Alright now. Today was chest/tri day. My goal for my bench strength was an even 300. The results:

I am 2 for 2! I put up 300! I tried to get 315 after that. to match my PR, but I needed a small spot to get it up. So, I left my lift at 300. Goal surpassed.

Like I said, that' 2 for 2. Both my military press and bench press goals have been obtained. I'm psyched as hell for my deadlift tomorrow. I had previously outdone myself about a month ago, and shattered my deadlift goal by I think 30 pounds. So, tomorrow is just going to see if I can outlift myself. Wish me luck.

gman, Monday, my warmups were:
135 for 5
155 for 3
175 for 3
195 for 1
205 for 1
225 for 1
230.

I also kept lifting. I followed my max with 2 PR sets of seated db military presses with 80s.

Which reminds me, today, after my chest workout, it was time to move on to tris, where I was doing dips for 3 sets. I got 8, 7, and 7 reps out, with a 100 lb dumbbell attached. That's right. New PR.

Alrighty. About 10 weeks ago, I could military press 185 for one. Tonight, I shattered my goal of 200 with a 230 press for a 1RM. That also is a new PR. I am damn happy.

Holy frickin' mackrel!

That's awesome. You're getting into some nice iron there!

Ha. Thanks a lot man.

Let me clarify something real quick. 185 was not my record. I had done 210 before. That was when I was about 183 lbs. I cut down a little bit to around 170 right now. Right after I cut is when I did 185. But, whatever, still a PR.

And 365 is my current dead record. I'm hoping to get at least 375. With any luck, I might jump up to 385.

MOTHERFUCKER

Well, today was my deadlift attempt day. I wanted to get at least 375 (my previous PR was 365).

Everything went up with ease ...

135 for 5
225 for 3
275 for 2
315 for 1
375 for 1. NEW PR!!! BUT .... I injured my fucking back. It hurts so fucking much right now. I just want to break something. I want to go in my room and put a hole through the goddamned wall. I am so pissed off right now. And the thing is, I knew I could have prevented this. I fucking let it go to my head. The weight went up so easily ... and just as soon as it went up, my back got fucked up. Lesson to you all. Don't lift with your ego. I am so pissed. I KNEW i could have pulled 405 today too. GODDAMMIT!!!

Who's got some good rehab tips?

Active recovery and rest Sad but true. Let the memory of reason remain.

Come back stronger You will.
