Beginning Thoughts:

I finished Lost Season 3 today....finally. I've finished the first 3 seasons of Lost in like 2 weeks and it's been an overdose. I'm beginning to have dreams of being stranded on an island.

Workout:

Pistol Squats:
5 + 5 + 13 = 23 reps
I was going to do just 3 sets of 5 reps but I wanted to go all out on my final set. I can't believe I cranked out 13 reps!

Pull-ups:
BW x 5 reps x 2 sets
BW x 10 reps
Keeping it really light and easy today.

Hanging Air Kicks:
BW x 14 reps x 3 sets

Bar Rollouts:
BW x 10 reps x 3 sets

Videos:

Pistol Squats and last set of Pull-ups:

YouTube

Overall Impression:

I am flying to San Antonio tomorrow night. It's gonna be a painful 36 hour flight in all. I won't be working on till Wednesday or Thursday. I have to move into my room, etc.

I hope everyone's had a good weekend. I'm looking forward to next semester. Senior Year is gonna be fun

Thanks for reading!

Anuj, I have to say I love the pistol squats. I only started doing them because of this journal... they're hard as shit lol!!

They really are very difficult. I can't tell you how many times I've lost my balance and rolled backwards while doing them....the biggest challenge for me was trying not to shift my bodyweight onto my knees. If I do that, it hurts my quads while coming out of the hole and unless I take like 10 minute break, my workout is done. The pain is unbearable.

Good luck progressing on Pistol Squats, Cradler. If you need any help, hit me up.

Thanks man, I definitely will!

Beginning Thoughts:

So I have finally moved back in. Senior Year has started.

My diet has been really crappy over the last few days.

When I hit the gym last night I had zero motivation or energy. Thats how beat I was. So, given that, it was a decent workout. I think that sipping my Malto/Whey drink during my workout really helped keep my buoyant.

Workout:

Deadlifts:
385 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
I vomited after my second set. This really sucks....I think I could've done 3 full sets. Well, this gives me a goal to work towards next week.

Hanging Air Kicks:
BW x 14 reps x 3 sets

Wrist Roller:
25 lbs x 1 trip x 2 sets
Half-assed this...

Deadlifts:

Overall Impression:

Short and simple.

heavy pulls for sets of six... i would puke too ahaha. form looks great... do you always alternate grips from rep to rep like that? i should probably try that, lol.

I recently started alternating my grip. I got into the bad habit of only using one grip and Eric pushed me to using both types now. During my warm-ups I only use an over-over or a hook grip. The hook grip lasts till 315. After that, I switch over to over/under and then with the over/under I alternate left/right hands with that per rep.

Thanks for dropping by

Went in early today go train. I hate training in the morning.

I'm still weak at this lift. I dunno if anyone else experiences this, but this exercise really hurts my wrists.

Dumbbell Rows:
90 lbs x 8 reps x 3 sets

Push-ups:
Red x 15 reps

Nothing worth putting up.

Overall Impression:

Decent session. Should've taken longer rest periods at times.

Beginning Thoughts:

I was teaching my gf Overhead Squats and Deadlifts today...so workout was kinda meh.

Workout:

Front Squats:
225 lbs x 3 reps
255 lbs x 3 reps
275 lbs x 1 rep x 2 sets
Decent stuff....

Cable Wood Chops:

Videos:

Nothing special..

Overall Impression:

Taught my gf how to Overhead Squat with the lat pull down bar (I needed something lighter than the regular barbell). She also Deadlifted 105 lbs weighing 105 lbs...Great form too.

Tomorrow is Pistol Squat Day. My second favorite workout day of the week!

Have a good Monday, everyone and thanks for reading!

thats a nice front squat man. is that a pr?

i was wondering, how do you program with pistol squats? do you use them as a main exercise, do you have certain goals in terms of reps/sets? i've been working with them at the end of my heavy work just to try and improve gradually... but its hard to do them after heavy pulls and zercher squats, haha.

thanks anuj!
