Never tried to clean 185 before, I was just doing a heavy day and went all out on my lifts. The 160s went up pretty well, but 185 didn't get very far at all. I tried to drop to 135 to rep it out afterwards but my shoulders were completely fried. I'm guessing I could do about 170-175 lbs push press. I've never had anything over my head over 155 before tonight. Thanks pierini.

With your leg and hip power from all the squat and DL work you have done, with a little training I believe you would amaze yourself at the amount you could heave overhead.

Here's my belated attaboy on your recent 1-mile run. How close was that to your max effort? 6:30 on a good day??

6:42 was pretty hard. If conditions were better I could slightly improve, possibly reaching 6:30 but that'd be really tough. The wind was particularly strong on the final curve of each lap and a gentle wind against me on the back 100 as well. I'd say this is a pretty accurate estimate of my abilities right now. I'd like to get back down to ~ 6 minute mile and keep strength increasing as well.

Cardio 1 mile walk, 1 mile run, stretching

Notes: Split up 1/7 mile walk, 1/7 mile run, etc. on the indoor track. Stretching afterwards and beforehand. Easier day to get blood flowing.

On a side note, bought some whey protein today. I've been neglecting pretty much all my supplements lately, including multi-vitamins because they made my stomach hurt (too concentrated I think). Anyway, I need to get back on track with diet and supplements.

Cardio (1/7 mile jog + 20 sit ups + 20 push ups) x 5

Notes: No rest, one continuous cardio activity. Moderate level of intensity, stretched and hit the steam room after to relax. I will probably take Tuesday off and go hard Wednesday if I can on lifting.

Deadlifts 5x135, 5x185, 3x225, 1x275, 1x315, 1x365, 1x415, 1x460
DB Rows 10x55, 8x70, 8x70
Seated Calf Raises 10x2plates, 10x3plates, 10x4plates

Notes: 460 went up pretty well, breaking the floor was easy, the lockout was the only part where I slowed down noticably. I should have just pulled 465 today, but I wanted a PR and I got one. I want 500 by the end of January, that'll be my new goal.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, bodyweight was at 183-184 lbs today, making this lift 2.5x BW. Typically weight is closer to 186-188 not sure why it was so low today.

Squats 6x45, 3x135, 3x135, 3x185, 3x185, 3x225, 3x225

Notes: I am starting to do squats again after removing them from my routine completely in late May/early June. I started easy today because I don't want to not be able to walk come tomorrow or the next day. No back work because I plan to bench in two days.

I'm going to try something new to add squats and hopefully not interfere with deadlifts. I plan to have deadlifts and squats on a 10 day rotation. So I will do deadlifts 5 days from today and squats again 10 days from today. I will bench in between as necessary or as I am able.
