Slept in.
I've been living on water, fruit, and turkey. Never before have my poops been this healthy. Last night I really wanted to drink, but instead I went out in a thunderstorm and worked on my board-press boards. These are some crazy wicked looking paddles, but they will be my secret weapons for getting my bench up to 400 by the end of the year.

202 lbs. Body fat: 93%

No beers yesterday. No beers today. Surely I can make it five more days...

Walked this morning. Sadly enough, I broke a good sweat.

Finally back in town.
Did a pretty half hearted workout this morning. Actually, it was a fine workout. I just went really light to deload for this meet. Always feels like I'm not trying very hard.

DE bench
worked up to 8 sets of 3 @ 50%1RM

millitary presses
sckull crushers
rope pressdowns
DB flys
pullups
blah, blah, blah...

I'll get more specific when the workouts get more interesting.
No weight lifting next week. I've got to drop about 6 lbs before next Saturday. Should be interesting.

I chose to sleep today. My body hurts and I have to drive 7 hours this afternoon. Sleep is good. On another note, I managed to quit drinking for roughly 16 hours. Not exactly a record for me, but somehow I'm having trouble caring. And to my dear brother:

Happy Friggn' Birthday!

The countdown begins...

Was going to do a full on geared up squat workout, but my right knee was tweaking out so I got lazy and decided to break in the new knee wraps.

Good warmup

Squats:
Bar x 10
135 x 6
225 x 6
275 x 4
315 x 3
365 x 3 (knee wraps)


I'd forgotten how bad knee wraps suck, but I consider myself lucky. One of the new guys to the A.M. crew used to compete and was glad to show Wes how to properly wrap so that no blood could move to or from my feet.

Did a few sets of fairly heavy goodmornigs. Worked up to 155lbs for a set of 6.
After that, I pretty much just walked around the gym thinking up exercises that I didn't feel like doing, and then not doing them.

Heavy bench in shirt today. A bit dissapointing, but I think I really need a rest. I'm taking the week off before the meet and am looking forward to it.

185 x 3
225 x 2

315 x 1 (clean)

Did some tricep and back work. Wasn't really into it enough to report on it. I'm pretty much going to be deloading from here to the meet. Heavy sqauats on Monday...
