You are totally ridiculous. But in a good way. Haha.

Re: Plate fear
Pretty common, in my experience. I’ve seen a big football player, o-linemen I think, absolutely smoked a 395 bench. They put four plates a side on there to get 405 and he got horribly crushed. 100% mental. Personally, with o-lifting, I’ve found that approaching every rep the exact same and lifting the weight the same every single time helps with that, because then it doesn’t really matter what weight is on the bar, you’re going to do the exact same thing anyways. There might be more to it than that and it probably doesn’t work for everyone but that’s my experience anyways.

Re: Benching twice a day
You probably had some sort of CNS activation from the first workout. Again, speaking from o-lifting experience (both personal and anecdotal), if you do the same exercises/movements in both workouts, you’re generally a little more switched on for the second one, provided your energy levels and diet are in good enough shape to support it. Feels good though.

OOOOOOH - @ your 135 bench

1003

Can I be last person in log?

Damn Spock, i wish i had your energy. But alas it wasn’t meant to be.

So here’s what you do, put the 45’s on the damn bar next time and call them your little bitches. Then stand over the bench glaring at the bar, getting pissed off at the bar. Say things to yourself like, “You little bitches think you can laugh at me like that, fuck you.” YOUR MINE YOU LITTLE BITCHES!!! IM GOING TO FUCKING DESTROY YOU!!! (sniff some ammonia) Then go destroy that mental barrier.

This will do two things, first you will think of the weight as small, therefore you will be less intimidated. Second it will take your attention away from failure and instead put it on succeeding. Profit??? I do variations of this when i first attempt to break a mental barrier. Sometimes i fail spectacularly, but more often than not i succeed.

I also like what Jonty said about approaching each set the same. Although you have to make sure that approach is solid one to begin with. IE one that sets you up for success as much as possible but not failure.

Potential music to listen to when attempting to break mental barrier.

Respect for the double session Spock! And great effort getting the job done in the afternoon…

So how many replies do we need to shut this log down? Seems like we’re getting through a page a day at the moment.

GREEEEEEEATT workout this AM. WOOT.

Rep squat day

Box squats

125 x 12
125 x 12
125 x 12
125 x 12

REPS are hard mentally for me. I could feel calmer going into a heavy single than a light 12-er. I dunno, repping always makes me feel like crying, HALOL.

Plate side bends 35lbs x 25/side

back ext. 10lbs plate behind head

3 x 10

seated leg curls x 30
single leg x 10
other leg x 10 plus a few extra cause that leg is weaker

OHH pushed prowler while my kid stood on it x 3 trips. He makes it harder for me cause sometimes he touches my head and stuff, distractions like that while your heart is pumping hard makes it way more AWFUL, Heh.

Life news:

Not much. Finally beat level fog survival mode in plants VS zombies. THANK GOOODNESS.

6/10
6/10

Some cable biceps whatevers 2 x 12

DONE GOOD

or DUNN GOOD It could be said either way like DONE, and it was GOOD. or I DUNN GOOD. YEs.

Umm I really like the PM atmosphere and I do really feel stronger. Or at least I am less irritated by the AM people who really bother me even though they shouldn’t.

Like POsey McPoser. Posin, POSINGGGGGGG POSING ALLLL his whole damn workout. I just cannot stand it.

And today some old dudes (who talk really loud cause they’ve lost half their hearing) were making jokes about how slow they move and how their knees have bascially gone to shit.

THIS IS NOT PUMP UP SURROUNDINGS.

I will try to go in the PM as much as I can. Maybe some easy shit in the AM and some heavier shit in the PM when my schedule allows.

PM is like 16 year old boys doing stuff wrong. Not anywhre near as annoying as old people posse/poser fuckhead.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I love my Grandma on my mom’s side, I am not ageist or whatever it is, BUT GAH. Chitter chatter, yipping non-stop greetin’ every god sOB that walks in there.GE TOUT OF MY WAY.

K end/\\my bitchyness.

Went to capital EX yesterday (big pile O rides N shit).

ME=BURNT TO A CRISP
But at least I won a stuffed monkey thing, ya.

I think it’s hilarious how you usually get a ginormous amount of attention after you log, but when there’s little to no drama there’s no responses xD. DRAMA OR GTFO hahhaa. Anyways, good lift my funk soul sistuh’. Especially the 135 bench for 3. Are you going to make a lifting video of the bench press? You have a squat/deadlift video so it’d be cool to see.

1015

I wanna talk to you and see how excited and jumpy you are in real life.

PMing Phone Number

If the other people around you are so sensitive to someone filming themselves for as far as they know could be a form check then I say they have every right to go screw themselves. You pay gym membership just like they do. Stop caring what other people think. You’ll live a longer, healthier, and more fun life.

As for your 190 - SO CLOSE TO 200!! OH YEAH!

@ 0:20 - Used to stress me out when I was a kid lol.

Everyone was doing curls and benching. Why do bro’s always coach their bro on their curlz? Like shut up and curl. N EWAY
Testosterone sweat box it was.
Not that I’m complaining, just commenting.
Notes: Must arrive 7 minutes earlier next sunday so I don’t have to wait for a bench. :confused:

Life news:
HOLY, i slept in until 8:15!!! I have not slept in past 6:30 since I was 18 and going out drinking/fucking etc…
I was still alseep then too!
My kid walked in to my room and was all like
“Uhh mommy… I think it’s day?”
I was like
“Huh whaa, whaa NoooOoo I’m still so tired…”
Then he was like
“If it’s day, can I go on the computer and play vampires VS zombies now?”

K ya, I am done typing out random boring conversations between me and my kid, ha. Just weird that I slept in so late. Must be my sailor moon dolly comforting me.
