Last day at that fag gym, now if I can get out the F'n contract, wtf, I moved like 30 minutes away and I still can't get out!

Good work.

make sure you ask about deadlifting and the use of chalk. If they say they don't allow it, walk away or convince them to let you use it.

The worst workout of all time!
Over the weekend, I had very little to eat, I just weighed in a 190, when on Friday of last week I was at 200. I also trully hate my new gym and most of the people in it, they are idiots and while I was doing my workout, they all stared at me like I was a dumbass. FML!

Bench
5x100
5x130
5x155
5x185

Row
5x85
5x105
5x130
5x150

It seems you weren't mentally in it today. Why is the new gym so bad? Don't worry about other people, just do your thing and get out.

If you felt good on Friday I would continue the program as is, just try and repeat todays workout next week.

I crushed my door in the garage door, I went to the doctor and its not broke, but its banged up pretty bad, i can't even touch it without a lot of pain, there is no way I'll be able to deadlift tomorrow and prob wont be able to do pullups, any suggestions, should I use to dead lift machine thing?

You mean you crushed your hand? Are there any broken bones or just bruising?

I would suggest taking the day or rest of the week off for your hand to heal. Aggravating it any farther by trying to lift could make the injury last longer and set back your training even farther.

Relax, you are the new guy there so it's normal if people stare, specially someone doing squats. And since it was your first day, that throws you off, it did to me when I was younger, wandering around clueless of where the stuff you is at, you know. Eventually u will get used to it.

Sorry about your hand and like eclipse said don't trash it even more let it heal up.

June 3, 2009 Workout

Sorry I didn't take yalls advice. But it worked out well, it was my middle and index finger that got smashed and my middle that was thought to be broke, its still hurts a lot, like i can't type with it because the nerves are messed up, but I got up my deads.

Squat
5x120
5x155
5x185
5x185 (these were unusually hard, my squats sucked monday and today these were rough, what's going on?)

Standing Barbell Press
5x70
5x85
5x100
5x115

Deadlift
5x185
5x225
5x275
5x330 (PR)

Pull ups
1x5
1x4
(had to rush out, didn't get the third set)

My deads gave me some good moral, as I hoped they would, always my fav workout, hopefully this can continue into friday, I'm going to do last fridays workout and hit it hard, if my squats don't improve I might not be able to even hit last weeks PR. WTF

 

[Hellawulf]

I got a little meat in me today, felt good, I graduate tomorrow morning, then I'll come home and do some cardio...

Ride high on that 330 x 5 deadlift. That's great work. Don't think too much about the squats. Don't let it get to your head. You can mentally screw yourself.

Tomorrow just go in and do the workout. If you don't hit PRs then you don't hit PRs. Regardless you deadlifted 330 x 5 this week.
