Nothing much, just a little PR. I did 405x15 off the rack, but banging the shit out of the pins in the process. haha I did what I could. Heres an exerpt of my shitty workout from my journal. ThanX for all the encouragement!!
5-24-04 Monday Back and Partial Deadlifts
Today I felt like shit. Extreme light-headedness before even entering the gym, and it only got worse. I still managed to force myself to do a nasty pull with 565 off the rack on the lowest setting. Which shows me that 585 will be no problem as soon as I come back in, feeling strong. Felt like I was going to pass out before even starting, but said fuck it, Im not backing down now. I also managed to tear a muscle in my upper thigh, which I only noticed after getting home. Its a dark red pertrusion the size of a pinky print. So its pretty small at the moment. But I figure its a tear. Ill continue with my routine none the less and hit legs on saturday most likely. I decided to take 2 days rest for my coming 5X5 routine on thursday, which I expect to be an easy 5X5 with 305 on the flat bench.I also started Cell-Tech a few days ago which should help me come in a few pounds heavier and hopefully stronger. It may even put me at 200lbs since Ive been around 195-197 on a full stomache. Im only taking one scoop a day though, to finish off an old container. Most of the time the 5-8 hours I spend training (and resting) back just flies by, today the 3 1/2 hours felt like a full workout. haha I managed to pull 405 off the rack for a 15 rep PR. I banged and smashed that shit off the pins though. haha Had to force it today.Heres the routine:
(191lbs before meals) (3 1/2 hours only, I believe...Felt longer...haha)
Chin-Ups:

20
T-Bar Row with Barbell:
90x15
135x15 (3 45lb plates)
180x15
225x12
250x10 (5 45lb plates and a quarter)
Partial Deadlifts:
135x12
225x10
315x1
405x1 (heavy today)
505x1 (heavy shit)
545x1 (heavier then FUCK itself)
565x1 (disgustingly heavy today. I had one side up for a long time, it got nasty as I screamed and struggled that fucker to completion)
405x15 (PR, literally BANGED that shit out, against the pins)
Alternating Dumbell Curls (to entertain myself, get a little PUMP):
55x8
Low Pulley Cable Rows:
165x15
195x15
225x15
Shit workout. TRAIN OR FUCKIN DIE!!
