Did you max out on "get naked" or why else just one set of one rep?

running gag does describe it better!
i did the two sets of weighted chins first, and then one set of chins au naturel to finish it off... i don't know. i don't think there is a method to my madness.
and...

(by the way... that post up there where i tried to pretend i was offended was a farce itself.)

Actually, I don't think any of us _post_ from HULK's house. We just workout there in the basment. And Kory, none of us have a key, either. But we have times that we workout, you know. And Thursday is never one of them. 
Two days ago, I rested. Yesterday, I squatted. Rookie was in the gym with me ready to take a crack at squatting again. He's getting down the form and he can squat a lot better than last week or whatever. We listened to "Canada Songs" by Daughters a few times and drank old water that had been lying around the gym for a bit.
Squat 02-03-2005
185x3
205
225
235
255x0
Here I failed, but no that I think back, I think I could have done it. When you're setting PR's I guess you need to get into the mindset of "I _can_ do it!" and not "I've never done this before..." But anyways, today was heavy squat so were were going for PR's and crap and it was a lot of fun. So I went back a little to add some to my own PR.
245
And then it was time to get my legs some real squatting. I'm used to doing like 155x7 and I think that is way weak and I need to get on the ball. I know that squatting is definitely my weakest link as far as the "big three" and being a sissy powerlifter and all.
205x5x3
Stiff Leg Deadlifts
175x10x3
205x5x3
Overhead Squats
Last week I did 75x10x3. But this week I was overhead pressing 85x5x5. So I thought that since I was overhead pressing that much, I should definitely be able to overhead squat that crap. And definitely, this is one of my favorite excercises although I've only been doing it for a few weeks so far.
75x10
85x10
95x10
And that was the end of that. Next week, we're getting in our Captains of Crush Trainer, #1, and #2 and that $11 that probabaly doesn't do anything but is supposed to make it a little bit harder and you get two of! I'm so excited!
And poo made a block weight that is 30 pounds and rules hard. Thanks, Urban!

Squat 2-3-06
I had high hopes for this session but it almost ended in disaster.
Squats
135x4
185x4
225x2
240x4
245x3
250x2
225x5
That's only four good worksets, in case you're wondering. I think I'm going to start keeping towards the 4-5. My knees started drifting inward on the last rep of both 245 and 250. But I also noticed that I was really winded after these sets. That seemed odd to me; I didn't feel like I had much in the tank.
Full Squats (No-No-No style)
155x6
155x6
I touched my hams to my calves on these. I was focusing on keeping a tight arch the whole time. Again, though, sucking wind afterward.
Bent Over Rows
135x4
175x6
185x5
185x5
Romanian Deadlifts
225x5
295x3
275x6
265x8
I almost fainted after that fourth set. I had absolutely no staying power on any of these. That set with 275 was one of the most grueling experiences of my gym life. \
Afterwards, I loafed around the weightroom for a bit, trying to get a hold of myself. I felt basically owned, drained, faint, weak (well, weaker than usual at any rate). I have a theory, though, as to why I felt so crappy. I think that I hadn't eaten enough good solid carbohydrates that day. I've been trying to clean up my diet, eating lots of lean protein and skipping out on fats and excess carbs. I might have erred on the side of caution yesterday. I think that's why I felt like I was running on empty. After I went to the cafeteria and had a meal (including a bagel and a big bowl of cereal) I felt great.
Anyway, I also started construction of my sandbag yesterday. I've got 240 pounds worth of sand, rolls and rolls of ductape, enough baggies to sink a battleship, and a canvas bag from an army surplus store. Right now, I've got 60 pounds of sand converted into approximately 3 pound blocks. When I get finished with this thing, it's going to be awesome.

Squat
2-3-2006
i took an extended break from work to come home and squat with 386. i've been scared of squatting. in september, i tried to max and tore up some muscle on 235. i only lifted 205 that day, because of my idiot methods. my max was probably 215 or so. but regardless of all my crying, it was time to squat heavy again.
Squat
135x10 (warm up)
185x3
205x3
225x1
235x1
255x1
265x1
and that's where i quit. it felt pretty dang heavy, and i was late for work. i MAYBE could have done 10 more pounds, probably 5... but that was close, so i went back to work and did some random pistols and lunges. so i ended the day with a +60 to my squatting PR. the last PR was set in september, i know...but it's still good to see some noticeable gains. i guess it averages out to about 5 pounds a week... my DL has only gone up 30 since september, and my bench has only maintained (i suppose because i never work it that much.) bah!
and, yes! the rookie was there, and his form is getting much better.

we used to do the bodybuilder squat and calf raise combo all the time, and it would wear my little legs the crap out.

It's just hard to watch someone you like sit there and plow through a mediocre routine, isn't it?
Oh yeah I forgot to mention. They were pretty skeptical of the bent over rows so I had to lose the gloves and go for the kill. I was like, "these really help your bench."
BAM! Sold.
