Way to, uh, kill that shit and stuff.

I don't enjoy the pump workouts as much as I used to at all.

Low reps are more enjoyable for me now.

lol, that's probably the little voice in your head saying "where's the plan/progression/PR?"

Is this mid-upper "kink" a new trouble spot for your back?

No, it's not a "new" trouble spot. It'll line itself up... or i'll have to run into a wall backwards to make it

Ok. Epiphany time. (wow i need spell check, i know that's not right)

I've come to the realization how truely gheigh that 'workout' was, And I should have just used that fuel for a PR setting workout.

My chest is sore, sadly... from failure at 135x7 after the other work.

Will let it heal for 1 or 2 days then it's back to 5 reps this week after hitting a single last time.

I went out last night with some old high school buddies for the first time in years (4 or 5). Had a great time... topped off the night around 2am with a bunch of greasy food. Apparently my friend had never seen anyone eat 2 #3's (double Q.P's) from McD's before either. I was glad to show a 150lber what it takes to be 220, lol

Tonight i'm keeping the food going, I'm feeling Chinese.

It's all about the numbers, right now.

I'm out of state next week to spend time with my grandfather (79) & great aunt (92)... it's not good

I'm going to order in and get a bunch of different entrees so I can watch college ball.

As a Michigan fan, I can't decide who I should be rooting for USC or ND. I'm thinking ND since the Wolverines beat them up as badly as they did, won't allow them to leap frog Michigan. If USC wins, they would have to lose to UCLA next week to get knocked out of the NC game with Ohio State.

Don't beat yourself up too much about the pump-fest. You got it out of your system, and now you know with a bit more certainty that you prefer the new training approach to the old one. And the soreness probably isn't that big of a deal, at least in the sense of being a sign that the workout will hamper your progress. It probably wasn't as much due to going to failure as to doing a bit more volume than, and some different movements from, what you're used to.

I must admit that I don't understand some of your "unclean" food choices. If you're going to eat at restaurants, even at 2 a.m., at least pick something better than McDonald's (like that Chinese food you'll have tonight).

TSO#2:
lol, I don't follow college ball enough to converse about standings. I enjoy competition and the great ball that some of the teams play. Half the time I don't know which channel to watch cuz there are too many games on

Yesterday's LSU vs. Ark, the returns they were making at the end were ridiculous.. and the almost 99 yard return was awesome.

CS:
No beating up, just posting for the sake of logging Ok, that's good to hear... hampered progress wouldn't be good.

There aren't many choices at 2am where I live, fast food is the only 24hr/late night option... it hit the spot at the time sober, I despise that crap, lol.
