I’ve always heard eating olives will do that. I avoid those things like the plague ;)[/quote]
Hmm that explains alot then. I really like fresh mushrooms and black olives, especially on pizza and I eat pizza frequently.
Don’t worry, Spocky. You’ve got lots of dirty old men creeping around your log. You’ll be ok. We’ll just keep driving our vans past the place and checking it out
Hey Spock, rack pulls are good. Do you have those step up boxes in your gym? Maybe you could use those or you could stack up some bumper plates as well. Those things are easier to manipulate to the right height. You could also stand on plates in the rack as well.
125 x 5
135 x 3
140 x 8 ← Once again I farted on the 3rd rep. I don’t know what it is about rep number 3 that always makes me fart, but all of the reps following rep 3 were fart-less. Anyway, 8 for my 1 is fine and dandy!

BBB Deadlifts.
Okay 2 SCOOPS (from 2 scoops training log) gave me a helpful little diagram with form adjustments to make. I sat down lower and really flexed my glutes this time around, and guess what, THIS SHIT WAS FUCKING HARD!!

Okay so I really used my glutes more and I got this gym buddy of mine to watch a set and he said it looked like I did pretty good. Maybe sometimes near the end setting it back down was sloppy, but other than that he said it was great. I do trust him so that’s a good sign.
BUT WHY SO HARD? Cause I am not used to working this muscles or something? Umm, so how long until my form adjustment feels powerful?..

Could take a bit. Here is what I suggested to Lula, and pretty sure she liked them (IDK I can’t remember…). These help me to use my glutes better.
Band resisted clam shells (with the shorter bands) - 3 sets of 12
Single leg glute bridges with BW - 3 sets of 12-15 reps
Strict good mornings with just the bar - 3 sets of 12-15 reps
These are now part of my warm up stuff to get all the juices flowing. Josh had me doing these the first session I had with him, and helped my big 3 lifts tremendously.
UHG, they just don’t make shows as awesome as they used to…
ATTENTION PEOPLE:
I have put my request in to have my journal moved to the big boy fun training logs, so if you can’t find me under the PW section, look for me there. [/quote]
We have some down time, so I’m educating these youngsters on proper kid’s cartoon shows and other bad ass things.
As long as I get my Spock visits in my log, I’m a happy camper. Looks like PW is going into hibernation, huh?
Woo hoo! First official workout update in the official training log section.
This is a proud, proud moment…
