[Ghede]

Wow... "hercules, hercules, HERCULES!" *claps like in Nutty Proffesor flick*

That's awesome! I've never tried the "leverage" shrugger "do-dad"

.... actually the gym I'm at right now doesn't have one anyway, lol, nevermind.

Bar Bendin' Shrugs are my favorite Haven't done those in a while, nursing the lower back still a bit.

You are a machine Big Guy... a M_A_C_H_I_N_E!

Ahhhhh... i smell a back day approaching, as one rounds the last columns of Basalt to gaze into the fiery maw of XXXXX, the rush of heat and brimstone like the hot kiss on the end of the cold fist of Arctic winter... Back day.... Back day.... the smell of it...

Hope you kick some @$$ on that back day

AHHHH... June... June 9th, 2006, actually. What better day to eat a waffle? What a day today...



WELLLLLLL THENNNNNN..... again:


Todays Abuse:

Resistance o' Rama:
Back attack, short n shweet, did calves and shrugs again... can never seem to get enough shrugs... hmmmmm:
Pull ups: three of 8. no mas. next time up reps? not sure what the mood is on pull ups...
Low rows, close Grip, 160 for 8, 240 for 8, Rack(250) + a 35lb plate for 8, 285. Will shoot for 300 next, nice round number.
One arm, plate loaded rows: 3plates/side for 8, 5plates for 8, 6 plates for 8.
Shrugs on standing seated, i know i know, shoulda done oly bar, but i was pretty pretzle headed by this point and just went for the usual out of shere autopilotitis: 8 plates for 8, 12 plates for 8, 14 plates 6... at this weight my mid T-verts start to feel uneasy... will start to rethink this too.

Standing Calf Raises: 350 for 8, 495 (rack) for 8, plus two plates for 8, plus three for 8, plus four for 8. couldnt figure out how to get more than 675lbs on the fecker... hmmmph.

TODAYS FOOD:

about 3k today, a little less. Protein was a bit too high, i can tell by my breath of all things, and must get some more water down, the water on the way out is not as clear as i like....

Because I think some things are worth repeating and you seem to understand me while others try to tell me who I am & what I want ...

"With honesty and dedication I make my own luck; I shall not want."

"As I walk through the valley of the impossible measure,
I shall fear no evil: i have a friend with floppy ears."

Ok, so... i dont have a decent reason: decided to do shoulders again. yep. just didnt quite have that 'just sodomized' feeling that is required for a post workout sigh this morning... at least not for the delts part... and then it hit me...


June 7, '06 is a great day for a Shrugs personal best. SO....

630lbs for 5 honest and there was much rejoicing amongst the Hill People.

OK G -- A week ago I did my PR on SMITH shrugs (geigh, but O well -- my lower back don't do so well w/ the free bar these days) w/ 2 plates (45 x 4 + bar = 220) for 3 sets of 10 and I think I pullled my shouders out of the sockets. I went straight to the chiro to get my scapula pushed back into place , took 3 days for that to settle back while sitting at the compueter w/ bags of frozen collard greens on my shoulders to reduce the swelling, then an hour w/ the LMT to tweak all the muscles so the ol' scap stays where they pushed it and then spent another 3 days out of the gym to give the whole infrastructure a rest.

So now I read 7 freekin plates and I can feel my rotators starting to swell again.

Thx.



<=== this smily is truly you today --struttin w/ the shades & the hat!

Hey Sassahottie, the goofie part is i woulda gone for 16 plates total, but i couldnt get the 8th ones to stay on!

The calf thing was a kinda freaky, i was a bit worried about my achiles snapping and thwanking me in the back of the head... but all is good, calves not even sore....


Buns: you move us all to 'lift the lid' and see the light. Truly.

Hmmmmm... June 12th, 2006, actually. What better day to eat crabcakes?



WELLLLLLL THENNNNNN..... The Movie:


Todays Abuse:
So, when your feeling down and out, and you walk out onto the gym floor not sure what to train, whatdya train?


Well, there can be only one choice i suppose....


Resistance o' Rama:
M-M-M-M-Monster Legs:
Started with inverted pikes, they will be out on DVD soon... three sets 8,6,5, last couple had no roll up, just toes to the bar. E-Gads those are feckin hard. Sassy: did you go for those? do tell!
Below sea-level cable crunches. 3 of 8 with 150, 175, 185

ATF Squats, 135 for 12, 225 for 10, 315 for 8
45 degree press: 360 for 8, 540 for 8, 720 for 6, 810 for 4. I hurt now. I will hurt more later, but it was the most weight I have moved in a very, VERY long time.
SLDeads: 95 for 8, 135 for 8 and POW! Ham cramp. Not smart. Should have skipped these entirely. Dumb, Ghede, Dumb.
Calves: standings topped out at 630, followed by a full flight of ten-rep stair climbers. Love/hate.

TODAYS FOOD:

Salmon filet with curried cauliflower, roast garlic marinade and barley and brown rice.

Albacore Steak with brocoli, snap peas, baby greens

Two Crabcakes, broc, cauli, snaps, wild rice and soy nuts.
