Jason has family down here, I think, so he is down here occasionally. I just need to plan a time to come up there.

Thanks, and thanks for stopping by. I am working on getting the numbers up, both in strength and body size.

Every once in awhile I take a little trip, but I always find my way home.

Tomorrow begins the revival of the McCallum Hybrid FB routine. Monday will be Chest emphasis for the Pumpsets, Wednesday will be Leg and Back emphasis, Friday will be shoulder emphasis for Pumpsets.

Gonna simplify the routine a bit, but looking forward to it.

NOTES
Felt good, really felt like I accomplished something from head to toe. Am still thinking through the volume issue. I will continue to use the pumpsets on my main upper body lifts, for chest, shoulders and back. Started to go 5 x 10 on teh other sets, but did not have it for the GHRs. I am also thinking that a little less shoulder volume on Bench pump day and a little less Bench volume on shoulder day will be helpful to my joint recovery. My #1 goal for 2013 is to go without an injury sideline for the year. That will mean smart training even when a part of me wants to push things, to look like one of the big boys.

Front Squats - Hams to calves. Next time, shoot for 5 x 5 x 115 then up the weight.
Bench - PR. I will keep the weight at 160 until I can get at least 2 sets of 5 at 160. Would love to hit 175 before end of the year.
Smith Pendlays - try to focus on squeeze.
GHR's - I want to to include ham/glute work each session to maintain balance. I am quad dominant and need to maintain balance for the sake of the back. Remember, no injuries in 2013.
Glass OHP - Good finisher for shoulders and arms. Enough volume to work the muscles, not too much to inhibit progress.

Good start. I enjoyed myself.

Haha I love that pic. Goal goal, stay healthy Bama. Less is more works for me.

Congrats on the bench progress!

WORKING SETS

Squats/ DB Pullovers
5 x 135 10 x 20
5 x 185 10 x 20
5 x 185 10 x 20
5 x 185 10 x 20
5 x 185 10 x 20

Rack Deadlifts
5 x 135
5 x 185
5 x 255

NOTES
Abbreviated session today as I have a ton to do before Tonight and I am having study/writer's block. A meeting in an hour and half, doesn't help my situation. Oh, well, I still got to squat.

Squats - At least to parallel. I feel I am over thinking things and it is messing up my form. I am going to keep weight here, work on 5 x 5 x 185 and then from there increase the reps while working on form.
Rack Deadlifts - These felt good, it has been a while since I have done these. No touch and goes, these were from a dead stop each pull. I know I could have gone even heavier but I do not want to rush things. Goal 1 for 2013 - No injuries.
