Tblock you have to be exaggerating or you are managing your time wrong. Sleep is definitely important.

^^^ FIND a way to get sleep! Then you dont have to worry about all the bullshit about meals and trying to make up for it. You grow in your sleep. In bootcamp you get 8 hrs of sleep and trust me youre doing shit ALL fuckin day lol

Yeah but bootcamp is not what I'm worried about. I'm worried about RIP (ranger indoctrination program) where you get 4 hours of sleep a night if you are lucky. But yeah if i decide to enlist I'm just going to completely fuck school and not do any homework, my neighbor that went rangers had a 1.7 gpa That way I will get plenty of sleep

workout today:

Squat
Skipped :tired

Comments: I'm embarrassed to admit that the reason I didn't get the deadlift set was that the grip in my left hand gave out I forgot chalk, which I normally don't use but was going to bring it with me today, and by the third rep my whole left side was way low. The set was actually pretty easy, I feel like 5 wouldn't have been a problem at all if my grip hadn't given out. I would have used straps to just get through it but I still don't find them useful on deadlifts (other than 1 handed ones) because I just feel so much more comfortable with my own hands unequipped gripping the bar. The reason my grip was slipping was because the bar was super sweaty from my hands being super sweaty. Next time bring chalk...

Thanks dude! (at least for the 1st part lol) Yeah I am pretty sure I could pull 405 for a double right now, as long as I had better grip stuff. According to the 1rm calculators I could pull anywhere from 420-430 for 1 rep right now. The problem is that I can only load the bar to 375 at my gym, but I am a member at my climbign gym and I THINK they have a weightroom with lots of 45's (lots meaning enough to got over 400 lol)

One funny thing from yesterday's workout was there was 2 hispanics in the weight room with me, and the women was asking the man in Spanish how much I was lifting. I don't much spanish but I knew enough to know what they were saying. The guy was saying, "trescientos y cuarenta, cincuenta, sesenta", and then he came up with a final count of trescientos setenta(370). I just thought it was funny lol

As for my 1 handed deadlifts taking over your 2 handed ones, it'll happen don't you worry lol

EDIT: One more thing, I just found an old video of me squatting 185x5, when I thought I was squatting parallel, and I was WAY above parallel lol!

 

[JDid23]

hahaha. You ever use chalk?

hahaha. You ever use chalk?

I used it a little last deadlift session, but other than that only for rock climbing.

Saturday 3/6/10

Run 2 miles 13:40-------------------------difficulty: 6

Started the first 2 laps thinking I would run an easy 15:00 minute 2 mile, but when I ran the first 2 laps at a 7 minute mile pace and I was barely breathing and super easy, I decided to step it up. The first mile came in at 6:52 and it was super easy, the only reason it was a 6 on difficulty is because I ran a 6 minute mile pace on the last lap. This was literally 10 times easier than the last time I ran a 13:48 2 mile, the 10 hours of sleep helped SO much

Comments:
Decided to save the accessory work for later, I talked a lot today and this workout took 1 hour and a half, I hate low intensity workouts, I swear to God they drain me of energy way more than high intensity workouts. Squats went great. Bench was bad, rows were great as usual. I literally finally found out the problem this while time with my squatting, and it's ridiculously simple lol. When I squat I just concentrate on going down and going up, I never tighten my whole body. Today I put my arms way closer in and tightened my whole body like I do on deads, and this sets was SO much easier. I could have gotten 5 easy but wanted to keep to the routine. YES I'm so happy about this lol

i don't understand how benching was bad bro.
Btw i also narrowed my grip for squats and i also noticed it helps to keep your body a lot tighter. Increasing the weight on the bar should be a lot easier now for you- keep going ATG!
