Fuck! 352lbs nice!!!! That's a huge PR man congrats!

Did you use a belt?

Dammit you've squatted more than I have raw now!!!(I failed 160kg in like March or something) That's it! I'm squatting 162.5kg this Sunday!!!!

Also I don't know what your thing with doing "something" is all about, I reckon doing nothing is just as good as lifting pink dumbbells : why not do "something good"?

good squat!

don't sweat it about missing a few training days. I missed a week when i went to boston, but came back, and started hitting it hard again, and haven't really lost a step (the first few workouts back were a bit rough, but that's usually the way it is). It was a good mental break for me, and i suspect it will be for you as well.

I know a girl who just came back from NO for a week building houses. She said she spend around 8hrs a day w/ drywall and stuff in a hot building. Drink lots of water!

Thanks guys.

I was wearing a belt.

also, to Simon: HA! suckah! hehe

I'm not too worried about the work. I plan on picking up a case of water when we get there, and food like I said, so I should be fine.
I'm being told not to go without bringing a mask though. Like, a painter's mask or something, because of all the mold. Did your friend say anything about that?

I won't post my training the last two days because I don't have my book near me and because I don't feel like it.

I benched 202x3, failed 220 twice because I couldn't control the bar (forearm/elbow problems). Pulled 405 today with ugly form, but at least I got it with the new set up.
Those are the highlights.


Eight hours and I'm gone!
See you suckers later

Because of insufficient funding (I'm broke) I won't be going to the competition in Ottawa.

I'll keep training as if I were going, and I'll lift on the 19 in my own gym as if it were a comp. Just to test my numbers I guess.

There's another comp in London (about 2 hours from here) on September 13. My sister lives in London, so this comp is affordable. I'll talk to Trevor and see if I can be ready for that day.

dude, that sucks about the comp. how much money do you need (PM me if you want) maybe we can get a few people together to pitch in. If its just a money issue it wouldnt take much for a few of us to help you out.

Thanks guys.
The deadline to sign up was July 1, so I missed it. I wouldn't be able to take money from you guys anyway, though I do appreciate the offer. Thanks Frankie.

I haven't been in here in a long time...shame on me. Your numbers are looking sweet though. Sucks about the comp, but you'll get one. Just keep working hard dude! Hope your summer is going good.

I got a job yesterday at Moxies. I'm a dishwasher.
It pays 9.50/hour, but I'm told that with the tip pool, it becomes something like 11.50/hour.

All the waitresses/hostesses wear little black dresses.

I don't see a downside.

July 7 - deadlift

deadlift
374 x 2
385 x F x a thousand
363 x F - because I tried 385 so many times I think.
308x6
220x5x2 - for speed + to relieve a little anger



I only got 374x1 last week (I think) so x2 is a [lame] PR.
I couldn't move 385, which pisses me off. By the way 374 felt, I should have been able to get 385x2. Not really sure what's going on.

sounds like some sort of mental block to me... but If your getting stuck off the ground, just bring your squat up and pull will follow quickly.

work in different ranges than 1, 2s and 3s.

start doing more stiff legged deadlifts and/or good mornings.

start knowing that you can do a lift rather than thinking you can.

Thanks guys.

I'm going to see Trevor soon, and see about writing up another program. A longer one this time.
I might push my first competition back to next summer, like I had originally planned on doing.
