Interesting last couple of days. Upper back and shoulders are coming along well. Not 100% but getting there. We bought a 4 month old kelpie x border collie puppy on Sat night. Got him home. He was super shy but was gentle and let everyone pat him. He slept in the laundry no problems all night and I get up to let him out at 6 to go to the toilet. Doesn't want to come back in and tries to evade me in the backyard. That's fine. I'm new so I'm cautious. End up getting him and I'm going slow, patting him and letting him get used to me again. Pick him up and put him under my left arm. He repeatedly clamps down on my right hand and I half double over due to the shock and pain and he spins around and bites me twice in the mouth/chin. Fuck!!! Next two hours are spend in emergency with an ice pack on my face. Actual damage turns out to be minor, no through punctures and no sutures required (apparently they don't do much for dog bites due to the risk of infection). I get home and he's still on the loose in the backyard. Would not come close and my wife and I copped a few more bites on the hands trying. End up calling the ranger who takes one look at me and when told the age of the dog (4 fucking months) says he will have to be surrendered. We obviously don't want to keep him and I'm super pissed at the breeder. Ranger says there are obvious fear aggression issues that have been learned through his treatment since his birth. She says the guy will be investigated and I hope they follow it through. Feel so sorry for the little guy. It's not his fault at all. Stupid fucking humans. Feel absolutely hollow about it. Anyway, I'm healing up ok. In the grand scheme of things the damage is so minor and should be largely reduced by the weekend. Just glad it happened to me and not my wife or either of the kids. Would have been far more damaging for them.   

What makes it worse is that during the night when he was sleeping in the laundry I woke and had this incredibly strong feeling/thought that he would attack me when I opened the door to the laundry in the morning. Told myself he's a puppy and not to worry about it and went back to sleep.

Trained today.

Full warm up

Hang PC- bar x 10, 40 x 5
PC- 60 x 5, 70 x 3, 80 x F
(grip was the issue here. Was pulling all these sets with a hook grip and it just fatigued at 80. Tried again with a double overhand but the moment was lost)

Squats- bar x 10, 60 x 5, 80 x 3, 100 x 1, 115 x 5
Squats felt good. Resisted using the belt but did use knee sleeves. May throw the belt on next week or the week after when I get closer to that magical 125-130 (magical for me as that's where I usually stop)

Went to the track when my kids were doing aths about 45 mins after squatting. Warmed up and was going to do some med intensity sprints. Warm up went fine. First push off the right hammie was having none of it. I tried a few more times without luck and called it.

damn dude that is absolutely HORRIBLE.

In some better news I spoke with the pound where he ended up and they gave me an update. He's been sent to another facility for testing and potential rehab with the hope that they can retrain him and give him some kind of home. Really hope that's the case and that the little thing gets a chance at a new life.

In some even better news we got a 7 week old German Shorthaired Pointer pup last week (he's now 8 weeks old).


So far so good and he's turning out to be a great addition to the family.

Damn reading your last two posts really moved me emotionally. I literterally shed a few tears.

It got me thinking about my past struggles, being thankful that I'm still alive and well today (don't want to get into too much depth here but it was a close call) and about family/close friends in general.

I don't think that we ever should let go of our past. In the end it's these beautiful memories we have and share with other people that make life worth living. At least I wear my «battlescars» (actual scars) proudly and am never ashamed to tell someone if he asks about them, although they are hardly visible. I hope as well that we can share many more experiences, PR's, struggles etc. on this forum. I can definitely say for myself that it is still very dear to me eventhough I haven't been updating my journal lately. Let's fight on together.

Edit: looking forward to training in a few hours even more now. Gonna smash some PR's for you andrew

Chavez Jr vs Canelo was one of the worst fights i've ever seen.. Chavez Jr is nowhere near Canelo's class, we all knew that. He couldn't even just say F it and throw some bombs. Canelo stood the entire fight (in between rounds - it actually looked like it was making him tired), but still made it look like a sparring session. My only hope going into this fight, was that Canelo would KO Chavez Jr brutally.. Chavez Jr has a strong chin though, but I figured he'd get so tired and take so many shots, that maybe it could happen.. He was just in there to survive though, so didn't open himself up much.

Canelo put on quite a performance.. So sharp, beautiful counters/combos, excellent jab. I hope he sits between rounds vs GGG though.... HEH.

Can't wait for Canelo vs GGG.. that should be a very interesting fight. 

OMG I was literally only paying attention to julio cesar Chavez only hoping he would land some good hits or use his size as an advantage but he did nothing he was letting canelo hit him. To such an extent canelo put himself on the ropes to let julio do what he "supposedly" does best and even that he couldn't do anything. canelo deserves an apology from Chavez for such a poor performance and I wouldn't blame Mexican fans if they switched to canelo camp. The worst fight ever. Before it was hmm julio cesar is tall but now its 'wat a mismatch, who is julio, what did he do to deserve this, I'm thinking he was used as a stepping stone but turned out to be a sparring session.

Julio was never good and never will be good.

But atleast the announcement of ggg vs canelo was the only bright point of the match. Can't wait. Canelo is soo tough and can take punch really well I don't know if golovkin may be able to upset him. Especially how Jacobs exposed him.

Also this match before would have deserved its own thread but now it doesn't. There were some points where Chavez got aggressive but then stopped. man wat a bad match, its the complete opposite of the klitschko vs Joshua fight, it was the same in greatness but in the opposite direction, great disappointment.

IT exposed as a fraud that gets all the calls.... when he don't get the calls this happens ahhahahahahaha
