my body has built up a resistance to antibiotics. I just ride out the painful blisters and discharge now.
30 minutes elliptical. BFD
DE lower:
Box Squat, 13 " box, 4 pairs of chains, 345 bar weight 8 sets of 2
Pull from 1 pin, 4 pair of chains, 315 2 sets of 1, 365 2 sets of 1, 405 2 sets of 1
front squats, close stance, full range 3 x 6 @ 225
Haven’t done these in about a year, and not consistently for even longer. I think working these in will cure some of my ills now. Kept the weight light to work on form, and firing my quads. Only rested about 40 seconds between sets though so I won’t lie, the last one was fairly tough.
close stance gms 3 x 10 @225
circuit of back extensions, split squats, leg raises 3 x a bunch each
30 minutes elliptical
yesterday and today trying to increase the intensity of the SS cardio. My work schedule is going haywire right now, a lot of my training is hard to fit in, and so the first thing to go has been the interval conditioning. I don’t see this getting back on track until the week of 12/1. So, in in the interim I will make the easier stuff a little harder, and try and bump up the frequency from 4 x a week to 5 or 6 for the next two weeks.
hey Pete, congrats on the coming addition! and the big benching. PRs are always so much fun.
When is your next meet?
thats some big lifting pete, congrats on the PR’s.
Thanks guys, there is a meet I might do in February. I am conflicted. It is personality issue with the meet director. Not sure I want to give that person my money. But I don’t see to much else on the horizon. So I am planning my training right now with that meet in mind, we shall see though.

my way of thinking about competition has changed. I don’t really care about the politics of a certain fed or the people running it. for most, it’s a money making thing. i just go in and try to do better than i did last time. i will always compete in the open class, even when i’m the old dude.
Meat, kinda agree with you, but we have also discussed this fed. That being said I will most likely do this one, but maybe as a BOF just so I don’t have to spend the whole day there:)
Work interupting training. Got a lot done in a short amount of time. Unfortunately when I got to the gym it had been 5 hours since I ate, felt it a little.
Seated calve 5 x 12-25
Kroc rows 130s x 23
Pulldowns 4 or 5 x 10
rev pull downs 2 x 10
BB curl 45 x 20, 95 x 10, 135 x 12
hammer curls 65s x 6, 75s x 6, 85s x 6
machine preacher 3 x whatever x whatever, pump the guns
I wouldn’t let a douchebag get in the way of your fun. You can always seek revenge later, if necessary. 
Strong lifting, as always.
30 minutes elliptical. Supposedly taking the day off, at least don’t have to go into the office. DE Bench later. Have a Dr. appointment about my messed up nose later as well.
Looking strong as always. Good luck with the nose. Whats wrong with it??
Let’s just say I used to have a bad habit of getting my nose broken too often when I was younger. It started, but didn’t end, with boxing. Now things don’t drain right. And ever since I have had a kid in daycare, everytime he comes home with any kind of bug, I proceed to develope a sinus infection.
On a side note I pretty much proved to myself that I have been really stupid regarding recovery and mobility work, and it has been impacting my lifting numbers. The other day I was talking to a friend, a competitve PLer and PT at my gym, that I train with from time to time, and was bitching about my DL issues lately. He spot on said ‘sounds like you are just to tight, especially in the hip flexors’. So last night, after getting the wife and the monkey to bed (they are both going to bed at the same time, first trimester for her an all), I dug in the closet and broke out the foam roller. Hit the hips, hammies, and my entire back with a gazillion rolls, then did some static stretching, while watching CSI. Today, I feel the best I have felt in months. Will do this again tonight (heck, nothing else to do after 9 p.m.) and hopefully see improvement in tomorrows squat/dl session.
OK, stupid factor hitting me again. I originally had my doc appointment scheduled 2 weeks ago, at 10:40. When I rescheduled it I changed the time to 8:10, however did not change that time for my outlook calendar on my phone, so I missed the appointment.
Since I was pretty close to the gym went and trained instead. Ran into an old training partner, actually knew he trained at this time at that gym so it wasn’t really accidental. He obsesses about training as much as me, so got some good jaw work in as well. Ended up with a damn good session:
DE Bench 215 + doubled minis, 8 sets of 3. This was done after STRETCHING and a ton of warm ups. Felt great.
Close grip inclines worked up to 250 x 15 PR
Dumbell bench 100s x 10, 125s x 21 PR
Rolling tris with mini around back 90s x 10, 100s x 10, 110s x 8 PR
pressdowns 3 x 20
front raise w/barbell 3 x 12
lateral with ez curl bar 3 x 12
external rotation 3 x some
cable abs 3 x some
nice work as usual.
so you found the foam roller, I think I am ready to
move up to pvc.
I think I may have gotten a few free nose jobs.
they usually came with trips to the dentist, I have ‘settled down a bit’.
Kevin, I just took a look at my poor foam roller and for it’s sake, and mine, I think I will move to the pvc.
Hmm, short Irish New Yorker, free nose jobs, got scrappy when he drank… yeah, we would get along in person… have quite a few of my old friends cut from that cloth, or one similar.
Got in for ME lower today. Brought my as yet unused squat suit with, single ply Metal IPF squatter.
Raw squat bar x a million, 135 x 10, 225 x 5, 315 x 5, 405 x 3, 495 x 3,
Add suit, most of the way up, straps down: 565 x 1, 585 x 1, 605 x 1, 625 x 1.
625 was super easy, today’s squatting was more educational than maximal. I have done this weight raw, no PRs here. This suit might not be best for me, I should have probably gotten the V type squatter, which is how I have been squatting raw for the last year. This brings my stance way in. But since I spent the money I will give it a run. Next week I will push the weight up, now that I know the groove a little better.
Deficit DL 245 x 5,335 x 5, 425 x 3, 515 x 3, 605 x 1, PR
circuit of shrugs, weighted back extensions, ab wheel 4 x 10-20 each
Standing calve 4 or 5 x 10-15
One training partner completely bailed today, another had to leave early, and due to a small family emergency I was running a little late. STill got the work in. A couple of kids training for a raw meet in June were picking my brain, actually wanted to know how to train the squat and DL.
Invited them to start training ME days, we’ll see if they show. Can always get 5 guys to show for bench night, squatting and pulling time I tend to hear crickets:)

Scottish and Norwegian here, love to drink but always expect my conquests to foot the bill… and noone is allowed to have too much fun. Except me, of course.
