Sunday is my favorite gym day. I go in for a nice 2 hour workout. My peeps sleep in. Just me, the iron, the radio, and a bunch of big screen TV’s on infomercials, which I promptly change to ESPN and the Weather Channel, UNLESS the commercial for “Girls Gone Wild” is on…
The shoulder was a bit gimpy out of the box, by the end of the session all was well. Funny how that works, It pissed me off when I missed 295 on the floor press. So I gutted out 2 more singles. I should have gone for a high rep day I guess. The interval damn near kills me, but I do feel better when I do them. Its funny how something I deplore makes my day go better. I guess its my Castor oil so to speak.

That sounds like a good day, j-willy. My boss would have a conniption. Did you join in the puddle stomping?
That’s the good thing about being the boss, or the big boss’s son… Oh hell yes!!! I joined in the puddle stomping. I’m really a 48 year old kid. I like getting dirty on my own terms![/quote]

Really nice speed bench and floor presses. Nothing like a missed rep to get the dander up and drive you forward. Great work!

Good comeback JW. Hard to press heavy after the initial chest work I would think.
Rubber band dislocates: 20 reps
YTWL: 8 lbs
Barbell complex: 7 sets 7 reps each
Treadmill interval: 20 minutes
I came oh so close to skipping the interval. I hated EVERY second, but as I write, I’m glad I did it. Complexes busted my ass. I gave up the ghost on the 7th set.
Over the years I have posted a few photos of life in eastern NC. Yesterday I took this on the 6 mile bridge. It’s funny, Ollie Osprey here isn’t afraid of the cars and trucks as they motor by. I slowed to snap the photo and he took off. I was maybe 20 feet away from him. I have never been that close to a raptor in the wild. Most of the times these guys are pretty skittish when it comes to being around people. I know its boring bullshit, not related to lifting. but I wanted to share.
JW’s marriage moment: What’s mine is hers. I buy her slinky nightgowns; she sleeps in my T-shirts. When she’s cold she wears my wool socks to bed, never her own. She steals my half-used razors; new ones are too sharp. She even wears my boxers. I’m tempted to switch to briefs just to see what she’d do.
Squats in the Smith: 115x20, 135x15, 205x8, 225x6, 2x245x5, 2x265x5, 285x3
Floor wipers: 3x10
Cable crunches: 3x50x20
Ran in and out this morning. Had a day long meeting with the big forest products expert from the bank. There is nothing like sitting in the inquisition all day being second guessed by the peanut gallery. Funny, these guys didn’t ask me to second guess their business decisions when their stock was opening for less than a buck back in October… I had a lot of stress so it lead to a:
I was disappointed with my bench and boards. The board threw me off during the first set. I didn’t set up under the bar comfortably, The board distracted me, I just fucked up. Got 3 on the second set, and was out of gas on the 3rd. Went for some high rep work the rest of the evening.
JW’s in honor of the bankers:
Twelve Signs The Economy Has NOT Recovered
CEO’s are now playing miniature golf.
I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.
I went to buy a toaster oven and received a free bank.
Hot Wheels and Match Box car companies are now trading higher than GM in the stock market.
People are now having to drink water coming from their faucet.
McDonalds is selling the 1/4 ouncer.
6 People in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and are learning their children’s names.
The most highly-paid job is now jury duty.
People in Africa are donating money to Americans.
Motel Six won’t leave the lights on.
The Mafia is laying off judges.
If the bank returns your check marked as “insufficient funds,” you have to call them and ask if they meant you or them?

HA! nice list JW
maybe you just need a little practice with the boards before workin’ the heavier weights?
Rubber band dislocates: 20 reps
YTWL: 8 reps
Barbell complex: 7 sets 5 reps each
Treadmill interval: 20 minutes
Once again, the complexes about killed me. Again, I came close to not running an interval, but I decided to gut thru it. I didn’t sleep well last night and that made the workout much more taxing. Still in a perverse sort of way I’m glad I made it thru the conditioning.
My daughter is off today to get a set of braces. 5 g’s I’m investing in her smile. I’m just glad I don’t have to go sit in the office with her. Life should be interesting at my house for a few days, between a high maintenance 11 year old daughter, and a wife with a short fuse…
In another unrelated matter, I got some cool photos of wild turkeys in a soybean field right on the corner of the road. I don’t know if they turned out. My truck is in the shop getting serviced, with the camera. I hope they are OK photos. It’s funny, the wild turkey is another animal that you never used to see in these parts. Now they are eating on the side of the road…
JW’s morning muse: I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she dumped me before we met.
Rubber band dislocates: 20 reps
YTWL: 8 lbs
DB Snatch: 30x1-2-3-4-5, 40x1-2-3-4-5, 50x1-2-3-4-5
Reverse grip rows: 3x165x8
Rear Delt pull: 3x45x8
The DB snatches are a keeper. I can do them and not get scolded by the gym owner. I do love lifting shit over my head!I’m lighter in the pocket now. My daughter is the proud owner of a mouth full of braces. This should make for an interesting life for the next few… years…
JW’s Statement of the evening: I hate typing, so I just wrote the book in my head. I’m going to market it to mind readers
Squats in the smith: 115x20, 135x15, 185x12, 205x8, 225x6, 245x5, 3x265x5
Floor wipers 3x10 reps
Weighted crunches: 3x120x30
Decline leg raises: 3 x15 reps
My most boring day, abs and squats. I guess I need to do some DB stuff, lunges, RDLs, Something different… Off to the sawmill, we are trying to do yest something different. I think my people are just about batty from shifting gears. Hey, we are working, so that is worth something!
JW’s Thought of silliness: I had to write my own self help book, because reading someone else’s seemed to defeat the purpose.
The two a day workouts are quite impressive. How can you call squat day boring? Keep telling yourself they’re fun and it may stick. Board pressing alone is tricky. Like when the board moves or sits funny and you’re in the middle of the set.
Worked up a good sweat. I raised the squat portion to 135#. Once again, the interval killed me. Thank goodness for Steve Earle, Mother’s Finest, Linkin Park, and Oingo Boingo… They helped me through the interval.
It’s the end of a busy week We have sawn our first batch of logs from Africa. My guy in China sold 15 truck loads of lumber while on vacation. My youngun has a mouth full of braces, and I want a big ole steak tonight. But since my daughter’s mouth hurts like hell, it will be milk shakes, mashed potatoes, and applesauce for her… I’ll have nuts and seeds…
JW’s statement of fact: Iâ??m the man of the house and i have my wifeâ??s permission to say so!
