Inky is just being a pansy with squats. He’s so much stronger than that it’s not even funny. If he doesn’t hit a super huge PR in 3ish weeks, I’m disowning him as a friend. Yup. I said it. Deal with it Joyce.
just wanted to say hi! hehe, and your squat rack inspiered me to make my own rack-deadlift-rack:p since my gym didn’t have one. I think the 4" by 6" nailed and glyed together should be able to hold any weight i’ll ever lift off it.
Thanks Dixie
Hai Toots!
MiM- I’m working on them, and I know you’re catching up to me…I gotta fix that shit!!
Court- So if I don’t hit a big squat PR in a few weeks, you’re de-friending me? Hmmm…maybe I’ll take a break from squatting 
Halfbreed- Right on man, I’m sure it’ll be able to hold anything you’d put on that thing, nails and glue are stronger than the wood itself!
Well, the “fitness center” at the hotel had 2 treadmills and 1 recumbent bike. That’s it. So I didn’t get anything done other than 45 minutes of cardio yesterday. I’m achin to lift something tonight, I think squats are up, should be interesting 
Thanks for the encouragement bud.
I love using the bands for hijacks, they are not expensive, and are great for training bench and for warming up before training.
How did squatting go?

Unfortunately, it didn’t. I was up until 11:30 working on school shit and there was no way I was going to attempt lifting that late. So I’ll get to it tonight, soon as the kiddies go to bed.
Holy shit! Happened to find myself near the pullup bar at work, and thought I’d give 'em a shot.
15! PR anyone?
that is awesome. 15… now I have to kill you.

Bring it on, Frenchie!
When I can hit 20, I’ll video it! And to think, I remember not long ago where I could barely get 2…
10-5-10 SQUATS “3” week of 5/3/1
Finally got around to squatting, although it wasn’t until about 10pm! After tonight, I think I’ll keep on with the 5/3/1 for the main lifts for now, and then try Coan’s Squat Routine when my squat fails me again.
On with the (little bit of) work:
Warm-up with bar/95/135 x some
Work sets
180x3
205x3
230x3 *Decided to only do 3, and then work up a couple of singles to try and redeem myself after last week
250x1 (Failed 245 last week)
265x1 PR (This had been a “calculated max” a while back, but never actually hit it. Felt good.
275x0 (For lulz I guess)
Wanted to do more squats/leg stuff, but they were toast.
Abs (I swear I’ll keep up with these…eventually)
Ab Wheel x 10 twice
Crunch with hard squeeze at top x 15 twice
Leg raises x 15 twice
Side planks x 60 sec/side twice
Video of top “working set” and two singles.
I want to see the 275x0 video!!! So I can lulz!
Congrats on the PR. Told you you’re not as big of a pansy as you were building yourself up to be.
PS. I’m so nice to my friends that I wish I could clone me so I could have me be friend-nice to me too.
very nice squats and done at 10pm too? I bet you would have killed the 170 if you could have done it earlier in the day. Doesn’t your sleep take a beating when you workout that late?
Court - There is video of the fail, but it’s basically me dropping down, coming up a wee bit for half a second, and then “FAIL!” Thanks for the words of encouragement though
Dixie - Thanks for the link, looks tough but kick ass
N - Thanks. I don’t get enough sleep anyway, so I can’t say that lifting late has any negative effects on my sleep. I can lift, shower, and go to bed if I want to. Usually when I lift that late I “cool down” by playing with the videos and logging stuff here, and when that’s all done, I go to bed.
You need more sleep!!! What time do you wake in the morning for the day?
There’s a magic cure for not getting enough sleep…
Same for headaches and stress and everything else or so I’ve been told…

MiM - I get up by 5:30 everyday during the week, and usually don’t get to sleep past 7 on weekends (and if it’s a Prowler Saturday, earlier!)
