Total body Lower ME/ Upper RE Sept 4th 07
Notes. Well labor day so figured Id go labor. Shoulder on right arm a bit sore and low back odd not hurt just odd. Knew today was going to be a fight for PR�??s and feel things out play it smart
Super sets
1A) SSB Box Squat (14 inch box ) old 1RM 440 x 1
Bar x some
155 x 8
245 x 8
335 x 3
385 x 2
435 x 1 plan was to go for a 3 RM for this didn�??t have reps in me today
445 x 1 5 lb PR take that and RUN!!!
315 x 15 hands on rack
Anything over 1 felt like a ton so went for that 5 lb pr off the box and was happy it was hard.
I really do NOT look forward to this day the SSB of the box SUCK. I am convinced its helping though my regular squat is going up, DL and such I also am convinced my squat sucks do to upper back my low back is damn strong in relation and this bar just fold me over half way up. any advice here would be MUCH appreciated
Keep working at it
1B) Incline bench (Paused)
Bar x ton
95 x 10
135 x 12
185 x 10 just didn�??t feel right in shoulder changed it up for the day

115 each hand x 10 (8 sets)
Giant set
2A) DL timed set??
315 x 5
405 x 3

One more then a month ago in the fatigued state after Squatting took that PR and ran again grip was about to give as it was these were near stiff legged but good
2B) Dips

haha you should have thrown down… He was probably wondering why you where benching on the floor “doesn’t he know their is a bench over there?” idiots… [/quote]
He didn’t see me doing the floor press, so I can only imagine that would have been what he would’ve said to his ‘girl’ (who probably weighed as much, if not more, than he did). The chest puffing and stares came when he saw me grab the 90 #er for the rows.
He gave me this smirk and look like “he’s probably going to struggle like crazy to lift that”. Once he saw me rep it for 15 easy ones was when I thought we were going to have the curl contest. Gotta hit the beach muscles when you’re at the beach, you know.

i had one of those today as well. this boy (about 20) and his dad were “lifting” and they were watching me and my training partner doing lockouts. I’ve only seen them once before in the gym. I heard the boy say that we were cheating because we weren’t bring the bar all the way down to the chest… as they are doing bench with 25’s on each side with their feet in the air and gloves.
I let the first comment go but then I heard the boy point in our direction and laugh. I walked over to them and asked what was so funny. they just looked at me with this wide eyed look. I told them that they didn’t even know enough to know they didn’t know anything. once again the blank stare. I turned to walk away and left them with one piece of advice- shut the fuck up!! i think that got their attention.

Man, this is weird because I almost the very same incident at Lifetime about a month or two ago. Two teenagers were doing pull-ups (well actually one would simulate a pull-up and the other guy would push him up) and I heard them say “He’s only moving the bar a few inches, so he’s cheating. I can do that weight, too, if I lifted like that”.
I had just started the lift so I only had 315 on the bar on my up to 475. Like you I let it slide. I added on 50# and I heard them giggle again (sound like girls), and say basically the same thing. That time, I got a little pissed and jumped up after my set and said to the one shit-talker if you think you can do it, go right ahead. I got a big smile on my face when he said yes. We’re about the same height so I didn’t have to adjust anything.
His buddy was trying to get him psyched up for the lift and he laid back on the bench, put his hands on the bar, got his game face on and pressed. I decided to talk a little shit and said “Any day now”. Bar didn’t budge an inch. He tried again, this time with his friend ‘spotting’ him (read: pulling up on the bar for his dear life). The bar moved maybe an inch then came crashing back down on the pins. When he got up it looked like his body’s entire blood supply was in his face. He didn’t look too good. I didn’t have to say anything, nor did I want to, they just packed up and left the gym never to be seen again.

You need to start putting these entries in chapters. you have a huge capacity for work. I couldn’t imagine doing a total body workout like that.
If you ever get the chance I would like to see a vid of you deadlifting.
go ahead and rub it in that you have the killer setup for training.

Awesome job on the PR! Must be nice to have the key to the gym:) I spend way too many Sundays in the parking lot waiting for the kid to show up and open the gym:( He is always running late.

Happy Labor Day to everyone. Just enought time to get a session in before Beer 'O Clock…
09/03/07 - Lower (ME)
A) Squat to 14 3/4" bench (touch & go)
445x1 (PR +10lbs)
455x1 (PR +20lbs) <–Grinder!
B) Bottoms Up Good Mornings (Pin #11)
245x8 (PR)
C) Chinups
BWx16 (PR +1rep)
I think the 4 Lobsters (PR +1) on Saturday night helped. Got them from a local lobsterman up in Maine, and they were superb![/quote]
Good ol’ Modi’s back whoring again. You don’t quit even on a holiday, eh?
Great job on the PRs and I’m sure those 4 lobsters helped just a LITTLE bit.

ME Lower
Weighing in at 183 today. Gained 5lbs this month.
Deadlift
135x10
225x5
315x3
365x1
405x1
440x1 PR +5lbs
455x1 PR +20lbs
That was a huge PR, but I put 30lbs on my squat since I last deadlifted. I figure right from the beginning I was good for 20lbs. I might have had more, but I just called it a day.
GHR on the ab bench thing
3x10 - These were assisted I was pushing off the bench for a little help.
Compromised Bulgarian Split Squats
50lb DB held on my shoulder on the side with leg up.
3x10
Leg Raises
2x15
I was going to do some planks, but I felt like puking at this point and my legs were shaking violently. Seriously, they quivering. I called it a day.
DONE!!

Great job on the deadlifts Pemdas! You’re a beast and I keep thinking that you’re in Kalle’s weight class because of the weight that you move. I have to keep thinking back to your meet to remember you’re closer in weight to me than Kalle.
