I was hoping he went over to the one of the PT's, because he was 100% at fault, regardless of if I called him a "fucking idiot" to his face.

My mom was telling me that her classes are filled with mostly guys, it now makes sense why.

Yoga

As has been mentioned, I'm thinking that I'm going to take a beginners Yoga class. It counts as a credit, it's free, there will be hot girls in it. I see no cons.

As far as today goes, it was great. I really stretched some areas that I'm not used to stretching. I'm relaxed as ever right now, I really don't want to start packing. The only position I remember by name was the "Down Dog" and all it's variations. I remember it because the instructor got in that position and I had to say it ten times in my head so that my chub would go away. It was a little harder for me than my mom, and while shes done it for a couple years now, I think a lot had to do with the movements being the opposite of what I'm used to. For instance, internally rotating when I'm used to externally rotating and vice versa.

My only complaint is that I might be sore tomorrow, which could negatively affect my DE Squat/Deadlift tomorrow. Other than that, I loved every minute of it.

The first couple of times it might have a negative effect on the weight training, but once you get used to the movements, it shouldn't be a detriment.

I agree.

My legs and lats are real sore right now, but its a good soreness. It might hinder this mornings workout but I want to keep the volume down as is so I can get on the road, so I'm content at the moment.

Well it's been a fun summer, but all things come to an end.

I just finished up packing, I'm going to go workout and let the "work traffic" die down.

The next time I talk to you I'll be in the "Zoo" in B-Town, Indiana.

Later guys.

Thanks for bumping this up for me, response is coming.

DE Bench:

Speed Bench: 155x3x10.
Weighted Dips: 50x8,7,5,5,5.
Cable Pressdowns, dropset: 108x8, 96x6, 84x6, 72x6, 60x7, 48x10.
DB Shoulder Press: 50x6, 6, 4, 4.
Pec Deck: 100x5, 85x6, 70x7, 55x8.
Cable Front Raises: 25x8x3.

Cardio: 2x½ mile sprints

Summary:

• Solid first day back into the Westside. Really hit every set hard despite drinking all day yesterday for the football game.
• Dips were good but I fatigued fast.
• Shoulders were hit hard on the presses, but I was disappointed with the outcome.
• Cardio was a nice addition.

So it's been a busy but good first week. Room is all set-up, classes are starting to hit me, and I'm back on the Westside. You know me, I didn't take last week off, I just worked out daily (Push-Pull-Legs-Push-Pull) and hit each muscle group hard.

My diet has been improving. When I got up here Thursday, it was impossible to do anything but order out because we had no gas (Yes, that means cold showers and everything) but since that problem was fixed, I've been eating extremely healthy. Ground Sirloin, chicken, eggs means I'm back to my normal intake.

I'll be lifting on a Sunday-Monday-Wednesday-Thursday program because that's what seems to work best for my schedule.

I'm a better lifter and a healthier person when I frequent this board, it's good to be back.

It's good to see you're back to your old thing again!

Last week was fine. I'm not going to be mad about that. Getting situated in my classes, finding out what works best for my class schedule, etc. was priority number one, working out of any kind was a blessing though.

Thanks, buddy.

Keep doing what you do in the gym and you'll be able to continuing looking the part of a young guy for years to come.

ME Squat/Deadlift

Squats: 185x3, 205x3, 225x3, 245x3, 265x3, 285x3, 305x3, 325x2, 345x1.
Rack Deadlifts: 350x5x5.
Hammer Strength Single Arm Rows: 212x8, 262x7, 312x6, 262x6, 212x8.
Leg Extensions: 207x8, 257x8, 307x6, 257x7, 207x8.
Face Pulls: 75x8, 75x8, 75x8.

Summary:

• A personal record setting performance today, which is always nice when you're getting back in the fold.
• Remember that thread about how I thought the weight was heavier at the gym I worked out at in the summer compared to the one here at school?
• Well yea, 315 was a breeze. Not sure how to determine if it's just placebo or not, but I'm going to roll with the fact that I hit 345 for a single.
• Rack deads were tough as hell. I've been using different straps since my other pair broke and it's hindered my heavy deadlifts.
• Working out since I've been back is one of those things where on days that I'm not in the gym, I'm wanting to be in there big time. It will be nice to have a day midweek that I can do my homework, it just sucks that today is that day.

Squats looking strong man!

I got to say that I think you lift an amazing amount of weight!

Wow - 345 for a squat!! I wish I would have seen that one! Nice!

For whatever reason, I felt good.

Last week when I wasn't posting my workouts, I was in the gym daily. I ended up breezing through 8 reps of 225 for 5 sets on one of those days so I was expecting real strong numbers and got them.

Thanks for sticking with me!

Thanks, big guy.

I think were on the same page. If I was your height, there was no way I could go to the box I squat to with 345 pounds.

I don't take compliments to well, huh?

Thanks, katt.

I wish I could look at it again too. I want a camera, but at this gym where I see everyone I know, it's embarrassing enough bringing a pad of paper and a pen.
