X Ring's get huge or die trying journal

[M.J.H.]

Nice back workout bro! Pulling 455 for a single isn't bad at all. I see that your goal for deadlifts is 515 for a single. I am sure that your strength will come along soon.

Where is your weakpoint in deadlifts? Do you have trouble locking out? Right off the floor?

It isnt bad strength but it isnt what it was or what i want it to be.

My weak point is just after I get it off the floor. Maybe 2-3" off the floor for about 15" or so. I have done some deads standing on a box. Dont know how much they helped, havent done them in a while might start again. My DL goes up and down in nearly direct correlation to my leg strength. So with better leg workouts happening I expect to get some better deads

WOW I just ate a lot of ham. Had spiral ham for dinner and some kugel (which was pretty sweet and high in not good carbs). Rest of the diet was good today. Plenty of protein just too much ham

Went back to landscaping today, doing spring clean up all day long which I guess is why my chest w/o sucked a big one, yet again. :

weight: 211 lbs Down 4 lbs from yesterday but I am sure I found those 4 a dinner tonight

I have had horrendous form as of late on my bench. My ass is off the seat, I go though cycles like that with bad form then good. I dont know why it happens and I am stronger when my ass is on the bench. To keep it there i put my feet up on the pegs which helped some.

Definitely need a new chest w/o

I love DBZ, a good episode can really get me going for an intense gym session.

Headed to the gym soon for chest maybe I should get some DBZ on the tube, could use a good chest day for a change

That was one of the great things about the show for me...
After a good episode, I would always wanna hit the weights hard, and train to be just like them...I knew it was unattainable, but its still nice to try!

I'm glad I found someone who shared the same feelings about it
Regular old DB was good too especially when they trained for their first world fighting matches

I used to watch old school DBZ and go to the gym right after Good times.

I first started to watch it when Goku went SS1 which made me a fan and got me lifting hard. Saw a few of DBGT and it wasnt that great. I love it when Goku has to fight Vegita, and GoTanks is kickass

No gym today, going to a sports award banquet for the HS rifle team I coach.

I saw my first episode about 10 or so years ago

Then i didnt see it again until i was in 4th grade, then i started watching it
I have seen every DBZ episode, almost all DB
and they made DBGT gay

But that's because a different guy made DBGT

The guy who made DB/Z was named Akira Toryama, but someone else did GT
so sad...
