and my church video.

**mschatz** · 07-13-2007, 06:18 PM

what are you predicting?

enright3060 · 07-13-2007, 06:41 PM

Not really sure. Last time I maxed out was April and I did 385 without too much trouble. I plan on doing 405 and if that goes up pretty easy, I will try 425/430ish. I don't think I will have a spotter so I have to be careful – plus, I have been a little cautious with my stupid back (but it is pretty solid right now). Next week, I am going try to do 365 for reps. Depending on how that goes, I should have a better idea of where my 1rm will stand.

Is the idea to hit a 45 degree angle, hence 12" for you?

Nice front squats too Beastor!

Thanks man – I think that is correct. I do an athletic squat and I try to get a full range of motion. I am trying to get the box depth that is similar to bottom my back squats.
