Whats Up? Heres what I did today.

squats
135X10
225X6
315X3 lifting belt
365X3 lifting belt
385X3 knee wraps + belt
405X3 knee wraps + belt

I was only going parallel after I started my 3 heavy sets

sumo deadlifts
135X10
225X8
315X5
405X1

box squats (bench squats really because my gym doesnt have boxes for this)
225X6
235X5
235X6
245X5
250X5

rope crunches on my knees
80 pounds X10
70 lbs.X12
70 lbs.X15
80 poundsX15

Thats it for today. This took me approximately 2 hours. I talked a little too much. My friend had some funny stories about his ex-wife. He keeps me laughing. I was satisfied with today's workout. At times I get down on myself for improving so slowly. I really wanna set records someday and I hope I get that chance. Even if I dont, I'll just keep trying my hardest, thats all I can do I figure. Well take care everybody and thanks so much for reading my logs.

Hahaha. Thanks Bob. The way I was benching last week got me down. Having a good spotter can help. I think that was the difference and me wanting to prove myself after a crappy benching week last week. Thanks Bob. :)

Then I went home and walked 1.5 miles.

I still had some energy after my walk so I went to my basement and got a 25 pound dumbell and did 10 sets of 10 reps for each arm, bicep curls. Thats it for today.

Thats it for today. Took me about 2 hours. I usually get bombarded with spot requests on Fridays but only had to give one spot today. Not many people at the gym today as today was a warm sunny day. I was glad because I wasnt bsing and spotting and was able to get a great workout. Everybody seems to bench on Fridays at my gym. Its not fun spotting everybody that asks but I think its rude to say no. Well I am so looking forward to taking tomorow and Sunday off my lower back is killing me. Take care and thanks for reading everybody.

I cant believe I've been at this **** for 12 years and thats as far as I've got. I guess I should be happy but Im not. Well thats it for today.

Thats it for today. My bench is slowly making progress. In October I was benching 375X1 so I'm trying to get back there and push ahead to 400 pounds. I dont understand why my bench regressed so much a month or two ago I was struggling to get 315X1 and 325X1. Maybe perhaps training bench twice a week is too much for me. Im not sure about that. I think Im taking tomorrow off. Thanks to everyone who read this.

Congrats on the skwat PR, Mike. Nothing to be not happy about. Think about it for a second: you put a bar, weighing 405 lbs on your shoulders, and you squatted with it. Then, you did it again!

There's not many people in the world who can say they did that.
