Keep up with your journal, asshole.

Every time I see my thread, I need to be reminded to keep up with my journal.

9/28's workout:

Alternate grip DL's: 10 sets x 2 reps x 315 lbs

I reset after each rep. When I'm doing heavy weight, I would rather take a second to reset on a set of two rather than hurt myself.

Nonetheless, I felt strong. I would have gone up but I was crunched for time today.

Sumo DL's: 3 sets x 5 reps x 135 lbs

Easy. My friend joined me, and I wanted to throw some more hamstrings in there, and I really like the way these hit my hamstrings.

BB Curls: 5 sets x 5 reps x 95 lbs

Standard. Again, was rushed.

Hammer Curls, super set/drop 5 pounds to failure: 50 lbs x 3 reps, 45 lbs x 3 reps, 40 x 5 reps, 35 x 5 reps, 30 x 7 reps, 25 x 8 reps, alternating each arm.

I haven't done something like this in a while, but the story of my workout was how little time I had today.

Intensity was high.

Nice lifts, asshole. Are you doing a particular scheme, or just kinda winging it?

Posted by: soxmuscle

Kind of winging it because of work this summer and now school coupled with the job.

I'm doing my best to manage my time, but I suck at it with so much on my plate.

I tend to have my best workouts this way though. I do chest-quads, calves-back-shoulders, triceps-hamstrings, biceps, traps and make my workout up when I get there. I tend to do things I enjoy doing. For instance, I've settled on doing heavy ATG squats for sets of 2, similar to my deadlift routine, because I've notice the most size. I'm also kicking myself for having done leg extensions for years, having now performed barbell step-ups for several months. My legs are actually growing, finally.

Cool story, Hansel.

I stated above that I suck with managing my time. I'll get better as time goes on, but I've always had either school or work. Now that I have both, in addition to my social life, I'm struggling.

The training isn't going anywhere. I enjoy it too much.

My internet was down here at the complex, and I'm getting swamped with school work as the midway point of the semester rears its ugly head.

Updates are coming, but thanks for staying on my ass, Du.

Haha.

You bastard.

More time would help, but I think I need to start drinking that Canadian water.

Jose Bautista hit home runs No. 53 and 54, including a grand slam, and the Blue Jays went deep six times in a 13-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night.

They have hit 253 homers this season, the fourth-highest total in baseball history.

ended up with 257..... tied for 3rd with the '97 baltimore orioles. I would expect a dramatic decrease in output next year without Cito on the bench.

Weird thing is they were 10 wins superior to last year. But had a team batting average almost 20 pts less. 30 less RBI's. Shows the power of a 'tater to team morale.

7 guys with 20+ hrs.

I'm sorry, Fu. I've also let myself down. I've been in a weird place the last month or two but appear to finally be killing it from a gym standpoint. Been channeling the unnecessary energy into the weights and it's beginning to show. Once I get my diet back in order, I'll be better than ever.

I am going to start posting my workouts though. I need to get back to doing that.

Still in school? When do you graduate?

Too bad about the Red Sox not making the playoffs

, but it looks like they've loaded up pretty good for the upcoming year.

Opening Day this week! I'm so excited.

How are you doing?

Flat Barbell Bench: 205x5, 5, 5, 5, 5.
Flat Dumbbell Bench: 75x5,5,4,4,3

I had a good workout today and felt like posting it. It's weird because the last workout I posted, I hit 205 only three times for five sets. Improvement!

Improvement is good!

So are you working or do you have other plans? Yes, I remember being early 20's, right out of school, and single.

Vaguely remember, anyway.
