The Furnace can move now, let me tell you. His deadlift is molasses though.

6/25-
Deadlift- 2x2,2x1@405
Squat- somex315
Fat gripz EZ bar curlz/neck work/face pulls/shoulder external rotation superset- a bunch

Notes: 405 was really fucking slow. I took some video, but because my workouts aren't super organized right now, I'm not really interested in editing them and putting them on youtube. Squatting felt awkward as fuck- I need to work on my motor patterns a lot. Deadlifting felt pretty good- I think I'm going to use a very slightly wider stance to help keep my back just a little straighter, which I think will help my squat.

I'm taking today off, as I am sore all over and I have a date.

is this the ghetto one mentioned a couple months ago?

I think he said her name was Rosie Palmer.

No, she wasn't ghetto; she was just black. That (thankfully) fell through anyway. She was fucking crazy, and not the good kind.



This one is white and drives a BMW. It went well, by the way.

6/27-
Incline bench- 6x2@185, 2x10@135+fat gripz
Yoke bar squats- 3x5@225
Neck/band pull apart/cable rows superset
Cable rows (yes, more)- a lot

Notes: SSB squatting is way different. Lovely hamstring involvement. I also did some sprints/PT stuff last night.

I originally started using the SSB because of an injury but the strain it puts on your core/upper back made it a staple in my program.

O and I'm David by the way. New to the club.

I should be in Iowa City sometime this coming week, hopefully the 3rd. I haven't been able to lift the past couple days because of work- I hate working 3-11's.

I'm hoping to do some squatting and maybe RDL's or something tomorrow before a lady friend comes to visit.



Also, I did forearm work for a solid 25 minutes on the drive to work today (well, yesterday) in the form of gripper thingies for about 4000 reps. I suppose I can count lifting clients out of wheelchairs for some GPP work.

I'm here for the romance. Also, 3? To 11? Do they give you food?

The romance was good. My test levels should be through the roof.

Yes, 3-11. It's not my favorite shift, as I prefer 7-3 (or even 10-6 in weekends) , but we do very little actual work. The best part of my job is eating for free.

7/1-

Squat- 6x2@315
Snatch grip RDL- some
Decline situps- 3x10
Fat bar curlz- some

Notes:
RDL's were bothering my glute on the second set of ten at 225, so I cut it short. These are well suited for more high rep set anyway. Sets of 20 at 135, plus the occasional heavier stuff upwards of 275/315, will be the prescription here.

Also, video will be back tonight.

Video will be delayed because the app I used to use to put all the clips together is deciding to be a phucking phaggot.




Also, I will be in Iowa City tomorrow.

7/2-

Bench- 6x2@205
Fat gripz bench- 175x14
Fat gripz rows- 3x8
Dips- 2x10BW, 4x10+25
Neck work- 5x20


Notes: Good session overall today.

Are you 21 yet?

Sure, why not.

Not telling

I am 20.

7/5-

Squat- 6x2@315
SSB squat- 3x3@225


Notes: Quick lift cause I had a date.

I have not trained in forever. Between work and having a girlfriend for like the second time in my life, I am in need of a wake up call to get my priorities straight.

Start training again, please.

Boom, there it is. I will squat tomorrow.



Also, speaking of priorities: I need to really get serious about dropping some fat and becoming a full-time 181--i.e. not cutting any more than five pounds. I am going to be adding in simple circuit training to help me accomplish this task. Circuits will be something kind of like what I would do for PT, so it will pretty much be something like the following:


A bunch of pushups
A bunch of situps
A bunch of other bodyweight shit
Sprints
Possibly farmers carries
Maybe some box jumps and the like

It won't be anything longer than five minutes and I could do it pretty much whenever and however often as I choose.



Diet will also change a bit as I continue to cut out carbs and eat a bit more "clean". Nothing drastic. I also finally refilled my whey stock, so I can have a decent quick protein source, and I do have a couple bottles of some EC supplements, although I'm not sure how well they will work. I will be looking to pick up some more ephedrine in the meanwhile.

You've changed, Chris. I don't like it.

Oh, not really- yesterday me and the ladyfriend went out to eat and I had a rack of ribs, a vanilla shake, fries, potato salad, and we split cheeseballs (with ranch!) and a chocolate/mint chocolate chip ice cream thing.



On the other hand, I use Nair now.
