My Workout Program

The primary movement rotates every three weeks, and during each three week cycle, the weight goes up to either a 5, 3, or 1 rep max each week.

Training Format
Primary movement 5/3/1
Support Movement 5x5
Body Part 4x8
Body Part 4x8
Strongman/GPP 3xx
The primary movement is a squat, bench, deadlift, or overhead press variation. The support movement is focused on the weakest area in my primary movement. The body part exercises would be extra work to keep areas up, relative again to the primary movement. An example week is below.
Box Squat 5/3/1
BB Hip Thrust 5x5
Front Squat 4x8
Calf Raise 4x8
Atlas Stones 3xx

Bench w/ Bands Around Wrists 5/3/1

Dear Journal

Posted in Other  :  Jan 25, 2011 5:25pm
I am not much of a blogger, but I couldn't leave my blog that someone might look at in its current state, which is with a (near) 2 year old post talking about my leaving for the military. Short 2 year recap: Went to basic, it went well. I came back at under 190 looking small; I gained a quality 35 lbs in 6 weeks, and an additional 10-15 lbs (not as much quality) by the end of 2009. I maintained that weight for the last year, as I am no longer bodybuilding, but have been competing in strongman, powerlifting, and highland games, so I try to stay around 231. I did recently decide to drop down to...

Today will be the last blog i write for a while. We had to stop my video series(turned over to Ryan Suydam) because I leave for military training in a couple days, and I won't return until mid July. I dropped about 20 pounds overall, although i essentially stopped dieting about a week ago, since i won't be eating any quality food for several months. I am expecting I will come back under 200 lbs, and will be primed to put some muscle (back) on. If will try to keep a journal while i am away, as I think that would be a cool thing to post up on the site so other people can get an idea of what it w...

Rave Rant

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 6:14pm
Rave Today is a big day. I just finished my workout, and despite being a little under strength due to dieting, i still pulled a 545 deadlift for six. Not bad. the big part is that I have a few of the guys from AAEFX coming in today (the kre-alk guys) and they are bringing FLEX WHEELER with them. I am so excited i can barely contain myself. I am bringing Jammin Jack with me, and I will pick them up from the airport. Tomorrow we have several meetings, we'll go out to lunch, and run some interviews. If at all possible, I am going to work out with Flex. The ultimate would have been to christen my...
