Deadlifting my way to Happiness - Al420's log

[FFQuads]

Uh, when did Germany become part of Eastern Europe?

it's all some 3rd world dump....

.....back to the training part of the log - Germans feel free to bash my pathetic lift vs. BW ratios...lol

Todays workout:

Power Clean: 95x8, 95x5*, 135x8, 155x5, 175x1x6 - breathing singles - had to make sure I didn't drop it - more below...

Jump Shrug: 135x10, 225x8, 275x5x3 - felt a weird pinching sensation (just like the tailbone one which is gone for 3 squat workouts now) in my right trap area...I say area b/c my traps are massive...lol. All in all I pussed out.

Skuls: 80x10x4

Few other Tricep exercises....

* So on my 2nd warmup set I lost focus and missed the catch - it was loud as hell - this is a commercial gym w/ steel plates - and I was Ipod'ed up so if I heard it... For a sec a thought "oh my shoulder must be...a vagina" fuck that - picked it up and finished 2 reps...went and lathered up w/ chalk and started adding weight. Tony's power cleans have me motivated. I will be pussing this lift. Goal by march is 225 - should be able to smash it.

Al gone done made a new friend. You 2 make a cute couple

on the jumpshrugs, (or powershrugs).. I really fucked my SI joint doing them and it took a week for the swelling to go down.

Yesterdays workout:

Back Squat: 135x10, 185x5, 225x5, 275x5, 315x5, 335x1 - WTF

Leg Press: 8 plates x20, 10 plates x20

Leg Ext: stack x8, stack x8, stack x7

SLDL: 135x10, 225x8, 225x7

Lying Curl: 110x10x3

Left hip flexor is toast today. My legs were still tight yesterday so I did some leg press to warm up which felt good. Warm up is really important for me - I can't be rushed.

335 was supposed to be x5. It felt like it was 100lbs heavier than 315.

Don't worry about bad day. We all have them. I thought I was just hung over yesterday but it turns out that I'm sick. SUCKs!!! I'm shitin' and pukin' at the same time!! Good times...

I'm going to go against the grain and repeat what I said on the last page: I think that this (and your past few back squat workouts) can't be dismissed as an off day and that you need to change some parameter of what you're doing on squats, whether that means different reps, higher/lower volume, or some combination of them.

Good point!

Al420 - Why not start some sort of 20 rep. workout for a few weeks. It might be fun to do at the same time. We can puke in the gym together next time.

What might I try? I totally agree. My left groin is out of wack, my left lumbar is out of wack...need to spend some money post Xmas on myself via some deep tissue work.
