Crush them presses. Powered by pizza you should be good for at least 10.

Lol how bout 11?

Got to one of my other job locations today. My 12 inch log was there so I played with that. The only downside is that the building there is open, buto nly about 80% complete. The weight room has all the cardio stuff, but missing most of the free weights. I had to use straight sets today.

Log press:
emptyxbunch
180X5X5

Preacher DB Hammer Curls:
25X3X12

Bike-10 minutes at a decent pace with no added resistance.

Notes: I completely spaced off doing incline tonight. I was also not able to do facepulls. I will do facepulls tomorrow and hit up incline next week. I want to add in some bw push ups to this day as well.

Making me feel weak with those log presses.

All the best people train with a SM Log. So Steve will have one soon, I imagine...

It has been awhile since I log pressed. I feel like hell today. Deadlifts should be interesting tonight.

[austin.j.taylor]

So I jacked up my spreadsheets between the two computers I work on and the workout I printed had numbers still turned down a little. Oh well I have it fixed now.

Deadlifts:
5x130
5x160
3x195
3x260
3x275
>3x290 (GOT 8)
*Last set should have been >3X360

Front Squat:
140X5X5

Chins:
BWX3X4 (PR)

Close Grip Lat Pulldowns:
100X2X10

Exercise Bike:
10 minutes at a moderate pace, 5 resistance

Notes: Not a bad workout considering it was screwed from the beginning.

[austin.j.taylor]

Recumbent exercise bike-20 minutes, 4.25 miles

lunges onto aerobic step:
3X10Xeach leg

single leg squats from aerobic step to floor:
3X6Xeach leg

Stability work:
stand on upside down bosu with single leg:
1 minuteX3Xeach leg

single leg lunges onto bosu ball:
3X5Xeach leg

low cable hip extensions:
15X3Xeach leg

low cable glute kickbacks:
8X3Xeach leg

Notes: I ended up decided at the last minute to hit the gym. Ended up doing more work than I intended to do, but whatever. My hips are very worn out right now, which is a good thing as I could use all the hip work possible to assist in my knee healing.

Note to Austin. Make sure to grab the correct spreadsheet.

Still killed me on front squats. I hate front squats.

Good job on the pr!

That sucks about the spreadsheet, also how is your knee feeling anyways?
