sadly, It wasn’t worth me flying in the girl I got into getting in great shape for the event, but I will see her eventually. I do have a nice date though, even if she is only a friend. It’ll be a nice weekend

I will prolly go and do something for 20 minutes… just get the blood moving… bowl a thon, drive to the lake, formal!

I had a very fun/drunk (but not like last week) weekend with my house…
back to work…
2 hours pick-up hoops
then lift
6 supersets 3 repsx135 incline press + 5 chin/pull-ups
3 supersets 12-20 reps x35 pound dbs decline press + 8x120 pound v-bar pulldown
2 supersets 12 reps x 60 pound barbell curls + 12 60 pound tripushdowns (the one where your back is up against something…)
1x20 decline sit-ups 95 pound bar across chest = HARD!

BOO! I don’t want to go workout…
Not that im feeling bad or anything…
its just 15 degrees F outside with wind chill at 2 below!

If I do…
DL 2x5x235
FSQ 6x3x145
hypers and abs…

Well,I did make it out there last night… good god it was cold. Workout was good, deads were solid, but tough, a true grind next week I will get 245x5 sans straps!.. tonight might be a different story…It’s 8 degrees right now, with wind chill at 5 below…
In anycase…
I have some serious writing to be done for both Con. Law and Jurisprudence…plus MCing initiating the freshman tonight… so I might not get to it…

I did want to mention a word about progress… in five weeks of just getting after it I went from nearly getting stapled with 265 to an easy 275 (at least 20 more left) in the squat. Also went from barely being able to pull 235 without straps to 235 for 5 in that time… also up from truly mediocre bench to marginally respectable… all the assistance lifts are up, i look better nekkid and Im faster than I was only a short time ago.
when I started this blog a few months ago, I wasn’t even fit enough to pick up a barbell, so…
moral of the story is just keep working! hard!

Im back home for the weekend, so if I get around to doing anything, I’ll let yall know.

all the assistance lifts are up, i look better nekkid and Im faster than I was only a short time ago.

Joe, just keep up the hard work, build some more muscle, and, before long, you won’t be able to keep the ladies away…they’ll be on you like white on rice. :slight_smile:

oh they already are… I take the best notes in class! (never discount that…)
besides, there’s only one I want, and she knows who she is :wink:
