and some more...
the ones with all the pink dots are a bunch of scarlet ibis, Trinidad's national bird. that's as close as we could get but they were brilliant red! the rest are of just scenery. the swamp tour was really sweet (where the scarlet ibis were) I have a picture of a tree boa, but it didn't turn out very well. and there is one of a couple flares in there too. |

One more year of school left, huh? Enjoy it, dude!!!
Awesome work on the pull-ups dude. When I started wanting to go up on my reps/weight, I'd do all I could with body weight reps, and then move over to the assisted pull-up machine. Take of 60-70 pounds and crank out another set or two. THAT'LL make your lats start to pop out AND you'll be able to start adding weight to your pull-ups Keep it up!
w/o log
5'5" - currently bulking - 145lb on 5/16 weight goal I: 150 :: bench goal II:170 :: squat goal II: 250 :: weighted chin goal IV: +35 x 5 x 5 |

thanks man. the reason why I am so disappointed is because I used to be GOOD at pullups, and now they are weak. I guess that's what I get for taking too much time off  . |

today's workout...
Back Squats - RI 2:00 155x5x5 T-Bar Rows - RI 2:00 120x4x5 120x4 Hang Cleans - RI 2:00 85x2x4 90x4 90x3 Incline DB Bench - RI 2:00 55sx4x4 Chin-ups - RI 2:00 BWx8 BWx2x7 worked out today because yesterday I was busy finishing up a presentation I had to give for the trip to Trinidad. luckily it was the whole group that had to do it, so it was a little less nerve-wracking that way, but still I was nervous as hell! some big-wigs from the Nova Scotia Dept. of Energy were there, along with a bunch of profs and PhD students, lol. went really well though, everyone thought it was good. it was very informal too, which eased it a bit. all that worrying for nothing! |

today...
RDLs - RI 2:00 185x3x4 <- 185x2x3 <-both sets my grip was my limiting factor. changed to a DOH grip and it ROASTED my grip!!!!!     hey grip! fuck off!  Pullups - RI 2:00 BWx4x5 BWx4 <- yay! pullups are coming back slowly, almost a 5x5. I think that was to do with my addition of chins honestly. Push Press - RI 2:00 95x2x4 100x2x4 CGBP - RI 2:00 95x8 115x8 Static Holds - RI 2:00 75(x2) - 49 seconds 75(x2) - 45 seconds 75(x2) - 35 seconds thought I'd give me grip hell since it pissed me off with the deads. other then that, very happy with my pullups. YM's advice on the chins really helped my pullups I think |

ok so I'm late in posting this but... wow! Great pictures you took.. that swamp photo (I assume) with the trees on both sides.. I can just imagine snakes falling down on you... lol..
Looks absolutely gorgeous though. Why are you thinking of switching your hang cleans to a different day? |

I was thinking of switching the the day I do hang cleans because the only other heavy exercise I can think of doing for the hams/glutes are single leg DLs, and I don't want to do them on the same day as I do RDLs, therefore was thinking about switching hang cleans to the RDL day and adding single leg DLs on my squat day.. targeting quads/glutes/hams on both days. |

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.... Although we had our leg day yesterday, and I was concentrating on doing the ATG thing on my front squats (I like them best) and getting more range of motion... but then when it came to DL after.. gawd, I sucked!! I got to 4 reps before I started to feel like my form was caving and I was starting to pull from my back first, so I didn't even try to complete the rep.. my glutes were totally fried!!

I bet!
I'd only be doing single leg DLs on squat day, however, they are still tough. we'll see how it works. I'm also close for time before class anyway, so if I add them in and it goes too long I'll have to scrap it anyway. today... RDLs - RI 1:30 145x10 145x2x9 <- grip was getting the best of me again. Pullups Target = 20 Reps - RI 0:30 BWx6, x6, x4, x4 I don't know who the hell used the pullup bar before me, but their hands must have been sweaty as hell! I could have gotten to the 20 mark in 3 sets but my grip was fried from clutching the bar due to the greasines... Push Press - RI 1:30 65x10 70x10 70x8 Neutral Grip Pullups - RI 1:30 BWx2x8 Seated Calf Raises - RI 1:30 115x3x6 do some stretching later tonight. don't know why I did the NG pullups. I definitely need one more leg movement. |

Squats - RI 2:00 155x5 165x2x5 175x2x5 <-progressing nicely on these. T-Bar Rows - RI 2:00 125(+bar)x2x5 130(+bar)x2x5 130(+bar)x4 Hang Cleans - RI 2:00 95x4x4 Low Incline DB Bench - RI 2:00 55sx4 60sx4 60sx3 60sx4 Chinups Target # = 20 - RI 0:30 BWx9, x6, x5 scrapped grip work because I had to get to the mall and pick up a fancy tie and dress shirt for the banquet tonight. should be a good time. my hang cleans seem to be on a plateau, I can get the 4x4 on them, but JUST barely. kind of making me mad. oh well, my squats are really starting to take off lately . next 2 weeks I am going to up the intensity, triples, doubles and MAYBE some singles, we'll see. |

as for the workouts, I've stopped for the time being because it's the oh so fun final exam period, and the gym where I workout has some really here-and-there open times due to the fact that the exams are written in that area. I should however be getting back to the gym regularly as of this Friday when things calm down. |

so after a little break for exams and just to take some time off I was back in the gym today...
RDLs - RI 2:00 135x5 <- warmup 155x5 <- warmup 185x3 205x3 205x3 205x2 205x2 215x1 215x1 I was fortunate enough that the person who used the bar before me must have used chalk, which helped out!.. I need to find a place around here that sells it. Pullups - RI 2:00 BWx5 <-warmup BWx5 <-warmup BW+15x3 BW+20x3 BW+20x3 BW+20x3 BW+20x2 Hang Clean Squat - RI 1:30 85x3x6 85x4 Push Press - RI 1:30 80x3x6 85x4 CGBP - RI 1:30 115x2x8 Cable Crunches - RI 1:00 125x2x10 so now that I have a bit more time and don't have to rush to class I thought I'd do a bit more heavy lifting. felt good, although I think I am going to have to ease back on the hang cleans and push pressing as in drop one set of each, my shoulder really felt bad afterward. I was looking on Built's blog (which is incredible by the way Built if you see this .) and noticed that I've been doing hang clean squats as she called them the whole time. I've been doing hang cleans, but then going into a front squat. |

today
Hang Clean-Squats - RI 1:30 85x4x6 <- increase the weight next time RDLs - RI 2:00-3:00 155x5 185x5 205x3 205x2 215x2 215x1 220x1 Pullups - RI 2:00-3:00 BWx5 +20x3 +20x3 +20x3 +20x2 BWx5 Push Press - RI 1:30 80x6 85x2x6 CGBP - RI 1:00 115x2x8 Dragon Flags - RI 1:00 BWx2x12 scratched a set of push presses because last time I found my right shoulder did not agree with 4 sets of those. maybe I should start doing some internal/external RC stuff. DLs were decent, grip is getting better. put the clean-squats first because I was told/read somewhere recently that the more power oriented exercises should come first. oh well.. now off to an end of year/beginning of summer kegger!  |

today...
Back Squats - RI 2:00-3:00 135x5 165x5 185x3 190x3 195x2 200x1 200x1 T-Bar Rows - RI 2:00 bar+90x5 +90x5 +135x3 +135x3 +145x3 +150x2 +150x2 Single Leg/Single Arm RDL - RI 1:30 BW+25x3x6 Flat DB Bench Press - RI 1:30 60sx3x6 60sx5 Chinups - RI 1:30 BWx9 BWx7 BWx5 Standing Calf Raises - RI 0:30 115x12 135x12 155x12 felt good. back squats for 200 is tied with my PR for weight, but not reps. I think it was around this time last year that I had 200 for 5. soon hopefully be up to 2 plates. T-bars rows I think are hands down my best lift. I was pumped I was rowing my weight for 3 reps. |

so training for a while will have to cease because I no longer have a membership anywhere, because as of today I am no longer a student at Dal.. until I register again. so I'll have to get a Y membership over the summer next week.
until then... |
