Why I hate Dallas...

This place is a life sucking ass-hat. The end.

Brutal, yet satisfying.

I think I have irreversible nerve damage in my legs, but otherwise I feel great. Actually, to be honest, I'm not sore at all. It's getting creepy. I'm going to start running two to three mornings a week. We'll see how that works out. I've got to get in shape for ski season.

NOON

I couldn't not pull today. It would have haunted me.

DLs:
WU
405 x 3
430 x 3
455 x 3

had to put a bar wrap on my right hand for the last rep of the last set. Just couldn't keep my hand closed. stupid injuries.

Glute Hammies:
1 set of 10

This was a quickie but it definately wore me out. I'm looking forward to a few days off for sure. I've got one workout tomorrow and then five days off. Hooray!

Boondoggle

So, that stupid trip to Dallas has screwed up my second week of hell workouts. I missed two workouts on Wed, made one of them up yesterday (sort of) and it's looking like I'm going to miss another one today. Oh well, my hand is jacked from ripping that hole in it and I wasn't really looking forward to deadlifting with it. I'm gonna go in a t lunch and do some squats or something non-grippy.

Here's yesterday's workout. All of it.

Incline Bench press:
45 x 10
135 x 8
225 x 4 or 5
240 x 3
255 x 3
270 x 3 I had more in the tank. Just didn't care.

Monday

Noon workout:
A1)Front Squats (Deep knee bend) (no belt): 145 lbs x 6 for five sets
A2)Glute ham raises: BW x 6 for five sets

B1)Lots of chinups
B2)Lots of dips

Afterwork workout:
Squats:
370 x 5
385 x 5
405 x 5 despite the fact that I should be getting weaker, my big lifts are progressing. I'm losing faith in the theory of overtraining. If anything, I'm beginning to realize that I haven't been training enough. In about an hour I'm going in for my 12th back-to-back intense workout in 9 days. So far, I've managed to rip off a calouse and I can't seem to get enough sleep. Otherwise I haven't even gotten any proper muscle soreness. And I certainly don't feel any weaker. I'm beginning to think that the notion of overtraining is an excuse to spend more time sitting on one's ass.
