Wow thats dedication. I didn’t expect anybody to work out today.
Monster weights on the deads and rdl.
You’ve certainly earned that turkey!
Shit that is a lot of training with a pile of weight. And congrats on pulling a silver lining out of a tough year.
Happy eating. Sadly, it is not an eating holiday here. I could use it.
Nice work brother= Happy turkey day!!
Great work in here, Pete, I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving!
I have consumed more sugary starchy carbs and buttery soaked fats in the last 3 hours than in the last month total. Back home now and need to find my stretchiest pants, and not move for quite a while.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Your deadlifting & RDL is smokin’. One strong mother…wow.
Pete,
Nice job on the deads, it seems like 700 is right there for you, and 495 for 10 on shrugs, your grip must be ridiculous.
Thanks Brian.
Today 45 minutes elliptical
Huge deads and holy shit on the RDL.
nice work- glad you got your bloat on.

I didn’t even make it home. Took a nap on dad’s lazyboy.
Dinner is always at my house to minimize the amount of steps I have to walk to get to the couch. Got to conserve those precious muscle building turkey cals. Its not lazy its smart training.

This.
felt relatively weak and lethargic, and beat to hell. The weeks training was heavy, and yesterday I had maybe 50grams total carbs. This is what I did.
Bench, 140 x 10, 230 x 5, 320 x 3, 370 x 3, 410 x 3 x 3, weight felt heavy first set so I just stayed there.
3 board 410 x 10
CSR 6 x 10
bent laterals 50s x 10, 60s x 10, 70s x 8
ez curls 5 x 10 w/135
band pushdowns 6 x 10-30
prowler 90 x 40yds x 8
after my steak and egg whites breakfast, my wife informed me we were going to the gym today. this is just shameful:
stepmill 15 minutes
treadmill, 2.5-3.0 incline, 3.5 miles per hour, 25 minutes
bike, 15 minutes
now for some tuna on a bed of greens. fml.
20 mintues elliptical this a.m. squat tonight, so will have something more interesting to post then.
I had big plans for squatting in the mono tonight. Squatting in the mono is the only humane way to squat. At about 4 o’clock at work I was forwarded a bunch of files and asked to finish a complex financial analysis before I left. I am an infrastructure/IT guy, not a finance guy. So I texted gym owner, said I wasn’t making it. Finished up said finances around 7 and stopped at commercial gym to do the following, all in about 45 minutes:
Walked out RAWWWW squats 135 x 10, 225 x 5, 315 x 5, 405 x 5, (at this point this little guy in the rack next to me said ‘wow, that was amazing’). 495 x 5, 525 x 5.
Hard to hit depth mainly from Thursdays deadlift extravaganza. But I forced knees out and but back (as though gearwhore squatting) on every one, and on a few had to push myself down even further so I was somewhere near the mark. To reiterate, Thursday has by whole pchain tight as fugg…still.
finished with
cable abs 6 x some
GHR 5 x 12-15
then raced home to read Skippyjon Jones to my 4 year old. 12 hour workday + squats. I am wiped.

Nice work big guy.

Thanks Steely. Not so big of a guy today. I am probably one of the only guys who put his pants on after Thanksgiving weekend and had to put the belt on notch tighter. Still a ways to go, but making progress. Main goals are right now to a) keep strength high b) get leaner, and c) be flexible with training for work and family. Might do a meet fairly soon, but only if these parameters are kept.
