I have been away for the past two weeks, delving deep into my teaching and my training. I've flung myself headlong into my training, which is salvation from the tension and the torsion that I experience in the classroom. The kids are tough, but we are successful... i wish to arm them with the knowledge of how to educate themselves.
I have written little here on the forum, primarily from sheer fatigue.. but my training is strong. I have taken a break from back squats for about a month, just to focus on oly front squats. My stength is through the roof... practicing jerks from the rack and front squats ATG... im working out with 225 for five reps and feel my legs hardening and growing, though I am not too worried about hypertrophy. I just want to rekindle my gains in strength.
I have, however, dropped HEAVY benching, my collarbone has been hurting for two weeks, and im not sure what i have done. I focus mostly on pressing, deadlifts, and front squats, and will resume back squatting in november. I feel more elastic, less tight and bulky, and have been dropping bodyfat as well. Im down to 275 from over 280 and ive been trying to clean up my diet. i eat like shit, and therefore, i feel like shit.
I will post workouts and numbers tomorrow, i have to dig out my journal and post what i have been doing. Thanks for staying in touch.

Yesterday: Bench work, (futile, but somewhat amusuing) Arms, abs
Tonight:
Oly Front Squat: 3 sets 8@150, 2 sets 5@185, 2 sets 1@225 (hams tight)
Dumbbell Row: 2 sets 5@150, 2 sets 10@115
Rumanian Deads: 3 sets 8 or 9 reps @ 225
Pulldowns/Hammer row superset 3 sets, 180/135 respectively


Felt strong, front squats a struggle. I was supposed to do heavy deads tonight, but my low back is still screwy. Ill do them Saturday instead of Delts/cleans. Push that workout to sunday. Traps are fried, forearms fried, hams tight and tense. I stretched well, and am hydrated, but they won't give, making squatting a bitch. I'll resume back squatting once i get 225 lbs up for 6 reps or so... its not the legs that give on these, its my back.
Diet is cleaner, but i woke up late this morning, and forgot my lunch.. cafeteria was serving BOLOGNA sandwiches, which i declined. Lunch was four cartons of 2% milk, 3 sliim jims and a diet pop. ugh.
Dinner, I made quesadillas with shredded chicken, corn tortillas, colby/jack cheese, diced tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, and some garlic. My kid loves em. Ate seven, but they weren't that big.
 
I'll take a Quesadilla my Friend!!!
Solid w/o too, nice numbers!!! :thumb:
 
Good lord 7...kinda sounds like me LOL. Order dinner tonight at bennegins(sp?)...lemme get the salmon, ribs, steak combo with mashed taters, loaded potato, stewed apples, and a salad! Polished that whole mother off heh!

Awsome numbers bro! Def power there!
 
Thanks guys.


Arch: yessir, as you can tell from my pic, I love to eat, and love to cook. I'm so domesticated.

Deadbolt: Bennigans has banned me, I'm no longer allowed.

BReed: HEY! How are you? Thanks for the compliment!
 
Looking good in here. How's the back doing anyway?

Its weird, its all low back. I'm beginning to wonder if its so tense from being on my feet all day long. For three years, I had no problem deadlifting, then messed it all up with a 225 warmup deadlift!!!! its better now, but still acts up from deads, and im a little timid with the heavier deads. Ive switched to sumo style deads, which seems to help. I also switched my grip on bench to underhand grip about six months ago, which has made some definate improvement as well.
 
Workout today was long and strong, back feels better.

Hit four sets of 405 on deadlift @ 3-4 reps each, (sumo style) and two sets clean style for higher reps, 245 with 25 lb plates so that I can get lower and develop the drive.

Hit push presses for three sets @ 205 for 5 reps
Seated Military for two sets 135x8
Wide grip high pulls two sets double drop 115/105/95
Static hold dumbbell laterals (used to be called "muscling out" in the old days, holding a dumbbell or kettle bell at arm's length. Tried this today, I find it foolish, it hurts in the shoulder joint too much.)

Ive been eating all day.. one of my students was sent home yesteday with strep, so I'm a bit addled, praying not to get sick. I'm sick of tuna. I'm sick of skim milk. I couldn't possibly drink any more coffee. I need new gym shoes.
 
Gotta push the workout from this afternoon to later tonight... I hate that. My gym closes at ten, and I won't be ready by then.

I DO have weights in the garage, but they are the old Sears-Roebuck cast iron type, not the big OLY type one finds in the gym. Its enough to get the job done, I just dont have a bench. I have about twelve milk crates, (ghetto) but they work for dumbbell rowing and as a platform for romanian deads, front squats, and perhaps dumbbell benching.
 
Been a good while since I've had tuna, its all chicken and whey for me these days. Haven't had milk in I dont know how long, certainly not regularly for a few months.
 
Heya man good lookin w/o!!!

Yea sometimes ya just get sick of it. I'm tired of chicken these days. Been living on whey, steak, and milk for the past week or so. Just can't stomach chicken or pork anymore LOL. I need to get me some tuna...haven't had that in ages!

YEah, I'm suprised to hear you and Mudge say that you don't eat much tuna.... man, its cheap, and, despite the crazy murcury scare, pretty tasty. I vary my diet quite a bit, however, I don't get nearly enough veggies. Never liked them, never will. Chicken... how much more boring could it get? The only way i REALLY like it is fried. Not an option.
 
Just have to know how to prepare it, I really like mine with basil and my spanish rice.
 
You know as well as i do that preparing all that crap is a chore in itself. I am by no means lazy, i have a small kitchen and a bit appetite. I just toss in some mustard and relish, or ranch dressing and paprika. Nothing better, however, than a blackened tuna steak. We have a restaurant out here called Pappadeux, which is an amazing cajun joint. They make a killer blackened tuna steak with dirty rice that just kills me every time.
 
Another thing I like to eat, especially earlier on in the day, is Zataran's brand black beans and rice, into which i dice and mix 8 oz of chicken that i whip up on the foreman grill.
 
I stopped eating tuna b/c I ate so much of it during my last competition I got sick of it. But now I crae it from time to time. I'll have to go pick some up.

Yea for the longest time I"ve been living on bland foreman grilled chicken and rice. Thats it. I need to start to spice things up some!
