Jim's Training to Become a Human Tank!

I'm not saying I'm happy you passed out after a failed stone attempt, but it's badass you tried to get back at it.

Interested to see how your 1rm's respond to this volume.

Lol, brings back childhood memories man!


Plus, if DBZ doesn't make you want to lift, and just generally be more badass, then you shouldn't be in the gym lol.
 
It might be time for you to turn this log from a strongman log into a crossfit log...
 
I can still dig the action from DBZ, honestly. It was pretty sweet. I never liked all the in-between stuff, which did constitute 85% of that show, but the 15% was still very up there.

I remember being a fan of Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in a Shell. Now that shít was cool
 
You young'nz and your cartoons...
 
I liked Cowboy Bebop, GITS not as much. I would still watch it, but I missed way too many episodes to have any idea what was going on lol.
 
Used to love adult swim. Lets not forget those gansta ass mutha ****as Aqua Teen Hunger Force!

DBZ was GOAT. I'd still watch if in tv

I was never a big fan of ATHF. I don't typically like those types of TV shows.

I watch DBZ on the internet while I'm eating, usually. My wife had never seen it so I got her watching it before I joined the army (original dragonball), we're getting close to the end of DBZ now.
 
Don't you dare talk bad about Squidbillies! Another classic is Boondocks. I'm allowed to like Boondocks, right?

I just think it's retarded.

You're not wrong. Squidbillies is definitely retarded. I don't mind excessively dumb humor. Scratch that, I love excessively dumb humor.

I didn't know there was one.

I think there was more than one. And yeah inuyasha got pretty weak after a while. Squidbillies is lame. Boondocks, never watched it. ATHF was alright, when I was younger. No matter what though Archer is hands down the number one adult themed cartoon show a couple years running

Archer is hilarious.
 
Archer is pretty boss. I hardly get to watch it though bc the wife and I don't agree on its value lol
 
Still incredibly sore today, took the buffer to my lower back/hammies/glutes/quads before doing my warmups today.


Log Press Accumulation 8's Wave

Log Press from Rack: 170 x 5, 190 x 5, 200 x 2 (left arm buckled), 200 x 4 (PR)

Wanted either 190 x 5 or 200 x 5, the 190 looked good (although it felt awful lol) so I took the 200 for a ride. My arm just buckled under the 3rd rep so I took a couple of minutes and went back for it. Only got 4, but my previous best was 3 so I'm not too disappointed with that.

Log Clean + Press: 120 x 8 x 4 (strict), 120 x 5--4 (5 strict, 4 push)

Triceps were not having anything to do with that last set lol. I'm thinking that for the Accumulation/Intensification week for log press I will be doing them strict (as much as possible) and then doing the last set on Realization week all as Push Presses (no jerks).

a1. DB Rows: 100 x 12 x 3 (straps)
a2. HG Chins: BW x 5, BW x 3, BW x 2 (LOL)

Smoked lol. Those DB Rows were a TERRIBLE idea.

OH Tricep Ext. : MD Black x 50 (2 sets to complete)

I will use a bigger band for these next time. This workout was a ball buster, I was sucking so much wind on those DB Rows.



This volume is a terrible, terrible thing.
 
You're getting pretty good at putting shït over your head. Must come in handy when putting cereal boxes back on top of the pantry. I'm getting awfully curious as to where your bench press is sitting at these days.

My close grip is feeling pretty good lol. I'll also be incline benching on Friday's now so we'll see how that goes.
 
I had the same thoughts as Herder on thinking it may have helped your bench.
 
So gonna do a strongman meet, truck pull is an event, I don't have access to that. Replacements? Thinking sled pull and prowler pushing.

Sled Pull for sure, if you have a harness you can attach it to your vehicle and pull it.

Will you be able to get a rope to hold onto, because that makes a big difference IME.

No lead rope they said, unless they add one the day of, I don't have a harness. Should have no problem pulling a sled with a harness.

Oh, then it won't make as much of a difference to use the sled since there is no lead rope.

In that case, just do heavy sled pulls. The idea is to take short, quick steps and minimize the amount of time spent trying to move with one leg, and no matter what don't stop moving your feet because once that momentum is gone....it can be hard to get back.
 
Thanks for the advice.

nice game jimbo, my ball is coming out weds for the first time in a couple months.

usually, this leads to around a 570-580..

I'm only on the league to be the DD lol, I'm actually not bad because my AVG is only a 135 or so and I am bowling above that pretty consistently now.

I was actually bowling like shít up until the 9th frame of our second game and struck out from there to get a 150 lol. I don't know what happened with the 3rd game, I was bowling poorly and saw the dude get a 300 and then struck out lol. (except for the 3rd ball in the 10th, I left a 5 pin).
