pretty normal

Thanks guys. I know I will blow away that total next time, but I was just disappointed that it doesn't really represent my best at this point. spatts, been doing a decent job on diet, except for not getting enough cals in. good call though I will get back on a multivit.

Fury finally arrived (15 weeks delivery time in case anybody is wondering, but they did send free wrist wraps). The first workout attempted with it remind me a lot of spatts' troubles initially. Took about a half hour to get the sleeves over my elbows the first time getting it on -- but it is...

I did my first meet on March 8. It was an unofficial meet at my gym -- judged by USAPL and NASA judges so those were the rules used. I competed completely raw at a bodyweight of 153 (I'm wasting awway; down from 165-170 over christmas break). Squat 285 - MISS 285 - MISS 285 Bench 255 275 -...

Feb 6 -- ME BENCH -- RAW FLAT BENCH FOLLOWED BY 6BOARD PRESSES Feb 7 -- GRIP WORK Sorry about another late update. Looks like this semester is pretty much scrapped for any progress at PLing. My lifestyle just can't support it at this time. I'm still going to compete and lift -- but for now...

Feb 1 -- SPEED BENCH + GRIP WORK. Bench sucked, but I closed the COC #1 for two reps in my right. Feb 5 -- ME SQUAT. Heavy Box Squats at 13.5". Sorry I haven't updated in so long. I have 23 hours of class this semester and between that and homework, I am losing sleep, and missing workouts. It...

I ordered a FURY 7 weeks ago and it sstill hasn't arrived. So I wouldn't count on it for march, or april either. But when I did order it, I got a competition fit, gave them flexed arm + 1" (partly for growth issues, and partly for reading accounts of people not being able to get the sleeves...

yeah I agree about the heavy shirt work (even though I dont even have a shirt). But the volume of those workouts you were posting was just looked staggering. Looked like 2-3 hr workouts of all heavy work.

THURS JAN 30 DE SQUAT SPEED SQUAT + CHAINS (14.5") 9 x 2 @ 165 NARROW GMS + CHAINS 225 x 3, 255 x 3, 225 x 3, 295 x 3 GHC RAISE 3 x 9 STANDING ABS 3 x 10 @ 80 BENT OVER ROWS 2 x 8 @ 195 HAMMER CURLS 2 x 10 @ 40s Good speed on a couple sets, decent on other sets. I was very tired today...

Sounds frustrating Animalmass -- you're going from one injury to the next. You definnitely got me excited (and a lot of other people too) with your MM article and then initial success with the workout -- but that intensity level/volume is something you have to advance slowly to -- as you...

Yeah I've been told nyquil or benadryl. But they are cold medicine? Has anybody tried OTC stuff that is specifically for sleep?

having trouble sleeping lately. What OTC sleep aids are there that doesn't have an effect on you training the next day? Or what do you take the night before a competition for exapmle?

lower back destroyed from zercher deads. I did not know my spinal erectors reached all th way up to my shoulder blades until today.
