Still watching those 80’s reruns, are we?
80’s? Hell, we got a new series debuting up here this week, it looks pretty cool, it’s about these motorcycle cops from California… it’s called “CHIPS”, looks pretty interesting.
And next week, Rocky III hits the theatres in my hometown. Your President, Reagan… gives it 2 thumbs up!

Touche and for the win, my friend!
Bet that took ya a while though…
2nd day DOMS is kickin in. Cain’t hardly walk right.
Should fade by the time deadlift day rolls around.
Military press today. Oboy!
Lovin’ it.
I’m surprised you can walk at all after that leg workout. PRs all over on this thread lately. Great work.
How much time between your squats and deadlifts skid?
about 4 days
Strong work, Skidly.
Thanks JM.
What’s your Military goal? I’m shooting for 200-205
5/3/1 cycle 2 - Military - 3’s day

115x5
140x3 (oops! supposed to be 130)

I’ve done that, I was hoping as I got more experienced it would quit happening.

If only (speaking for myself).
I know I said “later,” earlier. But now that it’s later and I don’t feel any more spunky than earlier, later will be much later. It will be an early later tomorrow in which I will do my shoulder and lat assistance work. Or it might be late early, depending on meetings.
The good news is that since earlier and later are now the same thing I can claim to always be living in the now, now.
Nirvana next.

OK… that made my simple mind hurt… I think you stay up too late at times… hahaha

i wanna be jim wendler when I grow up and get skinny, so 300 is my military goal. I don’t expect to hit that this year (or next) but I figure if my military is at 300, I should be benching over 400, which is where I want to end up. I really want to total over 2k, which is nearly double where I am now. 300 on military is nearly double where I’m at now, so that would be on par. I’m trying to keep as long term as I can with my goals.
This brings up a good point. I should set some goals for where I want to be at the end of this year. time for some math…
keep up the good work. and for gods sake, put some lard on, youre embarassing us…

Ok - it’s later.
Seated DB cleans
35’s 5x8
Weighted pullups
BW+40 2x8,4x6
I suck at pullups for reps higher than 5 now. It’ll come back.
Leg DOMS is fading, but I may take an extra day before deadlifts.

I try to put on weight but it all goes to my head as fat. Haven’t you noticed that my head is getting bigger in my videos? I’ve had to buy a bunch of new baseball caps to wear backwards because of it.

Nice work solider. Back when I was young and naive (i.e. last year) I thought those charts that showed # reps = 1RM were plenty accurate. Then I found that, while my 1RM was at a certain level, and I could do plenty of reps at much lower weights, but in the middle the chart didn’t work right. I had higher 1RM than people who could outrep me at certain weight ranges.
Sorry for the random memory; just thought that was curious.

Yah - I think it does vary with the individual. I’ve known guys who could rep out with what is pretty close to their max and others who could move a big weight once and sucked at reps in the midrange. It’s partly trainable, but varies I think with the amount of fast twitchy muscle you’re genetically allowed to have. More fast twitchy and you can marshall it all for a big push (or pull). More slow twitchy and you can move a decent weight a lot of times.
Others know more than me about it though.
The one rep calculator doesn’t seem to be too far off at this point though, so I think I can use it for the main lifts. I don’t much care about the accessory lifts. I just want more reps, more sets or more weight to make more muscle so my main lifts can go up.
The 1-rep calculator works close enough. based on what I did yesterday in deadlift, it appears to equal my “training max” but not my “real max”. This was the case for military as well. If that makes sense, then the 1rm calculator is good within 10% of the “real max”. for me anyway.
