Thurs.
bench press. Goal is to bench 3 plates before my 40th birthday.
135x 5
185x 5
190x6
210 x 5
220 x 4
Deadlift (Coan/Philippi routine based on 1RM of 300)
135 x 3
260 x 2
220 x 3 x 8 w/ 90 secs rest between
Push and pull. Music: soundtrack from Rocky I, III, and IV. Centers the mind and body. I read a study that said that classical music or jazz had a better weight training performance as opposed to the heavy/thrash metal music people usually get pumped up with. I use both, but lately, the soundtrack music keeps me more focused.

Pete, nice: primitive, basic and raw. I think that is a good goal for 40th. BDay!
BTW...I love training to jazz!
Ah yes, Jazz is always good as background music. I am going back to the basics. My PRs are not big, but that will change. I never trained smart in the past. PTP and GTG are becoming a part of my routine as my work schedule gets me erratic. Not to mention having a busy almost 1 year old on my hands!
nice work pete.those goals are definitely attainable. but dudes, are you kidding me? lift really heavy weights to jazz or classical?LOL, I just couldnt do it.
shook, you ARE the Jazzman I guess.
oops that was me of course.
Hey Rif,
I know...we are the odd ones....just yesterday I was deadlifting, and the cd i had went from Bill Conti to Joan Jett (Bad Reputation) and it threw my mental state off. I had to put it back on to the instrumentals! I guess my state of mind was more introspective while lifting. I certainly am shooting for more than 3 plates before my 40th now. I just pressed 260 (PR) and it felt good. I just never trained the bench or deadlift properly before.
Nice combo and great to see you training Pete!
How is the family? Work?
Fast and loose baby, just like a far-out Charlie "Bird" Parker jam.....repitition snatches in c-minor.
