Back Squat-235x10
Lunges
Ab roller
jump rope

daily max 313

military-170x8
Pullups- 4 sets

todays max was 215, down from 221 a couple of weeks ago. This is because I spent all morning outside with the tire flip-a-thon, lost about 5lbs in the heat and humidity, and didnt have much to eat for breakfast.

deadlift-up to 430x6
Then 60 blue band good mornings in 3 minutes and 20 seconds. Will try to do it in 3 minutes next time.

all i had the energy for. Max for the day was 516.

bench press-300x5
db press
db row

today's max was 350. last weeks was 351. Today was a weird week. If i had hit 6 reps at 300 I would have smashed last week. My last 3 reps cycle, I did 295x4 so I guess I am stronger. I almost did 302 today just so I would set a pr but that is probably not warranted.

squat-255x10
lunges-2 sets of 10
situps-2sets

todays max was 340.

I cant believe I am working off of a higher max on bench than on squat. I dont guess it is forever though. Im going up 10 on squat each cycle and only 5 on bench.

This weeks sign that the apocalypse is upon us.

Yeah the end might be close. Please bear in mind that these sets are very very easy.

Military-up to 180x9
Dips
Pullups

Todays military max was 234. Thats a significant improvement over last week. I did this before school and liked lifting in the morning. After I warmed up, it felt quite right.

I fooled myself today. I loaded on the 25kg weights and after that treated them as 45lbs. I was mad because all my sets felt so heavy. I didnt realize it until after my last set.

Deadlift-up to 475x4(was supposed to be 455).

Training max today was 538.

Bench Press-315x3 347 daily max. down from last week.

squat-275x10 367 daily max. Didnt take long for my squat to pass my bench.

military-190x6 training max 228. down from last week but still over my goal.

dips and chins

some curls. Maybe if my arms get bigger, my gut will look smaller.

The next few weeks are going to be tough. I might be able to squeeze in a 20 minute workout before, during, or after football workouts. I cant leave Kim at home too long with the babies. She deserves a break. So workouts will go on hold. This might last until school starts back. I am going to take a bar and about 500lbs home so I can still hit deadlift workouts in the morning before the kids wakeup. If I can do my 4 main lifts from now until school starts, I will be happy. At the very least I wont get weaker.

Its been a long time.

Military Press-up to 195x7. I see from my last post that I have gotten stronger on that. haha. Training max is 240.

Chins and Blast Strap pushups for 3 sets.

Left shoulder hurts all the way down to my elbow. not fun.

deadlift-465x3

dimmel deadlifts- 2 sets

My deadlift has sucked since 2004. And it wasn't much better then. I am trying to go back and do some of the things I did when it was better. Dimmel deadlifts are one of those exercsises. So i will do them one day and good mornings the other.

Wow, he's back. Dont hold your breath waiting on my return. You must do the work of two men for a while. I am on anti biotics, seems like a good enough excuse not to train.

I finally have some time at school where I am not drawing up plays or doing scout team defenses.

I forgot how sore Dimel deadlifts make you.

Grip 1 bench-soft touch-295x4

dips and blast strap rows

Band bear claws. We call them tiger walks.

something was wrong with the site the other day when i tried to post so here is what happened this week.

Monday-squatted 405 for the first time in a long time.

Wednesday-so lifting because my kitchen flooded.

Thursday-Military pressed 225 for the first time ever. I know thats not very good.

Friday-Got the itch to clean. Cleaned 270 easily but missed 290. I hit myself in the throat so it was a technique issue. I believe I didn't pop my feet out wide enough and got balled up in the bottom and had to dump it and dive away. Then deadlifted 405 and didnt feel like doing anything else.

New Years Goals
Once again I would like to lose some weight. Ive said 250 in the past but maybe 260 is a more reasonable goal. I am around 290 now. Still better than this point last year. Last year I was 295 with very little muscle. I probably couldnt squat 315 or bench 275. So things have gotten better in that regard.

So with that being said before my 31st birthday, March 29
Squat-505 very possible considering that is only about 60% of my best ever
Bench-315x5 nearly there now
Deadlift-I guess 550 is about realistic. I suck so bad at deadlift.

after a two week rest.

Military Press-185x9 then 115x10x3

Chinups-3xmax reps. used a green band.

jump rope-100,80,80

Weighed 294 today. I have gotten so big that my eyes almost popped out when I put my weight belt on today. I want to start jumping rope every morning when I get to school. Its about the only thing that I halfway enjoy doing cardiovascular wise. I hate running and walking seems like it does nothing. So Ill give jumping rope a try.

deadlift-up to 415x5(pretty easy) and then 315x5x2

then did one set of leg raises before I threw in the towel.

no lift on friday because of snow day.

Bench Press-265x8 then 185x10x2

One Arm Row-70x10x2

Not a bad bench for not benching in about 3 weeks.

on wednesday-squat-up to 325x5. first day back squatting in almost a month. didn't do anything after that.

friday-military- up to 195x6. Miss grooved the last one. Might have gotten one more if not for that. then did three sets of 10 with 135 supersetted with chinups.

jumped rope-3 sets of 100 and didnt mess up on any. im proud.

also weight is down to around 285.

last week did deadlift-440x3
benched 280x6
squatted 345x5

today
Military-205x5 very good for me.
then did 135x10 and 3 sets of chins

did 150 jump ropes

wednesday
deadlift up to 465x2. still not as strong as I was before football season on deadlift. I don't really understand what the problem is. I know my low back has always been weak and I am trying to remedy that.

45 degree back raise-3 sets.
