Day 5
4-4-2006​

ME Bench (40 minutes, 19 sets)

BLAH, shitty workout today. Was fighting with the girlfriend the entire time which completely distracted me. Started off with suspended bench, used a medium (shoulder-width) grip. Not too bad at all. Missed 325 twice for some reason, whatever.

Suspended Bench Presses (bar touching chest, medium-grip)
135 x 3
185 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 2
295 x 2
315 x 1
325 x Miss
325 x Miss

Decline Bench Presses (wide-grip)
8 sets of 4 with 275

Tate Presses
3 sets of 15 with the 45's

Cut my accessory work short today because I flat out wasn't feeling it today. Did 8 sets of 4 with 275 which was great, and I think that might have just burned me out completely. Finished up with some Tate presses and called it a day.

Diet:

- 1 scoop of whey protein + 1/2 cup of oatmeal + skim milk preworkout
- 1 scoop of whey protein + 1/2 cup of oatmeal + skim milk preworkout

Hey man dont sweat it....we all get em. I use to love getting into arguments with my coiusin when we lifted together b/c it was so rare they were very intense and the weights just flew LOL...it was like therapy!

I'd still say it was a good workout though...job well done with tuffin it out!

 

[Seanp156]

Heh... I'd be more than happy w/ that workout.

why write about fighting... haha u loser... im sorry our fighting didn't give you any PR's today... usually i see something in red! anyways... thanks for the roses i absolutely lovvee them! but where is your cardio from today... your SLACKING!! haha i love you though! Had an awesome time last night... Hopefully i'll see you soon! Have a good day at work! <3

DeadBolt: Well working out honestly is a huge stress reliever, thats for sure. But at the same time if I'm arguing in the middle of the workout it isn't really much of a stress reliever, lol. Oh well, immature fights will fade with time. But overall the session wasn't too bad at all. My pecs are aching today because of the 8 sets of 4 with 275 on the decline.

Seanp: Thanks for stopping by, buddy. And overall it wasn't a bad session, just could have been a little better, thats all.

MJHsWiFeYCLH: Hey! Haha, I'm glad you liked the roses I thought they were really pretty. I always had a thing for fire & ice. Haha, I figured I had to have some kind of logical explanation on here for why my workout wasn't as good as it should have been.

Its okay, sweetie, these little stupid fights and that seem like a big deal really won't matter in the end. Wait till tomorrow's session I'm sure that I'm going to have some red in my journal entry, but we'll have to wait and see.

- whole-wheat tuna sandwich

Had to wake up to drive the girlfriend to class, not to mention we got stoned out of our minds last night, lol.

Damn stoners....the more you talk about it the more I crave it! Every time a man tries to better himself someone always has to bring him back down

Good job you two...those petty fights wont stop but they become less of a big deal...been with my girl few months over a year and we still have stupid arguments but they are settled in like 10 minutes LOL.

 

[MJH]

MJHsWiFeYCLH: Hahaha, I know thats the truth. No I should have some kind of PR's in here tomorrow. It depends on how much sleep I get tonight, but I'm thinking about trying to pull 605 from the platform tomorrow. And I'd probably bring your camera to Gold's to make a video of it. We'll see, I've been pulling heavy a lot lately and I don't know if I should try for a new deadlift PR so soon.

DeadBolt: Hey man, lol, thats the truth. The petty fights already are starting to get resolved much much quicker than before. So were heading in the right direction. Its funny how something at the time can be SUCH a big deal but when you actually sit back and look at it you're like wow, why does that even matter? Happens to me all the time.

Honestly though, bro, I'm so friggin' glad my girlfriend smokes because nothing is more fun than relaxing after work and smoking before bed. To me, its just the best stress reliever out there (and adding sex to the mix just makes for a stress relief combo). But anyway, I just have to make sure I keep my appetite under control when I smoke, makes it so easy to pig out.

Yeah, but the make-up sex makes it all worthwhile.
