Function Over Form: TheTexican's 5/3/1 Log

DONEMUTHAFUCKAGETTINSTRONGER!

NOTES:

I keep hitting PR’s and, as a bonus, my hair is looking pretty fuckin sweet right now!! Ate like a champ yesterday, will do the same today.

Looking for 495 in two weeks and 520 for the meet! I think I’m good for about 540 or so on squat, but I may shoot it a little short to save a little for bench and deathlift. I’m looking to break 1300 for the first time and keep the PR’s rolling.

CHEERS!

In addition to eating like a champ, I hydrated like a boss as well. I really need to stay on top of these two things!

Lookin’ from the surface it may seem like I got reason to be nervous. Then observe my work and see that my adversity was worth it. Verses autobiographical, absolutely classical. Last thing I’m worried about is what another rapper do!

THATSALLIHADTIMEFORCUZIGOTTAWORKANDMAKEMONEYMOTHAFUCKA!

NOTES:

Ate, slept, and hydrated like shit the past two days. I always fucking do this and I always fucking have shitty training sessions when it happens. Self-discipline needs to get better.

Three week done, fives week coming up. Let’s do this!

Oh yeah, my COWBOYS looked pretty good this week. Excited about football season.

I ate ~4500 cals yesterday and well over 250g of protein. Gonna do the same thing today and keep getting sleep!

I also forgot I took the flu nasal vaccine a couple days ago. That could have accounted for feeling like crap.

NOTES:

Walked the dog for an hour the last few days. Going to try to keep that up along with a few VERY small diet tweeks to get closer to 198 by next month.

Meet goals are as follows: 530 squat, 300 bench, and 520 DEATHlift. Last meet was 1250 and I under-preformed. I wasn’t happy with my totals and I’m training my ass off to get ready. Not much left to do but hit my 5/3/1 w/singles next week, a deload, and a mini 3/5 cycle. It’s all there, just gotta get it done.

SIDE NOTE:

My recovery is a lot better. I’m finding, I have to pull myself back on off days because I’m ready to go and hit some heavy lifts. Eating better is working. Just gotta figure out what to cut out to drop a little fat.

EVERYBODY’S OUT TO GET ME. ANY MOMENT COULD BE MY LAST. THIS IS IT, YOU CAN TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. WILL YOU RUN? I WILL STAND ON MY OWN TWO FEET. JUST BREATHE! JUUSSTT BREEEATTHHHEE!!!

Que onda guey [upside down]? Diggin’ the log and the name. Moved to Oregon for about 6 months and one time when I came back got “If found dead return to Texas” tatted on my left oblique. When are you competing again, and what’re your goals? Seriously strong squatting in here, dude.

Thanks man! I want to go check out Oregon one day, definitely wouldn’t move there on purpose, though. That’s a bad ass tattoo idea. I’m getting the “Come and Take it” (w/cannon) flag tatted on in the inside of my left bicep.

Our meet is COCKtober 20th in Russelville Arkansas. My meet goals are 530 squat, 300 bench, and 520 DEATHlift. BW will be over 200 but less than 220

If you do, go between early July through late August. It rains 22 hours a day, 9 & 1/2+ months out of the year there, and you’ll go 2-3 weeks at a time where you don’t see the sun. AT ALL. Thanks man. Gonna get the outline of the state behind it with a dot where Houston is and “713” [Houston’s original area code] next to the dot. You seen the Made in Texas stamp? Thinking about incorporating that. The “Come and take it” idea is awesome. How big is it gonna be?

Those are way doable goals. How close are you now?Anything over 2-hundo forces you into the 220’s right?
