I had my rep day in the Cube rotation for deadlift the other night, and I pulled 375x10, 10, 405x8, 8 from blocks, and 350x10, 10 from a deficit beltless....it WAS cardio lmao - deadlift should never have to be performed for over 6 reps!

I felt like I was gonna puke with my belt on the 2nd rep of deficits, so I unlatched it and kept on trucking. Was easier without it lol

I took the rest day. it was due, and I was tired.

I'm probably going to do some hunting this weekend. It may be a four-day weekend for me, so we'll see when. Kiddo can't go, because he "chose" to not do some homework this week; instead play with his friends.

Brought me some extra goodies for lunch today:

I want that RTD!!! Still trying to get some but the website doesn't have them listed yet...

Good luck on the hunt!
 
Slacking? Lol. Enjoy the rest day! Old father's suggestion: father and son time is more important. Make him do some chore today as punishment and take him hunting. This time is precious as they grow way too fast. (Sorry if I stepped out too far but I regret not spending more time with my son. )

You're definitely not overstepping. Any parental advice is welcomed. It can be so hard to make decisions like this.

Unfortunately, we have too many times let situations like this slip this year. It has been a weekly thing of either choosing to skip homework or studying, and then we get an email saying he took a zero or low grade. We have done the extra chore thing, but need something that will resonate.

There will be plenty of time to hunt this season and many more, but we have to nip this school behavior in the bud.
 
Parent first, friend later. It hurst sometimes but it makes them accountable for their actions. My stepson went through stages of "challenging" me. I think when I took his bedroom door off that it sank it that I would always win. I basically took away his freedom and privacy for 2 weeks. He now agrees with how I raised him as he said it made him what he is and life is so much easier than his pampered friends who left home and had to face reality that life isn't as easy as it seemed.
 
Couldn't agree more Turff.

Lol. My door was taken of my bedroom too.
 
Looks so yum!!!!

Parenting is sooo much easier when they're little just a simple butt whoopin and they're good! It starts getting so complex after that! My daughter is grounded from her phone/computer for the same mess!

Killer chest/shoulder session! Bet that was a little scary when you struggled with the band!
 
Wow! You nailed it today! The who pin thing sucks... Why I bench at home so I can do it in the rack with the safety bars. Otherwise you "need" a spotter.
I need to remember to do face pulls, I always forget...
One minute rest on that benching especially over 200 is impressive!

You can tell he's not happy about it. Let's us know that we picked the right thing to take to leave an impression. :)

Thanks Kat!

I never go heavy enough to need pins on bench. It was a weird mistake...

The only rack with adjustable pins was taken anyhow. Next week I'll do reverse banded in that rack, if it's available.
 
What are you hunting Jr?

Was down in FL last month shooting hogs. Had 4 feeders set up, and a **** ton of deer were feeding on em, but it was still bow season.

Deer. Last weekend was the opening for rifle. I have a bow, still in the box... Maybe next year on that.

We don't have any hogs on our land, thank God. They're everywhere in Fl.
 
Nice. Well at least you own one. I may have to start surfing craigslist.

They are. I usually go on a 1000 acres of farm land; they don't mind us doing pest control to save the crops. When we find the piglets, we just throw em in the truck and take em back to a pen we built. They'll eat anything, so it gives us an excuse to kill the possums and armadillos as well. Always a blast. I usually bring a glock, ar15, and bolt action 308. Might be about time to add a crossbow or bow to the mix.

We have archery ranges on base. I always complain about having nothing to do in NC, well maybe I should refine my archery skills for next season.

If I were to see a hog I'd remove him. They're a nuisance.

Thanks Turff. Fortunately my deer stand isn't too far off the ground. :)

I don't know what happened to my squats, tbh. On reverse banded squats I had gotten up to 385x3-4, I believe. I don't recall the rests though, nor why I was doing with warmups on leg curls. I think my leg curls weren't as heavy then and I wasn't doing so many BW squats. :dunno:

Man, I was in such a rush I forgot my STIMUL8. My plan was to take it prior to hitting the stand instead of coffee. For the focus, energy, and limited fluids so I don't have to pee. I did remember my Muscle Fiber though.

Thanks Gray! This Is the most volume I've done with squats in a while, and it was so much fun.

No deer sightings tonight. One loud azz owl though. I thought it was a panther jumping from tree to tree until he got closer. We need to talk about hunting etiquette...

Kiddo has school tomorrow but is off Tuesday. I decided to hunt in the AM then go pick him up after school so he can hunt Tuesday. I hope that he got the point though...
 
Hey, did you get anything? Deer wise that is...lol

No. :(

Just getting out of the stand now and going to go get kiddo out of his.

Saw a few doe earlier though.

I still have meal prep to do, or some of it, when I get back into town tonight. We'll see how late I go to bed as to whether I WO tomorrow.

Noooooo, be nice to them!!!! :'(
 
Hmm, deer steaks or "being nice"?! I vote steaks!
 
I didn't take my muscle fiber the last few days like I should've, and it's showing...

Off day. Got to bed real late. We had to track down a neighbor whose car was howling at our door and we haven't seen any activity the last few days there, they always have us watch the house when they're away. Turns out she's in Kentucky and husband has been in the hospital the last few days. There pup left quite a mess in the house...

So, lunch was thrown together today. I'm having chicken in carb balance wraps. No veggies till dinner. :(

Rest day. Hopefully the last in a little while, an hopefully I can catch up on sleep.
 
Sucks about your neighbor, and the dog. Yep, you need to catch up on your sleep. Take some G8 when you get home and be comatose for 12hrs! Can't go with out my muscle fiber....

That would be great. We don't have kiddo tonight, so that would be possible... Except I have chores to make up. :(
 
Made up back day. I slept in until 4 AM so I didn't have as much time.

Set 6 : 135x7
Set 7 : 90x7
Set 8 : 45x8

* I am pretty certain that 4PPS x6 is a PR. I used to count these by total weight instead of weight per side.

Id love any critique of my DLs anyone can provide. I was trying hard to not get low enough to squat the deficit DLs. I think that platform is 4-5".

Also, next time I go above 315 I will use chalk.

Stay thirsty my friends.
 
Awesome workout Tom! Congrats on the 4pps pr too.by the looks of this workout you went in to crush it today. Heavy sets and SS with minimal rest. This will pay big dividends!!

Can't really comment on the deads. The back looked good. Deficits I don't know how to judge but for me there is too much rounding of the back. But, I'm primarily a modified Sumo guy so that I keep my back a little more upright.
The 365 even though in time lapse looked good.
 
You are STRONG Thomas!! Looking great too!!

Thanks Turff.

I wonder if deficits are supposed to be done on a smaller board/plate? I did feel like it was on that borderline of rounding or squatting.

Trying to keep up with you!
 
This week is kinda screwed up. No matter what I have to do legs this weekend. Hopefully chest too. I guess it's a chest/shoulder pump day tomorrow and I'll skip arms again.

Did you see any major form malfunctions in my DLs?
Click to expand...
Don't crane your neck. Keep it packed. Which I know can be difficult when the weight gets heavy.

Back could be flatter to start (if that's your prerogative) but I didn't see much, if any, flexion so it's whatever.

If you're concerned with getting better at DLing, I'd recommend sticking to pulls from the floor, for now.

All in all, solid work bud
