I'm definitely coming down with something. Took some NyQuil last night and was passed out by 9:30p. Got up this morning and was just going to go back to bed and not workout. Except that I hit the alarm off button instead of the snooze button and was like well I might as well go to the bathroom. Don't know what my reasoning was behind that but I was out of it. As I just sat there I started to wake up a little more and decided I'll just go in and do a quick light workout. Get my DE Squat in and some hanging leg raises and I'll be done with it. Well, after I got the box squat done with I decided well I just done a set or two of some light Rack pulls. 315 felt really light so I decided to go up to 405. Hmm... that felt good.... 495!!! Screw you Brian and your 5-10lbs increment crap!!! I couldn't hold it though up on top as I felt like my shoulders were being ripped out but I got it up a couple times before I remembered I was feeling like crap and shouldn't be doing this. Oh well.

STILL FEEL LIKE CRAP... At least I don't have a cough anymore. It's all up in my sinuses. I've had some awesome sleep at night though with that NyQuil but don't think I'll take it tonight. Three days in a row is enough. I've had some wicked dreams. Two of the nights I was training over at the compound at EFS with Matt K., Dave, and Jim. Got through an ME Bench day and a ME Squat day. Did some Board presses and some box squats. INTENSE training was going on. This might have something to do with having watched all of EliteFTS's youtube videos twice now. Then one night I was getting ready for my meet and I was going to be late and I was rushing around trying to grab everything I needed. That one wasn't so much fun.

Got some stuff done around the house. Completely gutted a room that is off the kitchen that was really poorly done. The floor had a major slant to it and I got that leveled off. I'll work on running some new electrical and putting in some insulation this week. Got a nice deep gash in my head too. I stood up and jammed my head right into the corner of a window ledge.

sorry to hear that, get better bruv

I just printed this log out. Good luck with your progress.

As a fellow Powerlifter I am rooting for you. I will start competing in 2008 and I am joining the IPA (and maybe the WNPL) as they have alot of competitions near me.

Also, we are very similar in build and lifts, so I am really hoping to see some results with your supplements and training so as to learn from your log.



Good luck...

Some nice logs there... Keep it up and get to feeling better...

I'm on the upswing now. No sore throat or constant runny nose anymore it's all just stuck up there now.

Wow, thanks. Good luck in 2008. This log will run all the way up to my first meet. If you have any questions on what I'm doing just ask. I try and say why I'm doing what I'm doing but sometimes it gets lost in translation.

I gave everything I had today. Between the sinus preasure and the gash and swollen head my head was on fire and felt like passing out after every DL, even the warmups.

Being sick has been rough but I can't let that effect my training. That has still been on par.

How about that BRIAN!! Is 255 to 300 a good enough jump for you? Damn, I want to call that a PR but just can't since I raised my butt of the bench. I grinded that sucker up though which I'm happy about. Next week I'll keep my butt down and get that sucker up. I forgot to raise my big toe and definitely didn't feel like I had as good of leg drive. Double Damn, I almost had 275 for a triple which would have been really awesome too but I started going up but the bar wanted to go down. 275x1 was my last PR on the 2 board.
