TRAINING LOG: Andy Crowley

Played some Big Buck Hunter Pro yesterday.

Whooped my kids arse. You're next.

AHahahahahah! So much win. 

I've got the jelly legs. Squart 3x10@275 RDLs 3x10@225 calf raises 3 sets to the pain @ some amount of weight. This weeks workouts have felt very sluggish. Not that anything has been exceedingly difficult, just slower than I'd like. I think my nutrition is what may be affecting my workouts lately. I used to eat a lot of real food and not processed crap or restaurant food. Lots of chicken, venison, fish, rice, fresh fruits and vegetables, but since my daughter came along, I've gotten away from that for convenience sake. As a result, I've lost weight which is not the hot ticket for me and I feel like my strength will be next to go. I'm going to make an effort to start eating better again. Hopefully, in a month I'll replenish my supply of venison. Bang bang.

Threw some puds and sheaf with Luke. Puds felt weird. We haven't five them in years. I haven't anyway. Sheaf was okay. Had a couple good spins.

The deadliftings! 3x10@305. Felt great. Better than last week by a billions. I was crunched for time so I just did 3x10 shrugs with the same weight. Squeezey pause at the top. Then pendlay rows, and neutral grip lat pulls. All done.

Squat testing today. 300x10+ Got 12. Not too bad. I moved on to RDLs 3x10@225,275,275, then calf raises. Today was a sluggish day. I ate a huge breakfast at 7am then had to fast until 6pm for an insurance health assessment dealie at work. Then I went to grizzlies and ate a bowl of chili, brisket sammich, and a loaf of bread plus two cokes. Hit the gym about 15 minutes after feeling very full and bloated, so all things considered, it wasn't too bad.

Halloworkout! Push press test out 10+@165. Got twelve. Pretty meh. Strict press, db shoulder press, cable bent and lateral raises, close grip bench. Post workout meal same as preworkout: Halloween candy.

I wrote a fairly in depth thingie on this morning's workout then my connection timed out and I lost it sooooo...bench 5x8@175 felt great as it should. Db pullovers, weighted dips, curl curcuit. Done.

I schooled Luke on the awesomeness of pullovers the other day and lo and behold there they are on his log the next day. Much like most of his theories on highland games. I say something one day, he and Wade say it's stupid, then Luke suggests the same thing a few weeks later and he thinks he's so smart. Plagiarism I says! I invented everything awesome. Anyhoo, today I squatted and   there was much rejoicing. 5x8@265. I've been using these relatively light weeks to mess with some things and try to refine my technique. Today, I worked on staying tight throughout the motion and also widened my grip width and placed the bar a little lower. About halfway between high and low bar. I likes. Ended with 3x8 on RDLs@225,295,295

Oh yeah.  I seem to memember certain people from a certain place being all Mr. Yuck on deadlifts.

I did deads yesterday morning. 5x8@300. It was easy enough but I had a throbbing headache which made the whole goin up and down thing feel terrible to my head brain. I still have that headache. Stupid jerk. Oh well. I'll bench it away in the morning. I did some shrugs too. 3x10@275. Squeazey top.

Nah I only get those when I poop too hard. Might have neen a migraine. I'm not exactly sure what differentiates a migraine from a bad headache though. All good now though. Bench went well. Luke sent me my workout via text by taking a picture of his laptop screen. I couldn't read it so I just guessed and did 3x8@195. Hopefully that's close to right. After the workout I did one set at 135 until I lost count. I have poor muscular endurance. Then, you guessed it, pullovers! Woot woot. Followed up with dips and various curls. I can barely lift my arms I did so many.

What's a good synonym for "different?"

"Touched?" Is that a Catholic joke? Cuz Pope Frank put an end to all of that.

You won't be laughing when we combine with other busses to form a shorter but still awesome Vultron type robot. That'll learn ya. Anyway, today was push press day. 3x8@170. First two sets felt kinda bad, but on the third, I narrowed my hands, emphasized keeping my elbows high in the rack position, and switched from an open to closed grip. All of this combined to make an awesome snappy happy set. Other lifts today included ohp for warm ups, seated db press 2x8@70s, bradford press 1x20@95, skull crushers 3x10, and pushdowns 3x10.
