Today’s weight: 181 lb.
Well that’s interesting. So I’m down around 15 lb in the past 5 weeks. There’s six days to go and then I plan to celebrate the end of a successful diet by taking the family out for pizza and ice cream. Then I go on a seven-day business trip where I will once again baffle my co-workers with what I eat… or DO NOT eat.
I CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THIS PLACE!!! I’m getting snowed under trying to keep up to date on everyone’s logs, and I’m not succeeding. Just know I’m thinking of y’all and will post more in your respective places when life lets me. I’ve been MIA for awhile because life is BUSY! So here’s an update
JUST THE FACTS MA’AM

Forward lUnge - 12x65, 12x65, 12x65
A1 Pistols - 4, 4, 4
A2 Reverse Hyperextensions - 15, 15, 12
Friday
A1 Cuban rotation and press - 8x45, 8x55, 8x55
A2 straight arm pushdowns - 8x100, 8x100, 7x100
B1 Military Press - 12x95, 4x135, 10x95, 5x105, 2x145, 1x155
B2 Pullups - 12x0, 6x35, 12x0, 6x35
C1 corner press - 12x25, 12x35, 12x35
C2 corner row - 12x70, 12x80, 12
C3 corner twist - 12x25, 12x25, 12x25
So these last two workouts were really high rep stuff, and it was a KILLER. Especially that damned triple set of corner bar work… 12 reps a side for twists is a big mental grind. I threw in some singles on the big lift just for fun and was kinda depressed how my 1RM has taken a hit. I’m looking forward to targeting this again come summer time.
Saturday
Saturday was a “free” day before I start my next program. I decided I REALLY wanted to do deadlifts. What kind of a masochistic sicko have I become?!?!?!?
Overhead lunge - 8x95, 8x95, 8x95
Deadlift - 8x225, 6x275, 4x295, 8x225, 6x275, 4x295
A1 Swissball leg curls - 15, 15, 15
A2 Hanging leg raises - 7, 7, 7
I just love deadlifting. It felt good to be pulling again after a month of RDLs. My strength on all of the big lifts have taken a bit of a hit on this diet, but I still feel good and strong on deadlifts. That makes a guy feel good, let me tell ya. And I think I love overhead lifts.
