Awesome work in here, and damn your kid rocks.
Kevin,
Hows your armpits feel after those “cross-country-row/defranco j-row” -Mine get real sore.
Your kids cute!
Nothing more heartwarming than pics of happy kids. Extra credit when they’re cute as can be!
Well, except maybe for pics of massive dogs with DL socks hangin’ out of their arseholes.
Thats one cute kid! Nice work Kev…your son looks like he could be a bouncer AT HIS AGE NOW! Looks like hes looking at the guest list and saying “nope your not on the list you gots to GO NOW!”
Too much cuteness!!
Thanks KM, that helped get me out of my dark mood.
Wow, Your DL grip looks wide (to me). YOur baby is very cute. Hope that knee lets you squat again soon.
PeteS thanks- felt good to do some squats.
I need allot of form work with these- but it felt good
Fischer- my armpits and lats felt like I got hit with a bat
yesterday Huge Swole today- hurt like hell
PG- thanks man kid is gangster and a flirt
Matty your not kidding - R is like my height already at 33 and change inches.
Cav chin up- keep smiling.
Nadia thanks for the visit- I pull conventionally normally-
snatch width pulls are just to make it more fun
feeling some soreness in my glutes- and my neck is stiff
not bad for only squatting 2x in a year.
yay
Nice work in here Kev!
Your kid’s gonna be a ladies man for sure. It kind looks like he is texting on a cell phone already.
“Just a minute dad, I have to get this girls number into my phone”
ddot- thank you and you are so right-
I get shaken down for electronics every night when Im home
and he macs on ladies now all the time already.
heading out to train- now . some upper crap and conditioning
I have a an old familiar kind of soreness from squats
my shoulders are tight it has been a while.
ok - what was a mild glute sorenes
has moved on - glutes, hips hams all sore
but my shoulders are sore in a way after pressing or pulls never happens.
upper back too.
one session and I am already thinking of how to cycle front squats and box squats.
also I hit 4 solid days of training for the first time in a few months.
training 10.7.11
pvc and lx ball work
a ton of mobility- stuffs lunges scap work hip and glute work more shoulder shit
big circuit of
pullup dip face pull hanging leg raise 4x10-12
bb complex 65,95,135,155 x5
BO row, RDL ,power clean- pushpress
A1 pendlay Row 185 3x5 225 5x3
A2 loaded dip +45 8x8
B1 floor press flat legs 135x10 3x185x5
B2 low pulley row v grip 4x8-10
TRX a ton of stuff 5 rounds
including in no order
dips, pushups, flys, rows, face pulls, roll-outs, inverted pike, glute bridges and some other shit
Notes- feeling good- had a good week of training
that tired good sore feeling
really feel it in the shoulders
should have done some meadows swings today
bb rows where hard today should have done db or some other machine rows
Dips felt good- left elbow got a lil fussy
floor presses with no legs- fischer suggested these as a supplemental pressing move
to protect the neck-
uhm these are fucking hard and found a way to keep the neck neutral and safe
no cage or hand off made them kinda hard to do.
I did notice the smith machine of all things has a pair of hooks
outside the machine itself- maybe they could work.
TRX - I like it. bought it used on Ebay- but its great just need to figure out
more stuff to do with it.
thanks for reading
yeah dude floor presses are a different animal, I liken them to those Z presses that you do which also takes the legs out of the equation (I think)
nice work.
I remember seeing fedor eliemenko (?) doing military press seated on the floor with his legs out front of him and elevated a little…just jogged my mind when you were talking about the floor press…totally random!

that is why I do not care to see my abs.
good news on the squats Kev. do it smartly…
You are killing it in here Kev! Good Job!
Catching up. Really nice stuff lately. Looks like you are feeling good. You should be pulling mid to high-4’s by now based on the work above.
Looking strong Kev. Push pressing 225 is quite impressive. Isn’t that 40 lbs above your BW? I’d have to press 300 to do that.
First- thanks for all the support
It is great motivation learning from you all.
Matty is that you in your Avi- Nice!!!
floor presses are hard- will stick with Db’s
Thank you Frenchie I am a foodie too
I am being very very careful with squats and knee
( and hips , shoulders, ankle and neck :)))
thanks Colin Im on a good blast right now
Steve- thank you - its about 45 to 50 lbs more then I weigh
today in gym clothes and sneakers- I weighed 184 but Im feeling pretty good
training- 10.10.11
med ball rolling, agile 8 a ton of spiderman lunge complex stuffs
Cressey wrote an article about it I can link eventually
lots of activation skipped the bb complex for a ton of OH squats

D Kroc Row

E Pallof press 4xlots
Tabata Spin bike 8 rounds 20/10
Notes-
OH squat FTW ok felt great after these but locked it down
to not get into stupid shit with the knee.
lower back felt stiff on cleans so I switched to trap bar
I vacillate with these - thinking I should be just repping out with it.
ok the 515 pull was a huge rush!!
but I got dizzy and nearly busted my ass and kinda passed out standing up with the weight in my hands
thought it would be wise to cut it short
wrapped up with some Kroc rows, and abs
thinking with some work I can rock 130 for 20 .
thanks for looking.
other random shit
think I lost my wrist wraps
and I want to buy knee sleeves- will be hitting up the usual gear suspects for advice.
been trying some of this carb cycling thing- except its from Keifer- so its like
eating carbs at night after training and none or less of them in the day.
hmmmm.
and my D3 school canceled its wrestling team-
20 years later it made me teary.
those bullshit jr or D3 colleges give bums like me a shot-
at actually going to school for a reasonable price and
maybe believing in yourself
Signs of the times I guess, Im sorry to hear that. Fucking Kroc rows huh…your a manimal! oh yeah that was me 21 years ago (tear)
“Steve- thank you - its about 45 to 50 lbs more then I weigh” but who’s countin?
Krocs with 130#ers? Trap bar DLs of 515?
Dude, are you using, you know, stuff? Maybe running a cycle of metmucil and fish oil?
Really great damn workouts you’re having.
Matty thanks- yeah upsetting but on the other hand
I did bupkis to help with alumni crap
thought pauying some cash for school was enough
Hel - thanks I am on a good blast right now.
feels good.
about the kroc rows- getting less than say 20 reps- makes them just heavy ass db rows
but it will happen soon.
and Oldman Powers forgot to thank you for popping in-
thank you I have pulled 455 for a double but cant budge more then that.
I am figuring out - how to rotate some stuff here and like where its going
what I am also figuring out is you really cant move your pull with out squatting.
OH squats at 135 tell me loading can start to happen soon.
