A Polaks Texasmethod

[MattJ.D.]

This workout was 50/50 I didn't get to do a workout in the middle of the work because I had to work late constantly (I work nights) and my low life of a cousin whos 31 had to take him to probation one day (not enough time), then pick him up from court (not enough time) another.

Friday August 12th
Squats 310x1x5, 310x2, 310x4...I know I can get this fucking weight and its pissing me off, if I fail again Monday I'm going to reset to 275...which I really don't want to do, When I get tired, I'm becoming loose in the bottom going too far , then I lean too far forward coming out of the hole and bar goes over my mid-foot, what happened both sets... I know I can fucking get it..also the last two sets where 4 mins apart so I know if I can stop myself from collapsing at the bottom I can fucking do this
Bench 247.5x1x5...this was tough but not horrible last rep got a little sloppy but shit has to give on limit sets like Ripp says
Deadlifts 380x1x3 these were bad, tried hook got two thumbs where in pain went to normal DOH got 1 more, tried to pull again with hook couldn't even budge it more than 2 inches
Dips BW+55lbsx3x5
Pull ups BWx3, BWx3, BWx3
Curls and calves

Squats reset to 275x3x5...kept good form so I'm guessing ill crush 310 when I get there in a week or two
OH press 160x5x5...not too bad
Power cleans 210x5x3...easy...next week I'm going back to my deadlift twice a week schedule

Sat August 20th

Squats 285x3x5..strong
OH press..177.5x3...I failed I think because I can't be doing 5lb jumps on my presses every 2 weeks...just way too weight in 12months if LP stayed strong I'd be in the mind 200s...Tried to do 172.5 but only got 3 didn't rest much from last set so I know I'll get it my next press week..
Deadlift 380x1x5...did hook pulled it strong....not to sound like a pussy but I had to weight a few seconds after every rep because when I lowered the bar and blood rushed into my thumbs they hurt like a mother fucker..what I get for waiting till this weight to do it
Dips BW+55lbsx3x5
Pull ups bwx4,bwx4,bwx3

so besides the press which is because I'm greedy fucker all else went well...I think with the hook I'll be able to go back to pulling thrice a week....going to go to 2.5 lb jumps in my bench and press from now on, on intensity days 5lbs/monthx12...shit 60 lbs aint too shabby for a year of work be at almost 300 lb bench low 200 press (if this even lasts I remember reading starr's article on it says the majority of population will never even press their BW) I am doing two rounds of RFL in October...hoping to cut down to like 195-200 from my current 220-225...so I could see the BW press happening

Edit: oh forgot, since this is sort of a blog and its gym related i'll mention it; the gym owner yelled at me today for someone else spilling chalk and not having the decency to tell him...as if I knew or had anything to do with it, then goes on to say he doesn't want any chalk...I'm joining new gym anyway so fuck him...all in all I thought it was funny

[erk]

cough cough might have been me lol kyles fault though but i did tell them about it idk wut hes talkin about the girl that works there helped me clean it up so idk wut his problem is, he did'nt tell me i couldent use chalk anymore though, actually speaking of which, the girl there made sure it was cleaned most of the way up mike wasent even there so i dont kno how he expected me to tell him about it, i told the only other person that was working there about it so... fuck it

edit: thinkin about it that pisses me off bc he gave me an attitude about it too even though it was me i did the best i could with it shit happens

[MattJ.D.]

Well thats some shit...he's a faggot..Joe just told me that GCC has a free gym I can use just have to show ID and its brand spankin new so im going there from now on
