That is why I love Blackhawk fans. Nothing better than watching them away in Detroit, Nashville, Columbus, and way out in Anaheim, Phoenix, LA etc and all of a sudded you hear Lets Go Hawks chants.

We deserve it after all the crap years waiting for old man Bill to die lol

I've heard them called that before...and could see it happening to your shoulder with too much tension. :eek:
 
Didn't see the game Breezy, but a loss to the Isles sucks large.. wanted to get those couple of points up on the Habs...

It's ridiculous. I think it'll be close to 70 degrees again next week.

Thanks dude. I hadn't either until last week. They're pretty tough. I could've used the fat bar alone.

Good lookin workout breezy. Those drag curls look pretty rough. Another one for the arsenal.
Click to expand...

Thanks man. They definitely aren't easy. Look forward to hearing what you think.
 
We ended up with the full mixed bag over the last 24 hours... rain, snow, freezing rain, and some hail (this one while I was half way through my run last night - lovely)...

Nice workout Breezy.. always inspiring.

Sounds like a blast. I got caught in some high winds and sleet/freezing rain this morning...beats running in hail though.

Thank you sir.

BTW, I mailed your samples yesterday.
 
Drag curls, yet another one to add to my list.

Haha. Well, no gym for me tomorrow, so you won't be missing anything.

I kept my leg session very similar to last week’s. I added some weight to a couple lifts and worked on improving my form/technique with others.


Lying Leg Curl
2 warm-up x20
110x15
120x12
130x10
140x8


Box Jumps (2’/~20sec rest)
5 sets of 3 with 30lb dumbbells


BB Back Squat
135x8
225x8
315x5
405x3
455x3


Speed Squats (1min rest)
6 sets of 4 @ 315lbs

-I made a lot of improvement, but still need to work on them.


Pause Squats (narrow stance/7sec pause)
275x5
275x5
275x4

-I had one of the trainers timing my pause. He was very loud, which brought some extra attention and added pressure.

-I probably could've gotten the 5th rep on the final set, but it would've been ugly.


Sissy Squat (stand/2sec hold)
3 sets of BWx8

-These are brutal if leaning back far enough.


Kettlebell Walking Lunges (weight per kettlebell)
50x26
50x22


GHR
BW+25x9
BW+25x8
BW+25x6
 
How is it doing box jumps with dumbells like that? It seems like it would be terribly awkward using anything but a weighted vest.

I really like them. Keeping the dumbbells by your sides eliminates the possibility of swinging your arms for momentum.
 
Try reppin 135 out for one set 50 times and don't stop until you hit 50. You'll hate yourself.

There's a friendly push/pull at my gym in Bellrica in June. You should swing by and do it. I know it's not your style but its just for fun.

The 1.5 x squats you were doing a while back, killed me when I tried them.. those last few reps...
Click to expand...

Yup, they're really tough. You should try pause squats sometime as well.

Sounds fun. I'll give it a shot.

I just might. I'd always been more into powerlifting until recently. The Mtn. Dog higher rep stuff is all very new to me.

I usually try out one of your exercises each week - always proves to be interesting to say the least.... I will give the pause squats a try on Thursday...

Nice. They're pretty interesting as well lol.

I weighed 211.6lbs (-5.4lbs overall) this morning. I'll be lowering my caloric intake another 100-200 calories starting today. This is my first time cutting since I unintentionally lost a ton of weight a couple years ago and I've been taking it slow. My body handles food (calories) differently now, so I wasn't sure what to expect.

I'm currently missing PowerFULL. My sleep quality is still decent, but not nearly as good as it was. Getting out of bed definitely isn't as easy. I'll be adding it back into my supp arsenal within the next week or so.

I've slowly developed a cold over the last week. I woke up very congested and with a sore throat. I don't feel too bad at this point and hope it clears up soon.

I had planned on heading to the football field for HIIT this morning, but considering how I felt, it didn't seem like the best idea. However, I did 45mins LISS on the bike at home. OEP had my body temperature up, and it felt good to get a decent sweat going.
 
Good that you were able to still get your LISS in.... Hope you feel better brother and rest up.

I'm using PowerFULL now. To start with I wasn't sure if I liked it as I got some very disturbing dreams where I wasn't sure if I was asleep or awake, but I have to admit now my sleep is very deep.
 
Just made 4 homemade pizzas from scratch, for the family. About to go in the oven... Carb up day!

Thanks man. I've felt this coming all week, but apparently couldn't avoid it.

Glad it's working out for you. I never remember my dreams when using PowerFULL, but always wake up feeling fantastic.

Those look like they will be great, hard to beat a home made pizza, and you got my favorite topping I see, hot peppers

I find my dreams very vivid on it..I do get night terrors at times, but for the most part sleep is rest full.
