Sorry for the lapse in posting, my 15 month old daughter has pneumonia and it's been a stressful few days. However, the upside is that she seems to be through the worst of it now.

lets see, on the 19th I had a half ass leg workout:

Sissy Squats:
BW x 50

Leg Press:
135 x 10, 10, 10

Deads:
225 x 8
275 x 5
315 x 4
just couldn't really get my head into it, so I figured I should just stop.


3/21/08

Low Incline Bench:
135 x 12
225 x 10
245 x 8, 7, 6

Low Incline DB Press:
60's x 10, 8, 8

Skull Crushers:
65 x 12
85 x 11, 8

Pressdowns:
80 x 8, 8, 8

crunches:
12, 12, 12



Destiny dressed you this morning my friend, and now Fear is trying to pull off your pants. If you give up, if you give in, you're gonna end up naked with Fear just standing there laughing at your dangling unmentionables!

Before I say anything else, I just want to go on record that "Five Billion Dead" by Carnivore is one of the greatest training songs ever.

O.K., moving right along...
Tonight was great!

N.G. Pullups: 90 sec R.I.
7, 7, 7

Rack Pulls:2 min R.I.
245 x 8
275 x 8
295 x 8
315 x 5 Holy Fukkin Back Pump!

Bent Over Rows: 2 min R.I.
(because of the aforementioned back pump, these were more of a 45 degree angle than 90 degree, so in essense I cheated a little bit)
155 x 10
165 x 8
165 x 8 because of the slight cheat, I'm not counting these as PR's

Lawnmowers: 2 min R.I.
60's x 10, 10, 10

Barbell Curls: 2 min R.I.
95 x 5
100 x 5
105 x 3 (drop) 45 x 19 ... wanted a set of 21's, but didn't quite make it

Hammer Curls: 2 min R.I.
40's x 7, 7, 7

Leg Raises:
15, 15, 15

S.D.M.F

The workout felt great, and my daughter's doing a million times better!
She's pretty much over it now, she has a follow up appointment tomorrow and probably another chest x-ray, but she's acting like her normal self again. I can't hear the little rumble in her breathing anymore either.
Thanks for askin' bro.

ya, they are pretty interesting, they seem to hit a spot in the bicep that you dont normally hit. im only using 50 and 60 pound bb.
i just have a hard time not incorporating my shoulders, even though this exercise is specificly for not using your shoulders. i just like to get that little extra work on the traps, ya know.

I like heavy workouts, such an awesome feeling once you're done!

And no problem, i hate it when kids are sick, lol. Glad she's feeling better!

Damned life.... I swear, sometimes it's almost too much.
Yesterday started out normal enough, I got up early and had breakfast with my daughter and we were hanging out watching the Disney channel whil I had some coffee. Nothing too exiciting, just a regular morning. This lasted until about 8:15 A.M. then the phone rings. It's my mother in law... my father in law had a massive stroke and is in the hospital. So we spent 1/2 the day in the ICU waiting room and the other 1/2 in my in-laws living room. The old man is still in a drug induced coma, and his brain is still hemorraging. My wife keeps asking me "he's gonna be ok right?" and I keep lying to her...
Just kinda sucks it all out of ya...
I did some shoulders last night simply for something to do, here's the run down:

Standing MIlitary:
135 x 8
155 x 8, 8, 5

Laterals Tri-Sets (side, rear, front respectively)
20's x 10, 10, 10
20's x 10, 9, 10
15's x 10, 10, 10

Short and not too sweet, the tri-sets were brutal.
Hopefully I'll be a bit more focused later and get some legs in (if I don't end up back at the hospital anyway)
BTW, I watched 'Sweeny Todd' last night, it's actually pretty good despite being a musical.

O.K., I'm back.
It's hard for me to believe, but apparently my father-in-law is frikkin immortal.
Friday they broke out the "Do Not Resuscitate" forms and pretty much told us he was a meat sack, then yesterday he's awake, flipping off nurses and complaining about wanting a smoke. I dunno, he's still messed up, as of today, he doesn't remember who my mother in law is and keeps talking about how he's going to live with his ex wife when he leaves the hospital. (they've been divorced about 20 years or so)... so that's a huge frikkin mess.
Anyway, I got back in the gym/garage tonight!
I also started my log of "RESULTS" by At Large Nutrition tonight. It'll be posted in the supplement section momentarily. Anyway, here's tonights results.

4/29/08

Deads:
155 x 5
225 x 8
275 x 8
295 x 8

Squats:
225 x 8
245 x 8
265 x 6

SLDL:
95 x 10
145 x 10
145 x 9

Leg Curls:
50 x 12
75 x 9
75 x 7

Actually felt pretty nauseous by the time I got to the leg curls. I may have taken the 'Results' a little too close to training time, I felt a little bloated throughout the workout.

All in all, a satisfactory session. I'll pick up calf raises later in the week.

sick leg workout! Good lord have mercy!


why not bump those last sets up in weight and fewer reps and work on getting some more strenght as well along with that ridiculous high volume HAHA! You're strong as hell now..i'm curious to see how far you can take it if you try to push it hard for 3-5 reps on the final sets and give your body something heavier to look at!

before you know it you'll be looking back on your log like i used to going... HOLY HELL I DID THAT?!?!

super solid work man...keep it up!

To be totally honest, I've always taken it kinda easy on SLDL's because I have an almost irrational fear of hurting my lower back.
As far as the leg curls go, I dunno if it's the bench I have here or what, but it seems virtually impossible for me to lift much heavier and keep my damned hips on the bench...
but, you're right, I need to push harder on my hams.

proper form and a solid belt will do you wonders. I never pull over 500 without a belt for that same reason. IF you're worried about your lowerback.. just work on building it up! I promise if you train SMART..you'll have zero issues. Build up that lower back and it'll help you be more confident in alot of other exercises.

i just picked up one of these... APT Pro Gear - 13mm X 4" Black w/Gray Stripe Single Prong Powerlifting Weight Lifting Belt and LOVE IT! When I buy something..i watn to buy it once and have it last through the next nuclear holocaust! It's a great price for such an outstanding product. Might be worth looking into to not only give you outstanding core support ..but also PIECE OF MIND! just like you said..if your mind isn't in it..you're going to mind fuck yourself when you could've trained harder.

Training went well, nothing spectacular, but a good session:

Chest & Tri's:
Low Incline Bench:
135 x 10

Hey, thanks bro.
The old man's a frikkin mess.
Yesterday they determined that he has a collapsed lung, they're not sure as to why yet. However, the severity of the situation is starting to get through to him. He's pretty much stopped acting like an asshole to Sandy (mother-in-law) and keeps holding her hand asking her to not leave him alone.
It's pretty fukkin sad.
It's also pretty damned awkward, I don't really do too well with emotion and sympathy type stuff... but I'm doing my best to not make an ass out of myself.

Very tough times....

I have lost my father while he was young. My mom has now been diagnosed with COPD... on oxygen 24 x 7.

Hang on to those you have while you can.

Regarding being awkward > Sometimes you do not need to say anything. Just the fact that you can be there at times does wonders...

Good Luck, GOD bless.

Damn bro, sorry to hear about your mom.
I was 21 when I lost my parents (mom from cancer, she died on frikkin Valentine's day, and my dad about six months later pretty much just from being old)
so unfortunately I know where you're coming from.
Stay strong bro, good luck to you.
