05 Apr Danny Vega – Powerbuilding Week 5 – Bench, Pulls
Over the next several months I will be the Guinea pig for some new ideas on training and diet that I will perfect with the help of Tucker Loken and Brian Carroll. This will be the groundwork for an upcoming ebook that we will release in the near future.
[wa-wps]Rough week so far. Trying to close on our house and the builder is being difficult. We’re all a little stressed right now. Prayers and positive vibes are appreciated.
I’m just tired and luckily I have the gym as my therapy. Last two training days have been ok. Volume up, rest down, I shouldn’t be surprised that my bench didn’t fly up yesterday as usual, but different goals right now and they outweigh overall strength. My conditioning is through the roof so that’s great.
Bench day
1. 4 sets of calves as part of warm up
2. Paused bench 45×20, 135×8, 175×6, 225×3, 4×5@285,305,320,335, down set 225×20
3. Incline bench 2×6@245, 225×10 , 185×12 (misloaded. Was supposed to be 225. Just cut it off after this)
4. Incline cable flye w tempo changes 3×10@30
5. Seated cable flye 2×10
6. 1.5 rep dips X11,9
7. Ab wheel 4×15
8. Uphill walk 20 min (bumped up the speed)
Bench top set ^

Deadlift day
1. Conventional pulls 135×5, 225×3, 315×2, 405×1, 435×5, 455×5, 475×5, 505×5
2. Pull ups 23 (PR), 12, 8, 7, 6, 7. 63 total. Gonna work on adding to this total weekly
3. Chest supported row 270×12, 320×12, drop set 280×8, 230×12
4. Mag grip pulldowns 2×10@160
5. Preacher curl 90×10, 80×12, 80x
6. DB hammer curl 3×10@50
7. 500 m row with 3 min rest 1:48, 1:47, 1:42. Will add another set next week.
On a positive note, the Vegas are getting ripped. Maura has made some booty gains and I am not mad. At all.
I was also extra veiny after my scheduled cheat meal this weekend.
