Chris Anderson's training log V. 2.0-- Tom Kallas is a dead man

looks good, jeff

hey op, looks good

it looks like you relax your lumbar to hit depth and that your knees are not locked out

2/28, noon session-

Deadlift, accumulation week 4

Block pulls, two inches below knee cap-
5x3@425

Deficit deadlift, off of a 45lb bumper plate-
4x5, 1x4@365

Notes: Really focused on trying to keep my lumbar in good position throughout the day. I feel like I did a really good job with this on the block pulls, and an "okay" job while deficit pulling. Grip went to shit on the last couple reps of deficit pulls, so I called it after four on the last set. Video to come.




2/28, afternoon session-

Bench press active deload, week one

Fat gripz bench-
Work up to 275x3
2x8@225

Inverted rows- 5x10

Notes: I kind of like inverted rows as another lat movement. I will rotate them in every now and then.

Every lift is now ready for a deload. After next week, I being the intensification phase for everything.

3/2-

Bench active deload, week two

Bench-

44x5
89x5
111x5
132x5
176x3
198x3
218x3
242x3
262x7
2x8@220


Ring pullups- a lot, mostly in between bench sets
Overhead tricep extensions w/band- a ton
Curlz- some

Notes: So 262x7 beats the hell out of my 265x5 rep PR from a while back, and I had at least two more reps in the tank--this set was easy as hell. I widened my grip out a little bit further and we will see where this gets me. I think it will be helpful in the long run. My elbow felt great all day today. I did more band traction before benching and I think doing a pulling movement in between each set helped a bit, too. After that, it was just some isolation work.

3/3-

Squat deload

Squat-
3x5@240

Paused deadlifts-
3x3@225
2x3@275

HS low rows- 3x8

Notes: Really focused on my upper back on this session, seeing as the weights were light anyway. Wide stance is feeling better and better. Sitting back more is working well.

looks good OP

n00b status right here but: Where are you lifting in that video? The field house? I've never been to that weight room, so I have no idea.

Yes, I go to the Field House when I train now. It's much closer to my apartment--about ten minutes versus 25 minutes to walk. The weights area is up on the 5th floor.

3/5-

Upper body deload

Log press- a fucking lot

Pullups- a lot
Single DB press- a bunch

Notes: Strongman stuff is hard.

Strong Man.

Didnt you hit a log press PR?

Log press PR, DB press PR, DB press without a hat PR, log press with a clean for each rep PR, log press reps PR, Pullups at 22nd Street PR, quest bar eating PR, least amount of stop lights while driving to 22nd Street PR, most failed lot clean attempts PR


It was a good day

PRs on PRs on PRs.

I think it was a PR for most PRs in one session

4/7/14

Squat deload

Squat-
2x5@315

Safegy bar squat-
3x3@"225"

Pullups- a bunch

Notes: Almost died on the first set of 315 when I fucked up the rerack on the monolift. This is what I get for walking it out. Second set felt a lot faster and I paused the last rep. I was tired the entire time and honestly I felt my eyes shutting and could have gone to sleep in between sets.

Stay safe.

Never

3/9-

Swolov intense mesocycle, W1D1

Bench-
200x3
230x3
3x4@260
260x5

Notes: Just benched and then did the seminar. I am a tired man--I have been pulling 12 hour days (or longer) since Tuesday. Thanks, Iowa National Guard.

Excited to get back to heavy work. Video to come.
