Well I had great intentions of getting in 3 workouts this week before I head for vacation, but unfortunately I have other crap I have to do. So today’s sandbag workout is going to have to be it until I get back from vacation. I do plan on putting in some push-ups and body […]

Well this week is the end of this 3 week cycle, so that means I should be setting 2 new PR’s of some sort. First one up was incline barbell bench press. After last week I wasn’t sure what I was going to get, but as Alberto kindly pointed out somedays you got […]

Today was the heavy lower body day or deadlift day. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I wanted to hit a heavy single as I head into this vacation. So hopefully by the time I get back I’ll be primed to set a new PR. And that’s exactly what I did. […]

I’m not sure what it was with today, but I failed sooner on the seated DB press than I did last week. I eventually did more, but failed on the 4th set at 7 rather than 9. Very odd. But perhaps I’m hammering my triceps to much. I don’t think I’ll […]

Not much to report about today’s workout. In and out of the gym in my allotted time. I could go on about some of my future plans and thoughts that I have at the gym (why is it that stupid bench monkey’s and curl jockey’s look stronger than me? This I believe comes […]

I was expecting a little more out of today’s 3 rep max effort on the incline bench press, but I guess it wasn’t to be. 175 is respectable for 3 reps I think, but considering that I did 3 sets of 3 last week with 165, I don’t consider it that much of […]

Today was the heavy pulling day I’d been looking forward to for awhile. And I’m pretty pleased with the results. Of course I want more, but who doesn’t? I still did find myself lifting with my back as the weights got heavier, but not as bad. So I think if I […]

On June 29th the wife and I will be heading to San Francisco for a cousin’s wedding. Most of the trip will be a deload or an off week, but I usually like to try and get some sort of workout in on these off weeks. Just doing whatever the hell I want […]

I had great intentions of getting in a sandbag workout yesterday, but I was beat by the time I got home so I didn’t do the planned sandbag workout. Perhaps I’ll do one tomorrow since I’ll be lifting on Saturday. Later in the evening I did have a bit more energy as I […]

I’ve been wondering how I’d feel squatting again after the Bill Starr plan. Amazingly enough it didn’t feel that bad and the weight felt fairly light and the squats were very fast. I’ll probably stay at 150 for the next 2 weeks to build on the speed.
And I followed up the […]
