POW's CrossFit Log
A little history:
I've done some variation of a split routine on and off through undergrad/law school, but have always be
2/1/25
Cable lateral raises: 30x12, 12, 8, 9, 6
Straight bar overhead extension: 80x17, 12, 8, 9
Reverse flies: 20x18, 12, 12, 10
Pec deck: 80x26, 14, 14,10
Straight bar pushdown: 110x18, 12, 10, 10
Calves: 255x18, 16, 19
I'm still training RP style, but without the weird fixation on stretch mediated hypertrophy, but swapped to upper/lower and with bis+tris for 20 minutes at the start of each lower day. It's a lot better than PPL for me with my schedule. Maybe you might be interested to give it a try.
2/3/25
Lat pulldown: 150x15, 9, 8, 8, 8
EZ bar preacher curl: 60x13, 10, 8, 8
Seated plate loaded row: 180x16, 12, 10, 10, 10
Lat prayers: 100x13, 12, 10, 8
Bayesian curls: 50x15, 10, 9, 8
Incline treadmill: 30 minutes @ 10% / 2.5 mph
Played around with a narrower grip on preacher curl. It was fine.

Interesting. I can probably benefit from switching things up a bit. How many days a week are you lifting and how long is your typical session?
2/4/25
Prone leg curls: 4x10x110
Adductors: 100x18, 18, 15
Hack squat: 3x10x155
BSS: 60x8, 150x8
Leg extensions: 150x12, 10, 10, 8, 8
Ab wheel: 2x12

Wanted to do a second set of split squats but I was completely gassed.
2/5/25
Cable lateral raise: 30x17, 13, 13, 11
Cable flies: 20x30, 30x21, 21, 12
Overhead rope extension: 80x14, 10, 9, 7
Reverse flies: 20x19, 13, 13, 11
Straight bar pushdown: 110x13, 10+2, 9, 7+2
Incline treadmill: 35 minutes @ 9.5% / 2.5 mph
Cable flies were light because shoulder is still an issue. Everything else was good.
I do bis and tris on the lower day doing 6 sets each for about 20 minutes. This yields 55 minute upper session and 65 minute arms+lower sessions.
I'm on 4x per week but when I get to 8 weeks out from comp I will drop to three.
