Lifting lately

Couple changes:

-Have started adding higher rep, but lighter weight, deadlifts to the end of every other workout. These are done double-overhand. This maxes out the grip work, but is light enough that the back isn't so strained I can't do anything the next day.


Last workout:

B Squat: 322.5 x 3s x 5r
OHP: 137.5 x 4s x 5r
Deadlift (double overhand): 280 x 4s x 5r

Cardio:
Swim 10 laps



Tomorrow's Workout:
B Squat: 325 x 3s x 5r
Bench: 192.5 x 3s x 5r (4s if it feels easy. It should).
Bicep Curls: 90lbs x 5s x 10r
Cardio: See how we feel. Either running or swimming or elliptical.

Sieve of Aristophane!

Sieve of Aristaphane, I have conquered you!

After f'ing around at odd times for the past week, and getting a little frustrated, I suddenly programmed a functioning Sieve of Aristaphane in 20 minutes.

Code is below.

#The Sieve of Eristaphanes



high_end = int(raw_input("What range of numbers should we examine? From\ one to ______?"))
high_end = high_end + 1
the_range = range(2,high_end)
the_range = list(the_range)
the_primes = the_range

divisor = 2
global divisor

def eliminate_non_primes():
for x in the_range:
if x%divisor == 0 and x != divisor:
the_primes.remove(x)
divisor +=1
global divisor

while divisor < high_end/2:
eliminate_non_primes()

print "Divisor equals",divisor


print the_primes

Temp Training Adjustments

Biceps:
switching back from high-weight sets of 5 down to lower weight sets of 10's. Specifically, my last workout was 110 x 4s x 5r.
I had to lean back excessively on last reps of 3rd and 4th set.
For the next week or two I'll go back to high volume. Then I'll cycle back to heavier weight, lower volume.

Bench:
I've reset to a lower weight. Still doing sets of 5.
Since it's a lower weight I've added on another set. 4s x 5r instead of 3s x 5r.
Today I did 190lbs.
Need to continue making solid gains, bench will be tested in meet in September.

Gettin' my Groove Back

Squat is still below past performance, but it's making a comeback.

Benching 190 x 4s x 5r felt EASY, but then again, it should.

Deadlifted high volume, low weight today. Double overhand grip. Did it as a grip exercise more than a back exercise.

Workout looked like:
B Squat: 320 x 3s x 5r
Bench: 190 x 4s x 5r
Deadlift: 275 x 4s x 5r (double overhand grip)


Lifting Goals Tomorrow:
B Squat: 225 x 10s x 5r
Pushups: 10s x 10r
Bicep Curls: 90lbs x 4s x 10r
Cardio: 30 mins elliptical, beat 468 calories

Meh . . .

Squats sucked.
Bicep curls rocked.

Squat: 305lbs x s x 5r

OHP: 150lbs x 1s x 4r
150lbs x 1s x 2r
150lbs x 1s x 1r
150lbs x 1s x 1r
150lbs x 1s x 1r
150lbs x 1s x 1r

Bicep Curl: 105lbs x 4s x 5r (Felt so easy I did a 4th set).

Power Cleans: Hello, Old Friend

Short workout today.
2 exercises.

Power Clean:
D1RM - 190lbs

Overhead Press:
145lbs x 3s x 5r


Felt good to do power cleans today. Thought I would go heavier than 190, but whatever.
