Really happy with how things are going. 15lbs off my probable contest weight. I used straps on deads, because it seems like when i use a mixed grip, it tugs on my side where i have the strain. I'm not about to injure myself again. Straps seems to not irritate it at all, so i guess i'll stick with straps on straight bars, and then just use reg grip for trap bar. Next week, i'm going to try and go for 345 for reps, or 365-375 for a double or something like that depending on how i'm feeling.

I don't see any barriers being broken down here... You gotta live up to your log title...

ha! Nice, Simon.
Zach, the elbow sleeves are good. It takes a bit of work to get them on, but I should be able to stretch them out a bit. They'll come in handy now, my elbow pain is starting to come back a bit. Thanks again man.

Feel really good.
I wasn't sure of myself on those first two sets. I wasn't confident with my leg drive. I could've gotten three reps on the first three sets, easy.
The last set I failed the second rep because the guy I was lifting with walked in the door as I was doing my dip (after the first rep) and just about to drive up. I got distracted and the bar fell out of the groove.
170 next week for sure.
What I find helps me to get good leg drive, is between sets, I'll do some vertical jumps as high as I can. Really focus on jumping as high as you can (don't worry about bringing your knees up) and that will get you in the right mindset during your push presses.

You got distracted by looking at a guy? sounds kinda gay... 
I get distracted by this hot hick with nice boobs who doesn't like to wear alot of clothing, you need one of those at your gym, to straighten you out!

It was the Trevor guy I was talking about earlier.
I wasn't distracted because I was looking at him, I was distracted because he walked through the door for the first time since I was in the weight room.
There aren't any girls in this weightroom. It's closed to everyone except the superawesome.

You have to be dubbed superawesome by me personally.
I haven't felt any girl at my school to be worthy of such a title yet.
Soon, though, because there's a couple girls joining the club

Not many chicks in IT, let alone decent looking ones...
You're doing software engineering right? something IT related anyway I remember, any hot chicks in your course?

Software development, ya.
No, no hot girls. There's a few cute ones, and one with big boobies that likes to show them off. But they're still.. below standards. As mean as that is.

Trevor invited me to lift with him again on Thursday. Cool.
But the problem is, I lift on wednesdays and fridays.
Wednesday is my squat day. If I move that to thursday, I'll have had four days between lower body sessions (saturday-thursday) and then I'll have to move my saturday session to sunday.
Or I could keep my wednesday session on wednesday and move my friday session to thursday, but then I'll only have two days between upper body sessions (monday-thursday) with a lower body session in between.
Could I turn down the invitation, saying that I need to keep my schedule, and still have some kind of rapport with the guy?
He trains mondays and thursdays, so I'll see him every monday anyway. Should I change my whole schedule just so we're training on the same days?
No. This way, at least one of us will be in the weightroom on monday, wednesday, thursday, friday. So then if anyone else in the club trains those days, there will be one of us there to train with them.
Ok. I think I'll be alright if I just keep to my schedule, and train with him again next monday. Just keep in touch via email.

It's retarded that I have to talk that out, but this is new for me and I want to do things right.
