The only cardio I have been getting lately is jumping to conclusions and running off at the mouth.
I am in the same boat brother. My dog even pants just goin’ up the stairs now…
chase down an ice cream truck.
all bs asside this is the first time in my life that I have not done cardio-
I swim, and do some complexes its ok,
I am thinking hard… for big hosses like those here needs to be hardish - not too repetive or too explosive like jump squats or burpees, pushups
body weight squats maybe done tabata
sled pulls - you dont have to run.
medicine ball slams ball slams
swimming
I am doing it over running cause I dont have to anymore

I have made an executive decision. Wendler says he is wise who does not lift during the deload.
so I’m not going to.
I am going to try that thing from watebury’s recent article, and do left leg bulgarians daily for the next 3 weeks. see if my funny leg grows at all.
I will also do some stair and hill walking, maybe pull my sled or get my fat ass on my mtn bike. gotta do something. like wee jimmy said, life is no fun when all you can do is waddle up to the monolift, no matter how much you can squat.
have a great weekend. I’ll spend mine in self-pity, disgust, and self-hatred.
Whine Harder!
old lardass
MJ, you are quickly turning into an enlightened guru. As hard as it is, I’m with you on the deload. Mine is next week. After that, another round of 5/3/1.
I’ve never ventured over here because the thread title “Old lardass” quite frankly wasn’t that inviting.
Change it to sexy guy with bacon sandwich. I think you’ll fare much better.
Are you looking for cardio to do? Good luck with that. There’s tons of stuff and they all suck. In my opinion any way.
Recently on the radio I heard about a software program you can get for skipping without having a jump rope or, in fact, actually jumping. Sounds good 
I love cardio! Exercise for the inside. Old Lardass, do it and never stop. Life will just keep on getting better. Add power lifting and you are superhuman.
mj- See let that be a lesson to you.
Your next log needs to be called “Buff, Rich Dude With A Big Pecker”

18" pecker. Sorry. Wrong log.
But yeah. I like that suggestion. I could have called my log “Pasty white chick with a bad attitude”. I may actually change it to “Cheerful misanthrope” for real.
Some of the boys have been pushing the 5/3/1 approach on me lately, and said your the man with the plan. I have been off with my training lately, and I’ve gotten word that it’s “so easy even a drummer can do it” (thanks SteelyD)!
I’ll send you a PM, and thanks for any info you might send my way. Bye for now.

I may change mine to “The Heat Seeking Moisture Missile”… or perhaps “The Purple Helmeted Warrior”… or maybe something simple, like “Mr. Happy”.
how about “Die SchlongMeister”?
Just so you know, I am hideously depressed and unhappy. My wife, at my moment of castration over the weekend, said I can’t do the only powerlifting meet in Utah FOR THE FUCKING YEAR, because its on memorial day weekend. When I resisted, she enlisted my 11 year old son to say that they wanted to plan some special activities.
Fuck,
I’m not even going to try to get that day off from my side job now. i’d rather work than hang out with Them What Surgically Removed What Was Left Of My Manhood.
Expect especially snarky comments on your threads for the next year. Also, just to further alienate my family, I am now in the market for a new tattoo.
F M L !!
Hail Die slongmeister king of girth
I can emphasize- when I met my wife-
I still played Judo 2 to 3x a week work permitting and greco when I could…
on a serious level
I did this against better judgement-
and the chiro’s advice.
I played a big tourney basically I really should not be doing anything like that…
my neck , well lets just say its fragileeee
like shipping an egg in an envelope.
long story short my wife has gotten me to agree not to play judo- or wrestle -
or take jobs- where I might be endagered-
like rigging- where I am climbing 125 feet etc.
so yes I am emasculated too.
could you try to state your case, saying its the only FUCKING MEET this year thats local
and how crushed you are?
and how dedicated a father and husband you are with the 2nd j.o.b. and how your training means so much to you
and all -or is this a moot point…
blah blah blah , sorry to hear the news, but your not alone…

Spread the pain bro - we can take it.
Feeling a little better every day. I don’t think I would have been able to cut to 275 anyway. But, this just gives me more time to put up some decent numbers before my first meet.
I really appreciate everyone’s support. Don’t worry, I will not be on the watertower with a rifle and my santa hat this week. All is well in lardassville.
Alright, i stayed out of the gym like a good deloader, until today. today was the last deload day, with thursday being military of the 2d wave.
Since I was a good boy, and stayed out of the gym ALL week, I went in and did all the work sets from the entire deload week. Just so everyone doesn’t worship skidmark.
Military:
5x 65/105
Deadlift
5x 135/225
Bench:
5x 135/185
Squat
5x 135/225
And,OH, you should have seen me squat. never was there a more spastic, twisting, non-centered hideous squat than mine was today. My knee felt week and really low on my back felt kind of tight, and my body just didnt want to squat. My body tried real hard not to squat. It was more of a twisting partial kneeling thing.
Old Fat Guys should not lift.
Old Fat Guy Harder,
john
WHY CAN’T I FIND MY SANTA HAT???
I "borrowed:"it…
Its with my ninja shit.
I tried to squat yesterday…
on a box or really a bunch of 2x6’s that people screwed together to reach the chin up bar…
275 felt like 405 kind of sucks when you
sqeak when you hit the box
