Those are dang impressive numbers menace.-------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.

Military Presses: 135-12+0 reps...barely got last rep...was throwing up afterwards... 155-5+0 reps 175-1+0 reps 185-1+0 rep...had to fight for it....slight help with the legs...felt like a ton Pinch Grip: 100lb DB: 3 sec, 2 sec, 3 sec...picked it up with both hands by the sides...used a brown paper towel to 'chalk it up' on the sides....to make it less slippery...wiped it off so hard that pieces of paper towel stayed on the DB... Sitting Left Tricep Extension Machine: 110-6+0 reps...again hurled....didnt eat enough i guess... 130-1+3...did 3 negatives, helped with right then tried to do slow negatives, couldnt hold hand stretchedout at all...it rebounded a few inches before I could catch it.... 2:45PM END -did bit of grippers yesterday...CCS or better: got BBE right to within 1/2'-3/4' and left to about 1' or less...then got BBGM to 1-2mm from close with right and 1/2' with left....then thinking I was doing BBGM, I got right to prolly within 1/2' gave it my all....then realized it was BBE...lol...left had nothing...1' at best....BBGM right to about 1/8 closed and left maybe to 1"..HG300 got to within 1/2-1/4" with right and 3/4" with left...then did a couple TNS with HG250...got 1 rep with both hands...then got 1 more with right and came within 1/2" with left... -got Vbar and Pin for Climber511 on Gripboard...that guy does phenomenal work....got it out to me fast too...very cool guy...built his whole gym from scratch just about...wanted to try it out today but decided to hold off until Deadlift day so I i can do it with the rest of my support grip work... | |

Vertical Bar: -found out I am complete p*$$y when it comes to the vbar lift...have heard small guys talking about them doing 200+ on first trys...and not being able to close #2...i know its different grip types...but nevertheless...i can hold on to lockouts probably close to 600 on a good day..so i was expecting 200-300 range.. 1plate-1 rep per arm 2plates-1 rep per arm 3plates-1 rep per arm...bar was coming off my hands as I locked it out..135 is right around my max now on the lift... granted I used no chalk and the bar is really slick..I read that u can add 50+ using chalk ...but still..i was very disappointed in myself... did a few more 1 rep sets with 3 plates, and then went back down to 2 for 2-3 rep sets per hand... w/straps: 590(wanted 600 but messed up)-3+0 reps 635-1+0 rep...moderately difficult 655-1+0 rep...after a bit of struggling got it.. 605-1+0 rep... -used all back ...could feel right side dominating like no tomorrow...left hamstring still tight and weakened...although left hip feels much better -took me about 90 min to get through it all..was shocked I had 655 in me...been almost a month since last workout...probably the best lift to preserve strength in for me when taking time off... grippers: -I closed BBGM with right on sunday with my friend watching closely...and come within 1/2" with left...then did a few partials with BBE to about 1".. -tried BBGM today but had nothing...got BBGM within 1/2" right hand and about 3/4-1" with left...then did 2 negatives with BBE with my left hand....my ring finger was hurting after the set....the missing skin was on the other side but the bandage was putting a lot stress on it.... left arm sittign tricep extension machine: 110-3+0 reps...should have warmed up 110-5+0 reps...

Gosh, today I felt super lazy!! Really I was going freaken crazy sitting on my ass watching T.V. all day not to mention eating ice cream, pie, chips and all kind of freaken junk food. Yes this is all do to my depression, my boyfriend left me 3 weeks ago for this fat ass bitch and I thought "that;s what he wants?, that's what he's going to get" ha ha but then around 6pm I snaped out of it and decided that if I continued working out, he would eventually want me back :):laugh:but of course I would kick him to the curb. Anyway I ended up at the gym and did 30min of cadio and went home :).
