Yesterday - Rest day
Today
BP - 5x3 @ 177.5 lbs
SQ - 5x3 @ 205 lbs
WCU - 5x3 @ 177.7 lbs
5 rounds of 10-second RKC plank, 12 T2Bs - I like to do one set before starting to BP, one set before starting to SQ, and one set before starting to WCU. Then I do a set after WCUs, 2 minute rest, and then the final set.

Re: mikhou's training log
Fobbit Interval / E / Fun Run - I warmed up with an easy half mile and then did some warm-up sets for OHP plus my first working set. Then I repeated another half mile run followed by a set of OHP repeating this up to 5 sets. I then switched to straight-leg deadlift. So I completed:
4 miles @ half mile each
5x3 OHP @ 110 lbs.
2x3 SLDL @ 197.5 lbs.
This is my last Op I/A session for this cycle. I'll take the next week and do a couple of Tango Sessions, an easy 30 minute run, and just get some rest. Then I'll up my TM a bit and run it again.

Today
BP - 5x5 @ 152.5 lbs
SQ - 5x5 @ 177.5 lbs
WCU -5x5 @ 153.5 lbs
5 rounds of 1 minute plank, 10 T2Bs - I like to do one set before starting to BP, one set before starting to SQ, and one set before starting to WCU. Then I do a set after WCUs, 2 minute rest, and then the final set.
Started a new Op I/A / Zulu mash-up today. It's not hard to explain, but I'm not necessarily going to take the time to lay it all out. It's basically Op I/A with an hour long Fobbit Interval on the back end using OHP and SLDL. It's the same thing that I've been running for 3 cycles now so you can get an idea of how I'm running it by looking back over the logs. The only other thing to throw out there is that I did a cycle at 90% TM and 93.3% TM. This one will be at 96.7% TM and then the next at 100% TM before rest days and testing.
No, I'm not the strongest guy on the forums, but I look good and feel good and at 44yo with a small stature, I'm very pleased with where I am both with my strength and conditioning levels.

Cheers, mate. Totally agree. I wish I had this type of mind set in my youth...mikhou wrote:I look good and feel good and at 44yo with a small stature, I'm very pleased with where I am.

Re: mikhou's training log
Thanks, Bark. I wish that I had started serious strength training when I was younger and had more natural ability to grow in strength, but I didn't. I focused on distance running with almost zero strength training. So just to be comfortable under the bar, to see steady strength gains, and to see some muscle in the mirror is enough for me.Barkadion wrote:Cheers, mate. Totally agree.
