Whiskey, War, Suicide, and Guns

The raw nationals are also in St. Louis in May (I think). I'm not sure what you need to do to qualify.

I may be a pussy, but I also brought over a trash can to puke in between sets. I got a bunch of odd looks when I put my head in the trash can after a squat rep. Good think I only had a protein shake before going to the gym. If I had a stomach full of bacon and eggs, it been a vomit PR.
 
Damn it all, that is awesome. I can really further my repuatation as the crazy guy in the gym full of bodybuilders if I start brining in my own SS Bar....

215x1
225x1 (PR +5)
235x1 (PR)

It has been 7 years since I had a coach watch me do these in high school football, but really my form didn't feel too horrible. I had some trouble racking it cleanly, it was landing a little too far forward on my delts and putting weight on my wrists and hands. Regardless, I was damn happy with this. Next weeks mission will be to record some sets at 185 or so and submit to Sombo for critique.

Front Squat:
135x5

6x20 db
5x20 db
4x20 db

I suck at these when I add weight.

Vertical Jumps:
6xmax height

I suck major dick at jumping, but I did a 23" jump today, which is up 4" from 19" in October. I haven't done any sprinting and jumping, am 10 pounds heavier, so it just goes to show what lheavy lifting alone can do for your athleticism. A few weeks of plyos somewhere down the line and some speed work and I will break the 30" mark.
 
Someone I know at the gym wants me to do a Sheiko cycle with them. *blows fucking brains out* I have downloaded and printed all the documents Eric Talmant posted on EliteFTS about it, and so far it's pretty interesting and very different from the way I currently train, so I am considering it for the pure challenge. A 9 week cycle would actually work perfect if I started in two weeks to take me right into my meet.
 
Reading Eric's thoughts and his answer on the Q&A, either the #29 or the #37 followed by the 5 week competition cycle. Probably the #37, as it is more intense and appropriate for a meet cycle as I understand it and I am fairly strong and used to training heavy. Want to do it too? :)

Awesome, I will be Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday. Me and my lifting partner are starting Jan 27 (Sunday), so the 9 weeks will take us right into the meet if you're interested in doing it at the same time. The only change I plan to make is replacing the flyes with rowing since there is no other back work in the program. I have some tendonitis in my right shoulder that makes doing flyes extremely painful anyways so they have to go no matter what.
 
that program looks dumb.....


i'd try it if i didnt have to run all over the gym doing different exercises but i guess thats the point. :redface:

I was planning I doing just db press instead of flyes, but I'm a sucker for rowing.

By the end of these 10 singles I had it really down. Obviously too fatigued to try heavier today.

45 Degree Back Raise:
2x25xBW

Vids coming of the squats.
