Monkeying Around

When I a) get a camera at my disposal (the wife claims constant dibs on the one I have) and b) when I become less retarded at uploading video.

Plus, I am no where near as good looking as you, so I feel like I am setting myself up for ridicule:)

i bought a flipvideo at Bestbuy. it’s under $200 and it’s about as simple to use as it gets. it has a flipout thingy that plugs right into your computer. it downloads the software when you plug it in and it recharges itself as it’s plugged in to your computer.

and you are right… i’m damn sexy!!! i know when the ladies at my gym look the other way in horror as i rub my buddha between sets they are actually holding back their animal lust for me:)

seated calve 4 x 20-25

DB rows: 120 x 40

felt sick, dizzy afterwards

pulldowns wide 3 x 10, last set with 300

v grip 3 x 8

Then proceeded to do a ridiculous gun show:

Seated DB curls worked up to 65s x 6. This sucks for me but my grip was giving out due to the rows.

Tate curls 3 x 8 w/45s

Cable curls 3 x 12

21s 2 sets w/95lbs, in the squat rack:)

db shurgs 120s x 20, 130s x 20
supersetted w/band pull aparts 2 x 20

face pulls supersetted w/cable abs 4 x 10-15 each

i’m stoked to give the 140’s a run on saturday. i have no idea how many rows i can get out of them.

I am severely bummed that my gyms only go up to 130s. It seems to me that to a certain point the weight doesn’t become as much of an issue as the time under tension, if that makes sense.

I use pipes with collars on them to make the big DBs. I can a db 200+ lbs using 25lb plates. But I’ll never need that.

struggled out of bed and did 30 minutes elliptical. I actually laid in bed warm and wondered if I should bother, then remembered that I had found the peanut butter cups. Figured a half hour would at least diminish the fatness factor. Debating currently if I am starting diet this Monday or the following Monday.

120x40, that’s insane! Nice job Pete.

Holy shit dude! DB rows 120x40?? Is that one set, no rest per hand?

one set no rest per hand no straps:)

DE Bench 225 + 4 pair chains 8 sets of 3, 30 seconds rest between sets, grip between pinky on ring and comp

Close grip incline 305 x 5

DB Bench 125s x 20 stagnant from last week.

rolling tris w/mini around back 90s x 10, 100s x 10, 105s x 10

tricep dip machine 3 x 12 w/stack not sure why I did these

machine lateral 5 x 12-20

quick one today, busy stressful day again. more work w/less headcount than a year ago. damn economy. running around missed my preworkout snack

well looks like I will be squattin tomorrow. the Vikings/Packer game on Sunday is goinng to make the gym a ghosttown, so am moving everything up 24 hours. Feel pretty beat up today but oh well, will shoot for ten hour of sleep and a ton of protein between now and then.

found this very insiteful

At 38 I have been actively procreating for 20 years. I will have lived my whole adult life as a parent. Time for snip snip.

sorry if that sounded negative up there. ha. carved pumpkins tonight, then let him stay up til ten. good times.

just got some pics in the mail from my 8/1 meet from the meet director. will try to scan and post. Greatest thing about unsanctioned meets is the lack of manotard:)

!!!— niiiiiiiice! I’m dressing up as you for Halloween, lol!

woke up feeling really good and was looking forward to training. Had my older boy and my mom over for brunch. Later went to the gym. By the time I got there that good feeling was hard to find.

Reverse band squats 135 x 10, 225 x 10, 315 x 5, 405 x 5, 495 x 5, 585 x 3 635 x 4

From 315 on the bar felt really heavy on my back. Shoulders, hips, elbows, all real achy. 635 it finally felt good, funny enough. Was going for 5 but my left knee wrap unraveled and so I racked it. Also started to feel some negative interaction between my NO preworkout drink and the bacon I had at brunch.

Deficit pull 245 x 5, 335 x 5, 425 x 5, 535 x 3

20 lbs more than last time and standing at more of a deficit. Felt easy. Called it a day with quite a bit left in the tank. Had the 3 year old in the childcare and wanted to get him home for nap before trick or treating. Or maybe I had some sand in my vag. Whatever.
