Jim's Powerlifting Training

Not dead. Still doing stuff. Still suck. Started getting up in the AM before school to train so that I don't have to skip sessions when I have a ton of homework. It sucks.

I will update with today's stuff when I get home.
 
Yeah I have to wake at 4:15 to get my weekday sessions in before work. It’s about as great as it sounds.
 
I keep telling myself I will get up that early but now that I lift in my garage i feel like blaring the stereo and clanging weights from 4:30-6:00AM might not make me too popular with the neighbors...

Good to see you alive in here!

You either make the time or make excuses, right? There’s not always a better option - life tends to happen whether we like it or not.

That’s probably better for the bodyweight/calisthenics training and headphones!

Oh yeah I agree! However I either need to get up early every day or just train at night. I mean the occasional deviance is fine but I need a bit more of a consistent pattern, or I simply won't follow through. I know this about myself already. Now I could go to the gym in the AM for the weight workouts. Right now my daughter is starting to do things with me again so the evenings are working out right now.

I cant wait til my sons are old enough to smash weights and get jacked with me lol
 
Did a workout and stuff.

Gonna be posting more, now that school is over (this week is finals). Gonna be doing more stuff that you guys will recognize. Moving back to more traditional westside split, but will still be running 3x a week.

Won't be able to make ROTC in the fall. I didn't get my scores where they needed to be and don't have enough time to get the paperwork in order before the fall.

I will still keep on shooting for that goal, and may end up with an OCS packet after graduation instead of an ROTC packet through the remainder of school.
 
Today was ME Lower.

Duffalo LB Squat: work to 305 x 1
GHR: BW x 5 x 5
Belt Squat: 140 x 15 x 2

It has been a few weeks since I have been able to lift at all. Workload got really heavy these past few weeks with school, so everything felt heavy.

Dang you gonna try to do anything like buy it back maybe, or you giving up the goat?

Allstate was trying to repair it, but the body work is just too expensive. The guy absolutely trashed the rear quarter and axle and the way the body is designed makes it too expensive to repair the damage.

The accident was back on Good Friday, so I've been dealing with this since then.

At this point, I basically have to just take the payout because I don't have the cash to throw into the body repairs. It sucks because I really can't replace it later because it was the limited color run.
 
RIP, sorry to hear. Sucks putting money into cars as you usually aren’t getting it back out of them if there’s an accident.

Yeah, it is a real shame because it was a sweet car. We will see how they try to value it, I guess.

I had the interior pulled out when it got hit, so I have to go down to the body shop this week and reinstall most of it so that the adjustor can do his valuation.

That's true.

I mentioned that fact to your GF on a post in the SS group about how you bailed on me and jswain last time I was in Chicago.

To be fair, she was likely the reason I missed you guys! I try to accommodate her whenever she gets close to a big comp if we need to travel for an implement. She has to take off work to go anywhere on the weekends so it can be a pain.

The one that flooded is actually the one that the guy hit, so I do still have the other one. It needs a new engine though lol.

So are you trying to buy the engine from the other one from the insurance for it?
