That’s what I like to hear. Someone with an insane love for lifting. I don’t find it very often. I try to go in and train like it’s the last time I will ever be able to. It’s really hard to explain unless you are talking to someone that is like minded.
Guys like you keep me motivated.

Agree 100% you to there is a different level; for damn sure Lucky I was introduced to it about 6 months back training with guys Much more experience ans strong it above all has made the m,ost gain just the mentality and turning it the FUCK on. There is training hard then there TRAINGING.

It takes a different breed for sure and hard to find training partners and keep them.

could you imagine if we could all train together? I think there would be a lot of PR’s being set. I feel sometimes that I have to do all the motivating. my training partners work hard but don’t try to push me. I’m doing all the pushing. Just once I would like someone to walk up out of the blue when I’m setting up for a PR attempt and give me a good, hard slap. (blood would be a plus). I guess they are afraid I’ll hit them back. (I probably would)

Man i hear you and honeslty I do better now training alone.it get me down when they are just NOT inm it. yhea they work kinda hard but just like fucking zombies.

I like the motivation as well, you feed off one another, talk shit, support, bleed spit and curse all together. It really is a mind set and an atmosphere when you get the right ppl.

Yes it would be CRAZY. My partner who again has quit showing just looks a me like ive flipped my lid as I have to motivate myself LOL But I cant sit still and lol along that gets me know where.

Damn now Im getting pissed :slight_smile: Thanks good thing had a pretty good training session the endorphins are allready rolling.

ME Upper Dec 29th 06

Good day hit some post injury PR?s and crossed a BIG mental barrier from the injury as well
Also decided to keep it simple and just drive on exercise into the GROUND.

Shoulder pre/rehab stuff ex rotations, shoulder horn. Etc

  1. Push press (needs MUCH work)
    Bar x ton
    95 x 5
    135 x 5
    185 x 3
    205 x 1
    240 x 1 PR
    245 x 1 PR
    245 x 2 (PR)
    225 x 3 (3 sets)

OK need to do these just kept doing them. The 240 x 1 was a post injury PR felt great to have BW over my head again, the 245 x 1 and 2 were also post injury PR?s and this was the load I was using the day I blew my shoulder so nice to have that one out of the damn way have been avoiding it. I had more in me but decided to hold back the shoulder was talking back a little on this load. Just take it in steps. Then just worked on some triples trying to work on the leg drive etc.

This was GOOD Keep on truckin? though stopped short the last few sets the double etc was all I had this day. 250 next week. 3 plates in no time.

The rest was minimal rest

2A)DB Bench Press
60 x 15
80 x 13
100 x 9
Shoulder on first set bit touchy just took them slow and have to be sure to get lats TIGHT!!

2B) Chins
Bw x 6, 6, 6
These much better hardly any pain in the arm taking this slow as well but much better.

Chest Supported DB Row
80 x 9,8,7

Cable Abs (heavy)
3 sets of HEAVY 5
100 x 5 x 3

Smoke the tris with some OH DB and band tri extensions

All in all very happy with the progress mainly the shoulder, also getting the legs in the pressing a bit more still not much. Was also making sure to get a nice lockout pause have to in the comps so might as well practice it.
Keep truckin

FOOD TIME!!!

great job on the push presses! I suck at those things. I seam to make it a two part exercise. I’ll get good leg drive and then press, instead of both flowing together. great job!

LOL iM the same damn way bro thats why I need to make then PRIORITY. Like you sadi its seemingly two moves. a Little leg drive then a strict press. Today was a bit better and Ill keep hammering them thinking maybe front sqauts on speed day may help.

Thanks

Tommorow I’m going to put on my new IPF V-type and test squats and sumo pulls. It took three tries to get the damn thing up, I got some baby powder though and I think I’ll be able to do it without too much trouble.

Again, great numbers to everyone.

ME Lower

Warmup

Squat
135x8
135x5
225x5
275x1
Suit on, straps down.
275x1
275x1

I couldn’t get the suit on high enough. It fits fine around my hips but my legs are too big and I needed it up about two inches. I was using baby powder but no dice. I got one strap up but not the other.

It wasn’t high enough and didn’t give any spring out of the bottom and forced my knees in.

I’m going to call EFS on tuesday and see if I need a bigger size or if It’ll stretch a little bit more.

Suit off

Sumo Deads (Raw)
225x5
315x3
405x1
Belt
495x1 PR
475x1
455x2 PR

These went really really well. I’m super happy about the 495. It’s been a long time coming. After the knees it was a grind, but breaking the floor was easy.

Good Morning
135x6
225x6
245x3

Hanging pikes, leg raises
3 sets

Back Raise
25

I’m happy with the workout, but I have to figure out the suit business.
