    Sun., 9/07. 224.6#. So., I was marveling at the aisle of useless fitness stuff at the local Target, when I found one of those big neoprene torso wrap things. Marketed for sweating off your belly fat, I assume. I see it as a nice under-belt back warmer.

    OHP: 45x..., 95x8, 135x5, 162.5x2 - bar was unbalanced with a twoie on one side and a fiver on the other. I didn't care. 182.5 x 3,3,4 - hit a good groove there finally. 145x8,8,8.

    Cable Row: 195x5,5,5,5,10.

    the neoprene corset comes off, and I fall out of it like a slow-cooked boneless leg roast.

    Side Delts: 15x12,12,12.


    tamales, scrambled eggs, and chicken wings. and watermelon.

    back actually feels really good. I can easily see this developing into me jamming myself into a scuba suit one size too small. Next stops will be compression shorts and something for the shoulders.

    -superset-
    Dips: 5, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10. gettin' there. Where, I dunno, but I'm gettin' there.

    the neoprene corset is under the shirt today. somehow, it makes the belt even harder to prong. and the sweat. oh, the sweat...


    nuts & cheese - excuse me, I should be more specific: pistachios and Jarlsberg (adjusts monocle).
    venison stew, watermelon.

    Sun., 9/15. Got the strawberries transplanted. Good low back pump, assisted by my neoprene corset.

    OHP: 45x..., 135x5, 165x3, 185x1,1,1,1,1, 150x5,5,5.

    DB OHP: 25x12,12,12,12,12. mostly to stretch at the bottom. What am I stretching here? delts? traps? suspension of disbelief?


    Oh, shit, we got bikes! Hey-yo!
    The brightside: found a nearby place that serves biscuits and gravy worth going back for.

    Bad news: I forgot my lunch today.
    Good news: my favorite Jamaican food cart is only a block away!
    Bad news: I now have the jurps*.


    SQ: 45x..., 135x8, 225x5, 305x5,5,5. calling it a deload week. Gotta get out of here before the jarts** begin.


    1 mi walk home to some baked chicken & crispy skin.






    * That special gaseous melange of jerk seasoning, beans & rice, and gastric juices. Each belch singes the nose hairs a little more.


    ** Oh, you know. You know.

    Sun., 9/22. 221.6#. Sunday funday here. All the serious lifters taking up all the squat racks, and then there's us. Since there's no spring collars left, everything goes up by 5 pounds from the screw collars.

    SLDL: 140x8.

    DL: 230x5, 320x3, 390x1,1,1. saved the belt for the last set.

    SLDL: 320x5.

    Rows: 230x3,3,3,3,3, 160x10, supine grip x 10,10,10.


    protein shake right away, followed by bacon, chicken/squash/mushroom soup (kinda like Kang Gai), and testing out a new egg pan! a copper-ceramic, as seen on TV. so far, so good.

    OHP: 45x..., 95x8, 135x5, 155x3, 172.5 x 4,3,3,4,4. caffeine deficiency.

    Cable Row: 165x5, 195x5, 210x5,5. Just to keep warm between sets - say, speaking of which, that neoprene corset feels... well, it feels sweaty. My lower back, though. Lower back feels great.


    smoked pork chop over stir fry veggies & noodles.
