20 Years to find 20 Reps...Worth the trip? (jdmalm123's Bulldozer training log)

[jdmalm123]

One of my lifting buddies goofed up his rotator cuff last night (while sleeping) so, he was not up for much and my other lifting buddy invited us out for beers and dinner. So, we kept it minimal and then went out to relax.

Last WO before BULLDOZER:

Hanging knee raises with a twist: 5x20
Lying Swiss Ball Bridge Hamstring Curls: 4x10
6-inch leg raises: 10x10-20 seconds

A beer sounds really good right now.

No beer when banting, I assume? I think one quality beer a day is healthful.

I had a black & tan, but they mixed the Guinness with Yuengling, not Bass. So, I tried a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat and had two of them. They tasted like cherry cola. I was afraid the cherry taste messed up my taste buds for anything else so I stayed with it.

I slept well.

Best beer I ever had was in this place over in Paderborn Germany. The building was old, real old! The food was home cooking style, but with a professional approach. Pork steaks as big as a plate, with mushroom gravy, and potato's.

The beer was a brand called Warsteiner. This stuff went down like a cold glass of iced tea does. Man that was good beer. Another great place for great beer is the Hoffbrau house in downtown Munich. Litre's of cold beer in big mugs. You can hurt yourself in that place trying to keep up with the locals. 4 litres is a lot of beer to drink in one night.

I love dark German beers.

Most beers sold here are watered down at least 50% vs their European counterparts. Shame!

PS - Checked out the CPB blog. Very cool. I'm 100% natural and my original inspiration came from actual Greek/Roman statutes and the old Hercules/Samson movies with stars like Reeves...

Ha ha. I think I'm a beer elitist.
Not that I'm very knowledgeable or snobby, but I like unique and high quality beers.
There are SOME beers I wouldn't drink for free...




So, I am most concerned about horizontal pressing (CGBP) since my most recent injury was an (undiagnosed) AC joint sprain. To pre-test it, I did 20 CGPU (good) then 45x20 (good) then 95x11 (ok) then 115x11 (sorta ok).

Even though I think 135x20 would be ok, I'm going to run next week (the 10RM test week) with the 115 and then repeat it for week 1 of my BULLDOZER program. I may be artificially holding back a bit, but I'll err on the side of caution.

No beer whilst banting. But it sure does sound good. Welcome to the High Life.

Your selections sound good. I have beer so infrequently that I usually stick with the High Life ice cold.

Went hiking this morning from 10am-12pm. About 6 miles.

Heading to a friend's house for JETS vs Colts and some sushi.
