Deadlifts felt good yesterday. The weight didn’t seem to heavy, unlike last week.  I seem to go in spurts on which workouts feel good and which one’s don’t feel all that good. Which as long as I keep this in mind…it’s great!  As soon as I was done with my deadlifts, some dude loaded up […]

Everything moved fairly well today.  I ended up doing rack lockouts just up against the bench which decreased the range of motion a little bit, but I still think it worked the triceps and lockout power.  Next up deadlifts and I’m hoping they feel better than last week!

I am 2/3rds of the way done with the 16’s.  Let me tell you afterwards I could feel that afterburn.  I was sweating a little bit as I just sat at my desk. So I’m guessing that this will shave a bit of fat off of me and perhaps add a bit of muscle.  Which […]

Benching was good today.  I played around with my feet placing. Since I’m looking to do a meet in November and the rules stated that feet must be on the ground I’ve tried putting my heals down.  However I’m wondering if that rule just really means the feet have to touch the ground in some […]

800 meters have to be one of the hardest things to run.  Today’s weather was perfect for running and I thought it would make running these 800’s nice and easy, but alas that was not the case.  But on the other hand I went out pretty hard as you will see from my times.  Next […]

All of the lifts felt good today.  I was a bit surprised by how much I had to work at the 275, but hopefully it was just one of those days.  Tomorrow I’m going to try and get run in (the 800 meters) if time permits.  And then it’s off to a bachelor party….3 hours […]

The energy wasn’t there today when it was time for a workout, but once I got to the gym and started lifting, I found some energy.  I’m glad I moved the deadlift day to Friday.

I thought it was worth while to post this link since I had a few people on this blog claiming the the Americans were cheating at the Venice Beach where Pudz took 2nd place to Dave.  Dave has a great right up of what happened from his perspective.  Please note the part where he explains […]

Sorry for the poke at Shakira’s song, but I couldn’t resist ( I don’t think she’s got tight hips by the way!).
Any how I know I’ve got tight hips.  I realized this a few weeks ago when trying to dance (yes, some guys do dance!).  So I’ve been trying to lossen the hips up a […]
