Here's my DF 5 x 5, modified

[blut wump]

Off the top of my head, I'm guessing that 'The Dukes of Hazzard", which I never watched, had a character called Daisy who was noted for her short shorts and shapely legs.

You are correct, sir. Imagine trying to squat in these:

And don't lie, we all know you have the complete series on DVD

 

[carlsuen]

fuck.. if u were to work out in that.. i'd puke seeing u squat.. haha!!!!

 

[nelmsjer]

I forgot my sweats so I had to wear a pair of shorts that I call my 'Daisy Dukes'. I swear they used to fit but they're kinda tight now. Anyway because of this I brought my stance in a bit more, narrower than shoulder width, and I feel they allowed me to really settle into the hole.

Jim, I'm going to have to respectfully ask that you never offer this visual to the fine members of EF ever again. Remember that many of us are constantly eating, even when we read the posts on EF. The negative impact to our appetite caused by your post is detrimental to the bulking goals of this community. Think before you post, please.

My gym shorts are around that relative size but in purple.

Ok, guys, back to the weights.

 

[Jim Ouini]

Truth be told, the shorts I'm talking about are the ones in my RDL vid a couple pages back, just normal shorts.

I just call them DD's since being somewhat venerable myself, I don't wear those billowy, below the shins shorts that the young 'uns are wearing nowadays. I told my wife that mine feel like Daisy Dukes compared to them.

Plus I bought them PM (Pre-Madcow) when I weighed about 175-180. So yeah, on occasion I do a 'self-melvin'

My gym shorts are around that relative size but in purple.

If they're that size I bet that's not the only thing that's purple

Week 3 Day 2

Box Squat
bar x 2 x 5
135 x 5
165 x 2
205 x 2
245 x 5 x 5

Kinda hard in a weird way. The weight didn't feel real heavy but my muscles felt weak

Dead
bar x 8 (RDL)
135 x 3
225 x 2
275 x 1
315 x 1
365 x 1
405 x 5 x 5

Hard, really hard. And my buddy worked in with me, the guy who sometimes stiff legs some of his deads, and his hammy popped trying to start his 4th set. I felt awful for him, the look on his face and he knew it was bad. Sucks. Anyway, I had to push on but I was feeling kinda down so sets 4 and 5 were hard both mentally and physically. In fact my last rep of set #5 my form was less than stellar.

Push Press
bar x 10
95 x 3
135 x 5 x 5

Not bad until set #5, started getting tired and I was absolutely knackered from my deads.

Chinups, shoulder width
25 x 5 x 5

Got 'em all surprisingly. I was contemplating skipping these because I was so tired and my elbow has been hurting all week so I'm amazed I pushed through.

Dips
80 x 3 x 8

Big jump from last week, pretty hard.

Overall: Happy I got my deads but I feel bad for my friend. Oh well, he's young so hopefully he has a speedy recovery.

Dude, no one can hang with you. You're gonna have a tough time finding a workout partner at this rate.

Seriously though, that sucks. Think he tore it?

 

[Jim Ouini]

I think so. He wasn't my workout partner per se, he just sometimes 'jumped in' when he saw me working out. Which is bad and I should've known better and suggested he back off a bit since his stiff legged form was starting to break down on his 3rd set.

Thing is the guy is stronger than me on everthing except deads (ugh) so I guess I just had a false sense of security.

 

[nelmsjer]

Very nice workout, Jim. You are moving a lot of weight on those deads. I still just sit here and shake my head...
