You know I was wondering…will you need to change the title of your next log, since you’re now on the Dave Tate plan? Or is that still kind of Westside. Dave Tate makes you sexy(er) seems to have different connotations.
Hope you and your beautiful Valentine had a nice night. And by nice, I mean boomchickabowwow.

Well, the Tate Plan is just a basic 9 week Westside template he included in an article a while back. Life is a little crazy these days so I left the programming to him so I wouldn’t have to think too much. So I think I’m safe with the current title. I agree that “Dave Tate makes you Sexy(er)” would be a little too…familiar.
And my night was super-dee-duper nice, thanks for the positive vibes.

OMG I had to come give you props for the meme (i don’t really know what a meme is but I think that’s what it was?) you put up in SAMA. I’ve never posted outside of training logs and I didn’t think I should pop my cherry by posting OMG GIT!! Anyway, that like, totally summed up my reaction.
sorry if I’ve missed this…do you regular back squat, or is it just box squatting for a phase?

I know, right? What the hell is going on over there?
I’m just box squatting for a couple of months. This is a bit of an exercise in getting my lifts to go up by not directly doing them heavy, lol. But you work movements that translate for strength and force production (bar speed).
For 2 months:
no free squats but heavy and speed box squat days
no heavy bench but speed bench in the 50-60% range and heavy bench variations like board presses and floor presses
no heavy DLs but some speed deads in the 50-60% range on two occasions

Hey Git good work, maybe try some heavy partial squats in the 450 range or heavier. Just a idea.[/quote]
I like partials and might include them after this training plan runs its course. Or get into more band tension / chains to overload at the top. We’ll see.

Oh hey, I was going to come lol at your meme too!
Yup Lula, it was a meme. And a totally fitting one.
I thought interjecting with lulz may not go over well.
Oh and thank for all the advice in my log Git! [/quote]
Speaking of memes, I sent this my wife saying I wanted her to be my lioness for life. She did a LMAO and showed everyone at work. They are a bunch of 20-something software people so I guess that’s OK.
And, I have to compliment you on your taste and Dirty Pretty choices. I’ve been using many for my schmexy texts. You rock.
