Today was the last round of squatting on phase one of the strength program. Overall I’m pretty pleased with the progress that I made. I didn’t get into any new ground with the numbers I was putting up, but I think it’s got me going in the right direction and in the next […]

Another week in the books means another podcast. I downloaded Skype this week and it’s working so I’m looking to do some interviews despite my lack of interview skills. I’ve had one “request” so far so if there are any users of Skype and you want to chat or are willing to participate let […]

Those of you that lift in gyms that are geared towards heaving lifting or those that have home gyms have no idea what you are missing by working out at a public gym. It would be so easy for me to change the format of the blog/log so that it’s about the silly things […]

Another deadlift day in the books. This one seemed a bit harder than the one last week, but I guess you can’t have good days every day. Right? The weights felt really good. 295 was a bit harder than I thought it should be, but I guess that’s to be expected. […]

Today was the third bench workout and given how things went last week I was pretty excited about it. Well at least interested to see how things were going to go.
Benching went extremely well. Upped all the weights about 5 lbs on everything. The 1 rep at 210 was semi-easy. […]

I think most of the people that come to this forum are more into lifting heavy weight than they are lifting a lot of weight for an extended period of time. However I do know that there are some, myself included, that are somewhat interested in the cross training type of workouts…as brutal as […]

Lets see if I can get this one correct. Last time I didn’t add the extension. The previous time I didn’t have the pathing correct. So third times a charm right?
Comments and suggestions are all appreciated.
Episode 3 (3.62Megs;10:33)

Today starts week three of this program. I didn’t up the weight on things as much as I had in the past which is probably a good thing. Perhaps I started out a little to heavy or the body’s just getting used to the heavy weights. Despite taking it light on some […]

Despite not feeling ready for today’s workout I managed to get it done with all the weights that I wanted to. Next week I’ll up the first setup of chin-ups to have some weight (probably 2.5lbs) and then go from there. Instead of doing some assisted chin-ups on the last set of 10 […]

A heavy deadlift session is just what the doctor ordered today. Work was getting to me and I was able to clear my mind by lifting. Weight lifting is one of those things where if you don’t concentrate on the weights they are going to get you. In the end it takes your […]
