I’ve decided to start a new log, as I’m entering a stage of taking my lifting a bit more seriously, and I’d like to log them all here without the clutter of my previous, misdirected workouts.
I see people usually post some stats and stuff in their first log post, so I’ll follow that lead.
Goals: to do a raw meet in the next 12 months.
Age:20
Height 5’11
Weight: No idea, probably in the 210s. I’ve always been of the mindset to not worry TOO much about the weight on the scale, until I decide to do a meet and need to fit into a weight class. I am currently trying to tidy myself up a little bit though.
Some Recent PRs:
-285 Floor Press
-495 pull off of pin 1
I know that these dont mean shit to you guys, but thats some of what ive been up to lately.
You can view the rest of what I’ve been up to lately here, in my last log:
And, from my last log, a quick write up of this morning’s DE Lower session.

It is very hot here today. Weight room was crazy humid. I took that as a challenge, and flew through my DE Lower workout. the whole thing felt like conditioning. Back held up well though, everything moved light and fast.
Beltless everything today.
Pretty tired today, I went to see my favorite band last night. Resulting in not much sleep and too much travel. And not enough food. Seeing em again tonight on my home turf though. After I got home, napped and ate, I hauled my ass over to the weight room for:
tons of mobility and stretching
30 mins incline treadmill steady state
more stuff to keep me feeling good
7/8/11
this cycles gonna be a bit different. I’m working on building some muscle, bringing some RE days in. Also gonna fix my bottom end weakness on my squat ( w/o knee wraps). its ridiculous, i get like 100lbs out of my wraps, thats not okay. I’m weak. started the cycle off a day early, as i wont be able to get over to the weight room tomorrow. there was a weird group of dudes training speed deads and shoulders today… anyway
