The new cycle has begun. I'll be making some slight changes to the template, but following the integrity of the program. And, Wendler gave it a "YES!" when I ran it by him. I'm so smart.

  • SSB Box Squat Warm-up: 3x5
  • Ab Rollouts: 3x10
  • SSB Box Squat: 235x5/275x5/315x5
  • SB Sit-ups: 3x15
  • SSB Squat FSL: 3x5@235
  • Upright Rows: 50 reps
  • FBB Press Warm-up: 2x5
  • Wide Pull-ups: 2x5 w/pause
  • FBB Press: 105x5/125x5/145x5
  • Medium Pull-ups: 2x5 w/pause
  • FBB Press FSL: 3x5@105
  • Neutral Pull-ups/Chin-ups/Odd Grip Pull-ups: 6x5 w/pause
  • Neck Harness: 50 reps
  • Push-ups: 2x10 w/pause
  • DB Row: 2x10 w/pause
I'll do more Push-ups and Rows as I get into this. I didn't put the clock on this one. Just wanted to get a lift in and get back on the horse. This is enough of a change to keep me excited about training. Plus, I really like getting two main movements done in the same lift. I kept all of my numbers the same. No need to change my training max with the results I had last week. I'll just keep riding the lightning. I'll do some conditioning tomorrow and Wednesday because I'll get my Deadlift/Bench workout in up at Wendler's on Thursday. Probably get another one in on Saturday. We'll see how it all plays out. As I sit here typing this I'm sitting on an ice cold glass (shaker bottle) of chocolate milk. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better thaqn a post-workout shake. If I had sugar cookies it might be perfect. I'm off to enjoy the rest of this glorious day.
