belt
275x1
wraps
295x10 (PR +10 Pounds)
I had to lie down in the rack for like 10 minutes after this set, I thought my head and quads where going to explode after rep 7. When I hit 10 I had to make a split decision to fall down on the safeties or try to make it to the rack. I manned up and made it to the rack, but barely, my knees where shaking like a motherfucker and I couldn’t keep them tight if you know what I mean after that destruction. I couldn’t feel my body, I sucked in my stomache as much as I could while I was laying on the platform and got my belt up. Getting the wraps off was a bitch. Oh well, I kicked major ass today.
Front squats
135x5
155x5
175x3 didn’t feel safe to do any more reps/sets after this. I was rediculously fatigued.
abs start to get lactic acid buildup…

estimated 1 rep max is 393. I know the calculators aren’t that accurate, but it makes sense comparing to when I did 375. After one more cycle I’m testing maxes, and maybe getting into my centurion if I lift equpped at that NASA meet.

Through this summer I've honestly grown up a lot, while connecting to my younger self.
I feel a lot more genuine now, then I used to. I’m relearning that I can love, lose, fight, cry, bleed and die. No more will I sit idlely while life passes me by. I’ve almost graduated, and I barely remember highschool. It’s all a blur. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life like that.
I’m craving love, pain, hate, and joy. I went so long not giving a shit, looking for my next buzz, which could be from anything I didn’t care, and in a daze. I’m ready to move onto the next portion of my life. I want to reconnect with people I’ve lost. I want to be able to look at my past and laugh, not try to hide it from people.
I’m nearly cashed on trying with girls for the time being, and cashed with everything else. I’m ready to relax for the rest of summer, and kick some serious ass next school year. Honestly, it took a few pretty girls, and a lot of pain to kickstart my heart. And I feel alive again.
I feel like I’ve come full circle. And I’m now ready for life after highschool.

Today:
deadlift:
225x3
275x3

365x7 could have gotten more if my legs weren’t already on fire from squatting. I’m thinking like 10-12 if they weren’t so sore.
glute hams
(no way I was going to hit PRs here either)
me 3x10
some nasty old broad who does retardedly sexual stretches in front of my squat rack all the time monopolized the back extention for like 45 minutes. Couldn’t do them.

Hell yeah, I read in the article “pro” powerlifters train there. Could you drop any names? I planned on going back there when I get back in my centurion. Do you know if there’s a hack squat machine there?

You’ll get your weight up, it takes time. Yeah, that was honestly one of the most plain, but most intense workouts ever. I honestly put more into that last set of squats then I see in pro powerlifting and bodybuilding videos. Most of the gym was staring. I looked like I was about to die after rep 5, and was about to fall apart physically after 7. I was literally stuck to the floor for a long ass time. Then I picked my sack off the ground and front squatted and GMed. That was epic.

I was covered in sweat when this is over. I looked lubricated. lol
I went out and partied last night. Not the brightest idea.
I dont feel right throwin names around , not knowing if the guy is cool with that or not .
but yes , there are probably several there with pro cards . but it does sound kinda funny when you hear “professional powerlifters”…makes it sound like they make a living at it .
have you lifted there ?
if so…how was it ? I always heard it was pretty tight as far as space is concerned . lots of bodies/equipment packed into a small apace…which I cant stand .I never looked into it myself though .
off to the Upper Fox for some cattin’ tonight
