New goals, year, and log.

Gonna try to stay in my powerlifting mode for more than 2 months out of the year this time, and hopefully break some PRs; so NomZ will stop calling me a quitter or crossfitter.

Old PRs are 365/455/525 for triples. (b/sq/dl). I'll retest in 6 weeks.

Gonna loosely follow this template.

Mon - ME upper/light run
Tues - off
Weds - ME lower/tempo run (3-5 miles)
Thurs - conditioning/running drills or sprints
Fri - DE upper/light run (1-2 miles)
Sat - DE lower/conditioning
Sun - Distance run (5-15 miles), or bike (30-45 miles)

With 1-2 accessories each day.

Still have a target weight of 210.

I'm gonna take up sumo deadlifting in spite of you; so I can beat you at one of your trophy lifts. By 2016, I'll be quoting this post.

Haha. That's a lie, my job sucks for gains.

Lol. We've all got our secrets.

I wasn't sure what to do with 20 minutes, and my brothers doing some competition this weekend with that workout. Wanted to get bragging rights.. but uhh. It was a sad attempt. Too much jameson. Thought pre workout would even me out, but it just made me breath fire.

The only part of that competition that looks even remotely hard are the muscle ups, and that's just because I don't know how to do them.

Just kip, pullup to your belly button, and post a selfie to ig = muscle up.

I'm not a fan of cardio, or racing on multi joint movements. I only try to keep a baseline. I'm a very fuel inefficient creature, that runs off Jameson and lasagna.

I don't know that I'll ever do 180 again. I was afraid my boys were gonna get nipped by one of the 4 plates. Just needed a 1RM.

Snatch
135x skill work

20 min OTM
20 x KB swings 24kg

Stretch + mobility

Couldn't get the GHR adjusted properly.

Went low bar/wide stance on the squats. Was a big change for me from high bar/narrow stance/ATG. Felt a lot of power coming out of the hole. I should probably start working my wide stance more.

Minus that and work this week; I think i would've had 365-375 no problem.

Long day of shooting.

Thumb is incredibly raw from all the speed reloads; the magazine release takes a ridiculous amount of pressure on a 1911. Fuuu 7 round mag.

Wrapped it up with a 5 mile run, and some heavy ass squats tomorrow.

Okay, not ridiculous; poor choice of wording. But it's a bit more rigid than say.. an m4 mag release, and annoying after a few hundred mags.

Depends on how much use it has on it, I feel like most of the newer (read: unused) M4 (AR15) have a pretty stiff mag release at first.

My Springfield mag release is nice and smooth, but I also don't have to do 100s of speed reloads with it unless I want to lol.

Yeah but speed reloading on an m4 is more ergonomical than the 1911. With the 1911 I have to come up on my the tip/edge of my thumb, and the m4 I can use the whole pad of my thumb.

I'll just take a knee and pound beer.. err water.

What kind of springfield?

I have an XDM9 for my "let's save some money" shooter.

For anyone that shoots 45, it's on sale at walmart right now. 14.97 for a 50rd box

Mil spec 1911.

Aluminum or brass?

Edit: I typically release the mag with the thumb of my non shooting hand as I release that hand to grab the next mag, instead of reaching with the thumb of the shooting hand.

Great gun. Did you swap out the short trigger?

For a speed reload? I shoot c grip, and with a canted wrist/afg. Once that slide locks I eject with my shooting finger, then that non shooting hand should have your most accessible mag aquired and inserted before the ejected magazine hits the deck. Then you're back in the fight.

There are more ways to skin a cat, but that is the latest and greatest being taught. Or at least how I've been doing it for awhile.

The .45 ammo is aluminum

Enlighten me on the c grip for a 1911? I do it that way because its the fastest for me, I can't reach it with my shooting hand at all without sliding it all the way around the grip. My thumb is too short to hit the mag release, and my shooting finger is too short to reach across the trigger and do it.

Plus, it night seem longer because you release the mag earlier but it takes about the same time (maybe less) because I just release the mag at the same time I would regularly release that hand to grab the new magazine. Which also let's me keep the exact same grip with my shooting hand (and sight picture).

I've done nothing with it except shoot it and clean it.


Thinking of getting a higher end 1911 sometime in the near future.

Oh my bad. I don't know why, but I had the m4 on my mind when I was talking about it.

For 1911/secondary, once that system hits slide lock, my shooting hands thumb hits the magazine release, and my non shooting hand is already going for that most accessible mag before the empty mag hands the deck. If you keep the gun in your workspace, picture sight isn't hard to re-aquire. And if your thumb is too short, just let up on your grip to reach that thumb around. you can fix your grip quickly when you send the slide home

That's what I figured.

Yeah, you can do that. But I don't find it to be faster.
