Excellence Matters

I posted this in my old log but than realzied it is now locked up so I thought I would copy the post and start the new log.

Day 1 OG vs. 2,3,5

Squats 2x2,3,5 x225 much improved from the past.

BP 2x2,3,5x235 good weight to start with looking to make this move in this cycle. Shoulder a little annoyed but not bad…Biofreeze and Buds should take care of that.

RDL 3x8x135 did these very light my hammies were very tight so I was looking more for a stretch.

Hammie curls 3x8x65 light and easy supersetted with HS calf raises 3x12x90

1 down 13 to go

Peace

2,3,5? Is that like 5/3/1 but backwards?

Yeah OG has to be different.

Goats are like that.

Sorry about closing your old log.

OG is dyslexic…welcome to the club!

dyslexics untie!!

strangely every television electrician I work with ( me too) is dyslexic and ADD

Nice work OG.

Cav- its a little different but its all the same…it’s lift it today try for a little more tomorrow…rest, eat and rinse and repeat…

Joe- please tell don’t my wife…she already has enough ammo

DDay- better than Joe closing my log ( hahaha) Mom…Joe started it!!!

Matty- I know you have a great sense of humor, being a 6ft tall New Yorker…but I cant make a joke if you have dyslexia.

ehhh man I always try to laugh at my shortcomings and own them, if not I would be a very sad person.

Original Goatster.

MJ- I like that!! Might change the log title!

Today was my freelance day where I am doing db swings, walks, bat wings…kinda stuff

Waiters walks
30, 35, 45, 45, 45 ea arm

DB Swings
15, 25, 35, 35 x10 each arm…started extremely light to make sure shoulder would not freak.

Bat wings 2x5x10sechold
25s, 30s,

chins done throughout I am guessing around 25ish wasn’t keeping count.

Going to do this day without a rep/set plan just going to roll with it…

a ton of stretching a mobility work before and after…actually feel pretty good…tomorrow will be another story…rack pulls and bench on the menu!

Peace

How far do you walk? the gym here isn’t big enough to walk without getting dizzy from turning around so much.

UN- maybe 50 or so paces, our gym isnt that big either and is crammed with machines…but I just wanted to include some walks for a cycle or two…good fr my shoulders.

Day2 OG vs 2,3,5

Snatch Grip Rack Pulls ( just below knee)
135x10, 225x5, 275x3 work 5x2x315 1x3x315 straps on everything above 225

BP
3x2,3,5x235 moving up 10lbs next week…

Cable rows neutral grip
3x8x130 with 2 sec hold

One arm BB curls ( 5ft bar)
2x10xbar, 1x7xbar

That all I had time for…need to pick up the pace on my rack pulls too much time between sets…shoulder is holding up under the benching so I will keep going…

2 down 12 to go

Peace

Time is one of the big down sides to lifting in the morning, you gotta get in and get out. Well unless you want to go to work smelling like a hobo’s foot.
Looks like you got in what matters.

Oh so true my friend…I have an hour and 15 minutes and that includes warmup, mobility work and such…when I take too much time between sets it just gobbles up the time…The other sucky parts about AM workouts is I am half asleep, fasted and cranky because its dark out even when I leave the gym!!

I like showing up at work smelling like a hobo’s foot. only its not so much like his foot as his. well. you know.

Where you be OG?

Right here Dday…weekends have been tough and havent been around to post. wife’s business has been super busy we have to take over space next to her to fit everything and we dont have the cash to expand at the moment…more debt…hooray for me!!especially delightful as my son heads off to college next year and his sister is 1 year behind. We have been working 10-12 hours on the weekends to try and meet demand. My son worked last night until 10pm.

OG vs 2,3,5

Squats
3x2,3,5x225

BP 2x2,3,5x245 1x7x235…just tired and rushed this AM. The 3 sets of ladders on Squats took energy I didn’t have. Rested 235 set should be a 10 rep affair.

No more time to do assistance work for lower body. Had to get to my office for 7:15 meeting with the guys who administer the company 401k…Nothing like being rushed out of the gym and its only 5:55AM…something is wrong with my life!!

I’ll do the accessory work tomorrow…

Peace

Sounds like some serious crazyness at the goat ranch. Still whipping some arse, thats what counts.

Thanks brother! Yeah hopefully in about a month the chaos will subside…

Went into the gym this AM to do the work I couldn’t get to yesterday

Warmup …blah, blah, stuff

RDl ( left hammie was super tight so I only used 135 I felt like more than that and it might pop)

3x10x135 pause at the bottom

Hammie curls
3x10x60 again really light just getting some flow and stretch

seated calf raise
3x15x90

planks 2x90sec
side bridge 2sidex45sec

t-mill 10 min slow low incline…

can feel the hammie now, going to Biofreeze the crap out it throughout the day and stretch 3 or 4 times …

Off to the salt mine

Peace

You left your poundage off.

That’s five sets of 225 reps with what?

Interesting goat fact of the day.

Male goats spray themselves with their own urine to make themselves more attractive to lady goats.
