GM's: 130 x 10, 10, 120 x 15, 10
HLR: 4 x 15

I'm still having some issues with the pull off the floor once the weight gets to 340. Seems like each time I hit close to that weight I can feel discomfort around my right knee akin to an electric shock like feeling. same thing I get when I would do leg presses. This problem happened recently when I did leg presses a couple weeks in a row and it seems to have moved to the deadlift.

[Derek Simonds]

I hate electric shock feelings. You never really know what they are and it makes you worried that something is going to break.

[Kevin Perry]

Exactly. It's one of those things you really need to keep a steady eye on and take prehab and mobility stuff seriously.

Chins really sucked today and my shoulder was aching so benching kind of hurt too.

7/6

Press: 45x10, 65x8, 85x8, 100x5, 115x3, 130x6, 105x9
BB Row: 115x3x10
Dips: 60x10, 55x10, 45x10
Pullups: 60

I was really tired today, stayed up all night playing mass effect 2 like a nerd and felt a little sick during the workout probably from what I ate earlier. Bodyweight is almost back at 150 and people still think im 170-180, been getting that all week. Crazy.

[Derek Weaver]

It is expected, as an American male, that you will spend the occasional night (the entire night) playing video games, and get a free pass on being called a nerd.

[Derek Simonds]

I am afraid to buy portal 2 just for that reason.

[Kevin Perry]

Haha I've heard good things about portal 2

7/8

Power Clean: 100x8, 120x5, 140x3, 160x5
Deadlift: 170x5, 210x5, 240x5, 285x5, 325x3, 360x7

Bench: 45x10, 100x8, 130x5, 150x5, 170x3, 190x5
CG Bench: 135x5x10
Chins: 60x5, 50x4, 5, BWx5,5,5
Face pulls: 90x20, 100x20, 110x10
Dips: 20,20,10

I think I'm starting to stall on chins, they are getting rough but I really want to hit 100x5 at least so it's going to require some thinking.

Deadlifts and power cleans surprised me. I did not have any knee pain whatsoever so te 360x7 was a very nice PR.

7/11

Squat: 45 x 8, 100 x 5, 145 x 5, 180 x 5, 210 x 5, 240 x 3, 265 x 5, 195 x 15
Leg Curls: 40 x 10, 50 x 10, 60 x 10, 70 x 10, 80 x 10
Ab wheel: 3 x 20

not too bad despite how tired i was today. I was not in the mood for front squats though so later this week i'll throw some in maybe.

I'm finding my own thoughts on "training experience" or "what i've learned" type of stuff lately, I'll post that some other time when I collect everything. Pretty amazing how far you can take your training if your pretty relaxed in life even if you only train an exercise once a week or throw in some higher frequency stuff. Or if you stop obsessing over certain things it's pretty cool where you may find yourself a couple months down the road in PR's, etc.
