My hip's feeling better thanks to lisa and bill. I'm still going to continue to do a lot of hip mobility, and glute activation, as well as unilateral stuff to keep my hips feeling good.
Title says it all. I want to get comfortable squatting, and to squat a lot per week. Squats are the king of all exercises, and i need to be good at them if i want to become better in any sort of strength sport.
Hopefully, as the next school semester starts, i'll get a group together to train at Chad's Strongman gym in kokomo (2 hrs away), and i'll make a weekly drive to go there. There's nothing like lifting w/ dedicated people. A guy from maurande's board said he may be interested, and a guy i know from ND who does some PLing said he'd be interested as well. So, if all pans through, i'll be pretty damn psyched about this.
So, i want to:
improve push press
improve squats (front AND back!)
improve deadlifts
i'll be working in the range of triples and doubles, and 5s, and heavy singles. I'm going to avoid going to failure. I've had good results avoiding failure lifts, and just lifting to heavy lifts.

Good to see your hips are getting better. Keep up with your hard work, it will all pay off soon enough.

How do you afford all this stuff working at starbucks? What are you making, 20 dollars an hour?

i work a lot, and live at home. the only thing i really have to pay for is my car payment 200.00 a month, occassionally food, and school,, but i'm getting a loan this semester b/c it's too hard to pay for school and car at the same time. Basically, i work a lot in the summer, and save.

Shoulders felt a tad sore and fatigued, so i cut out pressing, and just stuck to stability stuff. Things are feeling good, and i think my lack of dropoff on the reps=better conditioned.

Good job with the BS pushups, those are really coming along. What was awkward about the chains?

bitch! i'm getting stronger. Once the next semester starts for school, i plan on asking for friday or saturdays off work, and since i'll have no school, go up there weekly. Possibly train w/ 2 other guys+ whomever else is there.
What's your best squat? I need something to pwn.

i've done 275 before for a single. not much catching up to do.
Ya well, can you do 275 for a single right now?
My focus right now is getting my squat up to six plates. So.. race to 315?
ps. is it six plates, or three plates? I always say the number of plates I have on one side, so 315 would be three plates, but other people say the number of plates on the bar total...
pps. we still haven't finished our race to a 135 military press
