Spf, its really easy, i dont sleep well so why not get up and train?
Thanks Jack, I dont know if I will be a man, but I do hope the complexes make me a smaller man!!
UN42 I appreciate that!
Day 2 of Complex hell. I’m really trying to get a handle on my conditioning. Once again they kicked my ass and the treadmill did me in. I went home tired and sweaty. Why do we do the things we do?
I went to awards night last night for the daughter. It’s obvious she is not my child. She received an honor for the 6th grade student of the year as well as an academic award for making the principals list she had a 94 average. The only time i was outstanding was when i was out standing in the rain!
JW’s morning thought: Grandparents: The people who think your children are wonderful even though they’re sure you’re not raising them right.
I have been dong high rep stuff on my mid week chest training. For some reason today I woke with the urge to do some dumbbell work, it morphed into doing some heavy DB work then the gym was loaded at 4:30 so it morphed yet again into heavy DB and Hammer strength work and sweaty treadmill shit. It was fun, I may morph the high rep stuff to heavy DB stuff… BTW, the chest press with a 90 lb db, was a PR or sorts. Never attempted that before… A cheapo, but a PR none the less.
JW’s morning confession: I never slowsdown to think; it’s too painful to spend time with my own thoughts.
Boggles my mind that the gym was packed at 4:30 am. Great DB pressing. You’re back to being the complex king. A late congrats to your student of the year. She sounds like a great kid.
Thanks, everyone. We sure are lucky to have a bright and talented daughter. She is out for the summer so now its going to be fun around the house!
Dateline: Friday, 4:31 am Complex day
Barbell complex: 5 sets 5 reps each
I’m doing 135 # SLDL, high pulls, bent row, 40lb OHP, and squats in the Smith with 135#. In the last squats I tweaked my back so no treadmill running today. I went home and stood in the hot shower. All will be better tomorrow. It has to be, its bench day!
My daughter is having her voice recital Sunday. We went to rehearsal last night. My daughter blew me away. I tried to get her to let me post the vid i made but I got an emphatic NO! Oh well, Story of my life.
JW’s morning thought: The best things in life are free plus shipping and handling
135# SLDL…way way out of my league!! Nice complex JW…and you are doing a much better job at parenting than I am…my daughter would just growl at me!! And then mutter things under her breath as she walks away…Enjoy the recital!!

Changing the training up for a few weeks. Going to the beach for the week after Father’s Day, so I won’t be able to train. I figured I would start my program back after my week of ‘deload’.
So today, I decided I would flat DB press and see what I had. Well 2 PR’s later, I think I had some more in me. I’ll save it for later. I also got all wiggy and decided to do some pyramid sets. Go figure. Sometimes I’m a glutton for silliness.
JW’s morning (now evening) thought: Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants… Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
Thanks George. When you do new stuff its easy for the PR’s. Still I’ll take them!

Well I ain’t that damn strong, but I do like pulling around some heavy (for me) stuff from time to time. Krocs just hurt my pussy hands. I added the rack pulls because I have been threatening myself I would do that. So here they are. kind of pitiful compared to all the others doing pulls, but good for me with my weenie boy grip. Thought about using my straps, maybe next time.
The daughter has her voice recital today. She is closing the show with Tomorrow from Annie. Should be a good time with all the grandparents.
JW’s morning thought: If God dwells inside us like some people say, I sure hope he likes enchiladas sand Mongolian beef , because that’s what he’s getting.
Squats = great volume
kroc rows = outstanding
Hammer Low: 3x115x8 = really good
Lat pull down: 2x150x8 = If not cheating, great
Face pull: 3x100x10 = really good
Shrug: 3x395x8 = ugly strong
Rack pull from just below the knee: 225x8, 4x275x3 = good
Your having some great all around workouts
“my pussy hands” = think of all the time, money, and energy you could have saved in your life if this were true
Skip, I did get the Vid on my Facebook page, and its on my youtube page as well.
Harry, you are too kind… thanks.
Dateline 4:38 am Complex day
Barbell Complex: 5 sets 5 reps each movement
Treadmill interval: 10 minutes
Nothing sexy or exciting about today, just a lot of huffing, puffing, and sweating! I should have done 10 more sets to make up for the pizza I ate after the daughters voice recital. She had problems with the Italian song she did, but sang Tomorrow from Annie very well.
