CBear - hahahahahahahaha I can always count on your for great analogies! <3
Can’t wait to see you Sunday!
Had a good workout today… had my knees wrapped for the first time when squatting… OMG… UBER PAINFUL! And my wraps weren’t even that tight! I don’t know how people can survive wrapping their knees really tight…
Barbell Back Squat (250 as my max)
65% of 1RM - 5 reps @ 165
70% of 1RM - 5 reps @ 175
75% of 1RM - 5 reps @ 190
Step-ups
3 sets of 6 reps @ 155 lbs
DONE! =D
Oh yeah… then I had a 2.5 hour massage! =D
Here is my last set of squats
190 for 5 reps…
JUST hitting depth which is exactly what I am looking for right now ;D
(Oh yeah… keep in mind this is a DE-LOAD WEEK! We go for heavy singles next week =D)

I THOUGHT about sneaking some in… but thought I would save my Kroc fury for Saturday. I am debating between the 85’s and the 90’s… Hmmm…

One of the guys on here got teased by me when he appeared to be rowing less than you. Go for 95s

sweet…
you always show them on your dominant side I am assuming…how do they feel on the left?
Big Jim (squat1000b700) - thanks! It’s b/c of you that I even do them! =D
Skye - haha heck yeah they are! I see lots of big boys rowing between 40 and 70 lbs… Pffft! haha ;D
Betty - Yes I show my right side for a couple of reasons… I want to show whichever arm I do first b/c I am fresher and it looks better… also since I do my strong side first, I know I push myself to the limit… and then I HAVE to do that many with my weak(er) arm… I refuse to quit… if I did my left arm first I may have given up after 17 or 18…
but since I knew I got 20 on my right side… mentally I force myself to do the same on the left… make sense?
And the left side feels OK… a little weaker… and probably a tad sloppier… but it gets it done! =D
yep, makes sense…kind of…cause I have been under the assumption start with the weaker side as far as unilateral stuff…meh.
whatever works, right?
I think you are making us all into kroc-row heads…gonna give them a try myself!
Yeah Betty… I have also started with my weaker side plenty of times on other exercises… I guess it kind of depends on my mindset at the time… (i.e. can I REALLY push myself today? or do I need to take it a little easy and focus on form? you know…?) =D
I started, on your inspiration.
Nice squat and wow you have great legs.
Are you kidding me on those kroc rows? Holy Shit! Nice work.
Jim you are one stout mo’ fo’, I think I need to move to kentucky to train with you.
Alisa - that is so cool! That makes me very happy! You must keep me updated! =D
Free - Thanks so much! Squat is what I am most nervous about at the meet…
Haha I keep shocking myself on the rows too… every time I do them I am like “seriously? Did I just do that? DAMN!”
Yeah Jim-bo is awesome! Great coach, great friend, great guy! =D Always willing to help!
Took today off! Upper back is SMOKED from yesterday and I have been tired all day… big surprise! =P
I have heavy deadlifts tomorrow… work up to 95% of my max… we will see how that goes… may try to get a video =D
Sorry bout the tiredness…it SUCKS!! grr…
Is it getting hot down there as well?
When do your tests come back, if you dont mind me asking?
I have to go to the lab this week now that I think about it!!
Have a good day…
Hey Betty! Yeah it does suck… but I woke up feeling a bit better this morning. Yes it’s HOT! 85 and super sunny… so it feels like it’s in the 90’s… plus we tend to have so much humidity it feels like a CLOAK… YUCK! Oh well… we had lots of cold, crappy weather before this… so i’ll take it!
tests should start “trickling in” (as the receptionist said… pun intended I’m sure) in the next couple of days. But they all get sent to the Dr.'s office for her review… the Saliva test will take another couple of weeks to come back in. My appt is at the end of May…earliest they could get me in =( but they also said they will call me if they get anything back that looks really questionable that needs immediate attention… so… looks like it’s another 4 weeks or so… :::SIGH::::
And I never mind you asking! I will talk about it all day! I hope people can relate to what I am going through and learn from it =D
Had a FANTASTIC workout today! Was supposed to work up to a heavy single on deadlifts using 95% of my max… it was supposed to look like this:
Deadlifts
5 reps @ 75%
3 reps @ 85%
1 rep @ 95%
I was going to use 325 for my 1RM here since I REALLY wanted to pull over 300 today >;D
So I was supposed to pull 245 for 5, 275 for 3, 310 for 1… well got my numbers a little mixed up on the first set… here is how it went
5 reps @ 240 <---- felt pretty good here
3 reps @ 275 <----- first 2 were PRETTY! Last one, not so much!
Then I was DYING to go for 315… since it’s my highest pull ever… however I pulled 315 conventional… I have never pulled it sumo style before, and when I pulled it conventional… it was pretty ugly. I was nervous as hell… but I went for it and I GOT IT!
I was so PUMPED! It felt so freaking easy! That was the most exciting part. At first it felt nailed to the ground… then once I got it off the ground it FLEW up! I have it on video… will load it tonight when I have my laptop back… It seriously went up FAST! I REALLY think I can pull 350 now at this meet! YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Then I did:
Pullthroughs (focused on bringing the hips which is super important in sumo)
4 sets of 16 @ 72.5 lbs
Ab wheel
4 sets of 10
