29 Apr Danny Vega – Powerbuilding Week 8 – “Squats” and Closing Day!
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]It’s closing day. I can’t believe we actually pulled it off. This house thing has been one of the most stressful periods of my life. Today we get our keys, and tonight we celebrate 4 things at Bern’s steak house: My wife’s birthday, my parents’ anniversary, our closing, and the end of the most terrible month ever.
Week 8 OHP
1. 4 sets of calves as part of warmup
2. OHP 45×15, 95×6, 135×5, 165×3, 195×1, 210×3, 220×4, 195×8. Rep prs on my top set and down set
3. Front + side raise 3×8 each @40
4. Reverse pec deck 3×15@130, 140, 145
5. Smith machine JM Press 125×25, 150×20, 165×15
6. Cable triceps extensions w mid rep pause 3×15
7. Plank 3×75 sec
Week 8 Squat
1. Extra long warm up including bike, McGill big 3, hip circle and empty bar. Knee has been sore since last weeks squat so I wanted to be extra thorough.
2. Squat 55×10, 145×8, 235×3, 325×3, 375×1. Stopped there bc my knee has been flaring up and I really want to be able to rep out in 2 weeks. The goal will be something like 415×15 if I’m feeling healthy. Still hit a set of 235×30 after.
3. 1.5 rep Hack squat 2×10@90, 115
4. Sled dragging x30 min
I feel so strong and motivated but my knee is holding me back. Once I take care of it, it won’t be long before I hit some big numbers.
