yesternoon

Got 405 off the three board press. It's getting closer to my chest every week. I'm still gunning for a full single of 405 by Jan 1, but that doesn't seem nearly as far away as it should.
On another sad note, it looks like I wont be able to make the midget wrestling / freakshow tomorrow night at the coliseum. Apparently, Meg thinks a cookout with her family is more important than this historical event in our community. They actually have a "micro" midget stripping pole dancer as well as a midget marolyn manson impersonator. Can't believe I've got to give this all up for family time. Oh well. Hopefully they'll be back next season to make our world a little less cheerful.

Four board press (lockouts)
worked up to a single with 425. (new pr)

I've started taking aminos before and after my workouts. We'll see how that affects recovery.

Good Mojo.

Can you feel it? It's coming. Oh yeah.

clench time

So I spent the first twenty minutes of my day purging my bowels of somthing that resembled menudo. Sure made me look forward to speed squats.

squats: 6 sets of 2 @ 55% with medium bands
Rack pulls: worked up to a singel at 90% or 455 lbs
zercher squats: 5 sets of 10 with 135 lbs
good mornings: 4 sets of 10 with 85 lbs

GVT sucks

OK. So I've had all I can stomach of the ol German volume training. I know that volume training has its place, but I hate it with such a passion I just can't keep it up more than two or three weeks at a time. Guess that's why I'll never be swole like the Terminator. It's time to get back to training like a man. A man with no intentions of wearing a thong on a stage, covered in baby oil and fake-tan, trying to pass off what would otherwise be conceived as a horrible bowel cramp for a natural smile. That being said, I started a three day a week circa-max cycle this week. I'm going to try to start posting my workouts more often so I can keep track of them and so you guys can know just how pathetically weak you are.

Monday:
box squats 6 sets of 2 @ 70% (355)
rack pulls: worked up to 1RM (515)
Deep front squats: 5 sets of 10
Good mornings: I don't recall

Wed:
Floor press: 1RM (355) got it on the second try.
4 board press: 3 sets of 3 @ 85% (315)
DB bench: 5 sets of 10 (85's)
DB rows: 4 sets of 10-15 (65's)

I finally got some average and strong bands to start training my squat and bench with. Hopfully I'll start seeing some upwards movement again.
