Wow, that'd be cool, it's at the Campbell Center at Aldine Athletic Complex.

I don't think that is too far from where we live. Is that in Alief?

Oh wait...that is more a lil North of us up off 45. Still not far. I told Craig, he's game to go too.

I'm not sure as to the exact location - I pasted that directly off the site lol. I'll talk to my old coach soon and get you all the details.

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

Its really nice to see that your coach cares so much about you
and your goals in life

We need more people like him in our schools...

Bad News

You may have noticed I didn't post a workout yesterday - this is because I did not go, and will probably not go today either. I've come down with a form of the flu (dammit!) i'm doing my best to fight it off right now so I can get back in the gym a.s.a.p.

 

[JLB001]

I talked to my son! He's game.

Here's a link to some of his pics.

Thats shitty bro. My mom got me sick the other day, with some nasty cold. She is still sick(over 2 weeks) and Im almost 100%(about 5 days). I have been eating Zinc tablets, along with Vit C, and about 4 cloves of raw garlic a day. Here is a good post:

If you eat the garlic, eat it BEFORE a meal. That shit burns and fucks with your stomach if you dont. Chew it and swallow, good luck.

That's crazy man. I just purchased some Vitamin C today and am already taking Zinc. Will try the garlic tonight before dinner. I really just can't wait till I can get back into the gym. It's killing me just laying around all day. I don't actually feel like moving, but in my mind i'm imagining the workout I should be doing today and it's making me sick (no pun intended).

Awesome Deez! I'll be following this journal

do you have access to a digi video cam? i'd love to see a vid of your meet (i mean just the lifts, maybe a little intro or something).

 

[P-funk]

great workout.

 

[soxmuscle]

when you dont list a weight, what does that mean you are pulling?

 

[PreMier]

How often do you train raw, and how often with gear? Do you switch it up?

I could look into this..If not maybe a vid of me working out heavy would do?

 

[Deeznuts]

That just means i'm too lazy to lift all the weights. The only weights that really seem relevant to me are the ones I powerlift with. If you're interested in a weight I do on a paticular excercise post in here and ill be happy to tell you.

 

[Deeznuts]

great workout.

Thanks man

 

[Deeznuts]

Normally train raw 1-2 weeks out I mess around with gear to see how much stronger i've gotten.

I did these with a belt. I always use a belt 225+ just to be safe. I also have a spotter for my last couple of sets just in case something does go wrong. This person also gives me an up command so I can make sure they're full squats.
