Cycle #4
I need to eat more. I've been resorting to only 4 eatages a day (eatages? dunno). Some of which I'm not even finishing.
Deadlift: 5x115, 5x140, 3x170 + 3x200, 3x230, 8x260 Rep PR
I was a bit wary going into the lift. The back of my head was telling me that I was probably going to do worse than wk1 considering the increase in weight. NOPE. I actually matched wk1 rep numbers; I was very happy about that. I'm pretty psyched that my theoretical calculated 1 rep max is at 322.82. I'll be that much more psyched when I actually get to pull that. I'd eventually like to get that number to 360. Double bodyweight deadlift is definitely an achievement milestone for me.
BBB **Deadlift: **5x10x145
Used the belt on all the sets. Was much easier than the previous BBB deadlift session.
Core:
10 x 10lb Weighted Situps
15 x Ab Wheel Rollouts
25 x 25lb Side Bends
5x10 x Lying Leg Raises

Cycle #4
I did an assortment of other very light empty bar lifts while I waited for my brother. Incline bench, 25lb incline db press, barbell rows. Pretty fun workout to say the least, I got to horse around a bit.
Press: 5x45, 5x55, 3x65 + 3x80, 3x90, 4x100 Rep PR
Achieved a rep PR on the press. I'm happy that I'm progressing on the press, even if it is a small amount.
BBB **Press: **5x10x55
Surprisingly very easy compared to last session's BBB Pressing.
Chin-ups: 5/4/4/3/3
These felt very strong compared to the previous chin'ing session.

Cycle #4
Today's Monday. Three days since this workout and my legs are still sore.
Squat: 5x115, 5x140, 3x170 + 5x185, 5x210, 6x240
The work sets felt fairly heavy, I think I may have gotten myself a bit winded from the warm-up sets. I really wanted to do much more on the last set, but I just couldn't crank out any more.
BBB **Squat: **10-8-6-7-8x140
Pretty ridiculous. This may as well have been a marathon run from the way my legs felt and how hard I was breathing after finishing each set. I rested a bit longer for the latter two sets so I could do each set better than the last.
Ab Work:
25 25lb Side Bends
15 Ab Wheel Roll Outs
10 10lb Weighted Situps
Conditioning:
10% incline
2min. warm-up 2.5spd
4x1min. sprint 5spd
These were pretty nightmarish after the squat workout. Shirt was soaked after the workout.
