177#??? That makes the weights even more impressive. Heck, I only have you by 100#
Great job!
Nice work, OG. Keep it up.
Joe- awesome because I am watching your pulls with great disgust ( at myself).
JW-Thanks, I am aging like the bullet train heading straight to hell; that is for sure! More brown water, please!
Strick- what’s 100# between friends! what can I say, I am the runt of the litter. Youngest of 5, built with leftover parts.
Thanks Jack,
Cycle 4 Week 2 Squat Day “squat as in nada, zero, zilch”
18 inch box (couldn’t find the 12 or 15 inch box)gym is adding a bunch of useless equipment and two more racks of dumbbells that go up to a whopping 85 lbs(even the Goat uses more than that)…place is a zoo right now…looks a lot like my office come to to think of it!
3x225, 3x245, 6x265, 2x285
Zerchers (Fat bar)
5x8x135 I hate these so much I think I will continue to do them
GM’s
5x10x115…
Between Zerchers and GM’s I have definitely found some very weak links… my numbers are pitiful but they will rise ( how can they not?)
have a great weekend,
Peace
Good work OG. Zerchers are a labor of hate for me.
HAHA You’re a funny one. Good training OG. I’m loving to hate zerchers too.
Thanks Joe and JW…how dumb are we? we go to the gym and find painful exercises to do…and when they aren’t painful enough anymore…we hope someone has come up with something worse…sick I tell you , just sick…
Cycle 4 Week 3 MP day
5x120, 3x140, 9x155 I dont have any previous rep data on 155 but considering last week was 145x9; I’ll take it. My 1rm when I started 5/3/1 was 160…so 4 months in, at least something in moving North of the Vag.
Weighted Dips: 2x10x70, 2x8x80, 1x4x105, 105 is brandy new, never been there before previous was 100x4.
alternated with
Seated Cable Rows: 4x10x140, 1x10x150…
no mas, uncle, bring in the closer the goat is done…no cardio…swill protein and walk the dog in the woods for 1/2 hour…not many days left for him I’m afraid…
Peace
If you hate the exercise it must be good for you. Kind of like food. Great training. Sorry to read your dog isn’t doing well.
Got it. Lifting is the opposite of dieting. Lifting, hurts, equals good. Dieting, tastes good equals bad.
Nice work, OG. That’s a lot of progress on the press. 105 is also a lot to add to your dips.
Great work OG. I wish my shoulder would let me do dips. I always hate how the feel, but they sure do help!
Thanks guys…appreciate the words!
ECO- No worries on my dog, he is approaching 14 and has been hit twice by cars…so he has had more like a cats life with nine lives! great mutt sitting next to me right now.Thanks
JW- i know how you feel with dips, for long time I couldn’t do them because of a junky shoulder. SO I am always nervous when I hop up and start banging them.
Jack - next cycle I am dropping dips to give my shoulders a little break. I have had good runs with them lately and need to control myself or I may end up on the DL.
Hel_ maybe that’s my problem, I eat things that taste good and lifts that are easy!!!
Tomorrow is Deads and my money set is 275 which was my 1rm when I started this chaos…so I am looking forward to seeing what number I pop.
Thanks again guys.
Peace
Cycle 4 week 3 Dead Day SUMO

rdl 3x10x155
15 minutes moderate elliptical.

Awesome progress, Old Goat! Great job and congrats on the big PR! You’re tearing it up…
DAMN OG! You are on like Donkey Kong… OK, I’m around my 11 y.o. too much. Thats damn good work.
So you’re really pushing the weight up on the pulls too. Guess I better get in gear or you’ll be crushing my on DL’s too.
Nice work, OG!
Thats impressive progress. Must be the clean New Hampshire air blowing down your way.
Strick, JW, Joe, Math and Eco- thanks…it was a good morning! There was more in that 275 but I got so excited ( like i am 12 years old or something) when I hit rep 6, I lost focus and rep 7 came up no worries but my form resembled my daughters room…a complete disaster! So I tapped out . Really appreciate everyone checkin’ in and being positive! If I could just get all of you guys to come hang out at the corner bar…it would be a better place!
ECO- send more air! I am almost up to a warm-up weight for you!!
Tomorrow I am going to rock some cardio and ab crap and get ready for bench day…need a similar effort to put up numbers before JW disappears over the horizon.
Peace
