Thx! I'm enjoying deadlifting more frequently than I was before. Still not in love with the Bench but also liking OHP'ing more than I was before. :-)

You manage to find your way back to the gym, Tom? :-)

Nope...have another trip coming up end of the week, so I plan to hit it twice before Friday, then back at it Monday. I think once a year or so my mind must get in this funk to give my body a break, Charlie.

Fair enough man, if you don't deload every once in a while you'll lose your mind (and body) :-)

I just didn't have it in me today to get to 405 today, much less rep 365 for more than 2. I've been super gassed lately. Maybe I need to take Tom's queue and just take a rest week from everything but my SED (and go light and low on that).

Either way ... shoulders today

Arnold Press - 1x10 @ 40lb dumbbells & 3x8-10 @ 55lb

btw, huy, i just read your signature for what is apparently the first time ... lol

Listen to your body, Charlie. You know if you need a break.

My problem is when I take a break, sometimes I take too long to get back. That's what happened this time...but I know once I roll in, I'm back 100%.

Deadlift day and I'm running a fever. Wish me luck boys.

Charlie, your 230 Ohp is seated or standing? If that's standing OHP that is impressive.

Oh good heavens, seated. LOL
I guess i should have specified that.
Recently i've become interested in stuff like the cleans, clean & jerk, etc ... you do any of those movements?

I've actually never gone for a standing OHP max. :/

Tom - yeah, i have a hard time peddling back, but I prob need to deload here soon.

Ken - get it man! Just don't hurt yourself or tax your CNS so much that you can't recover from your illness. Best of luck man! UUUUUP! :-)

Charlie I'm into olympic lifts like that. Watch a lot of youtube and read whatever you can if you aren't going to hire a trainer. I made the biggest gains on oly lifts when I had a trainer who was watching my technique closely. Pyrros Dimas, Dmitri Klokov, and The videos from Barbell Shrugged are really good references (and the first two names will give you some good motivational videos if you take nothing else away :-))

I rarely do seated pressing. Is it easier? I do some pressing while sitting on the floor with my feet out and that is super hard.
[Reply]

I do follow Klokov, that's where I incorporated Klokov presses. But as far as Oly, I don't do much. I think it's awesome stuff but not for me. It's extremely techniquel and impressive.

I fall into the more hybrid kind of lifter.

Legs and shoulders today. I hit legs hard this week already so I kept it simple.

Leg extensions 7x10-15
Front squats 6x8
Leg press roc-it machine 7x15-20

Klokov presses 5x6-7
Arnold presses -- DB side delt raise 4x10-8
Cable side delt raise 5x10-12
Rear delt flies -- front plate raises 5x12-15

So are you guys ready for this?
I'm on my last set of deadlifts last night and I feel something tweak in my back so I sit down. All of the sudden my legs start spasming and my back is seizing up with the worst pain I've ever felt. I wound up having to call an ambulance and spent the night at the hospital. Now I'm laying in bed and it's a struggle to move, everything hurts to the point that I had to bite my pillow to get out of bed. Be careful out there guys.

The saddest part is it was my warm up set, go figure.
