Worked up to a SHITTY single at 225, got frustrated and then went home.
Haha that sounds JUST like how my squat day went…

barx8
95x3
124x4x8
25 min of low intensity cardio fun
That was really all I did! I refrained from any more pec/tricep/arm work because I have 3 sets of 10 bench tomorrow. I was going to work in some abs, but seriously, I just wanted to get home because I want to try and make it out to buy some new shoes today. I’ll save all the fun accessory stuff for tomorrow!!
I literally cannot stop watching this video every time I get the chance. This is possibly the most uplifting video. Ever. 4 non blonds are amazing btw.
Shoes? Did you say SHOES?
I used to watch HEMAN MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE! All the time. Loved that big cat and SHE-RA could kick some ass.
haha hell yea
Smolov Jr day 4, completion of week 1
131.25lbsx3x7
131x2x2 (was failing 3rd rep)
131.25x3 (pulled it together for the last set)
It was supposed to be 10 sets of 3, but hey i think I did pretty good for my first week. This was my first time benching with this kind of frequency
Deadlift deload
135x5
155x5
Goodmornings
95x5x4
I realized my long torso makes goodmorning leverage all weirdy, all the more reason to do them to strengthen my lower back though, I’m going to need it with this freak-long torso
Cable crunch
"90"x5
'80"x15x2
"80"x10x3
That is great benching! nice work.
Today i was told to try to tighten my abs on the GM but I found that impossible. Do you know anything about this? Just doesn’t sound right to tighten abs while bending.
mascherno! give it a shot with the abs for GM! i suck in my gut instead and you will notice a differance, i do at least 
its alot harder for whatever reason…
beautiful benching Owlie-I can’t believe you don’t need any “warm up” before lifting that hard and heavy.
So today I tried Ammonia for the first time. That shit fucking works.
Last week for Deadlifts, no ammonia, 315x9
This week for Deadlifts, with Ammonia, 335x10
Hot damn.
Oh and it reminded me of CS gas from my basic training days, hahaha.
Andy, hell yes. Is that a PR? I’m glad my log and hilarious bumbling video has positively impacted your training.

haha I can’t believe it either because it is wrong. I neglected to log my warm up. I always do the bar and then 95 for 3.
Workout from today-
So I guess you all have noticed that the squatting everyday thing did not go as planned. I’m on a new squatting program “Russian Squatting Program” I think it is called. Basically you squat 3x week with manageable weight for the first 3 weeks and then going heavier so lets see if this works for meh.
Squats
barx8
135x5
185x6x3
Smolov Jr. Week 2 Day 1

cable crunch
"90"x8

At least I am getting stronger at these. I came down so hard and fast exerting the same amount of force as I remembered on previous sets, only this time I banged my head a few times!
Hanging leg raises.
35/25/10/10 bunch of dropsets to failure…lost track at the end
Your work out is really impressive! (Taking notes.)
Geez your chin-ups are awesome! I love She-Ra too! I actually have her costume… I was gonna be her for Halloween this year but it didn’t work out… =-/
Keep up the good work Owlie!

Yeah a PR for me. It was weird, I didn’t even feel my body “working” really, almost like it was numbed. And before I know it, I was at 10 reps, and I was shooting for 6 or 7, haha.
Russian Squatting Program sounds totally bad ass.
Yes your chins are awesome.
I need to look up these cable crunches!
I want your chins… good work Owlie you busting ass as always.

Yeah, its kind of a disturbing feeling isn’t it? Well disturbing and marvelous at the same time…The great thing is that is awakens you to your true potential, but then it also lets you know how much mental shit you sometimes let get in the way(at least I do). My body is capable of far more than my mind seems to think/allow it at times. Oh well, I will never stop fighting the battle of mind v. matter.
