Good solid speed day with accessories - focus was there , drive was good , head was in the right place. Focused on just got solid fast reps today , nothing heroic 55% of 1rm as the right shoulder catches up , use today as a half ass deload for the main. Added some weight on to the bent rows today , see how that feels on the hips n back later on today , reps themselves went real good.

In moments like this , I reflect on the timeless and immortal words of the great American philosopher Ric Flair when he said - "WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Damn solid lower day , all the stars were lined up. Head was in the right place , hinge was working proper , drive transferred through proper and I could use my legs to push the world away during the pull. It all went so good I had to sit for a minute and thank everyone from God to my mother and all the ghosts that watch over me and take care of me for allowing me to heal and continue to do this.

Good solid work day , I would of liked to get a few more reps out of main mover but it is what it is. First day trying to really get some leg drive , worked well in the lower weight sets ,, not so well as we moved up the ladder but still ended up in a decent place over all so im not all sad n shit.

Everything moved well , felt good. Fire was hot in the forges , good drive , good focus , I got nothing to complain about.

When I got to my band work at the end I slowed it all right down to a crawl ,, holy fucking pump and pain hahahaah there is something to that.

Today was a decent lower day , I kind of blew off speed work today and went for round two of heavy pulling , nothing heroic just pulled til the bar didnt want to move , no grinding heavy or beating my self up really but some good solid work all the same.

Dedz n Skwatz are progressing well , the compression in my spine doesn't seem to effect them as much as it does my benching wow , there is definitely something to arching and using leg drive in my bench that aggravates the fuck out of it for sure. I can still feel wednesday's leg drive today.

Decent work out all around some numbers and reps moved up some stayed the same but it all felt good , moved well and I'm feeling positive about being able to compete in Sept if God wills it.

Today went well for what it was , some speed work , a few singles , see if we can get the right delt n pec tendon thing back on board with us for next week.

Good drive n focus , head was in the right spot. Not a hella strong day mind you but good work was done so all in all i got nothing to complain about.

I CAN NOT use much leg drive at all benching , that's whats really fucking with my back at this point and im not sure why. I can pull , I can squat but arching during bench work and i'm phuct !! yes I was also hooked on phonics

Held back on incline work today , back is just feeling odd seated with weight over me.

Today was golden , pulled past where I wanted to , pulled past the world record and im still walking and talking. WOOOOO!

Pulling past that today got to me , I really thought I fucked myself up this time and destroyed my back and would never be able to do this again ... Took a moment and thanked everyone from all of you to my family and God most of all He is Good to me, so Good.

Nice solid work day , everything moved well on main , bar had good speed , hinge was firing proper , legs were pushing the world away , holy shit it all felt good.

Got decent work on accessories in , some things moved up some stayed the same either way its all moving in the right direction.

@jipped genes I've been trying your carb cycling idea and loading up just one meal a week on sunday night , see how its going here in another week or so fat wise.

So far the first refeed put me up to 210 the next morning ... this time I was only at 207 , same amount of carbs and same types of food. I'm guessing thats just water n sugar so ill know in another couple of weeks the progress.

 

[Trip]

it's water, it will balance out quickly, numbers doing nice

Great Descriptions of workout n day, see how u can get into Zoney

What can I say , ya know how some days go fucking excellent and you come out feeling like a million bucks no matter how hard it was ? and other days are like some one hunched up and shit right in the middle of the dinning room table .. yeah .. it was one of those haahahaa.

The point of diminishing returns .. deload ? hmmmm

Just could not get fired up today , hot , drained feeling , didnt sleep well , I could list a bunch more excuses but it all boils down to the iron pile kicked my ass today WOOOOOOOOO!

No real drive through my legs , back aching when i did try ,, just a clustefuck of immense proportion , almost ,,, ALMOST packed it in and came up but that gets nothing done and no lessons learned so ,,, onward , forward , to battle !!
