raw isn't war

[Smack]

Sucks training in the cold. I used to try to train in the cold (my garage) last winter time, which up here is from October to March, and needless to say, I never had much successful training.

Squats were almost a compete no no. I think I tried one March to squat and 140 crushed me. Benching also suffered a bit, I think. Deadlifting wasn't too affected, however. This was all due to being insufficiently warmed up enough to train. I get a much better session done at the uni gyms where it's warmer and I can get a decent warm up on the treadmill or exercise bike.

I occasionally even got migraines from trying to squat during January in my garage.

$35-$40 fixes that. its called a space heater.

put it on 1/2 hr before you plan on lifting should be toasty. before my old one died id get it toasty 80 degrees and then turn it off when i came in to lift.
gotta get me a new one. i hate the public gym

I'm thinking of trying the CrossFit workout "Fran" on Monday.

Over/under on 26 minutes anyone?

CrossFit is gay. Fuck that shit.

Extra workout:
DB extensions against bands 5x10

Face pulls against bands 2x20

It was snowy outside so I took my rope and tried to skip for a bit for added Rocky Balbaoage. I failed at that. I couldn't keep going long enough to get tired. My GPP is fine anyway. I would like to box though. Not necessarily this year, not necessarily in the next 10 years... but one day before I'm old and decrepid I want to do what probably 100% of well balanced men fantasize about and maybe 1% actually do.

I love using bands for tricep assistance work. Overrated for main exercises but ace for assistance.

These were narrow stance compared to normal (basically Rip's stance I think). They were actually quite hard and I jacked up my hips a bit and couldn't really do anything. Maybe from going down fast. They look high in the videos but I think that might be a little deceptive since I had a pretty good IPF lifter watching on the first set with 330 and they all felt about the same. Rep 2 of the last set was high for sure and I think the set with 308 was all high. Need to focus on forcing my knees out which is fine because I just haven't squatted in a while.

Anyway with a messed up hip I couldn't really do anything deadlifty.

Last set - http://www.facebook.com/video/?ref=s...v=225052043585

Knees sliding forward at the bottom I guess. Normally I squat with vertical shins so this is a new problem for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMUJ1-a2tTY

No journal of a skinny weak guy training like a useless cunt would be complete without CrossFit. Today is Cindy. Unfortunately I'll have to do actual pullups on a beam so I won't be as elite as professional kippers. I prefer cod anyway. Hopefully I won't be too tired to do some other stuff afterwards. Neck and abs so that I can win the US Navy bodyfat test.

I did 5 rounds of Cindy, then took a 10 minute rest, then 5 more rounds within the 20 minutes. Strong cardio. My asthma would have to get better for me to ever be good at this stuff I guess. After that I did 2x20 on the ab roller and 2x15 dumbbell flyes. Will be nice to train properly next week. Well, not properly properly but with barbells at least.
