Today, is a great day. I have not squatted or bench pressed in what feels like forever and this is making me miserable. Not squatting is worse than a terrible break up....like losing something you love and TRULY CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT... :P Anyway, my shoulder is improving and I am going to bench press...very light....but at least i'm pressing again.

Can't squat and don't feel like BW squats....so deadlifting.

Still guarding my quad. VMO insertion area...
Bodyweight squats: 200 x 2 sets. Not allowing myself to move my feet, and pausing at the top each rep,no bouncing at the bottom, focusing on involving glutes and hamstrings, just a constant pulse of 'singles'. took approx 8 1/2 mins a set
KBS: 3-poot(106lbs) x 25 x 2 sets
V-ups x 100
Friday, August 26th, 2011

Today I am supposed to begin my squat progression for Latvia in November. I WAS supposed to begin with 555lbs for multiple sets of three reps. After my first set first rep... sharp pain in my knee. STOP.
Body weight Squats: 150 x 2 sets ( full range, stop at top, not allowing myself to move my feet, took approx 7 mins)
V-ups: 33 x 3 sets
Monday, August 22nd, 2011
Still not benching. My clavicle is annoying me. I cannot even perform a pushup right now. Any horizontal pressing is not happening anytime soon. Vertical seems to be okay.
(Ring Chins x 25 w HS 30s hold) x 4 rounds

(13 WEEKS OUT) T-LOG:TUESaug16-SATaug20
TUESDAY, AUGUST 16TH, 2011
I wanted to front squat today but my left collar bone is still a little fucked up. So safety squat bar it is.
Hellraisers: 475x 5 x 8 sets
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17TH, 2011
Because of my collar bone issue I cannot perform any horizontal presses. Even push ups hurt. So i am stuck with a many chin ups and variants and handstand pracice.
(Ring Chins(pull apart): x20 with 30 second handstand) x 5 rounds
(Strict wide grip chins x 20 with 30 second handstand) x 3 rounds
(ring inverted rows x 33 with 30 second handstand ) x 2 rounds
THURSDAY, AUGUST 18TH, 2011
Conventional Deadlifts: 635 x 1 x 8 sets, 545 x 10 touch and go
( I was a little disappointed with this session. I was hoping to do around 12-15 singles w 635 but my technique off the floor wasn't feeling right today and it was messing up my pull
FRIDAY, AUGUST 19TH, 2011
(Ring Chins(pull apart): x20 with 30 second handstand) x 5 rounds

My knee has been bothering me a little bit this last few weeks. I think that last Saturdays 1035 lb quarter squats put a lot of pressure on my tendons. My right knee(rec fem and VMO) at the distal insertion are annoying me. A body squat feels a little off. So today.....
STRETCHING AND FOAM ROLLING
**** between the collar bone and my right knee I am getting very impatient. I have been hobbling along with injuries since RUM4. If it isn't one thing it's something else. Right now with the collar bone and my knee all three lifts are suffering and this is very discouraging. Usually I can focus on at least one lift when something is injured. I am 12 training weeks out from my next competition in Riga, Latvia and not feeling so pumped about my training cycle which is supposed to start on Monday. We will see how these injuries come along. I have a big total that needs to get accomplished at either WPC Worlds or RUM 5 and a lot of big names to compete against such as:
at WPC WORLDS(Latvia) in November:
Konstantin Posdeev who squats high 700s and pulls in the 800s
Zahir who squats above 700 ,benchs above 500, and pulls in the 800
Andrei Kisel who if uninjured will go around 740-550-740
Andrey Belyaev who is going to perform some great feats maybe 740-560-830
at RUM 5(Texas) in January:
Sam Byrd who is hungry and likely to go around 760-475-750
Jeremy Hamilton who I suspect will go around 716-507-793
........ my goals are around 727-740 squat, 473-484 bench, and a 750-780 deadlift. If I can get 2000 this year i will be a very happy man. I suspect that my next two competitions a total of less than 2000 will not win anything. I have not back squatted since the begining of May(expcept for my comp in June where i attempted 705) and the heaviest load I've have handled is a 545 front squat. Since then I have been doing a lot of the front squatting and Hellraiser squatting. This has placed a lot of over-emphasis on staying upright in the squat...which has also placed a lot more stress on my quads and knees. My right knee does not like me right now...we will see if we can become friends again.

In a bit of a rush today. My collar bone is killing me from front squatting on Saturday. There was one set where I missed the hook on the left side when racking it and it put a ton of pressure on my collar bone. I seem to have strained a muscle in my upper pec. Stretching the pec and alsolifting the shoulder seem to irritate it. We will see how it feels tomorrow. I may have to skip it since Monday's session seems to have irritated it further.
HELLRAISERS: 515x3 x 7 sets
Thats it!! That's ALL!! And its more than enough on the body. I am a little worried that I am not challenging my legs enough with these squats but I am definitely taxing my back enough and hopefully this will transfer to my deadlift.
