Thursday- the guys
This week has been great as a bunch of my former players from Reno high have shown up to train and its been great. I love having the guys back.
Pin Squats- several warm up sets x5, then one heavy warm up x3. Work set- 1 Top set of 90%x3+. Try to do as many as possible with your 90%. You need to get at least 3. Austin Witt beat me tonight. Austin got 5 reps at 365, and I got 4 reps at 410. I loved the competition.
Next lower the weight to 80% and do as many reps as you can. Austin got me again he did 10 reps at 315, and I did 8 reps at 365.
Rack Pulls- 1-2 warm ups x3. Your back is already warm so no need for a bunch of warm up sets here. Do 1 top set for 3 reps. This is a true Max effort x3 reps. The pins should be set shin high, which is about 2-3 inches off the floor. Austin and Joey did 405 x3. I did 495 x3. These are hard after all the squating.
Banded Leg curls- (use two green bands) 3x15
Abs- Crunches 50 reps, Incline Knees to chest 50 reps
I loved tonight. I loved the competition and I loved having the guys back. It was nice to have Joey back and seeing Jake and Matt was awesome. Thursday nights are what I live for. Lift heavy or go home!

Monday
Bench Press- Warm ups x 5's do as many as you need to get warm. I usually do 85%x3-5 reps as my final warm up. Then do 90%x3+ try to get 4-5 reps. Push your self here and get what you can.
Incline Bench- 1 warm up x 6 then 2x6 the last set should be the heaviest 6 reps you can get.
Tricep Hell- Use 70-75% x5's Do four boards x5, rack the weight, three boards x 5, rack the weight, two boards x5, rack the weight, one board x 5, rack the weight, then start over and repeat, you should start to fail on these just do what you can try to keep your elbows in and use a close grip. The only rest you get is when the boards are changed. Enjoy! Just do one set.
Laterals- 3x10
Abs- 65 V-ups

Thursday- the guys
I love Thursday nights.
Box Squats- (wendler 85%x5+) The goal is to do as many reps as possible at 85% of max. You have do at least 5, but 6 or 7 is the goal. 6 or 7 reps is tough stuff.
Warm ups x 5 reps, do several sets, then 1 set at 85% x 5+. Austin did 5 and half, Doug did 4. I did 6 reps at 385, I might of had one more rep but it would have been close.
HIT- Next we did 1 set of HIT (high intensity) Slow descent 4-5 seconds and then explode up. Go to failure. Use 70% of your real max for this set. Austin and I both did 8 reps.
Powerlift Good mornings- 1 warm up at 225x5, I did 315. Set the saftey pins just above paralell, slight bend in the knees and push you butt back, keeping your back arched until you hit the pins then push the weight back up. I went 385x5 on my last set. Do 2x5
Banded leg curls (green bands) 3x15
Abs- 65 V-ups
Tonight was great I loved competing with the young guys.
