Good luck with the job. Very nice close grip benching.
Cool!!!
In my field that would mean any or all of these:
Security clearance
Background check
credit check
Maybe reference check…
Good Fortune!
God I’m glad I’m a civil servant. Great workouts.
Well, hope I get it. just had to replace my refridgerator, died one year out of warranty. That in the grill all in one week. Fortunately I got a great grill for free.
with bench training like that, they have to hire you.
what do you do?
Well, unfortunately I was number 2 in that line of picking.
MJ, I have, for the past ten years, worked in the telecom/tech world, business to business level.
Back to the drawing board.
Training today:
For various reasons this will be my last DE day for while. The main problem, at least on squats, is that because Monday always ends up being a squat night, mainly because that is when I have access to the mono, I am feeling a little too beat up from squatting twice a week. Or at least I am blaming it on that. I am going to make this more of a core strength/deadlift day for awhile, see how that pans out.
So for Today:
DE squat 10 x 2 w/325 + 100lbs of chains
Medium stance GMs 225 x 10, 275 x 8, 315 x 8, 365 x 8
trap bar shrugs 3 plates x 15, 4 plates x 15, 5 plates x 10
hack squat 360 x 10, 560 x 7
ghr 4 x 15
decline sit up 4 x 15
sled:
backward drags 6 x 45 yds x 90lbs
forward sprints 6 x 45 yrd x 135lbs
Sorry to hear that Pete - don’t give up on that company tho. That other guy may not work out.
Thanks George. Guy stated he was soliciting other managers with my resume. Something might come there yet. Still have another (hopefull) ace in the hole, but feeling the need to start generating real income sooner than later. At the same time having so much fun with my kid tho…

Enjoy it while you can! (but you know that…)
Shit. Sorry you did not get the call bro. Keep my fingers crossed for ya…
That sucks, Pete, sorry to hear that. My fingers are crossed as well.
good luck. good things happen to good people, just not always right away.
Are you on the sales end of things?
30 minutes elliptical today, with Go Diego Go.
I have been mostly on the operations/project management/install end, i.e. sales support one way or another. Job I just didn’t get was Sales Engineer.
Pete, as always great training. Sorry about the job. You know I’m sending you positive mental vibes from NH.
Thanks all.
Shirt day, woo hooo. 1/2 the gym bailed to go train strongman with one of the big local WSM guys. Still, took nearly 3 hours to get through the benchin’.
Raw warm ups bar x 100, 140 x 10, 230 x 5, 280 x 5, 320 x 3, 4 board 410 x 3
shirt on 4 board 500 x 3, 590 x 3,
3 board 590 x 3, 620 x 3. all went really well. no gay left wrist on the lock out. time to lower the boards and up the weight.
raw 2 board, gray short bands 230 x 3, 280 x stapled, then training partner got 2, so I went back and did 280 x 2, missed at the top of 3
320 x 6. This is so sucky. On six I got a major lat cramp and everything shut down.
CSR 2 plates x 10, 3 pl x 10, 4 pl x 10, 5 pl x 10 , 6 pl x 8
Prowler 90lb x 45 yd x 10 trips, just went as soon as other guy was done.

Lookin good, sir. And your training looks good too…
Sorry to hear that the interview didn’t pan out. That has to be a bit disheartening.
I started reading through your log and got depressed about my own performance so I kind of scanned through and avoided the bits that make me feel bad about myself.
In an effort to scan through and not feel bad I couldn’t tell if there was any meet stuff. I assume with your love of rubber gloves and all gear related stuff that you compete. When was your last one?
Nice benchin’ Petey… geeeeezus!
Ourboboro, What he doesnt put in here is that he sometimes wears a gimp mask and gag ball when he squats… strictly for training though…
