Shoulders and Back day today. Started off good with a new Press PR - did 150x1 (old PR), 155x1 (PR). Went up easier than I expected. Followed that up with some db rows, some heavy shrugs, and lat pulldowns. I was beat and running late, so I took off.

BTW, Frank, I've moved my morning protein shake to before rather than after the workout. I think it's better that way. I'm no longer walking out of the gym ready to start chewing the bark off the trees.

And they definitely messed with the scale at the gym. Will have to complain next time I see the manager.

I wasn’t even going to workout, But I came home from work tonight mad at the world. To heck with creatine and nitric oxide. Anger is the real motivator. I just kept on going. I was either going to workout all of my frustrations, or end up a pool of jelly on the floor. Let me tell you I’m still mad. If I can stay this angry I’ll be a monster by the end of the summer. The old saying that greed is good is wrong. Anger is good. It clarifies, simplifies, and motivates. Tonight I wanted to stick it in the eye of everybody and every thing that has ever rejected me. Watch out world I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more!!!!:-):-)

...but apparently you can PR every OTHER day. :-)

Went in for squat today. Previous PR = 365.

Warmup and stretching and foam roller

135 x 5
135 x 5
205 x 3
205 x 3
315 x 3
365 x 1
395 x 1 = PR
405 x 0 (had to try)

Followed it up with some banded sumo deads to work my posterior chain a little more (since that's where I failed out).

Hitting that squat PR also helped me reach another goal for this bulk cycle: my 1,100-pound 3-lift total. :-)

I'm gonna eat the sh*t out of some bad food today. :-)

Next week is deload. The week after begins 2 months of clean(er) eating, more cardio, and targeted lifting to address my sticking points. I need to lose some fat, strengthen my chest, and strengthen my ass. :-)

Congrats Dokk! :-) :-)

Off day for me.

Thanks, Admiral. :-)

I'll be taking the weekend off. :-)

From bad food? :-) :-)

Heading to James's on Saturday; so probably not. :-) Just from going in the gym. Monday I started anew and well rested (and well fed). :-)

Kick arse, and please give James my best.

I will be kicking some arse here tomorrow for ya. :-)

Awesome. Do some rows for me ... just reading about what you pump out always makes me tired. :-)

Rows are officially on the agenda for manana. :-)

:-)

Awesome job there Dokk! :-) Congratz on the new PR and the new joint PR!

What does PR stand for?

Personal record.

Sorry for the absence brothers, been feeling a little under the weather. Not sure if it's a cold or whatever, but I've taken off the rest of the week to let things heal and clear up.
Congratz on the PR's Dokk.
Glad things are working out also for ya Pete. I used to workout as soon as I woke up. It was rough without eating. If your going to wake up and just do some cardio, do it fasted. But as far as training goes, do not do without food.

Feel better, Frank.

Hello anybody there.

Always, Don. :-)

Thanks, Frank.

I hope you feel better, soon.
