Lift With Intensity

I come back and see this… I will now return to solitude…

AC, come at me bro

Herc, thanks man, I need more LWI, obviously but also need more speed off the floor. Deficits pulls to be used next year.

Scj, well, to be honest, my bar weight is 47#, so it was really 3+, lol. But hey, who’s counting?

Elmore, umad?

Well, my partner can’t make it the pl gym, so debating going solo there today to hit the last session of #29 or just do it at home. Either way, gotta go out of 2011 with a bang

LWI

Well, still haven’t gotten that last session in yet, as things have gotten pretty busy pretty fast. Good thing is, is this was aplanned deload week, so I’ll hit it tonight and take it easy this week, and crush it for the next few months leading up to the meet.

Why so busy? Fostering two dogs now! Aren’t they adorable? They’re so sweet and the get along with my girls amazingly. Everyone’s happy, not sure if we’ll keep them or not yet, but we’re taking our time to see if they fit with our schedules and not disrupt too much. Honestly, at least these two give me a reason to get outside and walk in the morning.

Hope everyone’s 2012 is better than 2011, in every way

OMG pits are SO VICIOUS!! HALP! HALP!!

Walk dogs x 30 minutes

Done. I’ll make up for the lack of volume in the deload this week.

LWI

just catchin up and Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year to you too, MiM!

30 minute walk with dogs this morning. Well, having these dogs around gives me at least and hour of walking every day. Watch out Greg, I’m coming to AB-TOWN TOO!!!

LOL, not.

30 min walk again this AM. I almost enjoy getting up that early now, so I can roam the empty streets with these beasts, haha.

“Deload” this week, meaning no structured PL sessions, so I’ll work on some things and feel out the sessions. Probably hit some upper shit today, lower next time, and start back up with #29 on Saturday, which will be a 2x benching session, squats and GM’s. If I can get to the PL gym, I’ll throw in SSB squats as well.

One very important and depressing thing I noticed this morning, in regards to my neck size (lol)… Bogey, the male dog we’re fostering, has an 18" neck. How sad is that? I’ll be including a billion times more neck/trap work now. I can NOT have a dog in my house with a bigger neck than mine. That’s just not cool…

LOL

Pitbulls have to have big necks … they have those big ass heads protruding anteriorly from their bodies. Look at bulls or any other mammal with a big ass head protruding anteriorly from their bodies … they’re necks are huge.

Good point.

So what you’re saying, is that I need to walk around all hunched forward, so my neck has to work harder to keep my head up, and that way I’ll get a thicker neck?

Broscience, proven again. Thanks :wink:

How about all of them? That would be 10 horns and 4 warthog tusks. That should do the trick

hahaha when you arrive in AB-Town you might find that you’re the only one there lol

Happy New years buddy

Spar, indeed it would.

Greg, LOL, yeah right dude. Happy New Year to you and your wife, Bro Rogan.

Last night, just did a bunch of shit with bands for upper back/delts/neck. Feel good this morning, should hit some light lower body shit later, maybe try for a 225 front squat PR instead though, and wreck some other shit. I don’t “deload” well. dealwithit.

Eager to hit the next 12 weeks of meet prep with full intensity. I know there’ll be high’s and low’s, but that’s all part of the game. Shooting for some big numbers come March 31st. Meet will be 1 year since my first meet, and I’m hoping to hit +50# sq/dl PRs from the last one, and +75 on my bench, since that meet’s benching was less than stellar, haha.

Here’s to a PR breaking 2012.

I was looking at the state records for 100% raw, to see how far I have to go before I can break some of those bitches (it’s a long way…) and found out that the guy I trained with awhile back and will be training with on Saturday is the state record holder for his age group (35-39) in the 242 class in squat/bench/dead and total.

I was like WTF? so I sent him a text asking if I was reading that right and he’s all, “Hell yeah, clean sweep! And they’re going up March 31st! SHEIKO!” Bastard. Really lights the fire under your ass, when in the company of those way stronger than you. Looking forward to Saturday.

LWI!!

Dude that is pretty cool that you get to train with some strong ass mofos. Next time you have a heavy hard set you need to do try ammonia or nose torque that shit is like invisible ass fire. Both times i’ve tried it i felt like i was hellbent on killing something. There is not a song available that can get me to that intensity/mindset. Meh a little off but you get the point.

Oh and we both have a meet on the same day thats cool. Even though i mostly lurk, i will be following how you do.

Yeah, I really need to pick up some of that stuff. Next time I place and EFS order or something on Amazon, I’ll try to get some.

Lurk away, amigo, I’ll be checking in on your log for your progress leading up to and beyond your meet as well.

SFW and LWI!
