Nice work man, you'll get that 185 soon bud. The OHP moves slow compared to everything else.. If I put 15-20 lbs on it this year id be pretty happy lol.

A deload deload could help you if you are in a rut. Hyde is pretty much on the ball with everything there.

All I'm saying is there's been multiple misses on some heavy sets last week or so, and he said he feels like he needs it. So to me that says it's time to fall back, reload, and get ready for the next wave.
 
Another rest day today. Feeling better already, and not so worn down.

It's coming. Lol. It wasn't so much last time that I didn't want to deload, I just didn't know how to properly execute one.
 
Glad you're resting! You've been pushing hard!!!!

You gotta force yourself to have some light and moderate days. One reason I do the one body part per week is some muscle groups get worked doing other groups. Body as we get older need more rest and recoup. You aren't on cycle so give the muscles some rest.

Yeah, I think doing the chest twice a week caught up to me. My chest and lats gave really been slow to recover recently.
 
It's about time you rested!! ;) Enjoy it!

Trying to strengthen my core. My core seems to give out on squats before my legs do. Didn't have it in me to do GMs or hypers today.

Grip did not feel 100%. Even 385 felt heavy on the hands, which is odd. Normally I can hold 405 at the top for a looooooong time. Everything else felt good. I didn't feel any glute or back tightness at all.

Thanks everyone.

I'm so hot right now.

This a fancy school that requires them?

It's a private school and most of the books are online. They also use apps for certain stuff.

What the actual fuk. How is he breaking them?
Click to expand...

First one he dropped. The second one we heard conflicting stories. Some kids saw him punch another girls iPad but he says he thinks he barely touched the desk. Either way, the school required us to replace it.

This new one is also... something. He says he was pushed by a mystery person in the hallway and it broke. The other kids saw nothing and only know that it's broken because he told them. On top of the mysterious pusher story, the case we put the iPad in was the most protective one you could get and could supposedly fall like 10' and cause no harm to anything. A 4' drop from being pushed shouldn't have done anything. I'm thinking there is more to the story...
 
Awesome job Thomas! You soooo had 650!! You'll have it bo doubt next time! So strong!!!!! That sucks about the iPad! There are warranties with the life proof and otter box cases--they should cover it if it's either one of those.

650 tomorrow morning! I'm hoping either the case or iPad warranty cover it. If it was caused by something other than dropping it than it may not. Screen isn't cracked. It just won't turn on.

Sounds like it's a kid being a kid. I misbehaved in grade school too. That said, punish his a$$. iPads ain't cheap!!!

I don't know what to do. His school already eats almost all my income. We don't have the money for stupid stuff like this.
 
liftandswim said:
Is there any reason he doesn't go to public school?
Click to expand...

He didn't do well at all in public school. Acting out and horrible grades. This has improved in private school, so it's a must.

On top of that, public schools here suck in general.

First of all great deads session... 405 was a breeze, 450 soooo close.

Second, sorry to hear about another mishap.. how old is he.. might be time for an after school job to help cover some of these 'replacement' costs... Been there bro, I know how it feels.

13. Too young for after school jobs. Lol

Thanks Simon.
 
Send him back to public school and tell him "deal with it or deal with me". Fear or Respect, it's gotta be one, doesn't matter which but it's gonna be one!
Sell his xBox and say well, money has gotta come from somewhere.you break it you pay for it!

We've been that route. It isn't an option. It would be detrimental to his grades and behavior, again, and would be more of a punishment for us in the long run.

We will find away to hold him accountable for the computer though. He recently sold his motor bike but his douchebag father "borrowed" the money and will likely not return it like the couple other thousands he borrowed, including 4K from me 4 years ago...

All for the tough love, but like I said that will do more damage to him in the long run.

I wish we could get a refund on the class trip we just finished paying for...

Ya pulling the plug on something fun would have been good..

You are a good guy though, and a good dad - between your wife and you (as you seem to work as a team - which is 'alien' in my f((kin' world lol), you'll come up with appropriate action..
 
Yeah, I'm really old school. I just wouldn't make it raising kids. I believe in using a belt when it's warranted. More of the shock effect and not for it to really hurt. And never hand out punishment if you are mad. I've raised 2 sets of kids, none mine and guess I got lucky for the most part.
Good luck Thomas, it's just another challenge to conquer.

I believe in belts too, but that's not how it works being a step parent. Right now he's cleaning his room.

It'll work out. There's just some history of goofing off in school and damaging things beyond computers, and not taking responsibility, that's the most frustrating,
 
EliteFTS sent the missing band the other day. Still no INZER belt. Maybe it'll be here before the deload ends.

Assuming it starts. :)

I'm going to start videoing all my squats so I can nail down the form and what's best based on my body size. Smack posted some good videos in his log about it yesterday.

Yeah, I know you understand. Fortunately we have a good bond cause I've been around since such a young age.
