Your shins look like mine do after deadlifting. 185 military press is awesome, keep it up.

Hah, I hear ya, I've used weights as my personal form of therapy for years. 'normal' people can never seem to understand that, but the shin's no big deal, just another scar. Still can't believe I missed the pins though. Some days, being retarded just doesn't pay...

Thanks JH!
The 185 would have been much more awesome if I hadn't dropped the bastard!

once again, I couldn't seem to really get myself into it.
SO I cut the workout in half and focused mainly on quads this week.

Deads:
225 x 8
315 x 7
365 x 3 Woo Hoo! PR

Squats:
275 x 8, 6, 5

Leg Extensions:
115 x 24 one set to 'failure'

SLDL:
225 x 7

That was it.
I dunno, I think I'm burning out a little. I gotta hit the reset button before I get completely bored with my routine.

Ah well, it was a short session, but felt damned effective.

ur pretty strong for an old guy. jk lol. ur fucking strong as hell. 175 over head press thats fucking crazy bro. i thought i was getting strong doing 125x8 lol.

lucifuge

Thanks Danny, and you were right the first time, I am an old guy... but thanks anyway.
BTW, 125 at 17 years old is a pretty solid weight. Good work.

danny81

thanks that 285 incline bench is crazy to., i didnt even notice that until recently.

lucifuge

Well, I got a little busy at work tonight, and as a result I completely missed my pre-workout feeding, so I was starving when I walked into the garage tonight.
I took it a little easy compared to the last few weeks. Felt good too.

Hey, hey, hey!
Been kinda slacking a bit on my training... I had planned on taking a week or so off, but I can't seem to reconcile myself to it, so I'm just taking an extra off day here and there.
Trained shoulders last night and had a great session.

165 x 7
185 x 5, 2 ...significant improvement from last week... and I didn't even drop it this time!

NICE JOB! If your repping 185 now you should be about to press 2 plates by the end of the year IMO.

Thanks JH. It felt awesome... hopefully you're right, 225 OH would rock.May have hit a snag though...

trained before work today just for the hell of it.
it was going great, and I mean great. right up until my lower back decided that it'd had enough and said 'fuck you Phil'.
Here's the breakdown:

Deadlifts:
275 x 8
325 x 5
375 x 1 Boosh! PR

Squats:
225 x 10
275 x 10
325 x 3 Boosh! another PR

SLDL :
185 x 8, 8, 4 my lower back literally 'popped' like someone cracking a knuckle and it felt like a midget stabbed me.
The really, really irritating thing about this is that I knew it was coming. I knew I'd been pushing hard for too long and I needed to take a break, but I just had to keep pushing. I tell ya, some times being retarded just doesn't pay... anyway... looks like I'll be getting my time off now.

It doesn't feel too bad... ok, that's not true, it feels miserable. However, it doesn't feel too serious. I should be back in the gym in two weeks at the most. (hoping)

JailHouse

Sorry to hear that big L. Hopefully it was just your back saying OH SHIT and nothing serious.
