Hey Rock, looks like you're really moving the weight. Nice work man.

Good morning David.

LOL, thanks Gary. Nobody to pick up the pin for me Luckily it's like on a string thing so it doesn't get stolen, so it didn't fall ALL the way to the ground but enough to be uncomfortable trying to get it

Thanks buddy. I have a feeling that this leg press is easier than the one at my other gym. Either that or I got alot stronger and didn't know it LOL.

Thanks Angel, I really appreciate it. It's hard for me to see how I can inspire someone but I'll take the compliment! Grudge sucked!!!!

Thanks buddy, I think it's probably more like 25lbs. It's a smaller surface than others I've seen. Everything looks the same except the actual sled, it's not that large.

Notes

I don't get it with some of these exercises. I get so frustrated because the weight seems so light, but I can't get my reps on the last set. I know I hit muscle failure because I usually can't even complete half the movement. I guess I was hoping for more today, a little disappointed in myself.

MP- First 2 sets were easy, 3rd challenging but got it. 4th about killed me LOL.

Upright Row- I got all my reps but I struggled with them also, so I'm only moving up 5lbs next w/o.

BB Curl- Damn, I have no endurance with bi's or tri's. 1st set was super easy, 2nd was a major challenge with 1 or 2 sec rests to move on. 3rd was very hard. Even after I racked and picked back up I cheated a bit to get that rep.

Skull- The 85 felt heavy and hurt my elbow some so I'll try 80 next time.

Meals, Low Carb-

Meal 1 Pre w/o- 40g protein, 1/2 apple, 1TBSP PB, 1.3 cups oats

Meal 2 Post w/o- 40g protein, 1/2 apple, 1.3 cups oats

Meal 3- 4oz chicken, 1/2 apple, 1 cup Rice, 5 fish oil

Meal 4- 1 can tuna, Walnuts, broccoli, 5 fish oil

Meal 5- 40g protein, broccoli, 5 fish oil

Meal 6- 5oz Salmon Fillet, Green beans

Meal 7- Depends what time I hit the bed, if it's early Meal 6 will be my last, if it's later I'll have a can of tuna and 5 fish oil.

Rock - those 30 second RI look like a bitch!!!

Nice w/o and diet good buddy! Why are you doing skulls again. I thought they hurt your elbows?

Nice wo Rock ! You really have unleashed the Beast

Damn that workout looks killer

How long did it take to complete?

How do you like the Behind back forearm curl?

Thanks, same to you. It's neat, I feel like we are following a lateral course together. I'm doing skulls because that was an exercise Patrick put in. Normally they do hurt my elbows but I'm hoping at this weight and short RI they won't be so overtaxed. So far so good, just need to lighten that weight up a bit.

Thanks buddy. I don't feel like I've unleashed him yet LOL. But I'm getting closer, need to up my concentration and mental preparedness a bit more.

Thanks Iain, I like these w/o's Patricks been having me do. Today took about 50 min because of the added forearm work and some exercises take awhile at this gym to get set up. At one point I had to take a BB into the bathroom to weight it LOL. Everyone's looking at me weird but i found out it weighs 25lbs

It was alright. Am I supposed to let it roll down into my fingers, then make a fist and roll it up or just roll it up and down? I think I'll switch between that exercise and a reg forearm BB curl off the bench.

LOL Man I could see that happening. I would be rolling on the floor. Yeah his workouts seem fucking crazy demanding, really short RI. I would be fucking dead I am happy right now with 60-90 sec RI's But would really like to try something like that in the future

Good morning David, I hear ya on the frustration, these short rest intervals really mess me up gauging the weight I can use and I hate dropping the weight down! lol
I do love the intensity though.

Workouts are looking awesome!

It's definately a different feeling and hard as crap but I really like how I feel afterward. These are some of the best, most productive w/o's I feel I've had so far. Then again I feel more confident in them because of Patrick you know? I just hope I don't have to do squats or deads on 30 sec RI's

Thanks Kerry, your journal is looking great too! The short RI's are bittersweet LOL.

How are you liking these crazy workout thus far Rock? Those rest intervals must be killing you!

Brother, Dynamite w/o!!! I hear ya on skulls too, they kinda fry my left elbow. Glad I only go heavy once during Power week!!! Why is that on the bi's and tri's? 1 st set is relatively easy, and then it just all goes up in smoke Keep goin' Brother, lookin' good

Thanks Angel. Yeah, I think I'll switch skulls out. Don't want to tempt the injury gods to much . I don't know what's up with Bi's and Tri's. I've always been like that though. I wonder if my concentration goes and that's why I fail all of a sudden.

Morning Rocky What does P have in store for you?
