Big T & MMW: To Keep Lean & Stay Mean ;)

Yeah, I'm with Tom, I am stubborn and I'm just going to keep pullin' that ****. My grip will catch up, because I'm going to make it HAVE to.

Phate, for the record, I also love some tasty sausage. I might have to go nuts this Saturday and eat a whole pack of turkey sauasage. :D

Tom, no worries on the workout. You still went. And as you told me after my Monday workout, some days are like that, just ****ty. Better to err on the safe side when doing deadlifts. It's all good man! Congrats on the improved running!

OKay, so my workout yesterday, made lots of improvements. And it's funny, because my weight is actually down to 192. I've already made adjustments, going to be eating an extra 100 cals of rice, and more chicken. I'm not even sweating it though, my strength is going up, while just being barely under maintainence. With a couple hundred more cals, I should be good for a couple weeks.

Squats
5 x 135
5 x 155
5 x 175
4 x 175
5 x 165
10 x 135

Last week I managed just one set of 3 @ 175 pounds. Got a set of 5 and 4 reps in this week, just felt full of energy.

OH Press
5 x 95
5 x 105
5 x 100

Tight! I had never really come close to doing a set with 105, and I finished it no problem.

T-Bar Rows
5 x 100
5 x 90
5 x 90

Flat BB Bench
5 x 135
5 x 135
5 x 145

Face Pulls
5 x 70
5 x 70
5 x 80

So the T-Bar rows and Facepulls were a nice change of pace, hadn't done them in awhile. I confirmed that I am butt at benching, real bad. Still a good workout cause of the squat and OH Press improvements!
 
Good to see improvements MMW! Nice squatting, the only way is forward :D

That bench press isnt so bad! Just think, you did it after a few exercises.
 
Yeah, that's a good mindset, the only way is forward indeed. It just feels so good to make advancements, makes all the eating and hard work in the gym worth it.

Ha, yeah the bench did come after a couple things, but I still think it wouldn't have been much better.
 
Enjoyed todays session, i thought to myself 'iv never squatted more than 220lbs', never even tried. So since i was on my own, i gave myself a little test. And i squatted more than i thought i could :D

Was an ok workout, although iv now noticed im more fatigued when i lift lighter for more reps, rather than heavier.
 
Damn, nice job on the squats!!!! Ok workout? Dude, you did great! I'm jealous.

Lighter weight, higher reps typically wears me out more too. Not that heavy weight, low reps doesn't do a number, it's just a different feeling of exhaustion.

I actually think these team journals help a lot, it makes me try harder.

Ya, x2!

'twas a time where I 'laid the smack down', then I proceeded to abruptly 'open up a can 'o' whoop ass', shortly before I 'popped a cap in his ass'

I killed a man once.

Wasn't pretty.
 
Man i feel good today. Legs haven't been this sore for a long time! Going to push myself with squatting all the time now.

Some of my joints feel a bit pain like, including my shins. Hope its just temporary and will go soon.
 
First, that's a lovely specimen you have in your avatar now.

I was pretty sore yesterday too, not too much though. The sooner I get my PWO shake in me, the less sore I am the next day, it's interesting. Sometimes I get the feeling that my joints, I reckon after a few weeks of growth I will need to take a week off. And my shins and right above my knees are typically slightly bruised from the heavy deadlifts.

Yea i think thats how my shins/knees are.

And thanks for the avatar compliment :D

Whens your next workout?
 
Today after work I'll be liftin. I was thinking about doing deadlifts again. Then maybe some dips, pullups, woodchops...should make for a good time. I want to get better at my damn deadlifting! Eating about 3,000 calories on lifting days now.
 
BTW, did you change your avatar because of the s--- you got in the "Come on" thread? I like the sheep avatar better.
 
Yesterdays workout was ok, was expecting a bit better though.
