Upped a few sets of power cleans, good to challenge myself. Wore wrist straps for that as I was trying hook grip without much success. I want to transition to fewer total sets of deadlifts, even with the hex bar, as most programs use 1 maximal top set to save the lower and mid back from fatiguing.

18 Feb

ATS – 3 x 4
Tuck Jumps – 2 x 10
Back Squat – 6,5,5 x 112.5kg (last set with belt)
RDL – 3 x 6 x 90kg
DB Reverse Lunge – 3 x 12 x 15kg

ATS is Around The Square, an exercise from Vert Shock. I tweaked my back in the tuck jumps and didn’t want to injure myself in squats so stuck my lifting belt on for the final set. Jump squats aren’t too bad, might put hands on head to make it more aerobically challenging.

Bit miffed my vert isn’t higher. Tried hook grip for power cleans, weird but has potential. Hex DL still really easy.

Bench still going strong, every rep done. Made bench dips harder by shortening the recovery because I don’t want to start piling 50-60kg on my lap.

Bumped regular curls to 36kg and felt wayyy better, bicep was definitely activating here. Arms are feeling thick now, 16 inches with the pump.

Vert Test 52cm/20.5″
Power Clean – 8 x 1 x 80kg
Hex DL – 5 x 3 x 120kg
Hip Thrust – 7,8,8,7 x 100kg
Swiss Ball HS Curls – 13,12,11,11
Conditioning (5 mountain climbers, 1 burpee x 25) – 8 mins 45 secs

I had a 55cm vertical in May last year prior to doing Vert Shock, would like to be jumping higher than that this year (I’m considering another vert program). Switched cleans to singles, allows me more focus on maximising each rep and I used a loose 1 min rest. Having done all those lunges in my leg program I felt like increasing my volume, so instead of 3 sets of DL, Hip thrust and Swiss ball curls I did 5, 4 & 4 sets.
