Christ almighty, what a story.
Reminder to self: always get a second opinion when the government wants to stick a spike in my eye.

Posting this on my fridge.
Glad to hear you’re better and will be joining the world of nasal irrigation.
Jeez! A spike in your eye? Shudder
See this is why you should blow your nose and not sniff.
Glad it wasn’t anything more sinister.
Damn sinuses! I guess they just weren’t designed for us to walk upright.
Glad you were able to get a second opinion.

Ice Storm stuff here this AM but I still made it to the gym so that has to count for something on a motivational level. Today is my heavy day from the heavy-medium-light full body nonsense that I have for the next 4 weeks, ughhh.
Bench- 135x8, 225x8, 275x3, 315x2, 355x2, 405x3x3x3x3x2 I actually think I could have gotten more than 3 on set 1 and more than 2 on set 5, but I am a cautious man.
Squat-135x3, 225x3, 275x2, 315x2,(belt) 365x2, 405x2,(wraps) 445x2, 485x1, 525x1 (really hard), 565x2x2 (depth was shitty, prolly 3-4" over parallel)
Sumo Deads- 135x2, 225x2, 315x2, 405x1, 455x1x1x1
OHP- 135x5, 185x5, 225x2 (too big of a jump) 135x15
Cable Rows- weights x12x12x12
I am too tired to do arms, abs, or anything else.
First your a Manimal.
Second I hope that one day I could lift what you lift. Very inspiring.

Today is the “medium” day for my current plan, in retrospect it is a bit of a misnomer, for anyone not familiar with the concept of ladders, they can truly suck, especially when incorporated with a strict time constraint, and coupled with a deconditioned mofo like myself, so here it goes:
Bench- 135x8, 225x8, 275x3, ladder 1- 45 seconds between micro-sets- 355x1 x2 x3 (one ladder) 2 minute rest then #2 355x1, x2, x3 (two down) 2 minute rest 355x1 x2 x3 felt a lot harder than it looked on paper.
Deadlift- 225x2x2, 315x1x1 ladder 1- same as above- 435x1x2x3, 435x1x2x3, 435x1,x2,x3
and yes squats
Squats- 225x3 x3 315x1x1 ladder 1-3 405x1x2x3, 405x1x2x3 405x1x2x3 this sucked the life out of me, I am a much bigger fan of long rests than I thought. I should probably do cardio, maybe a warrior walk?

Proving that not only do I give bad advice, but I also lack the fortitude to stick with a “less is more” plan, I lifted yesterday, not much mind you, but a little:
1/31/13
Sumo Deads- 135x2x2, 225x2x2, 315x1x1x1x1x1
KB Swings (2 hand)- 35x10x10x10x10
KB Swings (1 hand)- 25x10x10x10
A nice quick trip to the gym calmed me right down
Bench, Deads and Squats in one day?!!? Say it ain’t so!!
The ladder work looks brutal. I hate it when I get a spike in my eye. Your benching is inspiring and the heavy squats are always nice to see.
sen Say,
I say Yes!! It is so, and Yes it is in retrospect a bad idea.
Gorilla,
Thanks for the compliment, however after reading your log and realizing our weight difference I have to say your heavy squats are all sorts of awesome.

I was, once again, betrayed by my frail old body for a few days, got back to the gym this AM however and did this:
Bench (ladders)- 135x8, 225x5, 275x3, ladder 1- 360x1x2x3 ladder 2 360x1x2x3 ladder3- 360x1x2x3
One arm DBell Bench- 60x8x4 sets each arm (core work)
OHP (ladders)- 135x5, 155x3, ladder 1 185x1x2x3 ladder 2 185x1x2x3 ladder 3 185x1x2x3
DBell Curls- 65x8 70x8
I have spent the past couple days taking a hard look at my nutrition, my wife suggested that I write down everything I ate each day, I now have a cramp in my right hand, over a 4 day period I ate at least 34,500 calories, with a high of over 10,000 yesterday and a low of 7145 on Sunday (presumably because I slept in). The good news is that my weight has been relatively steady without my paying attention, the bad news is that the amount of food I am eating is excessive (although I am not a dietitian). Actually the bad news is that my wife took the numbers as being indicative of an “eating problem” and is now trying to make me join something like Weight Watchers or overeaters anonymous, my life is about to get awesome (-r)
I got all kinds of respect for people in age group putting forth great effort.

1/6/13
Squats- 135x3 225x3, 315x2, 365x2, 405x2, ladder 1- 455x1x2x3, ladder 2-455x1x2x3, ladder 3- 455x1x2x3

Done.
Probably going to miss a few days at the gym since we are supposed to “Find Nemo” this weekend, I have stocked up on Jax, steaks and other good muscle building foodstuffs, time to hunker down and stay warm. They already cancelled school for my spawn tomorrow so this is apparently going to be a big ass storm, for everyone in its’ path I guess “stay safe” is the best advice I can give.

Back at the gym today, trying to clear up some pretty clear imbalances, while at the same time getting a wee bit stronger, we’ll see how it goes.
Bench-135x8, 225x5, 275x3, 370x1x2x3, 370x1x2x3, 370x1x2x3
One Arm Dbell Bench-75x5, 90x5, 105x5 (each side)
One Arm DBell OHP- 60x5, 70x5, 80x5 (each side)
Tricep Pushdowns- weight x12x12x12
I could really feel the strength difference in the 1 arm work but the big thing is how sore my (fl)abs are from stabilizing the 1 arm benches. I like it when benching works my abs, it makes me feel like I give a shit about my appearance, I may go get my eyebrow waxed tomorrow, I am positively metrosexual.
Eyebrows beware! 1 Arm benchers are lurking in Gotham and strong stabilizers kicking butt. Nice bench work.
Missed my training yesterday so today I consolidated everything into 1 day, it was a terribad idea
2/12/13
Bench- 135x8, 225x5, 275x3, 375x1x2x3, 375x1x2x3, 375x1x2x3 (This is getting tiresome)
One Arm DBell Bench- 80x5, 95x5, 110x5 (each side)
BatWing Holds- 55’s x5x5x5 (10 second holds on each rep)
BBell Rows 110x8x8x8
Squats- 135x3, 225x3, 315x3, 405x2, 465x1x2x3, 465x1x2x3 (too tired for 3rd ladder)
Sumo Deads- 225x2, 315x2, 365x2, 405x1, 455x1, 495x1x1x1 (exhausted was supposed to go to 545 yesterday so this is all my fault)
DBell Swings- 45x10x10x10
Skipped everything else, tomorrow is already ruined since I am sure I will be too tired for anything worthwhile.
I gave up soda on Sunday and have been having some nasty caffeine withdrawals since, I gave up sugar (outside of fruit and whatever else it naturally occurs in) as well and I am seriously craving a cookie right now. I actually missed yesterdays workout because I had such a bad headache I decided to take some tylenol to make it go away, instead I grabbed 3 10mg hydrocodone tablets and fell asleep, I guess it could have been worse if I actually got to the gym and fell asleep while squatting.
Caffeine withdrawal can be beastly.
Can you share some Metrosexual pics?
No sugar? No caffeine? Damn, what vices are you keeping?
