Dloves lifting log

Had a scare this morning. It's been a few days givin it to the ole lady and almost torn my side delt somehow, lol. Luckily it's feeling a little better but im gonna throw some tiger balm on it before the gym. How freakin embarrasing and man that makes you feel old gettin injured in the sac, lol.
Makin up for it now with a late breakfast, lean ground round patties, 4 free range eggs, bannana,bowl of cinnamom chex, lol im out of whole grains, glass of superfoods and black coffee it was a late night but finally slept like a baby thanx to two glasses of italian rose wine and a couple ativan. I dont like resorting to that but i hate lookin at the ceiling all night and haven't slept good in a while and it makes me edgey and weaker. Needless to say i slept like an angel and after this breakfast will feel even more energized.
Knees are still bothering me a little but nothin to major. Im thinkin of just widening my stance little more and keep the toes pointing out. Not sure bout DB rows if the lower back will allow it today so im gonna look at the machines at the new gym and see if i got sseething there. The Kentucky Derby is on today and i need to somehow step up the pace cause i wanna go to the river and pull-out some rainbow trout for dinner. The local hatchery just stocke 1,500 so fishin for trout is a lot easier now.
 
LOL!

Start using box squats and sit back so that your shins stay in 90degree angle to your knees.

Are you sitting down or back when you squat?
 
Good ? mike you know when pullinbig was on here he was gonna help me a little if i could video some of my lifts and send them to him. I can get my chic to record a little 30 second clip on my phone but i dunno how to post the video. It's also pretty dark in the power room at the gym. I was actually thinkin about lately if i can somehow record a little and let you look at it. After meeting some people at the comp i went too and chattin with you the importance of good form definitetly pans out to be as important as good food.
To finally answer your ?, lol. PB always was telling me to really stick your fanny out when you squat and when i do this it's hard to squat sitting down more sitting back.
We got a nice box i just noticed at the gym. The times when i was doing them before i would sit down on the preacher then power up. Maybe theres a good clip on here to watch real quick before i hit it? So id say im still pretty new to box squats.
So you should sit back with ass out mike?
 
Being all blown up doesn't impress me as much as being hard and strong now.

Yeah maybe 'cause you're already a fukkin beast! LOL

Great log dude - really enjoyed the banter between u & Mike about the bench press - I'm thinking I want to switch up my bench form from BB to PL. Board presses are interesting too - how thick is your board?

GTG but thanks for posting it all up - really a great read and gets me psyched for my workouts! Just gotta pack on about 45 lbs to catch up w/ u - maybe by summer ;-)

BTW - the Westside Training site has some great links to you tube vid of box squats - they all seem to stick their ass way out at the bottom! i just strated doing them myself and am really diggin it!

later Beast!

Think of the way you sit on the toilet bowl, well thats the way you should squat also, sit back not down. That keeps the weigth on the muscles and away from the knees.

Look at this:

Do you understand why the weigth is not su much on the knees with that form?

P.S. That guy is Ano Turtiainen, my personal PL hero, a great guy and has helped me a lot when i was training at hes gym, yeah hes pretty strong too with a 400kg dead and 500kg squat:D
 
O.k. 8 plates on each side, lol, nice! It looks like im doin them right as far as ass out and sitting back. I was beginning to wonder if my stance was to far out but man definitely not after lookin at the heavyweights again. Im thinkin im just gonna go as wide as the rack will allow that should be about how it looks in the monsters pic up there. Goin wider seems to help me load up more weight so this oughta be interesting next week. Ive been noticing something mike. Looks like heavy squatters have huge upper bodys and heavy pullers have insainely big legs? Today wasn't good by the way.
 
Well yesterdays training wasn't the best my lower body was just toast from earlier in the week. Im sure ill adjust as the weeks progress and I get back in the groove. Tried to do 4 warm-ups then 3-4 working sets at 10 I wanted to do 12-15 but I cant stand that rep range. Shit I cant stand 8-10 reps but went with advice and stayed high with 80% ME. Then did 4 sets of 10 pull-threws. I tried different ways back parralel to the floor and back 45degree. Ill report and say back 45degree was targeting my hammys more. Took a nice wide stance on both. Then hit 4 sets of one hand cable rows on the low pulley, ive always liked these they went well. Pens were playing the Caps so I spent 20 min of the last 3rd quarter watchin the game on the treadmill moderate walk 3.5 on 5.0 incline. Hit some abs then done. Diet was good yesterday finally got some salmon in, great chicken stir frye dish but no trout fishin very upset about that so im gonna hopefully get to the cove today and keep my fingers crossed for a wall-eye their amazing tastes like butter.

Today will be 40 minutes low impact cardio after 5-10 in the stretching room. Then off tommorow and hopefully feelin strong for board presses day after.
 
Oh yeah had a little pain in upper thigh so I hit it with the magic stick after workout. This thing is not for the faint at heart it fuckin burns big-time but you guys might wanna get one for this program. It's called Capzasin active ingredient is capsacin amazing for muscle strains woke up today and pain was gone like usuall. DO NOT get this shit on your hands and rub your eyes or even worse take a piss your dick will feel like it's in an oven, lol.
 
Cool beans dude - what is your plan w/ the cardio - ed?eod? I've got to add it in - I'm getting too much belly fat again - that shit collects so GD fast! Looking forward to your post on the board presses!


later!

Plan with the cardio lean is pretty much just hitting it when I can. Got two days last week in and hoping to get another 2-3 this week. I really dont like doing it after my lifts cause im so spent and with my new 9-5 scheduele I dont go after work. I hear ya on how easy it is to put on a little belly fat. I miss my old place here because it was a nice place for an early morning trail walk/jog. Im more on the main road now temporarily but only a stone throw away from the lake so once this shit weather leaves im thinking about some early morning kayaking. Nothing ever tightens me up better than 30-40min low impact cardio bright and early on an empty stomach.

Must report after just 3 lifts of the new routine and 2 cardio days and slightly better diet, more pro less carbs even my chic noticed Im already tightening up a lot. Middle abs are now comin in somehow and bodyweight yeasterday was down to 265lbs. Im usually all about numbers kinda my nature the whole bigger better thing but man I love losing fat. 250ish ripped is my ultimate goal. Gonna take some time and a lot of kayaking/swimming for that though. This will be interesting to see if I get stronger and lose weight at the same time I hear it's not easy.
Man just noticed today I overanalyze the living shit out of everything. I think it's cause of my line of work. My girl calls me mr. run on sentence, lol.
Peace

The kayaking should be great for leaning you out - the swimming, I dunno - never had any luck w/ that for fat loss. i am doing baoxing a few nights a week so that is like HIIT, so i think no effect on BF. I am adding in low intensity cardio (treadmill walk) for 45-60 mins to try to loose the belly fat.
 
Well last night I was freakikin stoked to hit the gym for a quick pump on my lunch break today but however I hit the hospital. Sucks balls im so pissed if it wasn't for these painkillers id probably be really pissed, lol. I have a 101 fever and was in pain from head to toe. Im not in pain from the new routine, I have a wicked body flu that has been floating around here. I dunno if im gonna be able to get in the gym tommorow this illness has me so fuckin weak it's unreal, i can barely get out of the car. I tell you everytime I get my shit together at work or in the gym some unexpected bullshit happens to me. To top it off we are on our 8th day of rain with 100% humidity and the remainder of the week their calling for more rain. I was stoked to start benching again PL style it's the only way imo. Tucking the feet back and driving the thighs in the bench along with tucking elbows in as you lower the bar to the upper abdomen really helps increase the weight used on the flat. I remember some time back when I struggled getting 225 up for 6 and then my brother showed me how powerlifters bench I hit 225 for 10 the next week. It takes a little getting used to but when you get it you will never bench BB style.

Bro, I hope you feel better. Hope it's not the swine flu brother. Get well and hit it hard...

Peace
 
Okay - so that suks big time! Take your meds and get the fever down, eat well and when you recover your muscle memory will kick in. Plus we're here to kick your ass if you get to feeling sorry for yourself! LOL
Take care bro!

BTW - you got me stoked to try the PL bench style..
 
Well this still really fuckin sucks! I am just watching myself waste away. What we thought was a flu is actually food poisoining.. I dont know if it was from the 6 raw eggs in the blender the morning I got sick or the bloody steak from the night before. I think it's the raw eggs. I usually cook my eggs but was pressed to get in the office two days ago so I blended up a bunch of eggs, oats, milk, superfoods, grapes.
Needless to say I cant eat shit now. Even drinking water rumbles my stomach and within minutes in the shitter. I can only keep down gatorade. This is bullshit!
Im taking this stomach pill called Famotidine it hasn't helped. The immodium doesn't phase this either. Im disgusted all I can think of is jumping on some growth here in a month or so after some intense training and dieting. I have a valid script to hgh, test and nandrolone(ill explain that one later) lets just say it sometimes pays to be over 31. The problem is it's very pricey and money is still tight, but U.S. Pharmaceutical gear makes UG shit look like a joke! Im thinking of saying fuck it to the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and jumping on growth and low dose of test instead, lol. This is after I get well of course and after some serious training.

Also threw all this shit my doc fiqured something out. I tend to complain my size doesn't match my strength. Ive been on 6mg's a day of a med called Klonopin and 50mg of a med called Atenelol, it's a beta blocker. They both drive your energy and strength in the gutter. After consulting with another doc he was shocked I even had the energy to leave the house let alone the gym. I quit the klonopin a week ago and their gettin back today with an alternative to the beta blocker. Now maybe you guys see why I want growth and low dose of test, im a medical mess, lol!
 
Sux Bor. I had food poisoning about 3 months ago in Vegas. Not sure what I ate but when I got home I was throwing up and shitting water for about 16 hrs. I even threw up so hard I past out and hit my head on the wall in the bathroom. The wife had to wake me up, lol!!! I lost 18lbs in like three days. I dont wish that on anyone, felt like I was going to die!!!
I sent you a PM.

Peace brotha!

Yo bro - it's so fukkin hard to figure out what all these drugs do to you - especially the ones the doctors push. At least with the gear you have an idea of what it's supposed to look like. I took a whole mess of brain drugs a few years back for migraines and whoa - some of that shit made me a zombie - and added fat too (Okay so it was the food, but the hunger came from the drugs) now I'm on a couple that seem to work pretty good but don't mess too much with my physical being (as far as I can tell)


Major bummer about the stomach thing - I am sure you already heard this 1,00000 times so far, but go for the pasteurized eggs in the belender dude! they have no egg yolks so better for you and no cahance of salmonella. Costco has them in 6 packs - each 2 cups - i usually drink 2 cups a day. much easier than eating that much egg protein. i usually blend them with a little nonfat milk, crushed ice, vanilla and 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder - most awsome! you can even substitue cold coffee for the milk and make a mocha!.

Take care bro - hope you are feeling better soon.
