Dog House Training

[BendtheBar]

Tomorrow at 1 PM EDT my alma mater, University of Montevallo, will play for the Men's Division II National Championship.

Never heard of the school. Who are they playing? Must Google..

Good luck.

Legs

Miserable session so I won't bore anyone with supplement and warm up info.



Notes
Inversions on the ITable inbetween squat sets.

I had absolutely no focus or strength today. I think I can attribute it to 3-4 things
1. Slept till 8 AM - sleeping in for me
2. Another Pastor called wanting to take wife and I out for an early lunch. We went to Jason's deli and I didn't want to eat all my calories in one sandwich ( I love Muffeletas) so I had the soup and salad bar. Kept calories down but little protein and carbs.
3. The deficit. - This is the first time ever I have noticed any major difference in how I feel going into the gym because of poor nutrition. I will work to make it my last.
4. TOO MANY distractions. I could not focus at all.

Legs is my heaviest tonnage day of the week. In a perfect world, Saturday would be the best day to do this. I do not live in a perfect world. I will move my leg day to Monday or Wednesday, when distractions are lowest.

Well, my alma mater lost the Division II Championship, but they played well. Maybe next year.

Realized I didn't record the final set of Hacks. 10 more at 135

I know how you feel Wisconsin had 2 teams in the sweet 16.

Slept till 8 AM - sleeping in for me

Funny how us geezers work. I slept in until 9 today and didn't feel fully awake until noon.

Keep charging hard Bama.

I love muffeletas too! I can gain at least two pounds a meal on those alone.

Good stuff, Bam. You're getting it done regardless of distractions.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. But I feel that if I allow myself to be satisfied with less, I will then start to default to less. I wanted to make sure I got the heaviest stuff done, but will not be satisfied until I get it all done. Monday I will get er done!

THE WORK



NOTES

After Saturday's debacle, I decided to move leg day to the front end of the week. Overall, I think it was a wise decision. My little work on Saturday, was just enough to leave me with some mild DOMs going into today. It took a few mintues for the muscles to loosen up.

Squats 50% of 1RM + 5lbs. I will increase this another 5 lbs next week. Inversions on the Inversion table in between sets.
Belt Squats - added 20 lbs this week. Still not quite right so I will add at least 10 more pounds next week.
Good Mornings - I was hoping I could do these or RDLS. Tried these first but back said NOPE!. Tried an RDL with bar only and heard the same screaming in my head.
Reverse Hypers - These are more lumbar therapy than anything else.
GHR - working on a slow down, still need a push back up, though not as much of a push.

I was supposed to do some calf work too, but phone rang and church stuff happened, so I will try to work them in on one of the other days. My legs are feeling this one, which is a good thing.

Hope this works out well for you.

We shall see. A ten week experiment. What is the worst that can happen? I pump my muscles up a bit?
