315x3
365x2

Not sure what the chains weighed, but they had to be atleast 60 pounds at the top.

DB row (strict):
70x12
90x12
100x12
110x12

BB row, reverse grip:
135x12
155x12
165x12
175x10
185x10

Cable row: 6x12

That’s it, called it there. Deadlifts killed me.

The last week or so I have had no motivation to lift. Im pretty stressed, and I haven’t been sleeping well. I have been lifting, but my workouts have been terrible and don’t last for more than 45 minutes.

If all things go as planned I can start coaching my old high school track team as a throws coach. Im not very qualified, but im literally the only guy that can do it. And if that happens I can make a large amount of money in 3 months, and start cutting down my hours at real work.

Anywho, here is the video from my deadlift workout the other day. I come forward onto my toes, it was an ugly lift IMO:

Kinda messed around with my bar path on these sets… tried benching to the neck and just didn’t like it.

Finished with some left tricep work… when I was finished with my workout my left arm was only a little bit smaller than my right, I think im headed in the right direction!

I needed to lift somthing heavy, that’s why I had the 2-board in there… it’s staying.

Did some upper back work… V-bar and lat pulldowns, cable rows, rear delt raises shrugs and curls.

2-16-11

OK WHAT THE FUCK.

Stepped on a scale for the first time in about 2 months yesterday and I weighed 215. Now, it probably didnt happen overnight, Ive probably been losing weight slowly over the last few months since ive been eating more regularly and “healthy”, but that’s not what concerns me. I look like shit for 215. during the summer I had a decent amount of muscle definintion, but now I look like a fucking slob… I thought all along I was around 250.

Im not sure what to do, maybe this BB thing was a bad idea… FML.

Solid workout, building my strength back up.

Well, your post about your bodyweight was pretty depressing. You think the healthy eating was the cause? Not to be an ass, but I hope in the future you check up on your weight at least once a week. I’ve kind of thought this whole time that you’ve been getting weaker, but you also realized that and posted about it. What’s your plan now?
