Running behind this week due to the sun poisoning, but I'm finally up today. I got some rock climbing in tonight and then a workout. I got all 5 of my workouts in last week even though I didn't get around to posting them. Since I'm starting this week on a Thursday I decided to modify my workout schedule to a push day, a pull day, and a leg day. Standard core workout today but I went in and completely improvised the push workout. I never do that so it was kind of fun. Didn't kill myself since I am still recovering. My normal 60 second rest between sets and took me 57 minutes. Core: Renegade Rows 20x5 20x5 25x4 30x3 25x2 Push: Bench 95x10 105x8 105x8 105x8 115x5 OHP 60x8 60x8 60x8 60x9 40x10 40x10 Dips (Assisted) 12 9 9 10 10 9 13 Close-Grip Press 55x8 55x8 55x8 55x8 55x10 55x8

Thanks. I actually fell into the sun, which might be worse than the sick. Took the boys to the beach for the first time. I hate the beach, which is how it is possible to live less than an hour away from it and they haven't been yet. The sand is just a nefariously itchy and sticky version of dirt that is trying to look pretty. I love my boys more than I do myself, which is why I made them wear copious amounts of sun screen and stay hydrated. I, on the other hand, got sun poisoning. After we got back from the beach I only had a few hours until I went in to work. Since I didn't have time for a nap, I felt it would be a good idea to squat and deadlift myself to death. I was a zombie all night at work and got nothing accomplished. Since I got home the other day, I've been in bed alternately sweating and freezing while trying not to throw up. I'm finally out of bed right now but I feel weak as hell. Things should start getting better as I get some more food into me again.

I lol'd. Then I realized that my mind echoed jeans and fur unintentionally while I was reading and that cut my laughter short. I'm not happy with myself about that, but still very funny.

I got the starting pics to resize.

I updated my goals on my second post so I'm all set to go there. 3 hours of rock climbing on Monday. Spent all day today/yesterday (Tuesday) with the boys at Disneyland. It was Thing 2's first trip, Thing 1's third. Lots of fun but hard work. Felt like I was nearly always carrying at least one of them, or at the very least slouching like crazy to hold their hands as we walked around. My back is killing me. Between that and just general exhaustion, I wasn't in the mood for a core workout today. No big deal, since I work my core 4 out of 5 of my lifting days, I'll just pick it up on the next 4. But I am tired, so I'm just glad I got my workout in at all.

Thanks And I think it's the forums.

Hey! Thanks, I might give that a try if the NF gallery doesn't fix. The photobucket thing, not the stucco.

Button shrapnel... must be the result of the sexiest grenade ever which makes it oh so appropriate for this thread.

Thanks!

As far as my specific goals for this challenge: Goal 1: GTG Pullups I can do a couple pullups but I want to get to the point where I'm doing them for reps without needing an assist. So every day that I don't work I'll be busting out small sets as often as possible throughout the day. On days that I work I will settle for doing a set before I leave the house and one when I get home. I'll assign some way of grading this when my head clears, but I'll probably do a required approximate number of sets per week. We'll see. Worth +5 Str. Goal 2: GTG Dips I can do a fair number of full dips without the assist but I'd like to be able to do more without killing myself during my workouts. The pullups are the most important goal but I figured every time I finish the GTG pullups I will do a set of dips as well. Same scheme as above. Worth +5 Str. Goal 3: Work Toward Double Lotus I'm finally going to get back into Jiu-Jitsu! The place I train is 10th Planet, which founded by Eddie Bravo. The 10th Planet system relies heavily on the rubber guard and Bravo strongly suggests being flexible enough to get into double lotus in order to really dominate the rubber guard. So I'm going to shoot for 1 hour a week dedicated to building up to that. Worth +5 Dex. *** Still lifting and eating, just not goals. Starting pics and measurements will be posted when I get a chance.
