Fronts feel fine. Maintaining the proper back position is my main focus this week.
Backs are out for another week of so I think, not sure really. Have to see what I feel like and how deep I can get w/ out 'bending' into the hole...

I don't think the cut ever started...lol. From Jan 1 till NYC trip I did well, lost some in NYC even, but have been eating like an asshole lately (biggt'ism). I bet my daily protien is around 200 grams... missing my last meal, etc, not much drive in the diet area (not very unusual for me).
I will get back on track soon enough.

How 'bout now?al420 said:
You mentioned at the beginning of the previous log that one of the reasons for starting it was to give you an incentive to monitor your food intake more closely.Think of revamping your diet like you revamped your training philosophy; take a more systematic approach rather than going completely by feel and leaving things to chance.

Weight this AM: ???
Todays Workout: Light Day
Power Clean: 145 x3x4
GP Row: 155x5, 175x5, 195x5, 225x5x2
Jump Shrug: 225x10, 275x8, 315x5x3
Lat Pulldown: 145x5x4
Cleans are fun. I really want to be comfortable w/ 225 from the floor all the way to overhead. That will happen this year. I can Jerk 205'ish now, but can barely clean 190.

Todays Workout:
12" Box Squat: 135x5, 185x5, 225x5x3 - really low box for me.
Flat Bench: 185x5x5
Seated BB Military: 145x5x5
Pec Deck: 100x10x3
Some laterals, fronts, rear, etc... working on ROM in shoulders
Squats are getting better. 12" box is below parallel for me, so it was harder than I expected. Leg strength is on the way back up, I can tell, just not explosive yet. Hip and groin felt great (till I tried a few sets on normal back squats...not yet)
Switching to seated military on my heavy day. PP's take too much out of me but I will keep them on my light press day and push them at a higher %.
All and all I am doing too much work, so I'm going to reorganize my lifts - or reprioritize what lifts I really want to push.
Did the pec deck for fun, but it provided a great stretch. I am seeing where a machine can 'force' me into a better starting posture...which I need. I did feel pretty gay while doing it...

Yeah, AL....with back squats sometimes you don't even know it, but you lean and the bar comes forward and bothers the knees, fronts force you upright or else you just dump the bar. With the groin, the only thing I can think of is your stance is a little wider on backs and that might be an issue. Training's looking good though, I just wanted to subscribe to the new journal.

Weight this AM: 220'ish
Todays Workout:
Power Clean: 160 x3x3 - no more straight sets on PC's for now. It get's too hard. I did these from the rack as well. Much harder IMO.
12'' Rack Pulls: 315x5, 365x5, 385x5, 405x5, 425x3 - lower rack than last week by at least 6" !
HS Seated Row: 6 plates x8x3
Used a Reebok Step as my "pin" as my gym has fancy HS Racks (lowest pin setting is a smidge above 18"). Thought several times they were going to impload, but it all worked out. Several on-lookers were thinking the same thing
Straps @ 365, Belt at 385. Did a few raw singles (from floor) w/ 365, and 385. Felt fine.
