good shit i.dub. and remember. dont weight your success against anybody elses. you are you and they are them. it may not even be genetics. you and him arent together 24/7 so it may not even be genetics. he can just be doing something you arent or whatever. just keep at it my man and you will progress.

when you try to catch up to other people, you somtimes tend to lose focus of the goal at hand. you will be aight

Wednesday July 2/2008

Well I was camping on the long weekend so my nutrition was shitty for 4 days.

Squats
- bar x 5
- 135lbs x 5
- 175lbs x 3
- 195lbs x 2
- 215lbs x 1
- 230lbs 3x5,1x1

Once again poor nutrition/rest coming into it blocked my way on this one. It was like hitting a brick wall on the 4th set. Very frustrated.

Bench
- bar x 6
-135lbs x 4
-165lbs x 2
-185lbs x 1
-205lbs 3x3

The 3x3 itself felt good. I tried one set after that and got shutdown hard. My energy level seemed to maintain for about 15mins per muscle group then it was hard downhill after that.

BB P.Rows
-bar x 6
-30kg x 5
-40kg x 3
-50kg 4x8

Well it was time to reset these so its back down to higher volume.

Hanging Leg Raises
bw 3x10

I think I'm going to try to go to 3x11 next then 3x12 etc.

Pallof Press
skipped

cable machines were all busy so we just left this one for today. Had some painting to get done tonight anyways.

Thougths

Well now I'm not sure if I should just give up on squatting 230 5x5 and switch down to 3x3. It seems like I should have that weight without too much trouble but it evades me every time. I guess in the end it shouldn't matter too much.

	MONSTAFACE's Sig:in sports my will alone will get me from point A to B no matter what. in weight lifting i must understand that from A there is no B. the goal is constant progression and anything i do to hinder the continious straight line is counter productive. My will must be humbled and my humbleness must be willed yes......i just type and press enter, i dont proofread i did enough of that in college. you know what i meant when i typed it anyway www.myspace.com/monstaface
