I'll get the ball rolling and post my journal on here. I'll keep a similar journal to my bb.net journal.

Went a bit heavy on the rack deads, I haven't deadlifted in months. I'm doing these in preparation for when deadlifts return for the ass kicking of a lifetime.

Front lunges really kicked my ass, haha.

Overall a good day.

Kane3237? ROFLMAO!

You loves those singles don't you?

Great to have your journal here, bud.

Pullups 4x6-10

Neutral Grip DB Press 3x8-10

Biceps 3x8-10

Today was a pretty shitty day, didn't get much sleep and had less than zero energy. I went in and gave it a shot, but to be honest I just wasn't there. I also didn't get any coffee before hitting the gym and I'm sure Eric can relate to the impact of not having a morning coffee lol.

I posted my template for today but not the numbers. The numbers I got were uncharacteristic of me and I don't want anyone to see them lol. With a newer setup I don't know if I'd want to go full throttle right away either. I'd like to see how everything works out before really pushing everything.

Do what you gotta do. It ain't a race to the finish line. It's a marthon.

Who's DerekT?

Oh, heck, that's right. Sorry DEREK. Stop changing your names, dammit I can't keep up!

NO! It's cool. I like it better.

well apparently you can only change your name twice….and i have hit the limit…any way to override that with your mystical powers? :)

NO that's wikidot not me. I wouldn't worry about it.

Hey there, Kane…

December 4th

178lbs

Hack Squat
410x3
425x3
425x3

Still going strong on these. I was tempted to switch them out, but with this kind of progress I can't do that in good conscience lol. I might have even been able to pull 450 today, but I decided against jumping by that much weight.

Pullthroughs
210x9
210x10

Only got 9 reps on the first set…it wasn't because the weight was heavy, it was because the weight was pulling me back and my feet were sliding across the floor!! I had wiped off my shoes and the floor prior to the set, but it still wasn't enough. Overall its pretty cool to be limited by friction and not muscle strength :D

I got the second set because I had my gym partners put their feet against my heels to stop me from sliding. Wasn't the best option since any balance shift wouldve sent me on my ass, but it worked out.

Front Squat
165x6
155x6

165 was a bit too much after the hack squats and pullthroughs so I went back to 155. Progress nonetheless. I still want to keep these on the backburner to work on form and getting used to them.
