Kabuki's "VIDEO" Log - a little crazy fun for everyone

[kabuki]

Didn’t feel to hot today as I think the weekend of working in the hot humid shop took its toll. However the weights were still moving strong today despite how I felt.

very nice work on pressdowns for me tonight…first time stepping it up to 2 doubled over supermini bands at 50” of stretch. Very happy.

But…..on the very last rep of my pressdowns I looked to the side and my necked popped. Its tweaked pretty good right now. Icing it as we speak. Hope I can still squat 2 morrow. Will see in morning after getting some heet on it before bed.

way to push yourself!

do those rags make it easier on your grip?? no chalk allowed i'm guess? Anyway PM if you want a couple recomendations on some little things that will help that deadlift keep going up.

Yeah they say no chalk, but I've seen a guy that works there deadlifting with chalk, so it's probably not a big deal. The towels (rags) work great for grip. Off to PM

[kabuki]

Well, I kept my neck loose enough to squat tonight…but still have a sore throat (2 days now) and wife was on couch in pajamas sick when I made it home. Wasn’t feelin to hot either but that didn’t stop me.

First night going straps up with my new suit. Lot on my mind with new gear and partners that had never spotted that kind of weight before. I think I will make sure I schedule some experienced PL on next suit workout.

Due to not feeling well I cut it a short workout and didn’t complete workout…or even go heavy enough to hit depth with suit. Also need to extend the hooks on my monolift…with the extra weight causing bar to bend it wasn’t low enough

All in all crappy workout but I got a little bit of time in new suit so it wasn’t a total loss.

50x6
140x6x6
230x3

760x1 just a walkout.

All shallow, but the weights all felt easy.

Head wasn’t in game…
Body wasn’t in game….
Equals a workout that is Lame…

Went to bed early last night, which helped today. Took off from work early to run downtown to city office and get remodel plans approved. Went quick so I had time to work on some design features of rock buggy when I got home before training partners showed up to lift. All in all a very good day!

thanks man.

[kabuki]

A big fat 1/2lb + burger with two huge thick slices of bacon and some chedder cheese, alongside a plate of French fries. My choice to eat that today for lunch today stood in between me and my lifting goals for the evening. I knew I shouldn’t let my coworkers coerce me into going to the burger place today…but I wasn’t strong willed enough.

My plan for the evening was to test out me new squat suit and see how it worked for deadlifting, and also test out my new shrug bar. Neither really happened.

BW upon waking 247.6

Tried suit on but every time I went down to bar I felt like the burger was going to come back out. And started not feelin so good after a few attempts. Couldn’t even get intro proper position for conventional but I the sumo should work well…just not tonight!

I know partials are not impressive but no flicking me crap. I need to slowly get used to having heavy weight on shoulders again and do some squatting safely with a lack of spotters. So I did some partials suspended in chains. Nothing impressive…just playing around with weight and suit a little.

I added some bands as safety to hold plates on due to not trusting spring clamps…caused some bad harmonics on bar…but felt real easy…course it was as there was no depth :inger

Need a squat bar soon! And drive those damn knees out for Christ sake!

nice finish anyway...dropped from #2 bands doubled to #1 bands where i was training earlier this year and kicked down some serious reps.

EDIT: its sucks when the weight gets the best of you, but i added the video anyway.

[kabuki]

Recovering nicely from my very disastrous cut I did last summer where I lost a lot of muscle mass. Only thing I’m disappointed about is that I had my waist down to 39” at belly button this year but now I’m back up to 40” again…but at least it hasn’t gone up higher than where I started the year.

Also, Triceps’ are definitely experiencing some hypertrophy. I have not been doing curls and arms are putting one some size at 17.5” hanging and 19” flexed…if only I would get around to doing some curls for the girls

[kabuki]

Got the good with the bad tonight. Good…I actually started doing ab work again…its been years…but something I’ve got to start doing again. Good…nice raw squat tonight. Bad…sucked it with suit on.

no vids. mind is off. issues at work....other issues you know about...remodel i'm starting on house this weekend....

and bigest of all our house had the door kicked in and robbed this week!!! ****ers. good thing i didn't catch em or i would probably be in prison.

I'll get my head on straight and back in the game today.

[PumpingIron]

I know, isnt that some ****...they break into your house, you retaliate and then they sue you...

[kabuki]

I know, isnt that some ****...they break into your house, you retaliate and then they sue you...

that is some ****.

at least they go spooked by something and we only lost my wifes jewlery...and a door and lock.

I don't know if its the huge trophy right above the jewlery box that said "World Bench Press Champion" on it that did the trick but more than likely it was the neghbors dog making noise or they noticed the alarm on the wall and thought it was going off (we forgot to turn it on that day )

[PumpingIron]

Yea, I read that over on the other board. That just sucks.

What did the cops say?

[kabuki]

Nothing really. They said they have an officer that checks all jewelry at pawn shops and that would be best route to catch them as they were in and out so quick printing would likely not catch anything.

Said overall our neighborhood is pretty safe these days with very little problems. Used to be a bad neighborhood a several years before we moved into it.

This Saturday I’ve got to frame in a new door and we are going to go look around the pawn shops our self.


EDIT: Wife is still a little frazled but she is doing pretty good.

[bLacKjAck.]

Did they get caught? no?

[kabuki]

Did they get caught? no?

nope. but they go spooked. there was tons of stuff they didn't touch. for example i had a pile of high end paintball guns on the floor in same room worth a couple G's and a $1000 cash sitting on the desk they didn't see...let alone all the normal stuff lying around.

they just grabbed a box of plastic jewlery (only a couple items worth anything at all) and ran.

The door is the worst part of it...and the stressed wife.

[kabuki]

Ahhh a stressful week. Some stuff I’ve talked about others I have not. Health, Work, Robbery, and House Remodel Planning. Had to let a long-term employee go today, who had lots of personal ties to work.

Missed my preworkout meal for the first time in 6 months dealing with issues at work. Had a big lunch however.

Busy weekend with starting my house remodel, and not enough eating so I was light Monday morning. Deloading this week and just doing some repetition work. I’ll post up the next 6 week training cycle by the end of the week.

Its SUPPOSED to be deloading week. But somehow we got in a rep war today. For me my Stamina at the moment seems to be horrid so that kept me somewhat in control from overexerting myself.

Luckily all training partners had left at this point so no one saw the embarrassing moment. Remember this is only my second week of hitting my abs..and the high reps squats didn’t help.

Yea, i get those cramps a lot. i just lie on my back for a minute and it will subside. then it comes back right after my next set.
