JAM's Log

[Sal Webber]

Wife been joining me for the strength days here lately. Has been good to have her company, but coaching her squat is not easy.

You probably already know this but just in case, BE CAREFUL MAN. I have found it hard for my wife to distinguish the criticism of a barbell movement from an insulting personal attack of her character. So...uh, we don't work out together and everybody is happy

[JAM]

Yes, training the wifey can be very testy. The first few sessions ended with her being mad at me. What i learned was to correct/critique only one problem. First we worked on keeping the back arched, then it was depth, then it was knee position. Finally it was try to put all that crap together. It has taken over a month to get a decent squat, and the depth is decent, but not great.

All the other lifts have gone well, but the squat was hard. Now if i could just get her to eat enough to get strong.......guess i'll start with breakfast, then lunch, then milk.......probably take a month. lol

Jam, I am an old fuck and graduated in 1992. Chemical engineering was the major but haven't used that in years.

I want to get my wife to train with me too. She has been doing squats that I taught her. just bodyweight though and she does them when I'm at work.

To misspelledgeoff: when did you graduate clemson? what major?

I'm an uneducated idiot. My sister and brother-in-law have undergraduate degrees from clemson.

SQ: 250x5,5,5
Press: 152.5x5,5,5
DL: 285x5

I didn't have chance to do my deadlift and conditioning workout on Sunday, so I picked up the DL today (with a 50lb reset). My log from last week had "very hard" written by the 245 i squatted. However i didn't think tonight's squat was super hard. So I missed my conditioning on sunday, and my squat got stronger and easier........i'm detecting a little telltale sign. My metcons are affecting my recovery, or I'm not eating enough to recover from both. hmmmmmmmmmm

[JAM]

PC: 165x3,3,3,3,3 done on a 2 minute rest cycle

Hanging knee raises till grip gave out....9....didn't take long. lol

Brutal workout.

DL: 295x5

Metcon: (3) 250 Rowing sprints with 3 min rest in between (45s, 51s, 54s)
I really like rowing as opposed to running in the cold. I think I'll do these every sunday, adding (1) interval each week, and decreasing the rest by 15 or 30 seconds each week. Till I get to 6 intervals with a minute rest.

Quads were sore today before I started. They haven't been sore since Oct when I began this program. Need to film my squats, make sure no form problems have snuck in.

Told the wifey if she keeps skipping the mid week workout and her hamstring stretches, that I wouldn't let her workout with me next Sat. My warning might work, but more than likely I won't get to have sex this week. The joys of spouse training.

It's always funnier when it hits close to home, lol.

This might be a good week to visit the thread "Should there be kissing in porn?"
