Came into the gym to deadlift today. After my warmup I got to 405 (which I did twice ) but it felt like 500. I called it quits . I was supposed to do 430x5 but I'm not going to hit it.

To many things come into play here.

1) my tail bone has been hurting since I woke up for some reason.
2) Night shift sucks , just can't get enough sleep 4 hrs today.
3) my diet has been mostly garbage ( sweets and junk food ) all week.
4) That squat I did on Sat took more out of me then I thought.

So I just went and did some cardio as I figure I better keep up with it . My weight is going up , but it's not the good weight!

I will be back in here on Friday for some military press , but next week it's my squat and dead that I need to pay attention to

it happens....get 'er next week :)

Rest up and come back full force next week.

I don't know how you work night shift. Yuck. 8am-5pm for me. lol

Another shorty workout. I did it but I sure didn't feel like being here. The lockouts , on the other hand where a nice change and I thunk I will be keeping these in as a regular exercise. It's nice to feel that weight on my back.

The lungs did kick my ass and I actually started to sweat, lol!

I assume you mean lunges and not lungs. lol

P.S. - Did you just add music to your squat vid? Good choice.

Yes and Yes...LOL.

However they do do a number on my lungs.

bench day: pushed this day back a bit because a few of us were able to get togther and do a shirted day. Last time I had my shirt on was back in June. Needless to say I'm about 15lbs heavier so the shirt was a bit snug! Which can be good in a way.

So at my last meet with this shirt I was able to touch and press 365, 385. This time I was about a 2 board away from touching 385 . At 405lbs I was less than 1 board away from touching . I should have been able to touch but my cardio is SO BAD that I had a hard time holding my breath for a whole rep-- That is bad!!!! I pressed the shit out of the 405 so once I touch it , it will be easy.

Then I tried an open back but didn't have any luck touching with this either. First I did 445 to about a 2 board then 465 to a one board. The pressing was easy , so I'm thinking with some more practice with the open back I will be using it at the next GPC event in June ( which is Nationals).

I also feel I need more practice with my single at my current weight it sure is different. And if I decide to go to Medicine Hat at the end of January the a 400 press shoul be do-able.

I'm really going to step up my cardio , since yesterday I've realize how bad it is. A good thin I got a punching bag for Xmas so it can be an every day thing !!
