Oops, missed a few days on here. Gonna try to condense it a tad.
Sunday, first time I've felt like doing squats in a long time. My ankle was hurting like a mofo, but for some reason I was happy and in a good mood to squat. That was odd to me. Ended up doing chain squats singles working my way from 105+214 pounds of chain all the way up to 255+214 pounds of chain. So that's right at 470 at the top. My depth looked good, form felt/looked good so I was pleased with that.
Monday, still not doing shoulders directly because of the wonky feeling when I do overhead presses so I made it a biceps day. So really nothing to talk about except I did use the FatGrips a lot, which which came back to haunt me a bit.
Tuesday, Tuesday was a damn good day. Actually had someone to train with which was nice, speed bench 315+50chain for 5 sets of 2, incline dumbbells 80s for 3 sets of 10, dips bodyweight(303.8) for 3 sets of 10-12, and ended with the pec deck, stack again 3 sets of 10-12. Chest was pretty pumped up and I'm not noticing any size loss in my shoulders because I'm hitting the inclines and pec deck a bit more. Training with Christian really helped push me a bit harder than I felt like going so that was a good thing.
Wednesday, it was my heavy pulling day, first time I've decided to go over 405 since the meet, did rack pulls from the 2nd pin which puts it just below my knee and that's where I was losing the 550+ before the meet, so good area to work. Worked up to 535 and it moved fast and easy, easier than I had expected. After that I did several sets of pull/chinups kept alternating. 5 sets of 6, 1 set of 5, and 1 set of 3. This is where I wish I hadn't used the FatGrips on Monday, because holy fuck my forearms were burning.
Now, for the part where I have to talk about the people I consider a part of my gym crew. And it's a large crew(in both senses) So, I go in Monday and one of them, first time I'd seen him in a while, with the most sincere look of concern he could muster "What's this I hear about you becoming a bodybuilder?" So I was like "I'm gonna kill them." He laughed "So what are you down to?" "303.8 this morning." "I'm worried, are you depressed? Are you not eating?" This of course lead to a discussion on eating, training, then another guy popped over as we were in awe of what the fuck we were seeing going on in the squat rack. This goes back to the whole "If you don't know what the fuck you're doing, maybe the gigantic people who you hear talking over a variety of topics ranging from masturbation, to Taco Bell, to the conjugate method of training aren't such a scary group, maybe they wouldn't mind giving some advice" thing I often bitch about. I guess that's enough for tonight, I need to attempt to not put a full week in one post.
