the waves were HUGE. for those of you who don't know Halifax is right on a harbour to the Atlantic, and the waves coming in were crazy. crashing in right over the waterfront docks and everything.

Seems like that would make it a good market in which to work. What kind of money does a PT make there? If there's no school and the money is good, maybe out of country schooling (or online maybe?) would be a great investment.

I don't do surfing, mainly for the part that I don't swim...not so much as I don't, as it is I can't

. I have no floating ability whatsoever, it's odd and makes it hard to swim.

I'll get to everyone's journals when I can, homework is a bit tight right now.

**Gazhole** · 11-06-2007, 04:48 PM

Shitload of pulling there, very nice. I like the Vert/Hori pairings aswell

Pylon · 11-06-2007, 09:02 PM

Nice job Scar.

katt · 11-07-2007, 07:45 AM

Nice. Any visible changes in the mirror?

Scarface30 · 11-07-2007, 03:19 PM

Gaz thanks. yeah I like the supersetting of hor/vert movements.

Pylon thanks!

katt thanks, yeah kind of funny, anyone else would probably be upset if they gained 4lbs

goob thanks man, pulling days are by far my best/favourite that's for sure.

Triple thanks TT. I've noticed a decent change with my upper back, and biceps. also a pretty decent change in my quads/glutes and hams.

..well I am hoping.

so today was Lower A, I know I am sporadically doing each upper/lower split with no strict set day but I have been really busy lately and trying to get workouts in when I can, and I haven't done my Lower A in a while.

11-08-'07
Lower A

Wide Stance Back Squats RI 120
1x135/4
1x155/4
1x165/4
1x175/4
1x185/4*PR

so I was busting through the squats like hot cakes! I added 10lbs to my PR for 4 reps, so I'm thinking I could go even higher.

A) 1-Leg RDLs
1xBW/10 each leg
2xBW+25/9 each leg, 8 each leg
B) Leg Press RI 60
3x270/10,9,8

A) Calf Press
2x270/12,12
1x315/10
B) Planks RI 60
3xBW/65 seconds, 60 seconds, 50 seconds

walked home - 15 minutes.

I was very happy with this workout, I even lowered the RIs on the supersets by 15 seconds and it didn't phase me one bit. completely in the zone for this workout.

Don't you just love it when that happens?! Seriously good job on the squats there Scar. Im thinking of doing a session where i just add more and more weight to the bar for squats and deads until it falls apart. Im not that keen on the idea of doing a 1RM, but maybe a new 5RM would be good, just out of interest, then i can do it again in 6 months time. Have you ever done anything like that?

And congrats on the 4lb weight gain. And yeah - id be gutted!!

Pylon · 11-08-2007, 12:55 PM

Nice job, and congrats on the PR!

goob · 11-08-2007, 01:13 PM

Great work scar! PR's, planks and powerful leg pressing. All points to a tip-top session....

PreMier · 11-08-2007, 03:16 PM

nice pr.. i better get my act together before you catch me

vortrit · 11-08-2007, 05:14 PM

Nice PR. Way to go.

Witchblade · 11-09-2007, 12:57 PM

PRs and 4 extra pounds, that's great!

Scarface30 · 11-09-2007, 02:29 PM

Sam no, I've never tried something like that. sounds like it would be quite tough to do, and thanks.

Pylon thanks, yeah I was very happy with the PR. I never would have thought when I first started squatting that I would be there.

goob thanks man. yeah I must say that was probably one of the best workouts I have had in a while.

PreMier thanks man. I don't think you have anything to worry about by the looks of your last squat session!

vort thanks

Witchblade thanks man, yeah the PR and +4lbs is a boost in the ol' confidence!

went to a tsunami lecture last night at school which was extremely interesting. a world leading expert on tsunamis, John Clague, teaches at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia and came over here to give a talk about his work. it was a great lecture.

workout comes tonight, had some school work I wanted to finish up before the weekend.

That sounds really interesting Scar! Isn't it amazing how even minor shifts under the ocean can have such a dramatic impact hundreds of miles away?

Amazing and terrifying, of course

For some reason, this made me think of this. Looks awesome fun...

YouTube Video

SamEaston · 11-10-2007, 11:01 AM

Oh, that is so cool!

The music is quite funky too - its like 'yeah, that looks quite easy', until you try to stand up the following day and realise your knees are locked in place!

Very, very, very cool though!

Scarface30 · 11-11-2007, 02:59 PM

that video is crazy!

so I have been not in the gym in the past few days. I bought this new game last week, didn't play much this week and then just went at it this weekend. it's rather addictive!
