Your Effort for today shows that you are getting pissed off and made poor decisions. Take the week off, enjoy your Christmas and think about how you are going to kick ass in your next meet. By the time a week is up you will be kicking yourself in the head waiting to get back to training.

I just wanted to murder myself before the time off. It worked.

Pemdas Posts: 973 Joined: 2004/07/22	2007/12/23, 01:22 PM Yeah, I am paying for it today. I am not hurt, but it was a bad idea and my shoulders don't feel happy right now. Live and learn. I will be paying much closer attention to how feel during this pre-meet cycle. Over training isn't an option. I can hear my body, I just don't always listen to it.

Pun intended. ============ Quoting from wrestler125: On a positive note, at least we learned that we should aways buy shorter toilets. =============
Pemdas Posts: 973 Joined: 2004/07/22	2007/12/24, 09:58 AM Happy Holidays. I am out for next five days. I may have some sleeping or eating PRs, but no lifting PRs, unless you count 12 oz curls.
Pemdas Posts: 973 Joined: 2004/07/22	2007/12/31, 07:10 PM Back in the gym yesterday. I still feel week. This week is still just a fuck around week, so I don't really care. My strength better be back next week or I am going to be pissed. Squat. Some Stuff 315x1 365x1 390x1 430x0 whatever, I really wanted a squat pr before I started training for the meet, but its not going to happen. 385x1 Bench 135x3 185x3 225x2 - Blah. All the rep work that I have been doing slightly rotated my right shoulder forward. My Dad is a chiropractor, so had him work on it while I was home. It feels better, but I am going to have to do a lot of prehab/rehab work these coming weeks. Tri-Push downs 100x20 120x15 140x10 Chest-Supported Rows 2 plates x15 4 plates x10 4 plates + 2 quarters x2x8 Box Squats 225x3 275x3 315x3 365x1 365x0 - Blah...I don't know what I was doing. I just wanted to move something heavy. Easy Bar Curls 80x4x8 DONE!! I don't plan on doing any ME work for the rest of the week. Maybe some heavy triples, but mostly some rep work to get muscles ready for a beating. Notes...Santa brought me some blue bands for Christmas. Next Monday starts meet training.

Pemdas Posts: 973 Joined: 2004/07/22	2008/01/04, 08:27 PM DE Lower Box Squat - Strait weight 45x?? 95x2x5 135x2 185x2 225x2 245x8x2 Something clicked today. I now complete understand the whole keeping your elbows forward thing. The funny thing is that my problem was not keeping my elbows forward. It was how I was griping the bar. Apparently my hands were rotated too far back. This caused me to cock my wrists real bad and I think I was keeping my elbows back to relieve some of the stress. Today, I rotated my hands so that my fingers were more toward the floor and my wrist weren't cocked back as much. What do you know...those elbows just came forward by them selves. I felt much tighter. Speed-Pulls 345x10x1 - These felt great. I might up the weight a little. My grip was all fucked up from Wednesday's DB rows. Apparently, I haven't been holding on to heavy shit lately. Even today, it hurt to make a fist and every movement of my wrist made me very aware of my forearms. I think that speed-pulls are one of my indicator lifts. Every time they feel light, I am usually good for a big pull. SLDLs 245x5x8 Ab-Pulldowns 115x15 120x15 125x15 - serious ab pump. Just as a note. I need to be more cautious of how much lower back stuff I am doing. I pretty sure my lack of a Squat PR has been because my lower back has been fried. DONE!! Good day...learned some stuff.

Pemdas Posts: 973 Joined: 2004/07/22	2008/01/05, 05:27 PM DE Upper Bench - Strait Weight 45x20 95x2x5 135x3 155x8x3 I really worked on technique today. I haven't quite mastered leg drive yet. I tend to push off my toes, but something clicked today. I finally understand pushing into your upper back. I was definitely pushing strait up before and wasn't on my heals. Today felt great. I was able to really drive into my upper back with my heals. I made great strides in my setup today. Needless to say, I am very pleased. That's two breakthroughs this week. Close Grip 3-Board 155x5 185x5 205x5 225x4 - might have had 5 but it would have been sloppy. Pull-Ups BW+45x3 BW+25x5 BWx10 BW+25x5 BWx7 Not really sure what I was doing there. DB Cleans 25x3x15 DONE!!!
