squat - January 5

285x2
285x1

RDL
305x4x3
shrugs

Wasn't really feeling the squats today.
I met a guy there who used to be a powerlifter. His best lifts were 700, 605, 600, squat/bench/deadlift.
We were sharing a rack. He told me I need to improve my back strength, and really focus on driving my head up and starting the lift by pushing my back into the bar instead of pushing up with my legs. He said my ass lifts before I do lol.
Not coincidentally, this is the same thing you guys were telling me a while ago.
So I'll try and work on that stuff again.
I'm also going to bring goodmornings back into my training. I think that should clear up a few problems I'm having with my lifting.
No more lifting until after the appointment on tuesday.

press - January 8
overhead press
145x3,2,2
135x3
bentover row
185x6x4
bs push up
+45x5,6,5
NG pull down
175x6x3
side raises
35x8x2
db curl - not alternated
35x8x3
elbows out ext.
35x8x2
During the neutral grip pulldowns, I got a feeling like my upper abs were caving in. It was weird. If I just curled in a little bit (I don't think I actually physically curled in, it just felt like I did) the feeling went away.
I had to stop a couple sets early because that feeling scared the crap out of me.
Went to the doctor today. He said it's probably just a normal response to the weightlifting I did the day before. A normal number, for this enzyme, is ~200. Mine was 1400. He said he's seen it get up to 20,000, after someone ran a half marathon.
Thought that was pretty interesting.

Rush fans defy coolness. There really isn't a word that does justice to the level we are at. Think "coolness" times infinity times 4.234521. Only Chuck Norris can count that high. |

There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
Are you trying to get yourself off that list, alco? |

Chuck Norris killed alco a long time ago. This is Nancy. Nancy McNancerton.
I was doing form work. I posted earlier about how I need to work on starting the squat by forcing my back into the bar, instead of just pushing with my legs and almost goodmorning ing the weight up. Form work should be done first, when you're fresh.
Besides I hit PRs on the pulls from the floor and the pulls from the rack. So as far as you know, squatting before you pull actually makes you stronger.
This post is Chuck Norris approved.

i wouldn't know if you hit prs or not because you're a giant mangina, and you never post your workouts. |

I've been posting again since December 28, just FYI. Not sure if you noticed 
I'll start writing my PRs in bold lettering, just for you buddy.
If you want I can even bust out my paint program, and draw you some nice pictures too. Then you can print the pictures, and colour them in. Make sure you don't go outside the lines!
haha. Sorry Zach, I had to.
