After how heavy 265 felt I knew there was no way I was going to get 300, which is what I really wanted.  I’m not sure why things felt extra heavy but they did.  I originally was only going to do 275, but figured it […]

All is well here.  I didn’t hit the gym since Wednesday so I’m starting to get that itch.  I’ll be testing my max squat tomorrow or Monday.  I’m not exactly sure. With any luck I’ll get the son of a bitch closer to 300!  Bench max on Wednesday, if I have someone to spot me, […]

This was my last workout for the week.  I did workouts on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  If I go to the gym at all the rest of this week it will be for some sort of cardio, but I will probably pass on it (if I can).
Yesterday’s workout consisted of rowing for 10 minutes (2000 […]

I’ve been going back and forth on what type of program I want to do when I’m done with this next max week (cut or just something with more GPP in it).  I’m probably going to ramble for a bit here but bear with me as I explain why I’ve been going back and forth.
It’s […]

I had to get into the gym today, but I was good and didn’t lift anything heavy. I did a bunch of warm up stuff, well more than I normally do when I’m in the gym on my lunch break. After that I hit the rowing machine for about 7 minutes and then went […]

Despite a pretty nasty snow storm last night I still made a trek over to train with Chad today.  The drive didn’t get off to a good start when I was all of a sudden driving through pea soup (fog…bad fog), […]

With the last attempted cut that I did I cut it short due to wanting to get stronger (still not satisfied with where I’m at with strength, but I’m willing to take a step back). So knowing this as I head into this “cut” (not sure I want to call it a cut or not)I […]

I wasn’t sure about hitting 220 after how 155 felt (heavy), but I got myself pumped up and I got through all of them. Damn spotter touched the last one, but I had it all the way […]

Just a quick up date to the post that I had last week about Jesse Marunde wanting to help out the infamous Diesel Weasel.
The Weasel (Max) has taken Jesse up on his offer to help him out with his training.   Max has started a log over at Jesse’s site that you can view here.  And […]
