Done so far:
- 2 bedrooms painted - all window/door frames + doors painted white - old cabinets out - moved range vent hole - new cabinets in - drawers/doors put on - handles on - countertops done - new dishwasher in - new sink + faucet in and plumbed with new drain Left to do: - paint laundry room/dining room/ front entrance - put toe kicks on cabinets - remove carpet from front entrance/closet and the big ones: - tile laundry room/kitchen/dining room/ front entrance + closet - paint living room and finally: baseboards And then clean the shit out of this place. So much DUST! On a sweet note: I bought a 2003 Honda CBR 600 RR. Its in awesome shape and is soooooo fast. :biglaugh: I still have my dad's '74 CB 750 and will be hanging on to it for obvious sentimental value. IronWorker |

Lol if I wasn't living in here it would be fun but when you have to deal with all the dust/noise/mess 24/7 it gets old pretty quick.
Thanks for stoppin in guys, IronWorker |

I ate a bit too much before this workout and my stomach was all knotted up. I still managed to have decent energy though. Squats - bar x 5 - 135lbs x 5 - 195lbs x 3 - 215lbs x 1 - 240lbs 3x3 The last rep was a grinder but I made it. It was mostly because on the 2nd rep of the last set I didn't control my decent enough and I ended up way too far forward and that makes squatting WAY harder. lol I dug deep and drove it home though. Sweet. 245lbs was where I was stuck at last time so I'm hoping to be able to hit that. We'll see. Bench - bar x 6 -135lbs x 4 -175lbs x 2 -195lbs x 1 -215lbs 3x3 Also a slow grinder of a last rep but complete none-the-less. BB P.Rows -bar x 6 -30kg x 5 -40kg x 4 -50kg x 3 -57.5kg 4x8 We did these again today because we wanted to keep MP on a DL day because its gotten too heavy to have it on a bench day. Dips bw x 5 bw + 10lbs x 10 bw + 20lbs x 10 bw + 35lbs x 8 Pretty good for a bench day. Pull-Ups bw x 5,5,4,3 Pull ups always suck on row day but it went better then I thought. I was so F*in burnt out by this point. So hot in that gym. Thougths Well my energy level was pretty good until pull ups. This is why I'm lookin forward to starting a new program with only 4 exercises per workout. I think I'll be able to stay much more focused/intense. My next couple workouts are going to be big days. DL: 145kg 3x3 (this will be a 5kg PR if I make it) Press: 130lbs 3x3 (old max is 140lbs) Squat: 245lbs 3x3 (this will be 5lb PR as well) Bench: 220lbs 3x3 (another 5lb PR attempt) Soooo... I'm pretty nervous/excited to see what happens. I guess I should get to bed and rest up to prepare and start eating like a fiend. IronWorker |
Good luck for the upcoming weeks IW, those pullups are sure tough after a heavy squat and bench day.Training on a bloat can be hard too, but an extra inch or so on the waist can help your lifts tho so who knows. :)

yeah good luck coming up man :)

Thanks Boyz!

Weight: 179.5lbs Up .5lbs according to last time. Deads -60kg x 5 -80kg x 3 -110kg x 1 -130kg x 1 -145kg 2x3, 1x2 (3x3 attempt) Well I didn't make the 5kg PR like I'd hoped on this. I was really mad at the gym because for some reason I thought 145kg 3x3 was my last PR so I thought I had gotten worse. Now that I look though it is an improvement just not exactly how I wanted it. Oh wells. Front Squats bar x 5 115lbs x 5 135lbs x 5 155lbs x 5 No mirror today. That kinda felt awkward. Standing BB Military Press - bar x 5 - 75lbs x 3 - 95lbs x 2 - 115lbs x 1 - 135lbs x 1 - 145lbs x 1 (5lb PR) - 135lbs x 2 - 135lbs x 1 Well the plan was 130lbs 3x3 but I couldn't find any 2.5lb plates in the whole damn gym. WTF So I just decided to max out. Made a bit of PR so thats good. Judging by the weights, I probably could have made 130lbs 3x3...or close anyways. I'm really stoked to start hitting MP way harder in the up and coming WS program. Hanging Leg Raises bw x 10,6,5 Well I've started doing these properly now. I found out I was swinging my legs back at the bottom and using the momentum to get more reps. So, now I'm slowly bringing them down to a stop where they are straight down and then brining them up again from there. Pallof Press - Variation (more like a wood chop?) 40lbs 2x5 50lbs x 5 Thougths So I was pretty mad while I was at the gym today but looking back, I made some PRs and I guess that is really all I should expect. I just get some things in my head sometimes and get down on myself. Also, *really* stoked about starting a WS style program. I think it will be sweet! I need a change! IronWorker |

Squats - bar x 5 - 135lbs x 5 - 185lbs x 3 - 205lbs x 1 - 245lbs x 3 I stopped after the first set because my back was still too sore from deads. Damnit. My energy was great and power felt good but I didnt' want to hurt myself. Bench - bar x 6 -135lbs x 4 -185lbs x 2 -205lbs x 1 -220lbs 2x3 The last set just wouldn't go. So mad. BB P.Rows skipped these cause they hurt the back too Pull-Ups bw x 5,5,4,3 Dips skipped Thougths One of the most frustrating days I've had in a long time. I went in feeling great and came out feeling like shit and frustrated. Bah. IronWorker |
