First half-gassed workout this morning in a long time....Just didn't have any drive. Been making nice gains for months, guess my body is telling me to take a day off tomorrow. Hockey game tonight, so maybe I can sleep in tomorrow before work.

Very nice Dave :-) Maybe we'll inspire you to get into 34's one of these days!

You must have sent the drive to me.. I had a great workout, extra sets and great intensity for me today. We all have off days here and there Pops.

:-) Glad someone found it, Son!

I am not complaining, continuous strength gains for months, everything healthy (knocks on wood)....one bad day ain't gonna bring me down. :-)

I've been golfing nearly every day and taking it a little easier with the lifting. Still getting it in, just not super intense. I am dropping some pounds so it's all good. Glad to hear everyone seems to be kicking ass at the gym!

For today only - http://www.muscleandstrength.com/store/white-flood.html
because I knew some of you use it.

Monday started by 5th week of Rippetoe's SS. Squat is up to 200, deadlift to 230. Presses are still weak, but getting better. Time for a pre-w/o snack before hitting again today.

Added leg lifts (30) to the routine a week or 2 ago. Hurts! But notice a difference in core definition/having a core around the middle vs a tire. Starting to see parts of me that have been buried for many years.

Nice squat! :-)

......wow, I knew my workout was missing something.

Did the math today and some interpretation based upon all the formulas etc.

Start april

260 Lbs. - 34% body fat

Today

214 lbs. - 19.4% body fat

Realistic goal

210 lbs. - 18.1% body fat

If I get a tapeworm

200 lbs. - 13.8% body fat :-)

go with the tape worm dave...

Thinking of joining Wolf Brigade... I need someone to motivate me...

Joined a gym today. Now I need to get some workout clothes.

What time of the day do you all usually take your weight?

I only weigh myself once a week or so, Dan. Day to day flucuations can be based on many factors, and can be either frustrating or an illusion. I think the weekly weigh in will give a truer picture to progress in terms of weight change.

Also remember that sometimes the mirror, tape measure and bodyfat testing are better measures of progress than the scale.

I do the same as Tom for the weighing. Weighing yourself everyday can be a big downer

Thanks Admiral and Christos :-)

Ran 4.5 miles then followed up with 10 sets of 20 yard sprints...

Dumbbell presses, seated barbell presses, standing cleans, barbell shrugs and dumbbell shrugs for me today.

tribute to you im gonna do that after Jiu Jitsu!

then more sprints :-)

Go Gerry Go! :-)
