Thanksgiving, was expected to be a long day, and it was.
Good thing I got up at 5 to workout, although the early morning + not eating + being a bit sick = meh workout
Deadlifts
135x5
225x3
245x5*
280x5*
Work sets for “5” week on 5/3/1, didn’t feel like I should go for the top set of 320 Everything felt heavy as shit, so I backed off in an attempt to not kill myself.
Rackpulls
275x3…and that felt way heavy, so moved to shrugs…
Shrugs
275x20
295x15
315x15
Pendlay Rows
155x8x3
Reverse Pushups (Like a rack chin, except the “down” position had my back almost on the ground)
BW x 8 x 2 Pronated
BW x 8 x 2 Supinated
Then, got ready and we met up with my Mom for breakfast, ate breakfast and went to the inlaws. Hung out there for a little while and ate their “dinner” early afternoon, around 1230 I think. Then had to go to my dad’s house at 3, wound up having to eat again there…ugh, so over Thanksgiving’s these days.
Highlights for today were the comments I was getting for looking so good 
*Mother in law goes “ok, so I just have to say, Jason you’re looking fantastic!”
*Father in law says “Man, whatever you’re doing is working, you’re so much thinner” (or something like that)
*Sister in law says to her husband (right next to me) “Have you seen Jase’s big arms? You should get your that big!” -This I found embarassing and hilarious. My arms aren’t “big” by normal standards, but my poor brother in law is the textbook ectomorph, is short, and was a gymnast for years. He’s got a good amount of muscle on him, and he’s pretty ripped without even trying (which is why I hate him) and probably couldn’t get arms over 16" in less than a year or serious eating and lifting. So I feel bad for the guy because his wife just pointed out how much bigger I am than him (which I have been for a while and nobody’s ever said shit). No real point to this story, other than I was uncomfortable standing right there next to the guy when she said it
*Then my grandparents, who I haven’t seen in a few months, said “You look great, you been working out?”
“Oh just a little” I said. Haha
Finally get home 12 hours after leaving this morning, girls (kids and wife) asleep without much effort, and I’m sipping some coffee, just relaxing and digesting. Going to see “Tangled” tomorrow…yaaay for having girls! (right…)
Saturday I’m going climbing (indoor) for a couple hours, then hanging out at home having a “guys night in” drinking and playing xbox. Probably train legs tomorrow, and leave the shoulder training for after I’m done climbing. Also, I’ll be bringing my video camera to the rock gym, and hopefully put together a clip of all the awesomeness.
Happy Thanksgiving
