Good luck with the 3x3 program, you seem to be doing well already (bench particulary!).


Cheers - yeah, it's going pretty well. No injury worries just now either, hips seems fine. And the initial soreness has gone as well.

Squat
60x5, 90x5, 120x5x8

Don't seem to really get going on these till about the 6th working set. But by then it's really easy. Got them all done in less than 20 minutes today.

Bench Press
60x6, 80x6, 95x6x8

Deadlift
60x5, 100x5, 140x3, 155x5x8

Rower 500m x 2
1:46.9 1:46.1

Just getting in a bit of practice on these - too tired to do much.

Yep, will be. Probably starting around 1030, finishing around 12 or a bit later. Hopefully see you there.

Clean & Press
40x5, 50x4, 57.5x3, 65x2, 70x1x8, 50x8

Pulldown (neutral)
90x5, 105x4, 120x4x5

Lateral Raise
8sx12x3

Machine Row
105x10, 112.5x6x3, 105x10

EZ Bar Curl
42.5x12x3

Rower 500m x 4 / 2 min rests / all < 1:48
250m x 4 / 1:30 rests / all under 52s

I like this format for rowing - depending on how much time/energy you have you do one of:

1) 500m x 4
2) 500m x 4 + 250m x 4
3) 500m x 4 + 250m x 4 + 100m x 4

with maximum times for each. Rest periods are 2m for 500m, 1:30 for 250m and 1min for 100m.

Bench Press
60x6, 80x6, 97.5x6x8

Deadlift
70x5, 110x5, 140x3, 160x5x8

Another good session. I'm thinking of writing one of those elusive Sugden articles when I finish the 3x3 routine. So far my main impressions of the volume phase are:

(1) it's very monotonous
(2) it's hard work during the session and
(3) the soreness during the first week was truly awful but
(4) recovery has been no problem, and
(5) surprisingly, all my slight niggles/injuries seem to have disappeared.

will be interesting to see how this light weight high volume translates to new maxes - the weights look really low for you, those would get me detrained in couple weeks! But there must be a method to this madness Grin

When is the peaking time?

Keep it up!

I'll answer this one, since I happen to know the answer and JT's not around much atm...

This was the first session of the peaking phase, hence the 80% singles on the squat. It'll be 80% bench singles next session with light squats and deads and dead singles the session after with light squats and bench. Goes up 5%/week on the singles over four weeks, then go for new pbs.

I too am curious to see how this sort of very light weights with insane volume will translate into singles.

As Rick says.

So peaking will be in 4 weeks or so. The only reason I'm able to post just now is because my workout tonight was so ridiculously short. I, of course, will be more curious than anyone to find out how light weights and high volume translates into maxes. The 150 squats on Sunday felt good; the 115 benches this evening not quite so good. Not hard, just a bit heavy.

27/2/07

Squat
60x5, 80x4, 100x3x2, 115x3x3

Bench Press
60x5, 80x4, 95x3x2, 105x1x2, 115x1x3

Deadlift
60x5, 110x3, 150x3x4

Took about 45 minutes, even with fairly long rests at times.
