so todayy was the deadlift day and some light speed box squats so i did about 5 sets of box squats at 60% maximum for 2 reps each and yeah easy..  then i faced 4 plates and 2 35’s for deadlifts -475- i was supposed to do three sets at 2 reps.  so i did my first set..2 reps at 475..did my second and only got 1 rep..tried my third and hahahaha iunno if it was bad form cause she wasn’t going anywhere..  i’m wondering about this really because how do people find out if they are one of the people that grow from one single heavy ass set..  i mean either my muscle fibers are really efficient and kick in to maximum and completely exhaust themselves quickly..or i have some low amount of workload i can handle..not really sure which one it is but i’d like to figure it out… on a side note i got a nice fake scamming sponsorship message in my inbox today and yeah that kinda bummed me out because you know you lift weights you work hard and when you get offered financial assistance for your sport you would really like to jump on it but then people make false hopes for you and it’s just sick >.<..oh well i still nailed some mean deadlifts today so yeah!

well yesterday was a decent lift i had heavy squats and the rest was speed bench work and bench assistance so here we go.

squats: 405lbls 3 reps 3 sets

speed bench 70% 170lbls 3 reps 8 sets

assistance work

military press 125×5 125×5 120×5

skull crushers 65×12 65×10 65×12 (injury pain)

bent over rows 120×10, 120×9, 120×7 (realized later i did wrong form because i haven’t really ever done these :\ so it may have taken some figures away)

well recently i finally broke my bench’s plataeu and also realized that heyyy i’m a powerbuilder and on a strength cycle why am i benching like a BB and not arching..well i started arching and was extremely happy by the difference..i’ll post what my bench has become on my next heavy day.  which just happens to be next friday..and that’s my next workout..i don’t know if i can go 6 days of rest between lifts…i’ll be doing tons of gripper work and abs on these breaks i’m thinking..i’ll have to do something to keep myself happy, the intensity i’m moving onto on my peaking cycle is getting fairly extreme and it is becoming hard to pump out all my sets at the near maximum weights they are at but you know you gotta keep your goal in mind and mine is to beat records especially the squat record at school which is 480 by a 280lbl guy..i don’t believe he should be up there so i decided to make it my mission to take that weak squat down i have til around june to set it so hmm i’ll beat it..the beggining of may..that’s the time i’m allowing myself hopefully i can do it so wish me luck guys!  well that’s it for this entry..i’ll get back to you my readers .

p.s. took new progress pictures and re-measured my body.
