Never Strong Enough.............

Damn Straight, they even had Chuck Norris in this one. Not sure if you’ve seen it yet, but all i’ll say is they cracked a few chuck norris jokes.

I haven’t yet, but plan on very soon.

You’ll like it too Koub. I won’t say anymore so i don’t spoil it.

Shoulder training:

Seated db press:4010,5010,6510,7510,85*9

Here is one for ya Tyler.

Rack pulls and accessories:

Attempted seated good mornings:13510,13510 Don’t think i was doing these right, and probably didn’t have enough range of motion. Maybe i just didn’t setup right. I’ll try to give them another go, but will more research into how to do them and set them up.

Leg press:40010,50010,70010,80010

Seated HS leg curls:4512,9012,135*10

James good to hear from you. But what am looking at in that link? Something about a roofer? Is that what you wanted to link me to?

It is the owner of Gold’s in Missoula.

Ahh gotcha now. I didn’t know he was the owner. Can’t be a good thing, might explain why some equipment takes forever to get replaced.

He owns the whole building and when I approached him years ago about sponsoring contests, he told me he was owning the gym as a hobby and basically blew me off.

Commercial gyms are such a fucking joke anymore. I’m lucky that I have the owner/employees on my side at Gold’s in Great Falls, and everyone just stays away from me. lol

I am lucky to have all the equipment I need here at my home.

I agree koub, most commercial gyms suck. I am lucky that the ones i do have, while they don’t have everything i want, they do allow me to train the way i need to.

James i’ve got to see about getting down there sometime to try out that new tire setup you have. I know football is coming up, but can you give a general idea of what your schedule is like on sundays?

Deadlift training: Today was one of those days that i wished i’d just rolled over and stayed in bed.

Deads:1355,1355,2255,3151,3657,3659(vid, made up for it by counting out loud) Didn’t edit the second one for the lulz.

Fat grip deads:1355,1355

Cable pullthroughs:7010,10010,150*10 Easy, only hard part was balance. Back to bands next week.

Makeshift reverse hypers:3sets*10

pvc pipe rolling and lots of stretching.

Done, mentally tired. Guess my great week of training last week took its toll. Going to try and get more sleep tonight and have a good bench session tomorrow. Seems the more vegies i eat the more tired i am, but the more cheeseburgers, pizza and wings i eat the better i feel. Go figure.

Been watching alot of strongman tributes, this one’s pretty good.

Cable pull throughs feel so awkward for me too man, always feel like I’m going to slip and face plant.

Thanks for killing my log, dude
LWI

NP Ink, if you start another i’ll do my best to kill that one too.

Bench training: Upper traps on left side are really tight causing my shoulder to pinch. No pain just discomfort.

Bench:bar15ish,13510,1355,1855,2253,2456,245*9 Attempted to make up for reps, but apparently i don’t know how to count. I am trying to work on bringing my feet in under me more. Feels nice and tight, just hard to be consistent with that setup.

Closegrip bench:1355,1855,2158,2158

Heavy holds:31510,33510 Going to work on 10-15sec holds instead of 30 for a while then somewhere above 400 build on time.

DB JM presses:3510,5010,50*6

Overhead rope extensions:615,815,8*15

Superset:

A. Parallel grip pulldowns:11210,15010,200*8

B. Face pulls:610,810,8*10

Done, much better session today then yesterday even though L shoulder felt less than stellar. Found some new music thats pretty good to workout to. Here’s one of the songs. I also like his wife, she looks really good.

It is hard to say how my schedule will be. I am gearing up to start back on my masters program after some time off. I have also picked up some more class load for instructing here at the local college. I will get back to yeah once things have stabilized.

Stay Strong!

I knew you were busy with a variety of things, so thanks for the heads up.

Deadlift training: Had a shitty week, didn’t get in the gym for one reason or another. Need to stick to my plans better. I might just say the hell with it and start training at midnight.

Squats:bar10,13510,1355,2253(paused),315*3(paused last rep) Felt light but crappy, probably goes with the territory having not squatted much in awhile or did much of anything this last week.

Deads:1355,1353,2253,3152,3755,3755 First set no straps, second set used straps. Just felt crappy today.

Fat grip deads:1355,1355 then sumo 135*5

Band pullthroughs:*15,*15 these two were with monster bands, *15 with light bands. I’ll just start with light bands next time.

Makeshift reverse hypers:*15,*15

Pvc pipe hell: didn’t do any rolling since last monday, so these hurt and i still feel them now.

Done, got my work in but just didn’t feel terribly great. It’s been smoky here all week and that certainly contributes some. But i’ve got to be more disciplined and either go to bed earlier and wake earlier to get my workout in or just workout late at night. We’ll see how the next few days go, might just train late instead then go to town with food.

Bench training:

Bench:bar10,bar10,13510,1355,1855,2251,2558,2558

Close Grip bench:1355,1855,2258,2258

Pin presses:2253,3151with hold, 365*1 with hold, held each for 10-15secs

Overhead rope extensions:815,815,8*15

Superset:

A Parallel grip pulldowns:12510,15010,175*10 These feel alot better than regular pulldowns. I’ll probably stick with these for awhile.

B Pullaparts:*15,15,15

Done, good workout. Form wasn’t as tight as i would like, but i’m getting more consistent with my setup, just need to remain tight once setup and stay in the groove more. L elbow is feeling pretty good lately as well, so maybe i’ll finally be able to get my bench over 350.

Shoulder training: First half of workout was good, then my focus and energy divebombed. The gym was mostly empty, but not sure if training late is the best way to go.

Seated db presses:3510,4010,5010,6010,7010, 5020

Standing military press:bar10,9510,135*5

Side db laterals:2010,2510,30*10

Leaning cable side laterals:2015,2012,20*10

Single arm read cable laterals:2010,308 Didn’t feel good so i scraped this.

Face pulls:6010,7010,80*10

Pinwheel curls:3010,4010,55*10

Hercules curls:4010,6010,60*6

Reverse curls:4510,6510,65*8

Done, need to make sure these late workouts are shorter but more intense. I also need to be careful with nutrition earlier on and make sure i don’t undereat or overeat.
