Whiskey, War, Suicide, and Guns

[Chaos Mitten**]

Thanks, but that is pretty shitacular for me.

I wasn't going to say anything, but that's at least 5% below what you should be pulling for five singles. WTF? Stop drinking so much, alky.

I found a good hill to run but it started raining on the way home. Winter will be here in a few weeks and I figure I need to get outside as much as possible for this stuff because come January the treadmill will make me want to off myself. We don't have fancy pants ones with TV's, just a brick wall to stare at.

GPP Considerations for Strength Sports

Thought this was a good article. I was already pretty much following this format so good to see I am not insane in thinking it makes a huge difference in how I feel and perform.

War treadmill walking!

The first day back to cardio after a long break is a beech.

Really looking forward to a deload week, but still hit some good weight on this day. Form felt tight even though I was fatigued. Wheels kind of fell off my lifting program, but I will make some tweaks to organizing things to bring things back to where they need to be next block. I have a week to think about it.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

Your squat form is looking pretty damn good. Even on the last rep. Reps, brah.

Overhead felt great today. Blasted my push press PR, and on a whim decided to try and get my long standing goal of a 2 wheel press. Super pumped to nail that. Shoulder strength is definetely moving in the right direction. Also, it's pretty obvious in the rack position that my left shoulder is more flexible. Need to work on that.

 

[modena1983]

Awesome work!!!!!!

 

[Ascendant]

Congrats! PRs when you're fatigued - impressive.

 

[Donut62]

Gracias, mi amigos.

I just took a leak and dump and weighed 226.4 butt ass naked. So I guess I can't claim a bodyweight press yet.

 

[enright3060]

congrats on the PR

 

[Deleted member 130905]

Shit nice pressing.

What are your thoughts about squatting in front of a mirror? I do it all the time.

 

[Donut62]

I hate it and it completely fucks me up. No mirrors at meets so I'm not going to build a reliance on those cues.

 

[liquid!]

Nice Pressing and Squatting.

Why PP when you can jerk it?

 

[Deleted member 130905]

That is what I was thinking. I'm going to turn around tomorrow and squat the other way.

Nice Pressing and Squatting.

I wanted a balance between really working on pressing strength and also getting some leg drive involved. Push press is halfway and seems to be working for me. I hadn't done a strict press with a barbell for about 3 months and still hit a big PR just doing push press.

And I like to pretend I am Big Z.

 

[thethirddiaz]

Nice press. You had to work for that one, and those feel the best.

 

[fat_wilhelm]

Good stuff, cracker.
