Goals for 2012

[Karl Schudt]

I think I have a new goal: 600lb deadlift by the time my daughter (age 9) has boys coming over. That way, when they come to the house, I can say, "Hold on a minute. Let me finish this rep." Then I power up the 600, hold it at the top, smile like Andy Bolton, and then let it drop. Hand covered in chalk, I give the boy a strong handshake and say, "Nice to meet you."

It will be better than a shotgun. I've got about seven or eight years to do it.

Easily doable.

Now you just have to find a barbell made out of shotguns. And a water bottle shaped like a fetus so when you take a drink it looks like you're ripping its head off.

385#3 for the pull. Pretty happy.

Taking the rest of the week off. No sleep. Insufficient nutrition. Elbow pain. I'll repeat SM week 4 next week, but I'll do singles for squats on Monday--no 20s for me, thankyouverymuch.

Make sure to watch your bar path.

In the pursuit of something different, I started squatting completely raw recently. I got 315x10 the other night, and then followed it with a triple at 355. That was my max single in March 2011 (and it was REALLY ugly). It is great to see the numbers increasing. I am planning on testing my raw max single soon. I followed it up by jumping in my pool & watching the fireworks from the next town over. The best method for post-workout recovery.

I'm experimenting with an 'f' bar path, followed by a 'u' bar path. ;-P

I'm going to do it even better:

CF!

Is it too late to join the challenge? I'm working towards 200/300/400. Hopefully by september.

That's for chumps, real men use the Penrose stairs path.

For seriously?
