First day of back squats since that other thing.

Squats today...6x5w/365. No problem at all.

Went for a 30 minute jaunt on the dreadmill. Twenty seven minutes in, the TV in front of my station starts in on the "Christmas puppies for special needs kiddos" program.

Three minutes...I can make it.

Almost did. The emotion and tiny tears on the face of a little girl with DS who received her first puppy...a St. Bernard. Her parents were weeping. The audience was weeping.

For Christmas she wanted "friends."

Jesus Christ that hurts my soul. And yes, I stumbled out of the base gym sobbing.

Since y'all are basically family, I want to introduce the newest, smallest, and sleepiest, member of the McCallum family...my niece Elle Victoria McCallum. Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes...I could not be more proud of my brother, Ryan, or his wife, Michelle.

Roslik...thanks man.  If it makes you feel any better, I'm not getting any tougher either.  I know my limitations and that kind of thing just happens to be one.  Being the strongest fella at Curves though, I can cry and no one says sh*t.
 
Tom...as always, thank you for your example.  And for Amanda, The Destroyer, and Medium Duncan.  How is the vertical training coming along?
 
TRob...thanks.  I think?  I'll be up there soon...are we going to get together and train, or at the very least sit around and talk trash about Rob "Picard is the ONLY Captain of the Enterprise" Murdaburg?

So dumb. I finished. Barely.

DB incline 5*10w/105s.

Just dawned on me...my log is five years old. Seems like such a long time since that first Iron Thistle.

Squats today...been kinda under the weather so I thought I'd sweat it out.

Worked up to a heavy paused triple. Not paused on purpose lol.

Hanging abs x100 on three sets.

20 minute jog.

Stop me if you've heard this one:
 
"Do this 3-4 times a week and you won’t fall into the trap of being normal. You’ll be strong, healthy and in shape. You won’t make New Year’s resolutions because you’ll be living it every day. You can eat that final piece of pie and not count carbs because you just ran 20 hill sprints for the third time this week. You can wake up and not feel like shit because you’ve actually taken the time to foam roll and stretch. You actually have some traps from deadlifting. You don’t fall for fitness trends, because you know what works. You stop caring what people say on the internet, because you’re always making progress. You’re always moving forward toward something. 

People ask you how to train, and you answer, “I look at what you do, and then I do the exact opposite.” 

You’ll actually be able to move because your feet will be fast from jumping rope. You won’t be out of breath all the time. You’ll be able to take on any physical activity you want. You’ll be different once you’ve spent time straining to get a rep PR in the squat or pushed a Prowler for 40 minutes. Dealing with the idiots at work or your boss will no longer be an issue. It’s hard to bring a man down after he’s had three weeks of personal records in the gym. It’s hard to get mad at the guy who cuts you off in traffic after you’ve left your lunch on top of the hill after bear crawling up it. Who cares about all that meaningless stuff? When your training and your life are moving forward, you certainly won’t. 

It doesn’t take a lot to do this. You already give 8-10 hours a day to your boss and to your work. To boredom and to people and organizations that couldn’t care less about you. Then your family and friends get the rest of your time. 

What about you? Do you really think so little of yourself that you can’t sacrifice an hour or two, 3-4 days a week, for yourself? This “me” time isn’t spent shopping, watching TV or getting on the internet. You’re spending it reinvesting in your body, building strength, and building character. Kicking ass and training consistently – and with some balance – will do wonders for both your body and your mind. 

Get rid of all the meaningless crap in your life and your training. Get rid of the things that bleed your energy in the weight room and in life. What’s better for you? The Prowler or a stroll on the treadmill? What do you think is going to make you better? 

Don’t fall for the crap that people are peddling on message boards, in magazines or on TV. Get your s*** in order, and get your training in order. Start kicking ass, and take out the crap that doesn’t matter. Start doing and believing in the stuff that works, and do it today and forever. You want science and studies? F*** you. I’ve got scars and blood and vomit. 

This is a call to arms for some of you. It is for me, too. Stop all the things that make you a p**** and steal your energy. Get your life back."

I was going to repost "The Iron," but I've quoted that often enough for one year.
 
Maybe someone will read the above passage from Wendler and make a positive choice for their 2015.

Didn't tell you anything you didn't already know Shawn.

Squats today. Triples up to 455. Three there, then two at 475. Finished the heavy stuff with two 500 singles; the first was parallel and the second was fully legit. No one else in the gym so there was some noise.

Stripped it to 405 for 5, dropped it to 315 for 10, and then 225 for 20. No rest.

DB Incline 8x10 w/100's.
100 pushups in 3 sets.
Mile jog.

Done son!
