The Miseducation of Jimbo Slice

Hanley

A1) Power Clean: 80kg, 100kg, 105kg x5
A2) Bench: 115kg 8x3 paused

B1) Front Squat: 100kg 4x6 @ 30X0
B2) Pull Ups: +5kg 4x8

C1) Wide Stance SSB Box Squat: 80kg 2x15
C2) Incline Bench: 60kg 2x15 @ 30X0

Was FUBAR'd today so only did 100 and 105 x5 instead of 105 3x5 on power cleans. Up to 107.5kg next week regardless as they felt good.

Benching was solid.

Tonnes left on the front squats, but my upper back is being forced to work hard. 110kg next week.

Will stick on +5kg next week for pull ups before moving to +10kg the week after.

Did a set too few on the Cs cos I felt like turd. Will up the weight on the squats and go to 3 sets of each next week. The SSB KILLS my upper back.

Tactical Strength Challenge in April coming up, so might try for that.

Men's elite division = max deadlift, max reps pull ups +10kg, max rep snatches w/ 32kg KB in 5 minutes.

I never understand why you do the 5 rep sets.

I wouldn't think it leads to consistency.

I've used that protocol with some of my clients and they loved it... well as much as anyone can really love being absolutely humbled by weights. Look forward to seeing how you get on with it!

I've had a look about the interwebs for GBC. And I keep seeing different versions of it. I know that, like GVT, its more about principles than a set routine. But is there a standard/preferred routine for GBC?
If not, then do you know what your template will be?

There's two main ones;

Traditional GBC;

3-5 rounds of;
A1) Bench 6rm
A2) Incline DB press 12rm
A3) Cable crossover 25rm

B1/2/3) a different body part

And then GBC for athletes, which is similar enough to what you'll see in my blog at the mo.

Trained with Kev, Anto and Joe in FlyeFit today. Best commercial gym I've been in.

Good training session too.

Could more big sessions left this week, then a week off in London, and a retest of strength levels before an aggressive 4 week cut.

Hopefully see a 220k x5 beltless pull this week on Friday, and 160k x8 high bar @ 30X0 sunday. And a few sets of 135 x3 benches.

A2) Bench: 132.5kg 3x3 - not really paused, not really touch and go, but wahoo anyway

Deadlift: 220k x5 beltless - that could actually be an all time PR

C) fixed another persons squat who went from getting smashed with 150 to smashing it

Good day.

Short session cos i wanna be fresh for a hard one on Sunday. All week in London next week with a session scheduled for Wednesday to stay fresh over there, and then test when I'm home

Bench 132.5 x3
