5/24/24 - 6/6/24 general thoughts. doing well.

-
It's been hard to keep up with writing these days.  I feel like every time I sit down after my session to write my thoughts I get interrupted. I'll just leave my general sentiments on my sessions so far. There's been a lot of obstacles. Lots of ommissions and even a day where I had to dial back my supplemental work but despite that I've been performing very well. I've been doing Joker sets here and there, keeping them conservative. My all around strength is returning.

5/29/24 
Morning
BBB glute squats @ 185
10, 6, 5
The weight actually felt lighter than I anticipated, the issue was that my hips are starting to feel very fatigued and I'm experiencing discomfort that may be indicative of overuse. 

OHP 5s Top set @ 140
The warmups felt very strong. My "skill" is returning. Top set felt pretty heavy. 

If I can, I will do my calisthenics work at work, and my hip thrusts at home.

At work
Single leg squat
20, 11, 6
I expected a good performance since my BBB squats were a disaster but DIDN'T expect the PR! Knees felt perfect.

Chin ups on conveyor frame
10, 8, 6
I got less reps on the first set because I used the wrong set of support beams and they were uneven. On my last set I felt myself entering the beginning of what could be a muscle up! I felt myself pull and transition momentarily I to a press. I did this for a few reps and sadly leaked a bit of strength and lost reps. Still very happy! 

Only hip thrusts left to do at home!
*WORKED overtime, didn't get to do hip thrusts when I got home*

5/31/24
Morning
BBB SLDL @ 185
16, 16, 12, 6
I stopped overanalyzing my form and stuck to basic cues. Felt it in my glutes properly and not my upper back and traps! 

5s bench top set @ 185
Jokers 205x3 225x1
Felt like I was able to engage my whole torso. Strong reps. Hitting 225 again was good for my ego. Had more reps in the tank! 

At work 
Conveyor beam pull-ups (muscle up conversion attempts) 
10, 6, 6
I lost a lot of reps trying to do these more explosively for a muscle up conversion. It's alright. Felt awesome.

12/6/23 - Leg Calisthenics + Beginning Hungarian Oak Leg Blast

-
Warm-up: BW squat x15 Deep squat jumps 3x3 BSS 1x3e Single Leg Squat off of bench 1x10L (PR) 1x4R (injury from previous session)  Squat 2:00 @ 95lbs (35) Single leg hyperextension (glute focus)  3xFe (10,12,11)  Heels-together widest grip SLDL 3xF @ 95lb (14, 10, 12)  Pistol hip thrust  3xF (7,7,6) I made the decision to incorporate the  Hungarian Oak Leg Blast method  into my training because I love high rep squatting but I'm not in the physical or lifestyle condition to run a classical 20 rep squat routine. Besides, this routine has been in my "backlog" for years! While it's meant for accumulating mass, I'm using it during a cut to help me rebuild my conditioning and help me lean out further. I should be able to lift 95lbs for any amount of reps on any day.... Of course, I don't believe in running cookie cutter routines as written. I'm incorporating the meat of this program into a heavily calisthenics-based routine I've already been running. Assistan...

2/5/24 - FBCT restructured. calisthenics volume training?

-
Warmup  --- x3 atg tuck jumps x3 Half tuck jumps x3 tuck jumps Handstand practice  x9 bounds Handstand practice  x6 running jumps  Handstand practice --- Awesome! Hand balancing is getting a lot more natural. On my first attempt I managed a very long hold. Maybe 15-20 seconds.  Bench Press + Pseudo Planche Pushup  3x5 @ 160 + (6,5,3) This agonistic superset combo was surprising tough. I'm enjoying the Olympic barbell over the fat bar. Setup is much more consistent.  Floating Barbell Row + wide Inverted row 3x5 @ 135 + (7,6,5) This felt easier than the bench/pushup combo. Pre-fatigue from the barbell made my calisthenics rows lose reps. Not a surprise.  100 rep marathon --- Single Leg Squat   (10,8,5,7,6)e - 36e Bulgarian Split Squat  (12,10,10,9,8)e - 49e Atg step-up 15e --- THIS was the fun part of my session that I planned everything around. My quads and glutes were sore for days after (I'm posting this late).   Superset...

4/1/24 --> 4/12/24

4/1/24 _______ Double arm, single leg dumbell deadlift. 6x3, 4x2 w/ 75lb dbs This was inspired by Jamie Lewis's heavy 10x3 method. Honestly my balance wasn't good enough to handle the weights I picked so my reps didn't look good. After the halfway point I couldn't get sets of 3 that were satisfactory so I continued with doubles. Despite wobbly form, it was a great stimulus.  Shiko (12, 10, 8, 10, 8)a The heavy work made these feel reaaaaaally good.  I've once heard shiko described as "moving meditation" and I certainly agree!  ________ 4/3/24 ________ Single leg squat  5x1e @ +55lb (14, 10, 7) @BW I gave an honest attempt at Jamie Lewis's method of doing 15x1 at 3rm. My form was beginning to break down and I could seriously feel the muscles in my legs straining. It felt unsafe to proceed after 5 singles. Up to that point they felt very productive. I did rep work at bodyweight. My body felt nice and primed from the singles, but my fast twitch fibers mus...
