Looked liek he was gettign ready to go camping, loaded up a whopping 15lb on teh 45lb bar did 5 "presses" then walked away with his workout sheet, then this other retard ran over and began squatting the weight....... amusing

5x185lb
5x205lb

bench was fucking hard, my left arm was cramping up and my right tricep felt strained. I had to think about the arnold video to get through the 3 sets of 205.

Deadlifts

5x225lb
5x225lb doubleoverhand grip for warm up sets

5x330lb

felt good, lots of retards on the cardio equipment looking at me like Im insane.

dips 3 sets 12/10/10

Hard workout mentally as I had not eaten right the past two days and my body was sore, but I always feel its these workouts that make the difference, not the ones where I feel like a monster and am crushing everything. Was very happy that I finished all the sets/reps when it would have been easy to leave early.
 
Muay Thai for 1.5 hours today. Cardio slowly getting better, but my weight is steady at 202-206. Im not losing my gut.

Was supposed to go lift this evening but decided to give it a rest, will hit it tomorrow after the light grappling class
 
Jan/22/2011

Went to Grappling with my buddy was good, rolled with a few guys, smashed guards left right and centre.

1.5 hours in total


Weights later

Time was an issue so I had to cut teh powercleans out.


Squat

15x45lb
10x135lb
10x135lb
5x185lb
5x225lb

SOHP

15x45lb
10x95lb
5x115lb
5x135lb
5x135lb
5x135lb

was mistaken on mondays #'s it was only 130lb so today was 5lb added. Nice to get a 45 plate on each side.


So my body is screaming at me "Fuckhead you are going to be 36 in a few months.......you cant train like a maddog, you are not in your 20's"

Next week will be a de load week of sorts, I plan to do about 75% of my regular weight to give my body time to recover. I may only go twice. My back is a fuckign pretzel.

If the bears lose tomorrow I may go on a drinkign bender....
 
Wow... you do masses of reps at lower weights before you get to your final 3x5.

Really? I just try to get properly warmed up and a good amount of blood to the muscles. Im terrified of serious injury from somethign gay like not being warmed up.

Anyhow, BEAST MODE today, the week off training really helped me recoup. If I burn out like that again IM going to drop squats from wed, workout and see if that helps.

New PR for teh deadlift, coudl have lifted more but the grip was fading fast. Need to work on that.

Best workout in a long time felt great.

Masses, relative to me. I do something like the squence from the SS Wiki- 2x5 on empty bar, 2x3 ar 40% work set weight, 2x2 at 60% weight and 2x2 at 80% work weight. It's nothing compared to what you're doing and the only two injuries I have had came from lifting heavy weights with really improper technique- it wasn't a warmup issue. That being said, all the extra sets your doing compared to me must be really good additional work, get technique practice, etc. And you're obviously used to it. So more power to your arm, I say.

I see lots of progress with the strength here... how's the sanity coming along?
 
Meh, I still hate the vast majority of people I meet. I often wonder how I ever landed a job in a "helping profession" and Im surprisingly good at it.

I am able to control my urge to slap people.

You are going to Cuba? I am jealous. Be sure to take some cool pics and share them. I have been to Puerto Rico a few times and loved country and the people. From what I have seen, Cuba seems to have an amazing culture and people also. I would love to go there.

What the fuck is with the pr train? Good job mate.
 
I just kept adding weight and it didnt really feel heavy so I just kept going. I had a good 2 hour nap before I went to the gym, I also ate alot today and had a massage.

Yeah I am probably going to Cuba late april early may. Im goign to rock bright red speedos and cowboy boots poolside.

Im going to switch my routine up slightly this week gonna do a bicep/tricep workout wed in place of squats and also subbing high pulls for cleans.

SS is great its just getting a bit tiresome after a few months straight.
