Long time no see fellas! Wrapping up my 3rd 531 cycle this week but nothing substantial to report strength wise. I’ve leaned up a little and am waking up around 144-145 lbs now. Should be back to logging more often next week.
I’ve decided to make a pretty big change with 531. Next week I’ll be starting cycles without any competition lifts at all. I’m bored, stalled, and just want to try something new and see if I make progress. Very real chance if I compete again it may not be till June. For sure no earlier than the end of April.
My new big 3 will be front squats, floor press, and snatch grip deadlift.
Been on clomid for over 2 weeks now and have no positive/negative effects to report.
Got a conditional job offer as a utility worker for the city! This is a pretty big change for me and can end up being a very solid career. Also, city benefits in Texas kick ass! No more obamacare to worry about!!
Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhasup Mouse, Congrats on the city job! What type of work is it. I also landed a city job recently. I like the benefits and the fact I can move up and around into different positions. Not bad for a kid out the hood in Canada . The hustle is real!!!. No more spam out the can rocking baked ham and sushi dowg!
Anywho I hope you enjoy the stars now with Spezzer my dad was talking about him the other day, he’s a good sniper Ottawa misses his scoring abillities I surely thought we would replace him with an equal calibre player, Kyle Turris and Mika Zibinajad are not close to filling his shoes yet and our owner is a cheap ass. So I pray we stop getting rid of good players and replacing them with draft picks develop them and ship them out. I feel we have a middle of the pack soccer team mentality which makes sense as to why on the sens facebook page they show them kicking around a soccer ball so often lol. Rumors have it Chris Neil is next to get traded and Philips I hear as well, I hope we get a solid layer soon, we need a Chris Neal or Jamie Benn type to play with Ryan who is a great player. We were trying out Bertuzzi but soething tells me he’s busy fighting a vending machine a la the Charlston chiefs. Sorry for the rant, your Canadian ambre.

Lol thanks man! Congrats on being married and ending your life!!! HA!!! I’ll be beginning in the utility department dealing with water breaks and such. So that means I’ll be getting random overtime calls…yippee! Will also involve quite a lot of digging I here, so we’ll see how my training goes with all the manual labor. Hopefully at some point I can move to something less strenuous.
First of all…don’t say anything about the Stars/Avalanche game last night, as I will be watching it today when I get off work. I feel for you. I’m surprised Turris hasnt done more this year. I remember having him in fantasy last year and he was pretty consistently good! Chaisson hasn’t been great either. Did you see Spezzas sweet goal from Friday against the Panthers?!
On another note…I’m very depressed as Seguin very well may be gone 3-6 weeks due to a dirty hit! Sucks for the Stars and for him individually. He had a chance to lead the league in points at least and maybe even goals if they started going in again! He has been playing just as good during his dry spell. Its just that the goalies have either made a great save or hes grazed the post. Anyway, Ales Hemsky and Patrick Eaves also went down in the game. 3 top 6 forwards gone in one game!!!
Yeah it’s a tough time of the year for injuries I went to the sens game last night, and Macarthur and Lehner got hurt, ottawa had a 1 on 0 breakaway and the Carolina tender made a sweet glove save. Hoffman had a really nice redirection goal, ultimately we lost but they are starting to get a bit better offensively. They need a nice shake up and to include some new grinders or a top goal scorer.
More than likely they move people at the trade deadline to pick up draft picks I have a feeling some vets that have been here a while are going to head out this season as we are almost a completely rebuilt team now. The Avs are finally clicking I hope Iggy comes back for another season I think they beat the stars out of second last spot in the conference lol. We shall battle for the best of the bottom.
Well…first negative session of cycle. I’ll chalk it up to the hockey game the night before and getting a little less sleep. I got 2 reps less than what I wanted.
Floor Press
142.5 x 3
162.5 x 3
180 x 7 RPE @ 10
Close Grip w/reactive slingshot
170 x 10 x 2
1A DB Row
65 x 8
75 x 8
85 x 18
Incline Curls / DB Side Raises- 2 sets. Was in a hurry and decided to “deload” assistance.
Well its been quite a week for me. Started my new job Monday which is outside manual labor and the Dallas/Fort Worth area had the worst week of winter! I think I’ll manage after being out in such terrible elements this week, but it was definitely eventful. I’m a utility worker for the sewer department at this time.
Only managed to get to the gym twice the week as I was adjusting to the life changes. We got off early today so I did a 20 minute arm workout at work before I left. They have some good equipment that I can use for quick feeder workouts. Plan on doing main sessions in morning and am contemplating doing another meet in April.
Cool stuff MightyMouse! They actually have workout stuff at your work thats nifty eh! Avs are coming out swinging again tonight WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Hey MightyMouse it’s been a while, I’m finally back training now and was looking into the reactive slingshot and low and behold your training log came up
How’s things its been a while ?
What are your thoughts on the reactive slingshot so far or is it to early to tell ?
So funny you posted as I was just saying I was gonna start posting again. I think the reactive slingshot is a great tool to use. Majority of training should be without it but its good as either overload or pushing lighter weights for really high reps.
I’m about to start a new long and will be incorporating it sometimes. Doing things a bit differently now.
And I’m good! The job is going well but is the main reason I got away from posting. Hopefully I can be consistent with it again.
