Long time, nothing to bitch about. Past two weeks have been pretty interesting. Week before last, did the normal Westside template, however for our accessory work we did super slow high reps. Wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad had it not been for the crippling agony the next day. Was fun though, going to try incorporating that every 6-8 weeks. Then last week was a high rep/deload weight week. 135 is easy to bench/squat/deadlift, but once you hit your 50-80th rep it gets to be a bit of a bitch. Fun for a week, but no way I'd wanna do that more than once every 3-4 months.
Tonight was ME squat/dl night. Managed to do a 680lb rackpull. That was a new PR. Felt really fucking good. Followed up with heavy leg curls, then some barshrugs 315 for a few sets of 6, ended with suitcase deadlift out of the Smith machine(not what I call myself), and finally standing situps with blue bands. Wanted to do more but our lower backs were kinda crispy at that point.
Only part of the Arnold I watched this year was the strongman events. Those announcers were fucking terrible. My favorite lines were the one guy saying that Hafthor Bjornsson doesn't look like he weighs over 400 pounds and then later when refering to the dumbbell they were using for the single arm overhead dumbbell press "For those of you who don't know what 275 pounds looks like, imagine an olympic bar with two 45s and a 25 on each end." My guess is that anyone who was watching and didn't know what 275 pounds looks like sure as hell doesn't know what it looks like now. How about "For those of you who don't understand how much this weights, it's the weight of a pony." Zydrunas Savickas kicked ass again. Enjoy this video. Later peeps.
