A log by MIDMO

Anyone have a problem with this being the front of the invite.



I'm open to ohter suggestions.
 
I'm also wondering how many of you are hoping for a computer upgrade under your tree this year

 
I asked my nephews what they wanted for christmas and they sent me this pic



I'm thinking its some kind of video game they want but I'm not sure of the title.
 
I did not expect the best part of christmas season to be MIDMO's log. Bravo.

Left my belt in my other truck so I cut squats a hair short. Bench was off again as I'm way to slow on the decsent still. Left shoulder was tight at top at the clavicle for no known reason. Curl pr regardless as I have never tried 110(which is as massive as the fixed weight BB's go at my gym)

A fine summary of the Midmo plan?

Total Squat Reps: 19

Total Curl Reps: 23

Total Bench Reps: 27
 
There actaully is a method to my madness. In time it will make sense.

If I get a few minutes tonight I'm planning on a lifting year in reveiw and to offically state my goals for 2012
 
I set out this last year with several specific goals in mind. Reflecting back on my goal list it seemed pretty simple. The first listed goal was an increase in overall size to 240+ lbs at somewhere south of 15% BF. This would have been the heaviest I have ever been. Previously I had been as heavy as 230 but at a much much higher bodyfat %. The second listed goal was a 1200 lb total. I didn't break that goal down further as far as each lift and didn't set any specific lift goals this last year.

I ended 2010 at 375sq/290b/425dl for a 1090 which was just short of the previous years goal of 1100. I had honestly wanted in the back of my mind a 5/4/3 total this year but it looks like I'm going to fall short on a 5 plate dead before the end of the year. If I don't hit any Prs before the 1st I'll end this year at 1175 with a 405/315/455. I really can't be too upset by that though as its still a solid progress from year to year given what I'm working with.

I managed to get as heavy as 235 at a little north of 17% Bf but realized that wasn't for me right now and have since dropped to around 212 at a little less than 15% at last test. I really think I need to add another 10-20 lbs but will probably have to do it at a much slower rate than I did last time. I can't really be upset with my apperance though even at 212 as I'm for the first time ever sporting sexy hip cuts which even at 174 I didn't have. In the game I play for my life where there aren't weight classes I don't think that even 240 should be out of the question long term. I think the added overall size will hopefully offset the slowing as I age if I can keep the bodyfat low still.

For this next year I'm going to state that I would like to end it well north of where I am right now size wise at a similar bf%. I'm a large enough frame that even 240 isn't going to look large on me at this point. My body proportions sort of keep me looking like a 180lber regardless.

As far as my actaul lifting goals this year I'm not really sure of what will be resonable and what would be me just dreaming. I'm driven to keep fighting the deadlift and would like to end next year with a solid gain in it. Since I'm sitting at 4.5 plates I guess another 90lbs would be something that I think is both possible and probable. I spent a good part of this year trying to rebuild the techincal end of that lift and another portion nursing the pinched nerve in my back. I think my current strategy is going to pay off in the long run although I'm not sure of when that pay off will come. That 90 lbs by itself would put me at a 1265 for a gym total. So if I'm that close then 1300 comes into play.

My grappling isn't where it was and I would like to be able to say I'm going to even get in one session a week but I know it won't happen. Instead I'll say that I'm going to try to get in more than I am now. I don't know how many total sessions I did this year but it couldn't have been many. Going from 6 or 7 sessions a week to what I'm doing now is still mind blowing for me. I'm still getting some boxing in and its still fun so I'll state I'd like to get more of that as well.

Now to the truely serious part of my next year's goals. My curl goals. I've done more curls this year than in any year of my life and possibly than my entire life. Which is probably why I never made it as a proffesional athlete. Sadly I'm still not sporting 18" guns. But that doesn't mean I can't dream. So I am going to state for the record my most atlethic goal for next year is to curl the mythical 135 for reps in a squat rack sleeveless with gloves. I know that this is stretching the limits of human awesomeness but if we don't dare to dream we can only dream to die.

How many Christmas Skanks did you drop in logs ?? The last three I opened all had blonde harpies in them. Not complaining, just not a blonde fan.
 
in careful review you may be right, although I'm not sure any of them qualify as Harpies given the negative images that envokes. Ithink based on my research that blondes just make up a high percentage of those in teh true christmas spirit

although the middle one is a little rough around the edges, its Christmas time so I'm willing to overlook it.


Hell who am I kidding all three of those were rough.

But at least I haven't done a "shit I found on the internet pic" yet
