MIT Strength: New Site
http://mitstrength.blogspot.com/2012/05/i-do-this-because-i-canbwahahaha.html
Training logs for MIT affiliates. Sunday, May 20, 2012. I've removed pretty much everyone (except for one person who I couldn't delete for some reason) as authors from this blog because the new site is (I think) ready to go. You can access it here. Use it if you want to continue being able to share workouts and progress with other strength athletes at MIT. I Dream of Steel. Yes, the name is a bit bombastic, but I couldn't think of a better one.). Posted by Frank Wu. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

MIT Strength: Vincent 5/11
http://mitstrength.blogspot.com/2012/05/vincent-511.html
Training logs for MIT affiliates. Friday, May 11, 2012. 55, 4x6 then 2x12. Lots of hamstring stretching. Pressing was a bit harder than I thought it would be but not too bad. Did some bodyweight back extensions to test the waters and to get some blood flowing there as well as to get that area used to a bigger ROM. Hamstring stretching is also quite therapeutic. The strain took a foot off of my usual toe touch flexibility. Im doing other rehab stuff throughout the day also. Posted by Vincent Liew. I had a...

MIT Strength: Vincent: 5/18 - 5/20
http://mitstrength.blogspot.com/2012/05/vincent-518-520.html
Training logs for MIT affiliates. Sunday, May 20, 2012. Vincent: 5/18 - 5/20. 125 x 6 (accidentally loaded 5lb too much). 120 x 5 x 6. 55 x 5, 10, 3x12, 10, 3x12. 225 ( 40) x 3 x 5. 2775 ( 90) x 5 @ 8.5. 3025 ( 115) x 2 x 2 @ 9.5 each. 125 x 7 x 5. 70 x 2x5, 8x8. I'm finding the split squats a lot harder on the grip than the legs right now. I guess my grip endurance isn't too great. Each set of 5 is really 10 reps and lasts about a minute or more by estimation. 5/20 I began the workout feeling kinda shit...

MIT Strength: Cure for the Itch; Vincent (5/4 - 5/9)
http://mitstrength.blogspot.com/2012/05/cure-for-itch-vincent-54-59.html
Training logs for MIT affiliates. Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Cure for the Itch; Vincent (5/4 - 5/9). Deadlift (with warmups included):. 415 x 1 (4 intended) (back popped). BW: 185 (really 183.5). 250 ( 65) x 5 x 5 @ 9. Split Squat (rear leg elevated, both legs each time). Long but I am really writing this down for myself. Medical told me I had a back strain (not a herniation which relieved me). What does it matter what numbers I have? On a less rambly note:. My other injuries seemed to have subsided. In...

MIT Strength: Vincent (5/13 - 5/16)
http://mitstrength.blogspot.com/2012/05/vincent-513-516.html
Training logs for MIT affiliates. Wednesday, May 16, 2012. Vincent (5/13 - 5/16). BW: 185 (actually 183). 2775 ( 92.5) x 5. 2525 ( 65), 5x5. 55: 6x10, 20. The back pain inflammation has subsided significantly. The pain is now fairly localized to my right SI joint. Hamstring flexibility is also coming back. There is not much pain in my daily life, just occasional stiffness, but I still can't get into certain positions painlessly. The face pulls are supersetted with the sets of pressing. Apparently thi...

MIT Strength: Frank (5/14): RTS, Volume 2, Lockout
http://mitstrength.blogspot.com/2012/05/frank-514-rts-volume-2-lockout.html
Training logs for MIT affiliates. Monday, May 14, 2012. Frank (5/14): RTS, Volume 2, Lockout. I went to gymnastics from 7-9 then finished with some abbreviated lockout work. Gymnastics isn't actually too hard on my muscles, but it really beats up on my joints. Still, while it's fun, and I think I'm going to keep doing it (unless it starts to negatively affect my lifts), the squat rack is home. 5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 1x165. Close Grip Bench: 8, 8, 7 @ 230. Tricep Pushdown: 10x70, 10x80, 1x90. Two main things ...
