Waited for it. Got there.

dt: donut click the above image. aura is a mean man. But nice lifts tho! 335x5x3 while sick at 5am. zachgheadnod.gif

** that is the 3rd time I've clicked that image. I have a real case of the "Goldens" it would seem.

other than the puke that chick is squarely in would/would territory

i'd have to make fakebusto like progress in my lifting before she would consider it, but i'd give it the ol college try

2.13.14

I thought I was feeling better. I had some fever/cold BS, then some stomach **** too... idk. Everything.

My right scap is worse than ever after essentially sleeping for 2 days straight, so I spent a while on that, my shoulders in general, and my hips.

Front Squat
Just wanted to do something light to get moving. Somehow I have a hamstring tweak.... wtf. Probably from just being so inactive the past two or three days. So I stopped and worked it bunch with a lax ball. Then it still hurt to squat, so I quit.

Press
165x5x3 @8, 10 (see note below), 9.5
loooooooooool my abs were like "wtttttttttttf bro" and I almost hurled after sets two and three. Then I went home and did hurl, ah yes, still sick. Great times over at the DTs. :thumbsdown:

Feel better, gentle giant.

Do you sleep on your right side or something?

30cc of PvW, stat. Dr's orders.

I typically at least fall asleep that way. I think it's causing more problems as I get less fat.


Okay... soon.

Should have stayed at the gym and recorded puke on video during your last, magnificent set.

Then we could make another puke.gif and put it itt where it belongs.

Weird week for weight because of illness (couldn't eat and weight dropped as low as ~254, then ate as much as possible as I was feeling better, which unfortunately was not much.) I feel fine now and my weight stabilized, so this should be a relatively normal reading.

My 12-week goal from about 10 weeks ago was to hit 250 on Mar 1. I will probably hit this in March at some point, I'm not really worried about the date I hit it.

DT confirmed better at me than dieting. Might have to consider drastic measures (passive or aggressive) once you're nearing a similar BF with 3x the lifts.

Exercising 2.17.2014

Squat
345x5x3 @9,9,8.5

Supinated + pronated band pull aparts
2x15 of ea, supersetted

bench
235x5x2 @8,9
235x6 @10
my bench sucks and my right side wants to flare & my right scap comes out on these high rep sets. As my upper body gets ever smaller, I may cut out these high reppers to protect my shoulder (which is fine AORN.) Otoh, I like the high reppers for armor building, so I haven't really decided what to do. Maybe some drop sets BBB style.

Fat man pullups w/ rings
3x15

36" box jumps (w/ step down)
5x5 (minimal rest, easy)

RKC planks
5x10-15s

Static stretching of **** hamstrings

It's snowing like 100" again, so undoubtedly I'll have 60-90 min of shoveling, so I didn't do planned power cleans and did the jumping-onto-a-box-not-really-exercise instead. Cool.

We are all going to die pretty soon, so enjoy your day.

What are fat man pullups?

Supine row.

Mine look kinda like this, and as I get stronger they look more like this, although with arms more perpendicular to the body.

Oh. Okay. Thanks.

Hmm moderately bad diet week so far for various reasons, including people bringing me delicious and large sandwiches on three separate occasions. Pls stop, people. Please note that this is not a real problem. Oh, I also blame Soulman. Thanks anyway, Soulman.

My ART lady is helping a lot and everything is feeling ok AORN. I am dumb for not going to her earlier.

2.20.2014
5:30am, fasted (w/ bcaa)

squat
355x5x3 @9,9,9

press
170x5x3 @9, 9.5, 10

power clean
135x3x2
185x3x2
225x1
245x3x2
bar was still pretty far away, meh

clean pull
245x5x3

The squats took a lot out of me. I still have a lingering cold, but I was pretty tapped after squats, and that fatigue affected everything else I did.

Squats looking spicy

Thanks bro. I think I am about to hit a wall. No surprise here, I am glad to have progressed back to this point on a kcal deficit. Squats are cool though because you can kinda tough through them, which I have historically been good at. Press, not so much. We will see.

doesn't lift for a year, gets super sick while on a huge calorie deficit and is currently stronger than I can ever hope to be. go **** yourself

Nice work DT.

Thanks dudes.

2.22.14

Unfortunately I had an acute injury today during hbbs warmups and under a light load at the bottom of the squat I had sharp, shooting pain through the area on/in which I've been getting treatment, my lower right back through glute med on the 4th rep of 225lbs. So I obv stopped. I felt a little tight today prior to lifting, but I'd rolled, used the lax ball extensively on the glute and ham, done lunges w/ a half twist, done air squats x 10 x 3, 45x10x3, and 135x5x2 prior and I thought everything was going to be fine. Maybe it will be, but as it's tightening up through the day I am having a difficult time moving around. 10/10 pain for 3-4s at time of injury, 7/10 pain now if I move wrong, 4/10 just sitting around. Pretty sad dad about it for the moment.

My PT is also out of town through Monday 3/3, so next PT is then. I will see how things go until then, but I want to remain active so I will work on a new plan, which may just be rehab exercises.

Bench
I could only do these with my feet up on the bench, no leg drive. Feet on ground hurt too much.
45x10x3
135x5x2
185x10 @8
185x8 @8
185x6 @8
Pretty weird-feeling movement with no legs. I didn't really like it so I kept RPE @8 to be safe.

Fat-man pullup w/ rings
3x15
This sorta hurt, too.

Then I just tried to stretch my hamstring and glute as much as possible.

Ughhhh, that sucks. Hope it's nothing serious. Get better quickly. DT.

have some beer.

ugh. Hope its nothing serious. GL.

Don't mind if I do.

DT, gl with your back.
