Damn dude, that's nuts . Actually YM, I'm more impressed with the 405 x 3 set. That is roughly equivalent to a 440 lb single. Yikes!

Thanks I have work around the pain.....I was close on those damn 110 chins.........

GO BLUE -- I was getting kinda nervous with the two point lead late in the game. I don't know what happened to our kicker....(two missed field goals)

U/M's D stepped up once they went to a man coverage under a two deep. I think Purdue's Stubblefield had ONE catch all game (eventhough he got two calls when M. Jackson interfered). Overall it was a good game.

All we needis Wisconsin to lose a game

Nice PB YM

 

[Rissole]

I'm going to try for 465 next week

Yeah, that'll be gettin close.....

 

[yellowmoomba]

Nice PB YM

I was pretty happy!!!

Yeah, that'll be gettin close.....

We'll see this week I'm getting my diet more in check as we speak too. I'm aiming for 24-2500 cals/day for a few weeks (down from 3500). I figure I can use 4 protein shakes = 900 cals plus three meals with 500 cals each.

Yesterday I took the dog for a walk/jog = 45 minutes

I have my game tonight at 9PM.

You calling me FAT ??

I was real lean up until about the age of 27 or so........Since then I've added about 20 lbs .... I not not as lean as before but I'm a hell of a lot stronger now. I want the happy median.........Stay strong but lean up a bit

 

[naturaltan]

ahhh ... way back when I was 27

110lb chin ups are the goal tonight. I think I might try one 135lbs close grip pullup as well.

that 465lb sldl is just crazy talk. Man, you have a strong back/legs. If there was a lacking bodypart, it would be my legs. If I have to miss a workout, legs is the first to get cut.

What do you mean ... there's a big difference between 27 and almost 34

Good luck with your Back workout tonight!! Keep me posted on your progress tonight

465 is for a deadlift not SLDL. I think I'd rip something in my lower back if I did a SLDL.... I used to skip legs once in a while but I hate the next leg workout 'cuz I'd be sore for two - three days afterwards .... LOL If I have to skip - I skip Arms or Shoulders.

I hear ya on the age. There is a difference. It's an 11 year spread now ... man am I getting old.

I'll let you know how it goes. Right now, even after the weekend alcohol abuse, I feel pretty good, so we'll see what tonight brings.

465 DL is still a big number. I've only managed a 315 dl.

MICHGAN




Just thought I would throw that in there

I like that !!! You forgot the second "I" in MICHIGAN.

What's up Iain? Are you getting a new program set up for yourself??

 

[tucker01]

Shit Fixed it

Not alot, been really busy with work forced me to be on the road quite a bit. Was in Maryland over the weekend and met up with Rock. Things should finally be settling down and I will be able to get back in a routine. Repetativeness is so easy

Got a couple of busy weekends coming up weddings to attend, then it will be prep for going away on a vacation in Feb, down to FLA. I plan to keep doing Westside, I haven't really given it a fair shot, and initially have the feeling I will really enjoy it. How else am I meant to get the weights anywhere near your level. Thats the Jist of it, and been glued to the TV World Series time

Other than that looks like you got your ducks in a row, some damn impressive weights you've been throwing around that last few workouts

Traveling for work blows!! Repetativeness is nice and eazy!!

That must have been cool to meet Rock - face - to - face.

WS - seems pretty cool. I'm watching some other WS newbie journals to see how they do. I'm real happy with my program right now.

FLA seems like a nice place in February!!! I was there last March It's a nice break from the winter blues.....

Hopefully you are routing for the Sox!

I kept my strength right through my cut but it was the competition training that ruined that. I'm almost back to where i was b4 though

Nice PR's YM! Never tried trap bar deads (gym doesn't have one). Do you think you could do more, or less with conventional deads?

Thanks.

Probably a little less until I get my form totally perfect. A few weeks ago I did 405 x 1 Conventional and 405 x 3 with Trap bar. The trap bar is nice since I don't scrap it along my skins as I would with a conventional bar.

I've been doing SLDL's for a long time but just recently got into doing DL's over the last 6 weeks or so.
