This morning was bro stuff
Elbow is rough so i took my elbow sleeves and just folded it in half to give it more support and felt good.
A lot of bicep curls
A little bit of shoulders
Some walking
chest flyes
Erics Movie Review
Mission Impossible 5
It was good lol I had no clue what was going on in it because everyone was flappin their lips during it but from what I could gather, the action was good, Tom Cruise is pretty dope and Rebecca Ferguson knows how to get me going! I will try to watch it again when I'm alone though.

Good for him/her, I was pretty shocked when I saw an article about it and had to do a lot of research to actually see if it was real or not.
I remember her being on Mark Bells powercast and considering his/her story(he still identifies as both) if it makes her happy then go for it. He was one of the biggest motivations for when I got started into lifting, I remember one of the first sets of videos I watched was his bucket squats where he just squats a lot of weight for a lot of reps and ends up puking in a bucket.
When it did come out though, people were obviously being assholes about it but when Caitlyn "the vehicular manslaughterer" Jenner came out, she was so brave, such an inspiration by threatening to pull out of interviews if she didnt get the espy or whatever when the girl basketball player who died should've gotten it. Tucking your dick and calling yourself a women to later on decide that you dont feel like a women anymore doesn't make you a hero in my book. Matt talked about himself struggling with it as a child and yes he was trying to overcompensate while he was in the military and in powerlifting to do brawny man shit, feels more realistic than Bruce coming out when his daughters were getting a lot of unnecessary attention.

Yooo, did you have tennis elbow at one point? If so just curious how long it took you to rehab it? I have a pain that just suddenly happened when I unracked the bb for benching this morning, extensions are fine but it aches when I flex the gunz.

Today
Paused bench: worked up to 215
Sling shot bench
225x15
275x10
300x8
315x8
Back work
Bent over row: 135x10, 155x10, 185x10, 205x10
Seated row: 200x3x10
Lat pulldowns: 3x10
Pain: left elbow but sling shot and elbow sleeves helped.
Tomorrow ill hit shoulders and abz
I'm rethinking my training and ik I'm a program jumper but Idk if I really need this much volume at this point. I got to 520-550 or so only squatting 1 day a week so maybe I will go back to once a week and then jump back into the volume and frequency slowly.
Also, had a dream last night that I won the lottery and I opened like a big park to breed tigers and shit and I raised one from a cub and it was my bff...i think its because of that slow motion save the animals commercials that were on last night with the sad songs playing.

Thinking about it, just going to do bro days tomorrow and friday and next week take a bro week. I need to get into stretching more also and do some more cardio.
My week will look like
Monday-National chest day/triceps also
Tuesday-National Back day/biceps
Wednesday: Boulderz and trapz
Thursday: legs
Friday: full body boner aka body pump.
So if i get the job which i honestly think I will, i think its going to be a 3 on 4 off 4 on 3 off type of deal during the week and working weekends with 12 hour shifts so I might have to get used to working out at 8am after my shifts which is going to absolutely suck but at least I dont have to worry about it for a month.

Thanks, I just needed to vent and im just glad that I didn't dump the squat, I havent done that since HS haha
Had the interview today and it went well, I was only there for about 5-10 minutes, basically just took my drivers and guard license to photocopy them and I filled out a form to let them do a background check. The other apps I saw on the table, people had criminal records so I think i have a shot haha. AND she just clogged the fucking toilet ugh wtf
I might idk finish off this week and next week do a bro week to cut back on the volume, my quads n shit was feeling strainedish

Rep Test day went shitty lol
My quads were sore but more than that they felt super weak today(even 185 felt heavy) But i had to get work done.
Warm ups up to 345x8 which was enough for me to get to raise my max 1rm by 5% or whatever it is. If I had done this around 9 or so considering how I felt last time i squatted at 9, I probably wouldve seen 10-12 easily.
Deadlift: Just worked with 315 for doubles, I cant do high rep deadlifts or I get migraines
Bench: Felt strong: 260x8 with about 3-4 left in the tank but i figured 8 was good since I didnt have a spotter
worked with 260 again for sets of 10 with my reactive slingshot and original slingshot.
some tricep work cuz the hot chick was in there this morning

Gettin ready to go take a dump n head out to the gym. Starting a bit later than normal because is a light bench squat and deadlift day(3x5@70% and 2x4 for deads)
I'm sure it will be fairly easy and I will get some active recovery work done afterwards, some walking n biking and jump roping if i can get into the pool balcony.
it was easyish, my quads were sore but it didn't slow the weight down at all.
did a long walk afterwards, tomorrow is active recovery.

I don't feel too much different as far as being awake at 6 am and say 9am but I definitely feel stronger at 9am, and even so I hit my biggest lifts late at night. It's a lot better finishing a workout at 730am though, also its just old people early in the morning and cardio bunnies so I get the weights to myself.
Today was a shit day though, didnt get to bed til 1130, they had a 2hr season finale for street outlaws last night.
Tomorrow is legs with bench i think, the squat is low weight and low reps, i think 4x4 at 70%

Lol, it's not that bad as long as I get to bed around 9:30 or 10pm and if I can I usually will walk n stretch before or during my sets. I mainly did it because my buddy who owns the plant that I'm trying to work at again works out that early and my shifts would be super early so it'd be a easy transition.

« on: December 07, 2015, 12:59:45 pm »why did you do multiple sets for rep testing rather than a single top set?
My bad I should've been clearer, the rep test day is friday, I just called it the rep test week because I guess the days leading up to the rep test is to prepare me for it I think? I'm starting out with close to the weight that I will be using for it, 7.5% higher weight today than on the other Mondays.
Also, I went to the gym around 9am instead of 6am and I felt much stronger, granted I was 4 reps shorter and 10lbs lighter than on friday, I felt a lot better throughout and wasn't worn out and huffin and puffin. So when I do the rep test day, I might go at 9am again to do it.
If anyone is interested in it, here is the program

Pretty much just did the squats, my legs were sore so I wasn't nearly as strong as I am on mondays or wednesdays.
Next week is the end of Phase 1 so Its like 2 days on, 2 days off then a rep test to determine how much I increase the weight for the next phase
