Thanks then youll like this.


9/8/10

Deadlifted. After the cluster Fuck of a training session. I will no longer be posting my Dead workout until after the meet. That is all.

Don’t worry, got it figured out. Listen to this before you lift. It will lessen the pull of gravity, make you a great cook, give you the ability to make love for hours, and failing all the above, lie convincingly. Zydecco bro.

Well, whichever meet you do, kick ass when you do it. You are one strong SOB. It’s probably three or four more days before I can use hel’s joke at my house, but you have my sympathies on that one.

Yeah, a bad training session can set the tone for the day for me. Sorry it was a rough one for you. And I understand the temptation to not log after a clusterfuck.

Hey BD, by coincidence, I was reading an article in The Atlantic this weekend about Ana Ivanovic (tennis player that was #1 and is now struggling). It backs up your own diagnosis.

"I asked Sian Beilock, a psychologist at the University of Chicago and the author of the forthcoming book Choke, how world-class athletes like Ivanovic, who have spent thousands of hours perfecting a skill, could flail so helplessly. Her answer was deceptively simple: theyâ??re thinking too much. To hit a 120-mph serve, a player must allow the body to do what it has been trained to do. Thinking mid-serve causes â??paralysis by analysis,â?? an attack on performance by the prefrontal cortex, which, in an attempt to control closely synchronized neural activities and muscle twitches, instead sabotages them. â??We all know how to shuffle down the stairs,â?? Beilock told me. â??But if I ask you to think about how your knee is bending while you do it, thereâ??s a good chance youâ??ll fall on your face.â??
Click here to find out more!

The hard questionâ??the one at the center of Beilockâ??s researchâ??is how to quiet an overactive mind lit up by anxiety. In her lab, Beilock asks golfers to count backward by threes as they putt (her research shows that this works). Or sing a song. Or say, internally or aloud, simple words that describe the ideal swing, like smooth. She also advocates practicing under stress so that practice and competition become similar (if youâ??re a tennis player who crumbles when crowds make noise, hire hecklers). "

Congrats to the son. Linebacker?
“My boys think I should give it a try”. It starts this way.
“Hell, no!”
Then comes, “Wander how I’d look in that skirt thingy?”
And, “bet I could throw that stuff pretty good.”
Then, the turning point, “I’ll give it a shot”.
Hooked.

Yeah, Bulldog. You’d look really cute in a skirt I bet. But probably not as good as that guy ^^^.

I totally agree with Giterdone. Anytime I’m thinking too much about form when doing a lift, I know things won’t turn out well.

And stop pouting about your deadlift.

My son plays " Strong Safety" hes a heck of a little run stopper. He got the sack because he was allowed to blitz.
