SQUEE

I just deadlifted my own body weight. I've been taking it easy on DLs and squats because I have sucky knees and ankles, doing a lot of modified versions of both. And, well, today I decided I'd had enough and added 20 kg more to the regular DL. Picking up that baby was easy. As a) the damn bar came up nicely and b) we have wooden floors and no padding (yeah, I know) so I can't just drop the damn...

GOD I HATE MY LIFE

... effortlessly, just thinking hips back, elbows out, and 90 just wasn't there. Too heavy perhaps. C+jed up to 110, missed 112.5, dropped to 100, took 105, 112.5, down to 105 again, 110. Deadlifted 160k for 7 again, which was easier than last time - it just came off the floor much faster. But adding on another rep or two was apparently not doable today. Then dead 170k for a triple. I might ...

My workouts lack vigor. Waiting till the end of the day after 6 hours of caffeine avoidance to exercise is taking it's toll. I deadlifted 105 lbs today, which is the highest I've been able to DL since that whole bulging disc fiasco. My goal is to be up to 135 again by the New Year. Happy. I've had to submit and humble myself to the fact that I can't do rear-deltoid exercises without hurting ...

...going to spend the time on it. I did some more raw sets with 315 for as many reps as I could get. I've lost so much in lifting and I don't have time to get it back by nationals. I haven't deadlifted in so long. Like maybe 4 or 5 weeks. Emily got back around 3:30 yesterday. I texted her a bit and she came over and we talked for about an hour or so. It didn't start off as a serious conversation at ...

...from elite, but I'm on my way. I know some of my lifts suffered because I dieted down to make the weight class. I've been taking it easy on squat because of my knees, and I haven't really deadlifted too heavy since I've been doing box work. Only working up to pulling triples with 530 lbs off the box. Last Wednesday I did do shirted boards and I did a triple with 530 to 3 boards and then a triple...

I think I am going to die now

Sean the fatty and I had our first joint effort workout in quite some time tonight, and I think the mutual motivation caused us both to go a step beyond. I deadlifted 365lbs for one rep, and while I nearly shart myself in the doing, that's all that really matters. I guess this means that my deadlift goal for christmas has now increased from 365 to 405. Sean managed 335, that, I suppose when ...
