Just wait till I finish cutting and go for my strength phase. This journal will get even crazier.

Your journal is fun to read.

Keep it up.

Thank you for the added pressure, Sluicy. As if having a journal wasn’t tough enough. Just kidding, thank you for the comment.

Wol this is one of my favorite threads to read… Different from what you normally see

I gotta ask, you’re an animated picture whore.

Where do you get em all??

Oh, and you list “boxing” all the time. Maybe I missed it, but what have you been doing for it?

All I do is shadow box. Combinations, head movement, footwork, and such. I do 5 sets of burpees and then I spend the rest of the time Shadow Boxing.

Damn… I’ve been looking around at ytmd but can never find anything that good.

I used to do some boxing stuff. Line drills for footwork, heavy bag, speed bag, vaseline sparring, etc.

Really I stopped cause I just wanted to have fun and that wasn’t doing it for me. Plus I really like my nose being normal looking.

But shadow boxing… shit’s liberating.

And keep the avatars coming, since you’re such a secretive bastud.

I’ll keep the avatars coming.

Sunday Training:

I have my “Death Suit” on and its already hot as hell where I am.

I’ll take it up to to 10 sets the next time I train.

Sweating like a pig. I’ll get my Monday training schedule ready.

Nice job on the training WolBarret. I like the boxing/burpee combination.

What’s the “Death Suit?” And what does your daily diet look like?

And great avatar. That whole video is hilarious. My favorite is the guy with the nunchucks who does a backflip, lands on his head, tries to do nunchuck stuff, and falls down again.

Of course, this comment will be irrelevant when you make your daily avatar change.

Keep up the good work!

Death suit is black hoodie and sweat pants. They’re at least 2-3 years old. I wear that and additional shirt. I sweat like a pig in it.

Yeah, that avatar is changing soon.

Diet for today: Gatorade, protein shakes, and chicken breasts. The more time I spend away from home, the worse my diet gets.

I wonder what Avatar I’ll use today.

Deadlifts 5x5
Front Squat 5x5

I didn’t do Overhead Press. Doesn’t matter though. Its one of my stronger areas. I think I’ll go home, do some 10x3 snatches and then some Boxing/Burpees.

Thursday Training. I’ll post it here and then I’ll put it to notebook.

I need to heal my callouses. They’re gonna rip the next time I deadlift.

DUDE, I AM SO HUNGRY

Burpees, Shadow Boxing, and then I ended it with burpees. Plus I lifted weights earlier today. HUNGRY!!!

I’m gonna eat some sweet potatoes and…umm…whatever else I said I was gonna eat.

HUNGRY!


I feel perfectly fine after eating. Perfect. Sleepiness has JUST kicked in. 30 more minutes and I’ll be out like a light.
