I gotta get his album, I was listening to Love The Way You Lie when I did my squats this morning. You can actually hear the song in the background of my vid, probably the best 145 x 5 squats I’ve ever done :smiley:

Eminem is boss.

Ya know what? I’m not going to say anything…just going quietly back to my log and sleep with my strobe lights on…

RAZED IN BLACK.

Friday 07/16/2010. Pull

Landmine Row: 115-170. 140x7. 9 sets
Pullups: 31 in 15 minutes
Hammer Curls: 25-40. 8 sets

110

Sunday 07/18/2010. Push

Military Press: 115-185 (2+1). 8 sets
Bench Press: 185-275* (2+1). 11 sets.
CGBench Press: 155-215. 6 sets

  • Bench press took almost half hour. Definitely got 270x3 in, got 275x2, then had to come back for the third rep. I blame extra time taken on lift, multiple sets allow great arch, and frequent CGBPress.
111

Tuesday 07/20/2010. Legs

Front Squat: 205-295. 5 sets
Back Squat: 295-355. 5 sets
Deadlift: 365-445*. 5 sets

  • FSquat was an easy top 3, similar with BSquat, but I didn’t really feel like pushing it. Pretty much felt like was running on nausea and caffeine, even though I slept well last night and had breakfast today. The point is those PR’s don’t feel like in the too distant future.
  • I think the recent spate of PR’s is coming from me taking Biotest’s mineral supp. I started a little under a week ago, and now I’m picking up PR’s right and left. We’ll see if this trend continues. It could just be total chance.

Sunday, 07/25/2010. Pull

Landmine Row: 115-170. 8 sets
Pullups: 35 in 15 minutes
Hammer Curls: 25-40. 9 sets

  • Last week was horrible wrt getting to the gym. I just… I wasn’t too busy, I just let elements of my life fall apart until I realized how far I was falling and decided to put the pieces back together again.
  • nice progress on pullups, though.
113

I remember when I first met you I saw you doin’ front squats with a clean grip, and I was like 'who the hell does this guy think he is?".

Bahahaha, good times. Keep killin it. I’m back in the good ol’ U S of A in 3 weeks and ready to start making some fucking progress again!

Yeah, but the memory I hold in my head is of you doing BoRows with 315.

Sure, they looked more like bar humps, and you were using straps, but it’s still a lot of weight.

How’d rugby turn out? Did you wipe the scrum with those petite asian children, or did you run into someone who pulled a Macross and transmogrified the field with their ability to hold a funny shaped ball and run across astroturf?

Monday, 07/26/2010. Push

Military Press: 115-175 (got 185 for 2). 8 sets
Bench Press: 185-265 (got 275 for 1). 10 sets
CGBench Press: 155-215 (got 215 for 3). 7 sets

  • This workout has been brought to you by something Alpha has never said, but it’d be fun if he did: Remember, if you don’t get stapled under the weight, the terrorists win.
  • I did my part to prevent the terrorists from winning today.

Wednesday 07/28/2010. Pull

Landmine Row: 115-175*. 9 sets
Pullups: 33 in 15 minutes
Hammer Curlsz: 25-45*. 10 sets

  • Cheated like a MOTHERFUCKER on last set of Landmine rows. But seriously? Was tired of lack of progress. Time to force some.
  • Hammer curls a little better than LRow, but not much.
118

The fourth page? Finding my log on the 4th page makes me sad :frowning:

Tuesday, 08/03/2010. Push

Military Press: 115-185. 8 sets
Bench Press: 185-265. 9 sets
CGBench Press: 155-215. 7 sets

  • Only got 4 reps on top set of CGBPress. Still better than before.
119

Also of note: I don’t mind being on page 2 of this forum, so long as I’m on the same page as Alpha’s log.

Wednesday 08/04/2010. Legs

Front Squat: 205-295. 5 sets
Back Squat: 295-345. 5 sets
Deadlift: 365-435. 5 sets
Calf raise: 400 lbs, 29 reps

  • Changing up calves again. Seeing how many reps I can get at 400lbs with only 3 sets. Figure pretty soon this’ll spur some advancement.
  • Felt strong on early reps. Later sets didn’t feel too strong, so went easier. Top set front squats hurt my hands.
  • Leg days after long breaks feel good, because my joints don’t hurt.

Thursday 08/05/10. Pull

Landmine Row: 115-175. 8 sets
Pullups: 36* in 15 minutes
Hammer Curls: 25-45. 9 sets
Ab Rollouts: 2x11x-
Reverse Flyes: 3x10x30’s

  • Rollouts being done 1 set at the beginning and the end of workout. I figure if I bring it to the gym and do it as part of my warm-up and cool-down it’ll increase my compliance.
  • Haven’t been doing reverse flyes. I have meant to. Have started.
