Grub's Training Journal

So I was sick the past week and didn't get in the gym for much of any relevant training just some light stuff to keep my self from going insane.
Today was my first work out back lifting hard and I went with my friend who had invited me to work out chest with him.

Tuesday October 20th

Finished off with one set of Dips and was exhausted. Wasn't pleased with my work out but it was great to be back in there throwing around the weights. Can't weight for a couple weeks time when I'm back in there throwing it around hard like I know I can and love to do.
 
Thanks to the subscribers!

what u trainin for bro? what are your stats? how long u been liftin? :)

Stats are on previous page. Been lifting on and off for 6 years. Been non-stop last year and a half except when I was injured in April and a break in September. Want to have strength advantages in softball, basketball, golf, and football (soccer). I want to see how much I can pull, squat, bench like a powerlifter but have some features of a bodybuilder.

Bench looks stronger!! What's your 1rm?

Not sure. I've been training with a buddy and he wants to do a 225 rep out like the NFL combine and max out at the end of the month on consecutive weeks. So I'll know then. After that I think I'm going to train strong man because this gym I started going to is the first time I've been in a place that has all the equipment for that. Stones, logs, tires, military truck, and sled.

Couple games of pick up ball
 
whats pickup ball? strong workout man lots of heavy weight for suprisingly high reps!

In America when you play basketball at the gym and call next. you don't need a whole team of friends you can have a buddy with you and just pick up the best players from the losing side.
 
cool, i love basketball but the thing is there isnt much way i can do it outside of school without playing for a team, i dont wanna commit to it like that i would just love playing it with friends, but its not very big overhere so there arnt just courts anyone can play on :(

it would be great cause normal cardio i find soooo boring but basketball i love

I was going out and partying a lot enjoying my last few months in college so the booze and lack of nutritional eating really kept me from gaining. The fun I had last couple months won't be able to do again in my life when I start my job and have responsibilities.

nice deads! 455 is a bit of a jump from 405. On paper it doesn't seem much, but I bet doing it was tough. lol Awesome work as usual.
Keep it up; you'll get the 455 before long. :)

Have a good rest of your weekend, grub!
