no gym this week again, but i’ve done my fair share of ice chipping and shoveling…
and i’ll be staying at school this afternoon to get hold of a barbell before sat/sun.
nadia, havent forgotten you, either.
also, i went to bed at six last night and slept till a lil after 9am. apparently, i needed that. [/quote]
Sleep. I miss it. So. Damned. Much.
That amount of sleep sounds very nice right about now, but that is a far far distant memory for me. In fact anything over 4 hours right now sounds great.
Totally jealous!
did some bench accessory work at the campus gym on thursday-
mp’s, bb rows, hypers, rear delt raises and (wtf are these really called?) straight arm lat raises.
enough to get me movin, feel like i did somethin.
not as much as the guy with 85lbs on the bar 1/4 squatting like a mofo then jumping…
dun worry, he was safe… he had lifting gloves on and a washcloth on the bar to protect his neck.

There was a guy that would do these at the old commercial gym. And I was the one kicked out for “making up exercises” and doing things that were “against the rules”…

I can do whatever I want at my current commercial gym. And while most people would probably consider being kicked out of a gym a bad thing, I feel like the winner here. Because I got out of a contract at a shitty gym. I get to do whatever I want AND that shithole doesn’t get any more of my money.

I’ve not ventured over there in a long time, so I went to check it out. Missed out on the whole Wolfgate (or Wetgate?) thing, I see. And wiping before you poop? Thanks for the lulz.[/quote]
Whoa…what happened?

I wuz here, just checking out the happenings.
squatting at efs-
215x3x2, mighta been 3 sets but i’ll stick with 2 for sure. ted, poor guy, got conned into being my handler for the meet. told me i was still squat morning myself, & moved the bar up on my back some. felt weird as shit but faster.
dl- 240x1x10… did these with molly. her rx was to do 10 singles at 50%… so there were fatbar deadlifts. mighta been over 240 bc we didnt weigh the bar, but i kept asking her to lift slower so i could rest more. seems a-ok with me though i guess, doin 10 quick singles with 85%.
i kept up with molly i kept up with molly!!! woo!!
she told me i did #10 wrong and i had to start all over. i said i was pretty sure i heard my mom calling me home for dinner… ha!
came home to community charity pancake breakfast, ate my fill, and now its nap.
purdy good!
Thats neat that you still get to see Molly-kins!
Yeah, sounds like you had fun (whilst still being a badass). Good stuff.
i shoulda said… molly edwards, not molly g. whoopsie!!
frozen pizza is so underrated.
keeping up with super molly! good for you Bear, doin us proud.
Molly sounds pretty awesome. And pancake breakfast rules! way to go girl 
n- lil ways to go before i can be proud of myself again, but im steppin in the right direction!
bre- god bless pancakes. and breakfast food in general. ok. all food, really. btw, your avi is freaking me out a lil. i like it.
SUNDAY EFS TRAINING
yeah you read me right!
lil diff group there on sunday, but i jumped right in cuz thats how i do.
db benching with bands- red band, 35’s, 9-10 reps for 4(5?) sets
weird as fuck, in a badass kinda way. had a few moments where i’d look at my teeny 35 db’s next to the boys’ 55, 75, 95, and 115’s… then it’d be my turn and they were yelling at me just like they do each other.
i really, really like how willing everyone is to help everyone else. when someone needs a spot all jokes stop for the set and all concentration is on the lifter. soon as set is over, jokes are all back again.
last set of db’s was no bands, with the 55’s… try #1 i got 3 before i felt my shoulder pop and i let go. not injured or anything, just threw me for a loop. try #2 i got 8 reps, so i’m counting 11 between the two… teehee.
michael j fox presses- yeah, i went there. the pvc pipe with either kettlebells or plates hanging from bands.
zach and i used the 16kg bells, so of course i had to joke that mine were the same as his… ha!
ok but cereally that thing is fucking demented. almost no one got more than 5 reps, its exhausting trying to control it and even with 2 spotters you’re still wondering if you’re gonna hit yourself (or someone else) in the teeth with it! vibrated the hell out of my lats and eventually my triceps. last set i went for 10ish, and ‘held’ it at the top for as long as i could… abt 5 seconds.
did 1 set of 3 wg pullups, just to make sure i could… i have a competition with deja to think about.
hanging leg raises, bent knees, 15lb db btwn mah feets.
done!
gonna see if i can top my 5 hr nap from yesterday… and if i can manage to eat my spaghtetti and meatballs before i pass out. had to get some gas station pizza on the way home, my leg got hollow again.
winter is almost over…WAKE UP!!!
Lots of training, eating and sleeping going on in here–good stuff. Hot damn on those dls. I suspect a fat bar would make them quite a bit harder.
That is a really cool idea, those unstable presses. Very badass training, that whole thing.
How wonderful it would be to have all that support IRL. Lucky!
