    7/15

    Saftey Squat Bar to paralell box

    155x5
    245x5
    295x5
    335x5
    385x5
    335x5

    first time squatting in about a month, weight didn't feel too bad, but I forgot how painful the first squat session after a long layoff is.


    power clean

    275x1
    i didnt warm up and this was not on the menu, but it felt real easy, the only reason i did it was because one of the guys at the gym was cleaning and couldnt get it all the while talking smack with me and sam (all in fun tho) and i wanted to get the last laugh, but it was stupid and i cant do this again, this is the type of dickishness that I usually give people a hard time about.

    front squats

    205x5
    185x5
    185x5

    these felt really light, but thats the plan at this point.

    abs 3 sets of 10

    4 pack of peanut butter twix and two scoops of whey 1 set.

    Great to see you posting, buddy. Welcome back. I got one session left Saturday before my trip and may see you then.

    I hope you keep this log so we can watch you on your way up to that 800 (900?) raw bench.

    Beware those power cleans. That way lies madness.

    Eventually, the running joke around the gym is that I have a meet coming up in 2017 that I am preparing for, it will likely be before then, but probably at least a year from now.

    As for Mr. Gibson, I actually enjoy doing powercleans from time to time, lord knows I am no longer flexible enough to drop into a full squat fast enough to do full cleans effectively, but powercleans are a nice compromise. It has been about two years since I have done them on any consistant basis, and for the time being I plan on incorporating powercleans as part of my deadlift warm up so I can work on my clean a little without causing too much disruption to my training.

    Also I'll be in Saturday for a while so hopefully I'll see you

    did some light conventional pulls 275x5 3 sets

    abs 1 set of 15

    I have read Rip's article on ab training so in order to clarify my ab work in not so much for trunk stabilization as it is to develope my muscle gut, we have a weighted ab machine at the gym, and the way I look at it the more muscular my gut the more I shorten my bench stroke.
