February 25, 2014 Upper / Light


  • Bench Press (Cluster): 225*8,8,6,4,3,2,2,2,2,3 (40 reps / 9:30)
  • Unilateral BB T-Bar Rows: 135*6 145*6
  • Push Press: 225*1 225*1 225*1
  • Neutral Grip Pullups: 8,6 gassed
  • DB Standing Laterals: 15*11 20*7
39 minutes

Mixed things up a bit, did a cluster on benching, some light weight stuff, and standing laterals, which I haven't done in ages. Good session. 

February 24, 2014 Lower / Heavy


  • Squats (Cluster): 365*1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 (10, 8:10)
  • Front Squats: 225*3 245*3 265*2
  • Pull-Throughs: 120*8 140*8
28 minutes

Good session, never done a cluster on squats before; I enjoyed it. 

February 21, 2014 Lower / Posterior Chain


  • Deadlifts (cluster): 405*1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 (10 minutes, 11 reps)
  • Power Cleans: 185*1,1,1,1,1,1
  • Hanging Power Snatches: 135*3 145*1 - gassed
  • Ab-Wheel: 10
32 minutes

Tried clustering deadlifts again, went better this time. I actually found it tougher than doing a 10 or 11 rep set with the same weight because each one of these was from a dead stop.  Good session

February 20, 2014 Upper Body

  • Incline Bench Press: 225*4,3,3,2,2,2,2,21,1,1,2 (13:41/25 reps)
  • Cable Rows: 200*6 200*6 200*4
  • Seated Press (in squat rack): 135*4 135*3 135*5
  • Cable Face Pulls: 20*10 30*10 40*10
  • DB Lateral Raises: 15*10 20*6
35 minutes

Decided to try a timed challenge here, how quickly could I get to 25 reps on 225 with incline benching. I was still tired from flat benching 2 days ago, probably would've done much better if I was fresher. Rest of session went good. Want to do some stuff for mid-back and rear delts next couple sessions, hence face pulls.
