shit those pullups and dips are just climbing!!
206.0 sucka! I can say that I’m surprised I don’t crave or miss the starchy carbs yet, which is nice. Nothing to report as far as training other than I spent two hours walking around the zoo last night at “Zoolights”. It was fun and I took some cool pictures of some of the displays. I’ll post some up later on.
Hopefully I’ll get to lift tonight after everyone leaves from the party. Also, going climbing tomorrow, that should be cool.
Happy Birthday to your little one!!
Holy shit DF, those were hilarious. Because of Parkinson’s.
This weekend didn’t do much in the way of working out, other than 2 hours roaming around the zoo, and a couple hours of rock climbing yesterday. I’ll either finally bench tonight, or skip it for squats instead. Either way, I HAVE to train tonight, starting to feel like I’m slipping out of the groove so I gotta put the hammer down on that shit. Jackhammer, perhaps…because of Parkinson’s

I find that last line funny. Because of Parkinson’s.
ok, chest and bi’s last night, so I’ll see if I can recall this from memory…

195x5
225x5x2 solid as hell, tough last couple reps, but solid.
2 board bench
205x5
225x3
245x1 (I think it was only 1)
265x1 (PR-but only second time doing this exercise)

85x10
65x12
1 arm BB wrist curl/Pinwheel curl Superset
65x12/30x12 x 3 sets.
A little direct forearm work last night and they’re sore today. Imagine that, right? I figure a bit extra work will help my grip, which will also carry over to better rock climbing skillz. Anyone who hasn’t tried it, get on that shit because it’s fun!
The secret to my GM strength is a strong core. Because of Parkinson’s.
I suck at good morning’s, because I don’t do them and have a weak core. I don’t do them and have a weak core, because I suck at them. I will incorporate them more, because I need to. Because of Parkinson’s.
Breaktime pullups. Used the bucket with tape rolls in it, each weighing 6lbs.
+35x5
+23x7
+11x8
BWx10
I think I’m getting the hang of this, for sure. I like doing them weighted, because doing several sets at BW gets “boring” (read: exhausting) and adding weight = more mass, yes? At the end of the year, I’ll retest max BW pullups, in hopes of finally hitting 20.

You will get those 20 undoubtedly, due to a combination of burnz, mass, and body english. Because of Parkinson’s.
But seriously, you will get them for sure. I bet if you warmed up and did BW first you could almost get it now. Because of Parkinson’s.
you guys are evil.
edit: because of Parkinson’s.
How did those quads feel after the hacks?
Y’all are just wrong. Funny, but wrong.
Kickin’ ass on pullups, nice work man.

I’m tellin you, you will get better at pullups. Because of Parkinson’s.
Thanks Racer, practice practice practice, that’s what’s working for me. Finally done with this semester, so now I can put more time into training. I really need to run more, seeing as how I need to go 13 miles in like, 4 weeks…meh, I’m not worried about it. I just want to get it over with so I can stop having it in the back of my mind. Get that shit over with, and then it’s 10ish weeks until the meet.
Bring it.
Meanwhile, I’m watching a show on the history of tattooing, and it’s REALLY making me want more ink. Like, bad.
Oh Santa…!

Dips on break
BW x 5
+60 x 12
+60 x 10
+100 x 1
BW x 15
Nothing too brutal about it, just doing a little “work”. Deadlifts should get done tonight, with a run afterwards.
sup!
Sup MiM?!
Well took a few pics today, definitely seeing some changes…I think! I was 204.8 this morning, meaning 8 lbs down in 16 days. Now with school out, I’l have more time for cardio (as long as I actually do it) so the next 5 lbs should be cake.
Workout tonight was good overall, although I had a HUGE interruption (child related) that left me with a 2.5 hour gap in training.
Deadlifts
135x5
225x5
275x3
345x2
Power Cleans (Vid for advice, although I know I need to drop down farther/faster to “catch” better)
135x5
185x0/1/1/1
*Missed the first one, got the next 3 singles (ugly though)
Good Mornings
Barx10
95x10
115x10 *+4 rep PR
125x8 *PR weight/reps
BREAK
Rack Pulls (From below the knee, about 3")
*Now I’ve only done these from this height 2 times before, and 275x3 was the most I got
*Straps on
225x5
295x5 PR
*Belt on
335x3 PR
365x2 PR for this height, and the “above knee” height +1 rep I’ve gotten before
385x1 PR+vid
405x1 PR+vid
So I GUESS I could say I hit a 130# PR…but I won’t 
After that, I was done. I tried to do some shrugs, but I was just beat down, so ended it.
Vids/pics to follow…
