Mobley's Journal

haha, yeah it was sarcasim.
 
If i remember right mclifter had some pretty big maxes.  I'm gonna say that my bench hopefully will be in the 205 area.  deadlift i have no idea, i'm hoping for 315.  squat probably up a little not much.
 
and packers4, yeah the first week of 15's are pretty easy.  You will start to feel it in week two i think.  If you don't, you may consider doing another week of 15's.  Have you started a online journal?

No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.

No didn't start a journal yet ebcause I didn't start. I am starting on July 5th because I have to decondition. But I figured out the numbers and by looking at them it looked pretty easy.

Once I start I'm going to start a journal though.

30 seconds to a minute rest between the 15 rep sets packers...

2 to 3 minutes between the 5 rep.     don't rest too much

i'm glad you're likin' the routine in the 15 rep zone.    i wanted to vomit every time i worked out when i did it.

ahaha i did on a couple of occasions

"A severed foot is the ultimate stocking-stuffer" "Obsession is what the LAZY use to describe dedication" "You put your faith in Christianity. I put mine in artillery"

Ahh ok...that helps. What about the 10 rep range.. Also I hate this deconditioning crap. I want to lift so bad 

Sunday - A - 10's (last week of 10's) 

Squat - 2 x 185 (These are getting really tough cardio and lactic acid wise.  it's gonna be tough.) 
Bench - 2 x 145 (finally got 2x10.  time to progress!) 
Deadlift - 1 x 225 (had to take a few seconds rest between sets towards the end.  gonna be real tough.)
OH Press - 65 (feeling good.  think i may have made some strength gains here.) 
Pullups - 17 w/ 25lb weight (took 3 sets 8, 6, 3)  (DEAD!)
Calves - did 2x15
Tricep - pulldowns
 
These last 2 workouts are going to kill me i'm pretty sure.  The squat is going to push my cardio to the limit.  strength is going to be major concern on bench.  Deadlifts, well, just plain suck but in a good way.  5's couldn't come any quicker!

dude just lift!  your first week of 15's will be pretty light.  Just go lift!  I took maxes on my "decondition" week.

Ahh..no point of starting now. I'll just start on July 5th because supposely if you decondition for 2 full weeks you get best results.

Anyways I couldnt find the rest times anywhere. I know for 15s its 30 seconds to 1 minute   and for 5s its 2 to 3 minutes but what about 10s ?

HST is a training pinciple not a routine.  I do not time my rest times.  If you like to get the pump and what not then use shorter rest times otherwise just go when you feel ready.  I train with a partner so i go when he is done.
 
2 full weeks... yikes i'd go insane!

Tuesday - B - 10's 
Squat - 2 x 190 (warmups sets felt aweful but actual sets were great.  guess thats why one warms up)
Incline Bench - 2 x 115 (still pretty easy.  probably started to low on these.) 
Deadlift - 1 x 230 (felt better than last time.  still exhuasted afterwards though)
BB Rows - 2 x 85 (best ones i have felt in a while.  still not sure if they are right though) 
Dips - 26 w/ 25lb (did 2 sets 1x13, 1x13)
Shrugs - 70's 2x10 (getting close to too heavy for me to do.) 
chinups - 2x10 bw (felt more bicep pump from these than curls normally) 

last day of the 10's for the B day and only 1 more to go.  can't wait to get to 5's!  So far i've been pretty satisfied with everything and my progression.  My shoulders and traps have grown since i've started.  OH press baby! 

No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.

hey mobley, i may have asked you this b4, but on OH press.. you're doing standing BB right?  no sitting...?

My name is FOX.... and I approve this message.

yes always standing right now.  and with that rippetoe video posted yesterday which led me to finding him teaching a student about the standing OH press i think i'm gonna gain even quicker.  get that measly number up!

good for you. i do standing as well.. it's MUCh more difficult, but i love it.

Saturday - A - 10's (finished with 10's) 

Power Cleans - so you all got me so amped to do these i tried them out today.  form felt decent.  i need to reread the chapter in SS.  I felt to much burn in the forearms i think than there should be.  i started and did a couple with the bar from the standing position.  than tried 95lbs and it felt good.  wrists got a little sore too.
 
squat - 195 (felt pretty good, got pretty tired on last few reps though.  keep form good though.)
OH Press - 70 (tried using a little bit new technique.  i think i liked it but seemed to put a little bit of strain on lower back so i'm not sure.)
Flat Bench - 150 (had to do a 10,7,3.  man i'm weak at bench.)
Pullups - 25lb (only did 8 and 6 today.  just didnt have anything in the tank.)
 
as expected nutrition has been aweful last few days so routine has suffered a bit.  but it's the holidays.  I'm considering not doing the 5's and just go to strenght training since i'm going be doing 5's anyways and also doing a progressive routine anyways so really it's all the same.

No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.

alright I am finished with the 10's and decided to mix up my routine for the 5's progression.  I will be doing rippetoes routine while keeping the progression i would have been on with the other.  So there should'nt be any real change except for a nice little mixing up to keep things fresh.
 
anyways:
 
Monday - A - 5's
 
Squat - 200 3x5 (great)
Bench - 155 3x5 (great)
Deadlift - 235 2x5 (couldn't help but do another set.  it just felt so good.)
Pullups - w/35lb 2 sets 9/5
Chins - BW 2 sets 6/4
 
good first day of 5's.  nothing real hard so progression shouldn't be a problem.
