Master Of Puppets: Survival Of The Sickest

Master Of Puppets · 02-25-2007, 09:36 PM

Hi, I am MOP as many of you know. I stopped lifting a while ago, and need to get started back up. I don't want to train like I was before though, I will be trying to get stronger, because I am freaking weak, and lazy.

I am between 5'7 and 5'9, weigh around 185lbs., and I think I am around 17% bodyfat or so.

last time I tested my maxes, last time I remember anyways, they were:

Bench: 135
Squat: 225
Deadlift: 255

I have been screwing around a little in my basement, nothing too serious though. I am going to be a thrower in track, and I will log my progress here.

The journal will start as soon as I figure out the lifting scheme, etc. It will basically be the first time lifting in a real gym so we'll see how this works out.

By the end of the summer, I want between a 900 and 1000 total at my current bodyweight or less.

I think you can do it, the 900lb + total that is. Your going to have to work your ass off smart and hard. How long have you been training (overall)?

Master Of Puppets · 02-25-2007, 09:53 PM

overall I think it has been 2 years, but I seem to be extremely inconsistent.

I'm 16. I have to do whatever the coaches tell me to do for the track season, but once that's over I will definitely hit the heavy weights. idk bout posting vids, but I could try.

no clue. Haven't stepped foot in the weight room yet lol.

My guess is it won't be half bad ie. Monday: squats, bench, cleans, lat pulldown, curls Wednesday: same as monday except replace deads with cleans, Friday: same as monday

prolly something like that.

I don't have to worry much about lifting interfering with practice because we lift as part of practice.

haha, I skipped that! :-D haha. thats great man. I know a lot of peeps have lifting seperate from practice. Its silly imo

Master Of Puppets · 02-27-2007, 11:11 PM

Ok so here are all the lifts that I will be testing TOMORROW:

Ab machine
Back Squat
Flat Bench
Tri cable machine
Clean and Jerk
Cleans
DB bench
DB lunge
DB military
Front Squat
Incline Bench
Jammer
Lat Pulldown
Leg Curl
Push Press
Rows
Snatch

I am a little uneasy because I am recovering from a knee injury, but I will play it safe tomorrow.

yup all that in one day I am assuming. This is just a test so the school will set up a program based off of what I put down. I will probably just do a warmup set and then the work set. I can choose to do high reps or low.

Here's how it is set up:

the exercise name weight reps completed

I will make sure I at least get cleans, squats, bench, snatch and push press in, and then go from there.
