    Wed., 9/06. 219.2#. eight pounds in three days, I guess that's totally realistic.

    OHP: 45x..., 95x8, 140x5,5,5. deload week, so nothing exciting, but I'm seriously caffeine deficient, so that's okay.

    BTN press: 95x5,5,5.

    Dips: 10, 10, 10.7. there was an attempt.

    Wrist Rollers: 20x2, 30x2,4.

    Got 5 minutes left for cardio, so:
    Treadmill, max incline, 0.25 miles. dear god, this is more boring than literally anything else I could be doing. I'd rather grind a 20-rep set of anything with a barbell than have to avert my eyes from the timer for yet another of the longest ten fucking seconds of my life. Or is it just because it's hard to breathe and I suck at this?
    We'll never know, because this will always suck.


    Cheeseburgers, pork steaks.

    SQ: 45x..., 135x5, 225x5, 295x5,5. deeeeelooooad.

    GM: 115x10,10,12. good stretch.

    Rev. Hyper: 45x12,12,12,15. working out that kink in the L lumbar.

    Prowler: 180#x50' x 4,2,2,2,2,2. now this is how you cardio. too many mosquitoes out here. very distracting, but at least not boring.

    CoC; 10,10,10.


    BLTs with eggs. Tomato Season is nigh.

    Sat., 9/08. 213.6#. Short & Sweat.

    Bench: 45x..., 95x10, 135x5, 155x5, 175x5,10.

    CGBP: 135x8,8,12.

    Delts: 15x20,20.

    Cheeseburgers.

    Training is rudely interrupted this weekend by the arrival of a 10 week-old kitten, as well as the stubborn refusal of the kitchen sink to drain. There's a big-ass clog beyond the P-traps, beyond the Y-joint, somewhere past the 90-degree bend to the left behind the wall. If I can just get a certain 70 year-old elbow coupler out of the way, I know I can blast it. Yeah, I know all the lingo, don't I?

    Got the elbow coupler off, and blasted the pipe, but to no avail. Can't get the snake past the bend behind the wall. Time to burn the house down.

    Kitten's doing great, though. Never seen such a tiny creature eat so much chicken.

    Wed., 9/12. 216.2#.

    Was headed out to the garage for deadlifts, when my neighbor came in from there: "Mosquitoes!" I decided to stay inside.

    Sat., 9/15. 215.4#.

    CoC: 20x1 not holds, singles. Surprised that I can hit these cold now.

    BP: 45x..., 95x12, 125x10, 145x8, 165x10.

    Incline: 95x10,10,12.

    DB Flys: 8x20,20. I like these better than cable flys. better stretch, and I don't feel like such a jabroni.

    -superset-
    Delts: 15x20,20,22.

    Drag Curlz: 45x20. yes. I was in the squat rack. nyaah, nyah-nyah-nyah.

    2 mi walk.


    Something German called a Bierock. Basically a pasty, except with an edible crust, and actually delicious filling. Popcorn, beer, slaw, mushrooms.


    Sun., 9/16. 214.2#.

    1.4mi walk. Doesn't look like much on paper, but I did lose some blood. Those skeeters are desperate enough to come out in the sunshine now.

    DL: 135x10, 225x5, 285x6, 330x4, 370x4. hook grip, belt @ 4.

    Deficit DL (2"): 225x8,8,8. Stiff-legged these just a little, for the, well, not the hamstrings directly, but the stuff lateral to the hams.

    Lat Pdowns: 80x12, 90x12,12. These actually do work the biceps. That little vein popped up.


    Indian buffet. Man, we missed this stuff. Rice & chicken & rice & chicken & bread & chicken & goat.

    Well, if I'm being perfectly honest, this whole barbell training thing came about because I wanted food to work for me rather than against me. Eat all the things!
