I must say that I got a little pissed today. I was just getting ready to hit 550 on deads and as I was gathering myself, one of my members comes in making all kinds of grunting noises and sh*t to mess with me. He was joking around of course, but I’m working with 95% of my max and trying to move forward. I need to concentrate and it pisses me off when I can’t. It was so hard not to yell at him. I mean I know most people come to a gym to f*ck aroound and socialize, but I don’t and I didn’t by a gym to be f*cked with, I bought it so I would be able to further myself as an athlete while giving people in my home town a place to train. Then, to make matters more irritating, some lame ass salesman comes in and talks my ear off even after I told him that I didn’t want his crap. I should of slapped him across the face with my lifting belt. That wouldn’t have been too Jedi-like though would it?

Oh well, after a forever rest that I was sure was gonna take me out of my groove, I still pulled it- so that’s cool. I still decided to say screw trying to go heavier though and moved to the next lift. The rest of the workout was smooth.

Missed my back workout last Friday. F it, went camping early instead, much better choice I’ll make up for it this week though. On an upnote though we did go on a great 5 mile hike this weekend up to a pretty sweet cave called Pack Saddle Cave. Its one of the largest caves around here and I actually have no idea how far it goes back because we weren’t equipped to fully explore it… we’ll go back though.

Little off in the gym today from the beer and the camping sleep but such is life.

Smallville is on tonight, that’s pretty much the highlight of my day. Naw, pretty decent day, just uneventful. Didn’t work out much because I am sore sore sore. Can’t believe how sore even a little time off can make you when you get back on it. As far as what I did do was just a half assed arm workout- enough to get a pretty good pump on but not much more. Tomorrow I have back and that should be a good lift. I love back days- probably my favorite to tell you the truth. Anyway I’m off to go and rustle up some grub, gotta keep growing. Have a good night ya’ll.

Short day today but it kicked my ass, love deadlifts.

Another workout today, felt good, kinda laid back. I took longer rests because I was kinda waiting for someone but they didn’t show. Not too paced out though so I still managed a really nice pump. Delts and tris wit two sets of calves. Tomorrow I deadlift.

I’m back! After moving into a new place, getting sick, working 50-70hrs per week since December, training for a bodybuilding competion and then putting 20 pounds back on in 1.5 weeks after the show I finally needed a break. Over the last two weeks I did next to no lifting (3 workouts- I did hit 40 reps with 85 lbs dumbbells on incline in one of those!!) and it was wonderful. My body (i.e. my shoulder, that thing still sucks off and on) put itself back together pretty well and I seem to have lost no real strength ( which suprises me because I tend to get out of the groove when I’ve been off) while maybe putting a little on my arms. Started training again today with chest and biceps with a little bit of calve work thrown in. Was a little short setwise, but I got what I need out of the day and I’ll be back up to full volume next week I’m sure.
