Volume day 3-24-12

Squat 3x5 345lbs

This is where I got stuck on linear progression about 2 months ago. It felt pretty easy which is good. The last 2 months of training wasn't pointless :) Also I weigh about 10lbs less than when I got stuck.

Bench 5x5 225lbs

Chins 5/4/3 +35lbs. 8/6 +0lbs Sucked here. Thinking about adding more chins/pullups to my workout. Not sure where to add it though...

Planks: 2x60sec front, 2x30sec each side. I've been thinking about adding more core exercises. What do you guys think? What core stuff seems to work well for you? People in the internetz generally hate on what I used to do (crunches/situps).

  1. Good to see youre still throwing up massive weights with less bodyweight.

    Chins/pullups are always good. I think they'd be good assistance work for squat or deadlift days. Something like 3 sets of max reps or something.

    Planks/reverse planks are good. Core strength will definitely help you stabilize for the lifts. 99% of my core work comes during metcons in the form of GHD situps, regular situps, back extensions, toes to bar, and knees to elbow. I like toes to bar/knees to elbow because you get a wider range of motion than a traditional situp.
