No Mo' Lazy Fragged Log

[fragged]

Well, I missed training all last week so I thought I better start a log here before I turn back into a lazy ass. This is my second time with the program, first petered off when it got “hard” (185… not hard) due to crap form, and a serious lack of resolve. That won’t happen this time.

Notable issues for issues sake are some minor bursitis on 8/3 then 8/5 that I saw the PCP for. Told me to deload 50% on any presses but increase volume and full ROM, which I thought was worth following based on the typical recommendations those guys seem to give, so I did – no issues since then and shoulders feel great. Saw the doc on 8/11, started back up then. On 8/11 we experienced Ark worthy rain, which caused me to quit at my 3rd squat workset after the flood in the garage got past the boots I put on when it started – for anyone wondering, training in 4 inches of water is stupid and dangerous, boots or no boots.

Last week I skipped all week, I have really dumb excuses, hence the log. Here they go:
- Monday I felt “really tired”; aka I was lazy
- Wednesday I was out of town for work, this one is decent, but I could have tried MUCH harder to find a gym there…
- Friday I got up early, as I knew I would not have time later. Then I farted around long enough to “not have enough time for that”; aka I was lazy.

So that’s out of the way, Meat and potato time.

Welcome back. As you understood training in water around electricity is not a good idea. This looks like good progress. Keep it up.

Thanks! Electricity was one issue, the buoyancy of water-proof boots and lack of grip to the floor was the other. Even with my weight and the work weight, it just felt bad...and dumb.

Color? Width? Prong #? Come on man, don't leave us hanging like that!

Sorry, grilled meat was calling my name...

Got the Athlete, 4" 2 prong in black.

Very good quality, but I think I'd go single prong if I did it again. It's so thick there is zero need for two.

I can't wait to see the string of PR's you're gonna put up as you get used to squatting in it!

9/19

Squat: 215
Press: 85
PC: 115

Figured out today that my cheap bar that came with my weights is bent, but I was waiting for that. Apparently it isn't rated for cleans.

Looks like I'm buying a bar as a b'day present.

Edit so I don't leave anyone hanging: Ordered up a Cap OB-86B. Also got a set of shoes, Romaleos 2 black and red.

31 years old today.

Squat: 220
Bench: 120
Deadlift: 275

The 275 deadlift felt freaking great, went shoeless and added the belt today. Lately on the squats I get some heavy fatigue(drowsy mentally, not physical) after the first work set. Pretty much gone after the second... weird.
