Oblivian's Adaptations

Great work. With the rate that you set PRs at you should have your own PR thread.
 
Thanks guys. 2010 has been good to me. I'm getting a bit burnt out though. I will probably lift less and less to close out 2010. It's also been pretty rough on my body.
 
LOL, just go in and nail a PR every other workout, it's like what I tried to do last year, but actually making it work :D

Crazy good stuff here, man.
 
Thanks X.

Warmup
Jump Rope + Heavy Bag: 5-10 minutes

Front Squats/Back Squats
135 lbs x 5 (Front Squat warmup)
185 lbs x 5 (Back Squat warmup)
205 lbs x 5 (Front Squat)
225 lbs x 5 (Back Squat)
225 lbs x 3 (Front Squat)
275 lbs x 5 (Back Squat)
275 lbs x 2 (Front Squat)
330 lbs x 1 (Front Squat - +15 lbs PR)
*Was planning to try 330 lbs x 5 on Back Squat, but my left calf that was bugging me last week started throbbing/going numb.



Bench Press/Close Grip Bench
135 lbs x 5 (Close Grip warmup)
185 lbs x 5 (Bench Press warmup)
185 lbs x 5 (Close Grip)
205 lbs x 3 (Close Grip)
225 lbs x 3 (Bench Press)
250 lbs x 1 (Bench Press)
280 lbs x fail x 2 (Bench Press - Very close on both)
*No more winging it for Bench. It's the only lift that I'm not making decent progress with, so I need to work back in proper programming. I may bench monkey it out for the rest of 2010 and bench every session.
 
Thanks. Video should be working now. It took a really long time to process for some reason.

The scary thing is, you can do more. I'll show you what a true 330 1RM looks like in a couple weeks :D

Also, I'm curious, what was your best FS double or triple before this?

I've never really worked doubles or triples. In fact, I really haven't been working Front Squats much at all. I think in my past 4 or 5 Front Squat workouts, I'm just working up to a 1RM. They are just going up since my Back Squats are going up. I'm pretty sure that I'm good for 335 lbs - 345 lbs.

Great PRs. Re: bench. Check out the Add50 program. I'm having great success with it. So is WhiteLightning and many people on BB.com. Idea is to boost your max by 50lbs in 7 weeks, which is very ambitious, but most people get around 35 which is fantastic. I think I'll be getting around 40lbs out of it.
 
Thanks. I will check it out.

Edit: I actually ran that program a long time ago when we had that lousy benchers thread. I think WL gave me the link to it then. I'm going to try what I'm doing now and then I'll look into a new program for 2011.

That is a freaking unreal SOHP. Nice squatting too. Damn, I don't check on this log in a couple weeks and I can't even believe this shit...
 
Thanks guys. I'm just busting my ass until the New Year and then I'm going to deload a bit and start conditioning work again. I can only handle 2 days a week right now since I'm going for PR's constantly.
