sunday night was screw off in the gym night...

5 min on bike
some mobility work and foam rolling...
worked up to...

5x5 Box Squats 115lb - everything felt great in knee... outside of hips were tight... ill stretch them more next time.
3x5 db bench press 55lb - right shoulder aches this morning - gonna video tape myself next time, maybe im losing tightness in my shoulder...

5-6 sets alternated of
4 Chinups (this was to failure) and
single leg back extension - 5 each side...

Back to bulletproofing next time.

Ordered my stuff from trueprotein...

later all.

Guys at work are thinking ive gone off my rocker again with my diet and routine... might be time for another round of bets... ive been wanting a c2 rower...

[pagangoddess]

You have . . . haven't you?

Nice job on the workout. Squats are moving up in weight without the knee giving you problems.

[FatGuyNoMore]

Thanks pg... as you might have guessed I drank the koolaid a long time ago (ok like 2 and a half years ago)... obsessive isnt the word i would use... i dont think its strong enough...

i have all these stupid phrases that go thru my head all the time...

like...

there's a difference between knowing the path and walking it.

[FatGuyNoMore]

ok so I was still really "dom"ed up from sundays performance...

5 min on bike
some mobility work and foam rolling...
worked up to...

5x5 Box Squats 115lb - same weight as last time... (my first work set was actually 125lb) everything felt great in knee... hips were fine... weight was really really hard.. gonna do it again next time

5x5 ohp bench press 95lb - 2.5 min between sets - last 2 reps of last seemed like 10 second reps... (i wasnt recovering enough between sets is my guess) - 100lb next time.

1x5 dl 135lb... ok this should have been a warmup weight.... seeing how ive pulled 205 for 3x5 before... but my glutes were still really really sore from sundays single leg back extensions... so i practiced my form... ill add 50lbs next time.

Looks like you are quickly getting back into form. Take it slow, the big iron will always be there!

U2 bud... sorry about the partner... thought about bw pushups/squats for fun?

[Barry06GT]

Don't tell the wife...but I think she knows...she can hear the creaking of the doorway pullup...maybe passed by and wondered why I was face down on the floor with my palms on the floor...why does he drop into an ATF squat to pick up the remote???

Didnt sleep much last night... kids sick (with different illnesses)... slept about 4 hours total but really woke up everytime one of them coughed or made the least little noise... ever wish you could just take on the sickness from them like the green mile?

[pagangoddess]

Yes. I'd much rather be sick than watch one of my children be miserable.

But that goes for all of what life will throw at them. It's tempting to always want to protect them from everything but it's not my job to protect them from life. It's my job to prepare them for it.

Hope they get better soon!

Thanks all...

Last nights workout.

Late night, long hours preparing for a wedding this weekend and coming back from salmon fishing this weekend...

abbreviated workout a
120 lb Box Squat 5x5 - struggled on 2nd/3rd/5th set... 4th set was the strongest/easiest... 125 next time.
57.5 lb DB Bench Press 3x5 - I was at my max on these, form spotty on last set, same weight next time
100 lb BB BOR 3x5 - working but not struggling... 105 next time.

Ever wonder what the perfect training program is??? My personality type takes me down this path every couple of weeks... thats why stronglifts(and those that tune into here and offer comments) helps me stay focused... I think this sums it up best... http://www.elitefts.com/documents/perfect_program.htm

Me too. I subscribe to the PowerMag.org newsletter (Ricky Dale is a bodybuilder form the Arnold time period).

He writes about people who can't stick with a program:

"Too many people are like "dust in the wind" when it comes to routines and ideas...flitting from one to the other all the time.....never having the conviction to stick to one for long periods of time......to actually see if they work....or why they work.......most answer that they cannot train the same way all the time...because it is boring.......most times in life one becomes good at something simply by doing it over and over again.....and yes it is boring....SO WHAT!"

I do not share his thought, as I like to change things up and keep it fresh.
