Jason X Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Official weigh in: 192. Early in am, no food, no water, nothing. 8.5% body fat. Same as it was back in january. 9.5lbs lean body mass added since feb. And .5lbs of fat in the same time period. Not too bad. Time to get bigger, though.

MaryStella Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 maybe try stretching your hips out before you squats. Hold a deep isometric squat before you lift. If you can get into a better squat position but opening up those hips and stay back on those heels. hopefully you won't end up ditching the weight forward. and you can be happier about your squats. good luck.

Jason X Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Yesterday I didn't get to the gym...date night with the lady messing up my plans. (yes, mostly kidding) we did go to a batting cage, though. More a mental workout than a physical one. Gonna start doing arms/abz, bro in the ams (2 a days!) Today was 45lb fot 12reps on barbell curl and overhead tri extensions. Then 5x10 at 65lbs for both lifts. Also 5x10 each side for 45lb plate side bends. Compound lifts later.

MaryStella Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Sorry to hear about the depression. Maybe your feeling tired and overtrained. Do something fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason X Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Not overtrained. Promise. 100% sure. have a good weekend in the works. I'm sure I need it. What I need is for rugby season to be over so I get some free time. That'd be nice. Thanks for the support, though. I've been bad about reading logs, but I hope your ankle is doing better. I'm going to check right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsteriffic Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hey there, haven't been online in awhile. Checked your log and I am impressed by your progress - way to go Jason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason X Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 thanks, Lobster! Had a crap day yesterday. I blame chewy. Wasn't going to lift. He lit a fire under my ass, though. I should have known better. I always lift like crap the day after rugby games... Anyhow, oh well, I tried. Deadlifts.135 x 5225 x 5275 x 3315 x f, f295 x 1300 x f275 x 1. Got mad and left. Didnt have it. I'm still coming for ya, chewy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob PMFF Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 That's still pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason X Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks Rob, but I guess in this case "good" isn't "good enough". lol. Today was "good enough" though. Deads and shrugs. Deads135 x 5225 x 5275 x 3295 x 3310 x 1315 x1325 x 1 (5lb pr. felt good. skipped the pr match)330 x 1 (didn't feel good enough to try for another 10lb jump)335 x 0 335 x 0 315 x 0 (gassed)315 x 1 (lucky pull)315 x 0225 x 5, 10, 10 Full disclosure: both 335 attempts were done with straps. Didn't help though, apparently. Everything else was done strapless. That's a good deadlift day. that's 30lbs of deadlift pr in a week and a half (2 weeks on thursday. I'm going to try to make it 50lbs of pr by then) shrugs didn't go quite so well, but it's because I couldn't hold on to the damn bar, even with straps.455 x 4, 5, 3, 4, 6.still not terrible. then rugby practice. I don't know why I'm incapable of lifting on sundays... every other day is pretty ok. I think it might have something to do with it being later in the day...

chewybaws Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Nice lift man, almost 150kg! Are we doing this raw for the final lift? (no belts, straps, wraps, suits etc) Also with bench, ass needs to stay on bench, flat feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squat225 x 3245 x 2265 x 1275 x 0 Back didn't like that either.. Shrugs455 x 6, 6, 5, 3, 5Couldn't hang on. Hands are wrecked. Got after it. Didnt feel like going. win for me. also, just realized that tomorrow is my last day to increase my 2 week deadlift pr jump. I'm driving to dallas after work on Thursday, so no gym for me that day... I'll have an hour before practice and that's it. Deads, Bench and shrugs, I reckon. Maybe no bench, because that actually gets used in my gym. unlike the power rack where I usually camp out..
