How do you like Bulgarians? One of my favorites! I find it to be perfect for BB with just body weight version. I remember almost injuring myself with heavy load. Would be very interesting to see your progress. Cheers.mikhou wrote:BP - 5x6 @ 150 lbs

Re: mikhou's training log
Hey, Bark. I just started BSS's. Hence the reason that I'm using such low weight and building linearly. I'm taking a GSLP type of approach to linear progression with them. Once I get a solid estimated 1RM, I'll start using them TB style. As I said earlier, I'm assuming that my form is breaking down once I get heavy with back squats, and my knees aren't happy about it. So I'm hoping that keeping the load lighter by using a unilateral movement will allow me to progress without my knees getting upset about it. While I would love to get a lot stronger in the big 3, end of the day, my biggest concern is staying functionally fit as I get older.Barkadion wrote:How do you like Bulgarians? One of my favorites!

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
5x6 OHP @ 92.5 lbs.
2x6 SLDL @ 172.5 lbs.

It's supposed to be a rest day, but I helped my brother pour concrete while adding a bathroom onto his house. It wasn't too bad. The mixing truck was in the front yard and I was part of a crew of four guys hauling wheelbarrows of concrete to the back yard where the addition is going. It was intense work for short periods of time - sort of HIC-like.
