Scarecrows - 3x12x20 (doing these bastardized with DBs)
A1 Chins - 8x25, 6x35, 4x40, 5x40, 4x40, 5x40, 4x40, 4x35

B1 Renegade Rows - 8x45, 6x50, 6x50
B2 Flyes - 8x45, 6x50, 6x50

That final complex was a gasser. I was also supposed to do rollouts, but ran out of time. Tomorrowm maybe.

Today I went to the gym right after work because my son is taking karate class there. Anyways this is quite a different bunch of people than the early morning crowd. For starters theres just MORE of them. And in the basement weight room I had to deal with a pair of muscled-up meatheads ejaculating their way through their heavy sets so f##king loudly I could hear the porn-like groaning over my iPod. Holy crap. I’ve had to deal with grunters before but this was in a completely different universe.

To anyone who might be part of the “loud” crowd. There is absolutely no dignity, nor even so much as a shred of badass-ness in screaming through your workout. Real men, who push real weight, lift in silence. The louder you yell, the bigger a douchebag you are.

Brett - I’m apsiring to join your “achievement through over-work” class. Actually it’s part of a HIGH volume phase of the program I’m following. It hurts gooooooood.

Null - The work wasn’t sick, but I nearly was.

embo, username, and dogg - Thanks for defending my AWESOMEness.

Matty - Thanks for the props, but I think the reason my numbers got good in a hurry was because they SUCKED. Like I said before, I have worked my ass off to get to the staring line. And very nice ink.

‘Loud Crowd’ I like that. AKA ‘Look at me. I’m a bad-ass!!!’

Went for my Friday morning mental health session in hell…

…spin, spin, spin class.

My ass is sore.

Does a grunt count on a heavy squat attempt?

Hack squats - 6x135, 6x155, 6x175, 6x200 (I think that’s a PB)

It was quiet in the basement today… no douchebags in sight .

Nope!!! Of course, if you’re at PF, you can’t even breath heavy so a grunt would be grounds for dismissal.

I hope the disinfectant spray bottle is handy.

waaaay off topic. I’m kinda upset.

I just had a long and dsiturbing Facebook chat with a friend of mine who does contract work overseas. He was stuck in Tripoli when all the loveliness went down in Libya. He caught a bullet in the jaw from a ricochet and is finally back in the country.

“Kent, I have seen death.” He told me.

I’m really upset. But not as much as him. The world is a broken place.

back to our regularly scheduled programming…

There was supposed to be more lifting, but the same pair of meatheads were monopolizing the basement weight room again. This time they added a groupie and as a threesome they were dry-humping their way through such a loud workout I couldn’t turn my iPod up high enough to drown them out. Eventually I had enough and stormed upstairs to finish my workout in the upstairs “weight room lite”. I complained to the lady behind the desk who marched down stairs and delivered a smack-down.

A##holes like that give all of us who lift a bad name. What a waste of good carbon.

I donâ??t mind an occasional grunt or groan when working hard when doing it myself, but there is a distinct difference between making noise because your working hard and making noise to get yourself noticed , I hate that hey look at me BS, Like the kid next to me yesterday, I admitedly was impressed at seeing a basically thin kid get 5 reps of 405 at 175. But I could of done w/o the King Kong noises between sets.

I can’t understand how someone can scream on the first rep and then go on and do another ten!. Maybe a grunt on the last “do or die rep”, but on every single rep? Sorry that’s just being a dick.

It’s the same in tennis, maybe OK on a serve but on a bloody drop shot?. Grunters have ruined tennis too.

I have too agree. Its one thing for a person grunting or some other form of vocalization. But sure as hell not on every exercise. This should only happen every once in a great while on a truly heavy set or a max attempt in my book.True story when I was in college I seen some guy who maybe was 145 lbs doing maybe 60lbs curls and the idiot was screaming on damn near every rep.

Kent, how’s your kid doing?

Ugh.

Just finished my deadlifting. I’ve got 2 liters of shakes in my belly. I’ve got a 5-egg veggies omlette and a salad bowl full flax/protein powder/oatmeal on deck and I’ve NO desire to eat any of it. Holy crap I’m so tired of eating…

I’ll crank out a proper update later. Cav, my boy is knocked flat by the flu. I’m going to culture his mucous and stick it in the bully’s milk.

Im making fart noises while reading that upcoming meal of yours
