Deadlifts yesterday:
WU
360 x 5
405 x 3
455 x 1
505 x 1

After nearly a year of "trying" I finally pulled over five again. And it was easy. could've got an easy second or third, but I was so suprised it went up that I just put it back down. Man, did I ever need to see some forward progress. Slow and steady is the way to go for me.

friday IVXXXII

Good week so far. Nothing too extraordinary. Just hitting my weights and trying to get in some cardio-esque type stuff. No booze since last Friday. I think this is some kind of record for me. Yeah. Hooray for mediocrity!

Cheers, yo.

Betta Drop Doze Nikes Fo I Bust A Cap In Yo A$$

I spent the first hour of my day pulling porcupine quills out of all four dogs. They never seem to learn. Nothing like having barbed thorns ripped from you facial flesh with pliers to get you going in the morning. Thanks to the dogs, I didn't have time to eat breakfast. So I found myself in the breakroom this morning stuffing down doughnuts and kolaches. There's something special about a hotdog weeny jammed inside fried sugary dough for breakfast. It had a really interesting effect on my colon.

Another 9 hours behind a monitor

I forced myself to hit the gym yesterday. The workout was decent and the effort was OK. I just didn't want to be there. Here lately, I haven't wanted to do much of anything except sleep and that seems to be the one thing that escapes me. I'm sick of complaining, but I'm more sick of not feeling good. Fortunately, none of us were designed to live forever. At least not here.

Military press
130 x 5
140 x 5
145 x 5

bunch of body weight dips
EZ bar curls: 90 x 5 x 5
DB rows: 85 x 8 x 3


Add-on at 2:41
I'm in a better mood now. Probably because I've only got a couple miserable hours left to sit on my ass behind this desk. But hey, smiley faces all 'round, yo!

good II

Quick update here. I managed to finish last week out strong.
Bench Press: (Friday)
WU
260 x 5
295 x 3
330 x 4 (probably had another one in me, but it was getting sloppy)

Missed Monday, but made it up yesterday. That concludes the heavy cycle. I'll take the rest of the week to deload, and then crank the weights up again.
Squats:
WU
340 x 5
385 x 3
430 x 5 (aside from the blood coming out of my ears, nose, mouth, and eyes, I felt really good after this set. Starting to feel strong again.)
The rest of this week should be pretty light and boring. I'll try to get the next cycle posted up by Friday.
