Great work Bro! Love dem rack deads!

[glwanabe]

i must have accidentally hit the "power up" button because i was a raging maniac in the gym today. After 75 minutes i wanted to keep going but then i remembered that i had to eat, so i quit. I heart food.

win!

i just was in one of those moods where i wanted to do everything wrong; everything counterintuitive just to spite some of the bro-nonsense in this industry. Guys doing 20 sets for biceps but worried that one extra set for front delts might cause a nuclear meltdown. If defies logic.

win!

no more sitting in high towers. Get down in the trenches. There's a war taking place. And remember boys and girls...first you have to master the rules, and then when the rules stop working, you have to be brave enough to break the rules. the end.

win!

each day i tell my brain to shut up and just do work. It's better that way. This isn't a game for lab geeks in white coats with clipboards. You can pretend it is, but it isn't. The pioneers worship at the altar of iron. They spill their blood in the name of crom. They don't think, they destroy. They don't think, they die or thrive.

win!

stop thinking and just do. Yes, there are rules. Learn the rules, understand the rules, learn your body, then smash the rules.

I want to go train again. And i might. I want to make a mess.

win!

sumo deadlifts
*wanted to hit 20 reps with 315 for the challenge. Why? Because the rock stood in my way. There is no other reason.

315 x 14

dips
*for glwanabe

bw x 9/9/9/7/6/6/6/4 = 50 - bam!


seated one arm overhead dumbbell press
65's x 11
65's x 11
65's x 10

squats
*i wanted to quit after 10. This is where the "power up" button was hit today, and the rage kicked in. I know the weight sucks, but 20 rep squats are 95% mental training. Once i master the mental aspect, i will be at 315x20 before too long. Why? Because the rock stands in my way. The end.

205 x 20

rack deads
*not in the program, but i did them to please crom. And to reassure myself that i wasn't becoming a flye-boy.

315 x 1
405 x 1

Crom is pleased!

Great thoughts, great session. 20 reps squats are just plain tough. Most folks don't realize that because they have never tried them. Good job, you will be at 315 before you know it.

Thanks Bam.

I'm hoping by doing them 3 times a week I will build up some cardiovascular strength while doing them. Right now I feel like I sprinted a mile when I'm done. I would rather feel I've only sprinted 50 yards.

YES!!!

I think your right on track with that logic. Plus with your overall leg size and the diet they will help keep things moving in the direction you want.

I can see a huge difference in your face in your AV pic Steve. Keep after it, the hard work is paying off. The reveal is going to be awesome.
