Got in the gym today nice and early, which is like 8am. Thats early for a workout ok! I'm not waking up at 3am to lift, I have to do that shit on work days...damn all that.
I was there to squat...and squat I did not. Somehow I loaded a bar for deadlifting, not thinking about it, so I went ahead with that. Warmed up...135 x5....225x5...315x5...365x1...405x1...Now that went up real smooth. I felt good for a PR, last PR was 415. Loaded up 420...closed the lever, gripped....big belly of air..pulled it to about 5 inches...and that was as far as it was goin! Oh well...next time I'll get it.
After that I dropped it to 315 and did 3x10 "power" shrugs (regular grip, clean grip, snatch grip)
Finished with 100# per hand Farmers walk up and down the BB court until the PT Testers showed up.
SO I guess I'll Squat/Press tomorrow before a wonderful 3 day work weekend.

Atlanta - Gettin it in Southern Style
Back from Atlanta. What an awesome place! I spent my kids birthday at Six Flags White Water, it was awesome and well worth the money. I had Cheesecake Factory twice, and don't judge me. I had a Kobe Burger and then went back for Fish Tacos, never had any Cheesecake though. I had enough deserts with my son's cake (Coldstone Creamery Ice Cream Cake). Hit up the World of Coca-Cola, pretty interesting stuff.
I was able to get in a workout early in the trip. I found a small gym nears my Mother's that had a rack and was able to knock out 5x5 Squats @ 245# and 3x5 Press @ 115#. Other than that I go no workouts in. Basically, I had a full deload week, and that's okay by me.
I returned to the gym Tuesday with some Squatting:
225x5
245x5
265x3
275x2
285x2x1
Along with 3 x max reps - weighted dips @ 15# (8-7-8)
Wednesday went well, I thought..:
Press 3x5 @120#
Deadlift
315x5
335x5
365x2
385x1
Finished with 5x5 T-bar rows @ 135# and 5x5 T-bar press (might be what its called???) @ 90#, no rest between sets.
Meanwhile, the Olympics is happening. Been watching what little coverage of Weightlifting I can, and watching all of the Gymnastic competition. Not much to comment on but its all very inspiring. I WILL say that I was completely disappointing with the rules limiting each country to two participants in the individual all-around. Jordan Weiber outscored all but 4 women who qualified for the final but was not allowed...what a shame!
