I’m so fuckin pumped to get one. It’s better than when I got to go see rated R movies without an adult. Haha

NOTES:

Felt awesome today. Had some good things happen on the love life front lately, so I’m really REALLY looking forward to get home! :):):)))))

Made another “friend” today! lol Right before my last set, some guy comes over to me, probably to ask if I want a spot, while I’m wrapping my knees. I have my headphones on, and I’m listening to some Woe, Is Me. Anywho, I just shake my head in his direction and continue to wrap my left knee without looking up. He moves over and gets in my face and I just shoo (sp?) him away and say I don’t wanna talk. Any way, he watches from literally six feet to the left of me as I proceed to demolish my last single. I did go up to him after my eyes got uncrossed and I could see colors again and explained I didn’t want to be an asshole, I just was focused on what I was doing.

THINGS GOING TO BE ADDRESSED IN MY POST MEET CYCLE AND ONWARD:

  1. I’m going to add in paused squats. I see really strong guys doing it all the time, so that means I need to give it a try and see how my body likes them.

  2. I’m getting an SSB, so I’ll definitely add in SSB GM’s and squats. <---- PAUSED SSB SQUATS??? Suspended GM’? I think so!

  3. Also getting some loadable farmers handles to go with my prowler and other things. I’ll be doing a 5/3/1 full-body conditioning template. Probably with morning conditioning and PM lifting. May have to switch these two around due to work. I’ll see which shift I get assigned to when I get back.

Quoted only the shit I liked… haha im all about what i care about.

  1. Love is good I guess. congrats.
  2. your "friend’ stories in the gym are classic as fuck, keep them coming cause they litterally make me laugh when im up at 430 in the fucking mourning working and checking the daily T-Nation. (ive been unable to lift due to a fucking bruised fuck shit fuck, rib or something in my chest… so ive been depressed and not logging. im kinda back) but thanks for the logs in the gym :slight_smile:
  3. yay for paused squats, I love the static holds!! nice, I aproove.
  4. I have no Idea what SSB is, ecplain
  5. Loadable farmer handles is the best Idea you have had since taking Alpha Male!!

Keep it up partner. Hope you missed my posts. haha.
PS motivational clip for my brother the Texican!!

SSB is a safety squat bar

Wow, that bottom up squat thing sounds hard. You think that really helps your sticking point, or something?? My sticking point is more halfway up. I am fine coming out of the hole.

ANYWAY!! GOOD JOB MAN! You are gonna do awesomely at this meet. I am excited for you!

I haven’t really had a sticking point. Lol.

I was just doing them to negate the eccentric and possibly be less sore! :slight_smile:

Thanks. I’m hoping to do really well.

Is that gun paleo?

No.

It’s hetero.

No its Hero

I’m. Hero!!

haha! you and spock are a lot alike, or at least your posts are.

nice work in here! I fully support SSB and farmers walks-awesome!

I’m sure this will be making you repeat yourself but i’m gonna go ahead and ask:

-when do you come home?
-when is the meet?

…shoot i thought i had more. k that’s all then.

keep at it!

I come home in less than two weeks and the meet is April 7th. Answers to other questions you may have asked; yes I will be your personal cabana boy, yes I do love penguins, no I’m not an alien, that’s personal-but I’d def PM you a pic, yes you are, since I was 26.

Lol. Fill those answers into whatever questions you want to apply here.

Just ordered my SSB, some EFS shirts and a hoodie, and some Blue Heat!! YEEAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Making a HUGE Biotest purchase in a day or two. Gonna do big things. Ya hear? Big things indeed!

I decided against the farmers handles, FOR NOW. I may put that money into something else. We’ll see how this all plays out!

100 reps of GHR
5 sets of 2 DB clean & jerk

Haha. For real. Today’s training was a warm up and about 10 reps of deadlift with 135 to teach my buddy.

He pulled a 65lb PR today with some correction and proper motivation. I enjoy that!! :slight_smile:

But now it’s Deload week. Prepare for more boring. I literally get depressed by the 5th day. At least I’ll have my SSB waiting on me at the house. That makes my hairs stand up and my spine tingle. :)))))))

DELOAD GARBAGE:

Press 3 sets of 5
T bar rows 5 sets of 5
Lateral band raises
18 hours of sleep

NOTES
Fuck Deload.

EDIT
Just placed my supp order! (several of each)

FA3
Flameout
Surge Recovery
MD Low Carb
Circumin
Leucine Peptides
Alpha GPC

YUP YUP!!

I saw in some other guy’s log he thinks of deload weeks as more of a reload/get strong week.

I am already dreading my deload and it’s a week away, so I told myself I would start calling it a reload week.

Maybe that will make it seem more positive.

DE-load sounds negative.

RE-load sounds great!

Sorta…

When I am just starting deload, you’ll be just finishing. :frowning:

I always called mine reload. For a different reason. I joke with my brother that I don’t masturbate during that week so it’s actually. RELOAD in literal terms… This was about a year ago. Lol

This whole next block is peaking for the meet. It’s basically an extended REload with a bit of work mixed in.

REload training:

Tried some kneeling jumps. Ehh… we’ll see if I wanna do them again.

Deadlift
3 sets of 5

GHR

3 sets of 10 w/EFS mini

That’s it.

I’ll be home before the end of the week!
