Yup I’m a senior.
I know I know, I must be retarded to be THIS old and still in high school.
All I will say is eating paint chips at a young age didn’t help me out in the long run.
Today’s workout was a complete write off. I was literally stumbling around the gym like a zombie. It didn’t help that I had to go to the Family Y. Picture a gym filled with so many bench and curl monkeys that you can’t even navigate your way to a different station.
I hate the Y.
Bent over rows
135lbsx10
205lbsx8
225lbsx8
245lbsx7
225lbsx8
205lbsx8
Wide grip pullups
bwx12
Ultra wide grip pullups
bwx6
Then I tried some pinwheel curls and died
Thank Jebus tomorrow’s a rest day. I’ll try to get a ton of sleep and get right back into it on Thursday.
Edit: you’re a month older than me Stuntman. That explains why you can bench more. 
2 crap workouts in a row Vegg? Are you sick? Not eating enough?
Well ladies, another day of disappointment…
I started warming up on decline which I was REALLY excited to be doing… bar was great… getting psyched… throw a wheel on each side… and I unrack it… and what the fuck… there is kind of a sharp pain in my left pec near where it connects to my shoulders region…
Oh well, I thought. I’m sure it will go away. Threw on a 25 on top of the plate, got back under the bar. Unracked it. Controlled it down… that first press up hurt like a BITCH. Cranked out 8 then racked it. 225 same thing, stopped the warmup set short at 8. 245, got 6, it hurt. I’m getting nervous cuz it hurts really bad but I’m determined to fucking lift. 275 for my last warm up set. Solid unrack, a strong single… that hurt like a motherfucker. Racked it. Cried a little bit inside.
Tried to warm up on the incline DB’s. Same thing.
Worked calves and called it a day.
I’m really annoyed. Do you guys think it might be a strain? I feel like maybe when I was trying to grind out those military presses on Saturday maybe I tweaked something…
Sad day.

I’ve hardly slept at all for the last few nights, so I think it’s affecting my gym performance. Gotta buy some stimulants…

Nah, I occasionally get mild insomnia. It runs in the family.
Box Squat
135x5
185x3
225x3
250x3?pr
275x3 pr
add wraps and belt
315x1 pr
225x6 ?pr these were done w/ just a belt
Single Leg Squats
25x12
35x12
Ok I took a video of all my squats, and I used the same height box I did when I got 300x1 but all of em look high.
Do I need to use a lower box, or widen my stance out, or both? I did notice my speed off the box was pretty fast, for me anyways. I have a lot of technical stuff to work on with my squat. It sucks being 6’3. Either way 275x3 is a big time PR and 315 is a 15 lb PR.
Who squats low anyways?
And I did my single leg squats like you would goblet squats, as in only using one dumbell. Cause I’m a weak sissy girl.
Here is said video.

Cable X-over (weight per side):

Decided not to do Pec-deck today bc it felt very un-needed…
Ended with 50lb dumbbell chest stretch for 70seconds…it was agony.
After I got done lifting today I got to talk to these 2 huge guys that lift at my gym for a while. They are easily the 2 biggest guys and they are very nice, we talked about all kinds of lifting stuff…one of them gave me their opinion on quite a few issues. It was awesome.
One is trying to get up to 305 at 6’3" so he can cut down and compete at 265, which is his current weight and he is actually pretty lean as is.

Another surprising weigh in. Was expecting 214, maybe 215 tops…forgot to weigh until after my morning fasted cardio session, all I had before I left the house for my 30minute walk was 1 glass of ice water. Weigh in was 217 when I got home, didn’t eat first - just stripped down to my boxers and got on the scale.
Jesus josh, I feel like youve gone from 200 to 217 faster than I’ve gone from 220 to 225. Christ. Sorry we can’t all be MUTANTS hahaha.
Lol Bug…I think I just had a good growing spurt this week. We all know that growth isn’t linear, I was about 213 last week’s weigh in and I was not expecting to be 217 this week…I didn’t even really eat any more than usual or anything, it was just a spurt.
Also, last week was the first week of rest-pausing and DC style leg training maybe it triggered some rapid growth. Yesterday was chest and on the HS Incline I got 20lbs increase with 2-3 reps more total RP (I’m only doing the bottom part of the press though, I stop when I feel it becoming more tricep on each rep).
Interesting thing that happened this morning…I have been using my Vibram FiveFinger KSOs for pretty much all lifting, cardio, etc. This morning I wore my old regular sneakers when I went for my 30 minute fasted walk since its cold at 5am and the regular shoes actually hurt my feet now. lol
