So I just realized you came all the way back from Africa and you didn’t even get time off? WTF.
What are standing abs, btw? Is that the cable ropey shit?
We have appointments and stuff to do first. No worries. We’ll get a month off soon!!!
Standing crunches/sit ups basically holding onto a band suspended from the power rack. But, yes. Just like the cable ropey shit…
Such a way with words!

I’m having the hardest time keeping my ass down on the bench. I think this is from not having a spotter and blah blah blah. I’ll get it straight.
I’ve been logging from my phone lately and haven’t wanted to put in the effort typing it all out. I’ll update more when I get my computer up and running.

Okage!!!
What’s up brother??
Yeah, come on down man. I’ll show you how Texas boys have a good time!
Good to hear you’re back at it. I know just pulling back for my Deload week makes me depressed. I couldn’t imagine 3 weeks!
As far as my weak points, just my bench. I used to have a bad problem popping my ass off the bench off my chest. It came back recently and I’m really gonna have to do some sub-max technique work to make sure it doesn’t happen in the meet. Besides that, I’m feeling really good about my squat and DL. Shooting for 40lb+ PR’s in each! All that’s left is the waiting.
Headed down to New Orleans next weekend and I’m hoping for good things!!
Glad to be back in the States. There’s so much we take for granted and being gone really shows you what’s important in life.
I’ve been adding a ton of cinnamon to my morning and PWO shakes. It’s been a week, we’ll see how this impacts my body’s tendency to want to store everything I eat as fat.
TRAINING!
Warm up/PVC roll
Box jumps
SQUAT
305x3 (Felt like air)
345x3 (EASY PEASY!)
395x3 (DESTROYED)
425x1 (Added Metal Mystical Wraps. These things made it hard to hit parallel. Will need to break them in just a litle)
465x1 (same thing about the wraps, weight felt super light though)
KB swing tabata (1 rd)@32Kg (this fried my back and abs something FIERCE)
DONE!!
NOTES
Squat is feeling NICE! I’m thinking 525 on meet day will be a nice third attempt!
Traveled to Ft. Worth this weekend from Wichita Falls for my mom’s 50th birthday weekend. Had a great time. Saw the family for the first time in 7 months, drank a lot of draaaaankkk, and ate hella grilled foods. Pretty good weekend over all.
I really like the new wraps, but they are a bitch to get past depth with. I’m gonna get two more squat sessions in and try to get them to loosen up just a little before the meet. The pop on these things are RIDICULOUS (that shit cray!!). lol
I have another day of inprocessing and appointments on base and the leave officially starts!!! So excited to get some off time.
I’m headed down to see a speical someone this weekend and I’m SUUUPERRRRR excited. Ol’ Tex is gonna make the best of these three days down there, that’s for sure!
Other than that, just staying the course and getting my mind ready to compete in two weeks. I’ll be doing a lot of traveling so, staying on top of my stretching and foam rolling is a huge must right now. It’s time to go eat and walk the dog.
I attached a pic of the gym I train at. Good to be home!!
I spy a SSB. Any numbers in mind for the meet?
