It's Naught a Tooma!

OK. So the pain game is in full swing. Yesterday I did fifty reps on bench press with 275lbs or ~ 75% of my 1RM (10 sets o 5). Then 10X10 with pulldowns. 3 sets of eight with DB rows and 3 sets of eight of Tricep pressdowns. Michael and Mike are doing are doing 10X10 on the main exercises with 60% 1RM. I'm not sure who has it worse. My weights will go up faster and the reps will be up and down. The intensity and concentration required is rediculous. Their reps will stay the same and the weight will gradually come up. Should be interesting to see the results after two months.
Today (leg day) was a lesson in mental toughness. Or, at least I kept telling them it was all in their minds. They disagreed and would've kicked my ass, but they couldn't really lift thier legs anymore. My workout went like this:

• squats - 9 sets of 5 at 75% - 365lbs.
• squats - 1 set of 10 at 365lbs to pick up the slack from the other two guys.
• ham curlz - 10 sets of 10 at some arbitrary weight on Mike's bowflex. I made it hurt.
• Walking DB lunges w/35's - 3 sets of 16 steps
• Romanian DL - 135lbs for 3 sets of 8

Michael's workout:

• Ham curlz - 10X10
• Squats - 10x10 @ 175lbs. Had to insult his manhood to get him to finish the last set
• done.

Mike's workout:

• Squats - 8 sets of 10 @ 275
• Projectile vommit for 20 minutes
• Come back in the gym and proclaim that's the hardest he's ever puked.
• done.

Should be a fun two months.

I'm seriously looking forward to this climbing trip.
