Caferacer's lifting
Had mostly chicken and rice today. totaled 5 breasts and 2 cups of rice, as well as 2 jumbo eggs, half a gallon of milk and some bread.
Squat workout. Took some B12 and 100mg caffeine beforehand. It was abbreviated, but was a maximal effort day.
Weight: 209.8
Back Squats
135X5
225X5
315X5 belted
365X3 wraps and belt. Could have gotten 5 but this is a relatively new weight, and didn't want to push it.
315X10 Belt. Just trying to rep out. Felt solid.
Leg Press
200X12
600X10
500X12
500X10
500X8
I know this is a bad workout to have up as my first; most my leg workouts are either hell workouts, or involve a lot more front/hack squats.
Down a quick shake and some chicken and rice. Played some call of duty. Good times. - 11-14-2008, 01:15 AM

Back workout. I missed a few (didn't post a few workouts here) and had to take a break because I was sick. Occular migraines and a sore throat. Either way, diet has been good (just cooked 5lbs of chicken for today and tomorrow) and aside from the odd night drinking I've been doing well.

Awesome workout. Felt great. It could also be because I am quitting smoking. 2.5 cigs for the day, and during thanksgiving I will be quitting fully. I'm finally ready, and excited to be off of this habit. I quit before; but I did it for a girlfriend. When we broke up I started again. Now I am doing it for myself and couldn't be happier. - 11-25-2008, 10:23 AM
Good to see you here, man.
Sucks about the migraines. I get them from time to time. They're horrid.
How did you cook your 5lbs of chicken? I grill 99% of the meat I eat (a real grill, not a Foreman), but I've never made that much at once. I'm sure I could though. Might try it some time. - 11-25-2008, 10:28 AM
Oven. I stopped grilling when I realized the oven cooking makes the chicken much more tender. I buy 3-4 bags of chicken from walmart and cook a bag or two at a time.
It makes food easy; I can run home from class and grab a bowl of rice and chicken and be on my way very quickly.
I've been getting the migraines since I was a kid. I lose part of my vision and sometimes can't speak. Waking up with one scares me as I sometimes think I'm having a stroke. -

Just a quick update... did nothing since the last workout except eat and sleep. I'm ready to get back into it.
On a side note, I bought myself a pair of chucks... looking forward to pulling and squatting with them on.
Pics will be up soon. - 11-29-2008, 07:02 PM
Believe me dude, those shoes will help! I finally spent the $20 and got some after squatting in running type shoes for years. You'll notice the difference.
