I have always found 400m easier than 200m, I was better at 400, too. My 100 was better than my 200, yet worse than my 400, relatively speaking. I have no idea why that is, heh.

Good shit, darq.

Sounds kinda like me. haha.

Haven't had a chance to update since last week. Everything's in a notebook though, so here's my final week on phase II.

Phase II, Day 21 (Monday):

-Front Squat: 5x5 @ 135 lbs. (one of my buddies showed me how to get the form down better. I did them off the squat rack and cleaned them first at the beginning of every set. Needless to say, my form feels ridiculously better, but I still feel like a total stick lifting such a small amount on squats.)
-Incline Bench Press: 5x5 @ 125 lbs. (finished this one really strong this week.)
-Bulgarian Split Squat: 2x8 @ bw + 2x50 lb. dumbbells
-One Armed Rows, Elbow Out: 2x8 w/50 lb. dumbbell

Phase II, Day 22 (Tuesday):

Just rode my bike around for about 30 minutes. Nothing special. (except seeing the lady friend I like at school  haha)

Phase II, Day 23 (Wednesday):

-Clean and Press: 5x5 @ 125 lbs. (This one felt awesome, I changed my foot stance on the press. Made a world of difference.)
-Weighted Chin-Ups: 5x5 @ bw + 27.5 lbs.
-Cable Pull-Throughs: 2x8 @ 80 lbs.
-Inclined Weighted Situps: 2x8 @ +25 lbs. (changed the way i was doing this one a bit too.)

Phase II, Day 24 (Thursday):

Hiked to the top of Mount Naomi. (9,980 ft. elevation) About 3.5 miles up. (probably wouldn't have done that much, but I was doing it during work with my crew.)

Phase II, Day 25 (Friday, final day):

-Trap Bar Dead-Lift: 5x5 @ 225 lbs.
-Dips: 5x5 @ BW + 60 lbs.
-Cable Rows: 2x8 @ 190 lbs.
-Reverse Hypers: 2x8 w/20lb. dumbbell



So.... Basically I feel awesome this week. I started the month at just over 135 lbs. I'm now a little over 138. Weight gain isn't substantial, but I haven't eaten anywhere near as much as I'd want to because of work. (actually some days I'm barely over 2,000 kcal)

Later today I might post some pics.

Yeah... hurdle fails = major pain.

Also, what Joe said. ^

What really happened was that he was trying to hit on this hot Latina in booty shorts and she stole his ball from him and pegged him in the nuts with it. He edited that video together to have a less embarrassing story to tell.

Win. But, why does it have to be a Latina?

Because he lives in southern Florida.

so many hot latinas down here it's ridiculous.

Awesome.

Looks like something I would do. (Yeah... that would probably happen to me.)

Yeah, nice progress man. Keep it up!

Hehe, I'll try. Between summer, work and not having any hurdles to practice with my motivation is kinda hard to keep up. Luckily I have this forum. 

Phase II Day 17 (Thursday):

A LOT of walking done for work. I had the pleasure putting no hunting and U.S. boundary signs along the Golden Spike fences. (/sarcasm)

Phase II Day 18 (Friday):

Did my workout in the afternoon today. Thursday I didn't get to eat as much as I would have like so my energy was completely gone in the morning. It's a good thing I decided to wait, the workout was awesome.

Trap-Bar Dead-Lift: 5x5 @ 215 lbs.
Dips: 5x5 @ bw + 55 lbs.
Cable Rows: 2x8 @ 170 lbs.
Revers Hypers: 2x8 @  20 lb dumbbell.

I'm feeling really good going into my last week of the phase. My weight seems to stay really consistent if I measure at the same time of day. It doesn't drop or raise from day to day, but as of day 1 I have gained about 2.5 lbs. (that's also with some fat dropped from the first week, my weight didn't change for about a week and a half.)

I expect gains to be much more noticeable once my seasonal job ends after this week and I have more time to make proper meals and eat when I really need to.

How the hell?! His shin muscles must be MASSIVE. Bit, I must say, the explanation is obvious... he's insane.
