The Week In Review

Thursday 3-17-11
Warm-up
Squat 310x3, 355x3, 400x1x6 sets

Then I was in Columbus for the Westside Barbell Seminar for a few days (outstanding time by the way!) and back in the gym today (Monday).

Warm-up
Deadlifts-sumo-wore briefs (and my hips thank me) 305x5, 355x5, 400x5
GHR 30 reps
Walking DB Lunges 3x10/side 30-pounds
Back Raises 50 reps w/ monster mini band
Straight leg sit-ups 2x25 and Overhead crunches 2x15/ 80, 85, 90x20

In the science department; I was looking over the number of lifts I average in a month at various percentages and came up with some interesting numbers. Total lifts per month over 65% average approximately 164. Of those, lifts in the 70% to 89% range number approximately 96. Lifts 90% and greater average 48 (!) per month. That number is a bit on the high side as usually lifts over 90% should not comprise much more than 10% of total lifts. With that in mind I decided to cut back my singles over 90% to approximately 4 per session or approximately 32 per month (a reduction of almost 30%), but still a little on the high side.

Stay strong,
Ed T.
