Thanks, IW. I am sure this skin will heal soon. I need it to be working for tomorrow's pull-ups otherwise it's gonna be a royal pain in the ass.

Beginning Thoughts:

India's budget is being released on Monday so frantic activity in the stock market today. Good news is that homosexuality is finally legal in India. About time is what I think! Live and let live. But then again...this is not supposed to be a religious log so I'll leave my political thoughts at the door.

Overall Impression:

I am gonna go see Ice Age 3 tomorrow. I've been watching a huge amount of movies over the last few days. I saw T4 and I liked it contrary to most people because all I went in expecting was entertainment. I saw X-Men again and I loved it. I also saw on DVD Frost/Nixon and I think it was awesome. I made the mistake of seeing John Cena's 12 Rounds which was really retarded. I am going to start Heroes Season 2 this weekend. Lots of catching up to do hahahha!

I hope everyone has a good weekend. Happy 4th of July to you Americans

Overall Impression:

I was going to see Ice Age 3 tonight but it's monsoon here in India and it's been raining for 9 hours straight and everything is flooded. So I went ahead and watched a god awful movie called "The Unborn" and I hated it. But, I did watch Heroes Season 2 (just starting it right now actually) and I am looking forward to some fun

I hope everyone has a good weekend! Thanks for reading as always.

Beginning Thoughts:

I just could not focus going into the workout...

Workout:

Banded Deadlifts w/ Red Bands:
135 lbs x 2 reps x 4 sets
145 lbs x 2 reps x 2 sets
155 lbs x 1 rep x 1 set
I was so out of it...I am glad I took those biscuits with me to the gym...I bet they helped me in my endeavors to concentrate on the task at hand!

Deadlifts:
365 lbs x 3 reps
405 lbs x 2 reps
405 lbs x FAIL
Decent stuff. The second set of 405 just failed. It was weird because I was all ready to do it and then my torn callus sort of "numbed" my entire left arm....I couldn't feel or do shit with it. Plus, I got a nasty cramp on my hamstring.

Pistol Squats:
3 + 4 + 4 = 11 reps
I did these in my socks only...I wanted to see if I was over-dependent on the shoes. Guess not. I was dead tired from Deadlifting so bear with my clumsiness in the video.

Suitcase Deadlifts:
115 lbs x 6 reps
135 lbs x 3 reps
I tore a callus on my left hand while deadlifting 365 and I could not hold the bar so I wussed out.

Plate Pinches:
25 lbs x 30 seconds
25 lbs x 35 seconds
25 lbs x 20 seconds

Swiss Ball Jack Pikes:
BW x 8 reps x 3 sets

Holy hell man, 185lb OH squat. That is just pure awesome.

*Great* work.

Oh please.....I should replace all my squat movements with curl movements. Apparently they are better for my motor pathways.
