In all honesty the lower volume and higher intensity / shorter breaks will probably benefit you quite well. Can't always crush the volume and get away with it. Sometimes we think we are then the hampered recovery rears its head with an injury, ache, pain or just overall lack of desire to crush it.
 
And at those weights, the volume is there by sheer tonnage!!

Good work!

I wanted a few more exercises for my secondary chest portion. And didn't get my shrugs in either. Needed about 12-15 minutes more.

You are correct sir! I found I can add in my secondary chest(machines) with the shoulders and it works quite well for me. My chest volume and weight will increase on my primary day in the long run.

Thanks man. I'm blessed with quick recovery between sets from doing so much volume over the years I think. Body adapts!

Was plenty, and I hope nothing comes of that feeling. I hear that and my mind goes to my labrum... Nice rowing for sure.

Hope not! And I don't think so, fingers crossed. I've felt it before on doing these and it's only when I go over 130 and only with the right. I'm hoping I just stretched too deep(low).
The left side even at 140 I'm still pretty explosive with. Like starting a lawnmower and squeezing at the top. Really engage the lats.
 
Chris, you got another log running? If so what's the link?

I know how you feel about leaving home. When I traveled all the time it was hell. Look at it this way: you are heading out for a great adventure in a place most people will never see in their life.

I am not a fan of leaving the family at home when I do trial set ups either.
 
Yeah. The wife and I discussed this one at length before I agreed to it. The additional bankroll is just too much to pass up. And she knows I love a challenge, and not had a good challenge(work wise) in 4-5 years.
 
I don't envy your position, leaving the family, but I'd likely do the same. You'll be home in no time and will have enough money to move to Florida, retire, and help me build a gym. :banana:

Only thing on Adak worth hunting is the Caribou. Some of the largest in all Alaska though. No predators on the island.

I'm toast. Eat, spend time with wife, and pack.
Next 3 weeks I'll be in Seattle. 24hr fitness only a few miles from the hotel and the barge loading yard. Should be able to get some workouts in!
 
Safe travels Brian!

You gonna have Internet access the time you're away?
 
Seattle I will. I'll have some internet connection on Adak. I plan on making friends with the right people so I get what I need. Company doesn't want to foot the bill for 30-40 peoples internet connection. So I'll see when I get there what it'll cost me and how much data I can get. Will have a T1 connection for the office.
 
Travel safe Brian. The Great Adventure begins!
 
Yeah, did my adventure ever begin. On the first plane I had a 400lb guy in front of me. He had to recline his seat. Needless to say it put him less than 18" to me. That started my increased BP. Then, I get to Atlanta and my phone says no service...more on that later. Next flight: Atlanta to Seattle, delayed, new flight with different seat assignments. I get Row 18 just advance of the exit row. These seats don't recline, and I'm stuck in the middle of a three seat row. My BP was way over what it should've been. Get to Seattle and call ATT. Spend an hour on phone with him. Said I need to call back in the am. I call at 6am, spend another hour only for him to tell me I need to go to an ATT store. Go there and the girl knew just what to do. Pop out the SIM card, put new card in and it works like a charm. Dang, what a rough 24hrs...lol

Problem is it is an iPhone. I've always had an iPhone. Guess they are vulnerable now to have problems too. Girl at the store hooked me right up though, no charge.

These sure have a different feel to them. And you're starting from a tight position with your knees by your ears. 240 was max on the machine. First rep on each set is the hardest since you are starting in that tight position. Heckuva pump on the quads though! Massive pump!

Well, looks like I went AWOL there...lol
Been just super busy getting this job all set up. You wouldn't believe the hours I've put in getting everything. Have managed to get some workouts in. Diet has suffered some, but mainly just a lack of calories and not bad calories. Anyway, getting packed up, then out for dinner, and then up at 4am for an 0630 flight. Will get home at about 9pm tomorrow night. Then 8 days at home and off to Adak.
Will try and catch up on everyone's logs tomorrow during my layovers.

Here's a couple pics of the barge after its loaded and headed out.Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
