I had a blast man. We didn't do as well as I would have liked, but it was fun, nonetheless.Nice work man. Sounds awesome. Now most important... Did you have a good time?!
I couldn't have done it by myself. I had some pretty good teammates.Great work troop, no fcking way could I do that..
Trying to be. Got a long way to go for that.Beast!
Thanks bud. Tons of fun. We're moving on to strength work next week, and using 531 as the programming method. I'm excited.Damn, that's some intense shît! Nice work!
Speaking of beast mode, marshawn is gonna run all over the saints tonight.Crazy work. Beast mode for sure.
Haha. There were some dudes that didn't need to take their shirts off in public. To each their own.What's this "keep your shirt on" stuff?? I don't understand
You'd be surprised at what you can do when hundreds of people are screaming for you to do well.Sounds exhausting lol. I'm no where near fit enough for that type of thing!
thanks holmes.Congrats on popping your cherry big dog
Thank you sir, and yes it is.Congrats iPara! Nice work man. XFit is killer!
thanks fellow freak. I feel like I got hit by a train today.Freak he is....Good job bro!!!
It was too much work. I'm glad it's over. Time to start training for the next one.That whole thing sounds too much like work. And, I benched Wilson for Brady this week. We'll see if I regret that tonight lol.
Brady got me like 32 or something, I didn't expect a big one from Wilson tonight though.I had a blast man. We didn't do as well as I would have liked, but it was fun, nonetheless.

I didn't get to see the Pats game, so I can't comment on Brady's performance. I'll have to look up his stats. As for Wilson, I don't see him having an amazing game, but I think it'll be a win. Marshawn, on the other hand, should be good for 150+ tonight.
If jealous is your color, I'm sure you'd look sexy in it.You sir are a machine. Color me jealous
And his second love you ask? The 82nd ABN Division.<img src="http://anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=93214"/>
Somewhere in central California this photo is on a tribute wall in a skate shop. This photo was taken about 20 years ago, when I had mobility that I can only dream of today.
Switchstance flatground ollie over a waist high fence. Skateboarding was my first love.
stop lying man - you crave them all the time, I know thissome days I crave avocado, so I eat them.
decent dietary course combined with energy expenditure should equal this -- nice work! snag approvesI don't ever go crazy overboard on anything, I'm just basically listening to my body on what I need to eat. I'm consuming about 3200 cals a day though and I'm still losing weight.
Pretty easy to catch up on. I go to the gym and do stuff and I eat food. Done.looks like I been missing out on all the fun up in this biotch stop lying man - you crave them all the time, I know this decent dietary course combined with energy expenditure should equal this -- nice work! snag approves![]()
First, my head is between my knees, no way can you give me a red light for depth. I'd like to file a formal appeal.I dunno, man. Shadow covering hip crease, can't really judge depth. 2 red lights. Just kidding, that's pure insanity. You, sir, have exponentially more ballz than I.
Dan, yes. 82nd, um, not so much.And his second love you ask? The 82nd ABN Division. Followed closely by Dan.
Yessssss...so.your saying there's a chance!Dan, yes. 82nd, um, not so much.
Duh.Yessssss...so.your saying there's a chance!

Yes, I crave avocados all the time. It is, by far, my favorite fruit followed closely by the tomato.
I'm glad you approve. These next few weeks are going to be strength biased, so I'll probably start putting on some weight. I'm happy.
You know all the right words.you're my favorite fruit
Welcome to the shítshow. You're now following a log where the OP has all kinds of different directions he's trying to go. Don't worry though, I'll be just as confused as you.Sub'd
I'm glad I'm not the only one who jumps formats a lot, I know it's not very efficient, but dam I hate being bored.
Feeling completely left out :-(you're my favorite fruit
Nice work my man20131204 http://youtu.be/SF12MQjxGyQ Cube W1D2 I skipped day 1 (Monday) since it was deads and I did deads Sunday. Bench rep day Standard 185x3x11 CGBP 155x2x8 1"block pauses 175x3x10 Front raises 25x2x10 Pullups BWx2x10 Brachialis (right arm) is painful. Thinking about getting it removed.
Awwww, you're special in your own way.Feeling completely left out :-( Nice work my man
The matting on the floor of the gym is solid rubber (no give). It's 1/2" thick. There's a couple of pieces laying around that are about 8" long and 4" wide. I stacked two on top of each other and taped them for a 1" block, and laid them on my chest lengthwise. Let the weight descend at a normal pace until it hits the block, stay tight, hold for one second and push the weight.When you say 1" block pauses, how did you do those?
Got it. Will make that adjustment next time that it calls for the pause presses. Sent Sean some video of my bench. No leg drive, no arch but I had a reason behind it, as I wanted to plateau on chest/triceps strength before I used the aid of arch and leg drive. Per his advice, I will be implementing at least the leg drive next bench session as well.Okay, so like a board press. That's what I was thinking you meant. The pause 1" off the chest that Lilly describes in the Cube is where you hold the weight one inch off of the chest by yourself, and then press it up. It teaches you to drop quickly, catch the weight with your lats, and use your lats to hold the weight. Try it, mucho more effective for a raw lifter.
No doubt, practice how you play. Gotta grease the groove for competition. If you want to get the chest/delt/tricep structure down pat for bigger presses, do it in your assistance. Those CGBP will go a long way in that regard as well. Leg drive can be very important, e.g. Dan Green. But it takes some mastery, hence why we practice. I just watched a video where he talks about that. I'll link it here in a minute.Got it. Will make that adjustment next time that it calls for the pause presses. Sent Sean some video of my bench.

That's alright about the weight, I imagine you're extremely well conditioned to rep out at 70% 1RM. Heavy and explosive days should be a different sttory. Heavy days are easy for me and rep and speed kill me.I agree on the weight. I used Lilly's template for figuring out the weight. It was pretty light, I'll admit.
You mean touching lower as far as nipples vs sternum?
Exactly this ^^^Plenty of strength there for that weight. I'd like to see you touch a little lower, but you'll figure out where your touch point is when you do those pauses 1" off of your chest. Getting up onto your traps (not necessarily arching) and touching at your sternum isn't just for moving more weight, it protects your shoulders so you can keep on pressin.
Fo shoI have a buddy who is trying to get back into this whole lifting and fitness thing. He's a good dude and I've known him for a long time. I don't often plug threads, but I'm gonna plug this one. I don't know everything, but I think with all the support here on AM, together we can get things figured out. If you don't mind following another thread and giving a guy some assistance and support, you can click on this link and sell your soul. Thanks fückers. http://anabolicminds.com/forum/workout-logs/239224-restarting.html

Lol I actually put that pic on FB yesterdaySad, but true.
I had a short day myself. Dosed my back with some heavy sets. I got some squatting to look forward to tomorrow also.20131205 http://youtu.be/TU_xpBjMAZA Did a little bit of OHP work today with some jumprope to get the blood flowing. All OHP is done standing from the front rack position. Bar x 15 95x12 115x2x12 135x2x10 155 press and hold for :20, press and hold for :10-:15 x2 Limited time this morning so that's all I got in with some jumprope between sets. Tomorrow is squats. Exciting stuff.
Thanks bud. I took them out of my routine for a long time, as the benefit seemed somewhat negligible. After breaking down the oly lift movements, though, it seems appropriate to reimplement them, even if Lilly hadn't called for them. The shrug plays a pretty big role in cleans and in snatches, and that doesn't even touch on the added benefit of having ginormous traps.Nice work. We have been discussing shrugs exhaustively today in another log, coincidentally.
I like them. I'm sure that they won't be quite as fun when I progressively add more weight.Nice work. Loooong set of deficits. Not looking forward to doing those again in a few weeks.
No doubt, if it's holding back your lifts, or you just like ginormous upper traps. Fwiw, I've had great fortune developing mine with upright cable rows, but they don't load the upper traps nearly as much as a conventional shrug, no doubt. But my upper traps grow merely from writing a stern letter, lol, so it's all good.Thanks bud. I took them out of my routine for a long time, as the benefit seemed somewhat negligible.

UhhhhhhhhhhhhhGood video wish I had a broomstick up my back side when I dead lifted... WAIT WHAT???
