But, that’s too simple! Where’s the super complex nutritional tips and crazy exercise lists like the 1-legged donkey curl press?

Took some White Flood about a half hour prior, in an attempt to combat the tiredness and general “not feeling it” that’s crept in lately, and well…that fixes that problem!
Chest didn’t get the pump I was hoping for, but I didn’t do a chest dominant workout, tri’s on the other hand, were so full feeling, it was great. Off day today, may get a little cardio in, may just chill out tonight.
Thanks for stopping in everyone, it helps motivate, ya know?
you should paint your rack with like knarly flames and skulls and ponies!!! (I’m a genius). Your squat will double if you do that. It’s a fact.
you could even staple some motivational pics to it… now I really want one.lol.

Ponies = 2010
Unicorns = 2011.
J/S.
don’t forget puppies and rainbows!
Shit, ok, so now I need to paint the rack, and put ponies (for this year), unicorns (for good luck next year?), puppies, and rainbows on it? Sheesh, I mean if you guys think it will help, I’m sure I could doodle some sweet art on it in between sets…
Deadlift Deload tonight, can’t say I won’t push harder than a deload should be, but I’ll hold back.
In other news, 213.4# this morning, whatever I’m doing is working. I wasn’t going to weigh myself until Saturday, to keep it a weekly thing, but I figured why not? Glad I did. Finally, it looks like I can drop some stupid weight, without something as extreme as the v-diet.
Where the ‘magic’ happens.
I guess it would be more magical with some unicorns though…
Took advantage of my break at work, hit the pullup bar (yes, I’ve built one at work) for a few sets. Haven’t used it in a long while. Couple years ago I was doing this pullup program to try and get up to 20 reps, and started at like 3 I think. I would up getting up to 15, but it killed my elbow from doing them every day.
i had backed off and done them “recreationally” on the occasional break at work, but figured i should do some today, and re-incorporate them a couple times a week at least, along with dips on the forklift (haha, great multi-exercise machine there!).
Overhand (Pullups) 1/2/3/4/5
Underhand (Chins) 5/4/3/2/5* Tried a max set, rather than just 1 rep.
Forearms are feeling the buzz more than anything else. Hey, grip increase, DL increase, what’s not to love about that? Time for proteinz, as FM would say.
Yay for bored brothers.
fun pic 
Thought you’d like that, nlmain
DL Deload tonight
135x5
175x5
205x5
Felt like doing one more, 235x5
Pendlay Rows-First time doing these, really tried to keep my lower back tight and arched, but lost it after the first couple in the vid below (last set). Also, I swear my back was more ‘arched’ than it looks, the spare tire is throwing the video for a loop!
135x8 (Feeler set)
155x8/8/8/7
Rack Pulls (3" below knee, set on some step boxes)
185x5
225x5
275x6
Shrugs
275x15/13/15* Last 5 were with some leg drive
Overall felt great. Washing the chalk off my hands afterwards I could feel my spinal erectors twitching, guess I really smashed those bitches! Another successful workout, sadly, I didn’t draw any awesome artwork this time, but maybe next time 
those pendlies look like tough bitches. I will def add them into my workout next time altough I’ll be happy to budge 100lbs.

I have always had a problem my lats in the past, but those hit them good, as I’m pretty sore this morning in the lats, which hasn’t happened from DL’s or rack pulls.
Military Deload tonight
Well didn’t get to the military deload last night, I’ll attempt to later. Got a decent prowler workout in this morning, got my brother to puke, which is always hilarious.
212.0 this morning, which is awesome, that’s over three pounds this week. Maybe I can break 200 by the end of september.
that is great progress Ink! and prowler puke FTW. even with puke I have prowler envy.
If your going through hell keep on going…
it’s a country song that I like (yes, I’m eclectic)
your making great progress here!
Thanks a lot nlmain and MiM, that means a lot to me!

*Noticed, during this exercise, why I have an uneven peak between left and right biceps. I haven’t been feeling “the burn” when curling in my left bi, but always in the right. Well, today I realized that I had been letting my left hand fall back a bit, and not leading with my wrist flexed. Once I addressed this on my left side, I could feel it almost immediately. Looking forward to “even-ing” these out!
I’ll do more Bi work later, had to work on housework.
house trained too!
My lefty is significantly smaller than my righty…until now I didn’t care enough to fix it. Then again, it’s not like I’m walking around flexing my biceps all day, haha.
