Seaford is where I want to live actually, lol....me and my wife lived in an apartment in Seaford and we loved it, but we couldn't afford that town when we went to buy a house, so we bought a house in another town and hopefully with some equity we can now afford Seaford...we are gonna try and move there either late this year or early next year.... and no, I don't know Show-an, but it's actually pronounced Seefid...in long island speak, lol |

[rant over]
i'm sure you did the best you could given you were probably late to the gym, tired from the long day and all thrown off. i got a question on your SLDLs....can you describe how you do them? I am trying to figure out if I am doing them correctly. I basically stand with my feet about 12" apart grip the bar a little wider than shoulder width, and regular deadlift the bar up. then I proceed to bring the bar down till the 45 pound plates touch the floor, then I pull it back up, trying to really thrust my hips forward as I am coming up. The problem is, my back rounds a bit when I bring the weight down. Is this really bad? Or as I progress in weight, will my back muscles strengthen enough to handle this? I am working on my flexibility, but I am not very flexible in the hamstrings, so it is next to impossible for me to get any depth on these without rounding my back a little bit. I would love to actually see someone do a SLDL with huge weight (275) and a completely flat back and touch the weight to the floor, cause that is what I strive for.... |
and work until about noon.
I'll probably work late again on Thursday. It doesn't happen TOO often that I have to work - at work. I usually can do my work from home if it's "late night work". Oh well.............
Practice with some lighter weight until you can REALLY feel it in your hammies.

As long as you keep that main exercise really heavy, you WILL go up on the TB deads when you get back to them.
I would try something like: TB deads for 2 weeks some kind of heavy squat 2 weeks TB Deads for 2 weeks some kind of heavy squat 2 weeks TB deads for 2 weeks thats 10 weeks, which will bring you right around the end of August. Of course I know your schedule will be ripped to shreds when the baby comes, but if you can manage something like that, I think you will do it by the end of August |

I have had lots of trouble sleeping for a long time, and truth be told, the past 5 nights, I think I have actually been sleeping quite well....whether its the air conditioning, the higher rep workouts, the cardio I started doing for the past 3 off days, or a combination of things, I have actually gotten some sleep, and maybe all the low rep heavy weight training was just totally screwing with my CNS and my sleep, but if this keeps up, it is definintely more important to me to get good night's sleeps than to lift the 500 pounds.
So I will settle in with my 425 PR deadlift and my 335 squat and my 340 bench and be happy that I at least did them once |
..........however.........t's always nice to throw on a bunch of plates though

On paper, Ohio State looks to be a real contender this year. You know how that goes! Like Michigan doesn't turn out a good team EVERY year ![]() |

She still does some cardio on the elliptical just really really slow, and she goes walking around the neighborhood sometimes, what she really misses are the weights, since she lost all the definition in her upper body, and she totally HATES it, lol. So I figure at least by next summer she will be back to where she was, which is fine ![]() |
but in the end you'll have a healthly new baby
