Thanks John and Jim! Friday 11 Jan 2008 Deadlift I am ashamed to admit that with the holidays my deadlift training slipped to the wayside so I concentrated on form tonight. My speed is nowhere to be found at the moment.  Deadlift (sumo belt only 315 up) 135/2x8, 225/8, 315/5, 405/3, 365/3x5 Low seated pull close grip 160/10, 170/10, 190/10 Lying leg curl 120/3x12 Standing hammer curl 35/2x10, 40/10 Finished up the workout by chowing down on a bowl of steak soup, 9 oz steak and sweet potatoe.  I meant to check weight over the weekend but had to work and forgot. |

LOL, thanks Jim. I knew someone would call me on that but it's ok, I knew it was high. Honestly, it was the first time I had taken 645 down so I was happy to get as low as I did and back up. ;D 14 January 2008 Squat Our gym is colder than....well, let's just say it's d**n cold in there!  It took a little while to get the blood flowing but things are coming around. Squats (add belt 405 up) 55/3x10, 145/2x10, 235/5, 325/5, 415/3, 465/3x3, 505/1 GHR 3x15 I needed some more assistance work but did I mention it's cold in our gym??? Plus I was starving and needed to feed the machine. I'll slide back in for some assistance later in the week. |

Alabama APF State meet, my parents have been bugging me for a while to visit for something other than a funeral or wedding so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone. ;D From what I have heard Buddy puts on a great meet and it keeps growing every year. Last year he had 97 lifters so it should be good for some competition anyway.
