Max Power Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 How's the clean shaven face treating you? That's a negative ghost rider. I lifted last Thursday, nearly died half way through the workout. Friday I proceeded to write up a lovely post, it was very heartfelt and moving, you would have cried. The internet proceeded to eat said post and I rage quit. Saturday my body was too broken to handle anything heavy, so I did some stretching/yoga and called it a day.

Max Power Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Max is back! WOO! Following here while I wait for a current challenge thread I think I'm going to use this as my primary source of info for this challenge. It'll be my penitence for dropping my last few challenges half way through. I woke up around 4:00 this morning unintentionally, I went ahead and got up at 4:30, made some coffee and did a little cleaning around the house before I went out to the garage. 6/10/15: DL: 75 X 5165 X 5215 X 5255 X 3255 X 3255 X 3255 X 3255 X 3 These went up easy enough, but something felt off about my setup, I think my cheap bar has different knurling than I'm used to. That's something I'll have to remember for the future. After that I had a nice big breakfast. I was hungry most of the day yesterday, my body isn't used to expending that much energy early in the mornings anymore. I'm going to try and up my meals today so I'm not scrambling to put some snack together at 8:00 at night to help me hit my macros. 1 Quote The path to Swolehalla is paved with a lot of Swolehate, and you won't get there without being Swole of Spirit too.

Max Power Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 No workout this morning, I moved furniture instead. We ordered a new bedroom set a few weeks ago and they called yesterday wanting to deliver it today. I'm getting back in the habit of tracking my food again. Yesterday was pretty good, my protein was low, I could have added a shake in, but I wasn't confident in my bbq nacho calories I had made for supper (it was sort of a leftover smorgasbord). I ate a smaller breakfast this morning, because some of us from the office are planning on eating at Five Guys for lunch, I knew that would be a big calorie bomb. To top that the boss brought in donuts today and since there is work being done in the lab (which is basically our breakroom, we're disgusting) my desk became their home. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to show them how foolish that plan was. 6/10/15 Cal: 2,466 / 2,527C: 211 / 221F: 104 / 98P: 167 / 190 1 Quote The path to Swolehalla is paved with a lot of Swolehate, and you won't get there without being Swole of Spirit too.

Max Power Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 6/12/15 Front Squat Friday: Warmups Goblet Squat: 20 X 10 Front Squat: 45 X 1075 X 8105 X 5 HBBS:185 X 2185 X 2185 X 2185 X 2185 X 2 This workout was kind of inspired by a few things. I'm starting JDanger's Dangerous Method next week, and I haven't front squatted lately, right now it looks like my wrists and the bar digging into my delts are going to be my sticking points, which is good. I can fix those two things fairly quickly. That made me feel good, so I just went ahead and did some more squats for poops and giggles. Yesterday's food went a bit overboard, I kind of knew it would with eating at five guys, but that had been on the books for a while.

Max Power Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 front squat friday!! love it It just seems right, doesn't it? Oh there you are! Good plan to just get back into the habit first. It can be very motivating Nice lifts! HBBS = high bar backsquat? Thanks! You are correct, I figure I'll differentiate since I have multiple squat forms moving forward. Monday 6/15/15 Workout: Danger Method Day 1 (sort of): Warmups: As prescribed plus arm swings. Bench: Floor Press: 10 X 455 X 705 X 705 X 803 X 9510 X 9510 X 9510 X 95 HBBS: 45 X 10100 X 5100 X 5120 X 5140 X 3135 X 10120 X 10120 X 10120 X 10 Good Mornings: 95 X 595 X 595 X 5 I haven't done sets of ten as working sets in years. My legs may never forgive me for this workout, not to mention that I've got seven more workouts of the same type before this block is over. As for as the Bench Press goes, it was changed to floor press because I never got around to building my bench this weekend. My Saturday was filled with yard work, then the weather turned bad and I just sort of shut down for the day. Once I get the bench complete I can add the GHR's into my work too. I didn't track my food this weekend, I didn't have anything planned and just sort of snacked through the days. It was a bad idea on my part. Back to work today though!

Max Power Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I was sick yesterday, had a headache most of the day and just felt like I was in a fog. I feel better today, but it affected my workout this morning. It was taking me a long time to recharge between sets, so I ended up cutting it short. So Danger Day 2 was a bust. I got through most of the overhead work, and a few sets of 10 of the deadlifts, but ran out of time to finish up anything else. I also forgot to take a picture of my notebook, I'll try and remember to do that tomorrow and I'll add it in with tomorrow's workout.

Max Power Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Did the headache go away next day? Want to see how this danger day programming works out!All weights in lb or kg btw? Everything is in pounds right now, I'm keeping it light until I get back in the groove. The last couple of weeks have kind of kicked me around, hopefully the Danger method will start next week. I seriously have commented on this before. I swear. I must have. Welcome aboard! I'm not scared... Quick update: I've been doing a lot of traveling the past couple of weeks, which has worn me out. And my grandmother passed away last week, so I was on the road for her funeral. I was hoping to get things back on track this week, but I couldn't ever get comfortable yesterday, I was in the garage for over an hour and really only did warmup routines and mobility. I do feel better today though, so that did seem to help some. I'm planning on getting back out there and lifting in the morning, but if I'm still feeling tight, I'll just keep it light, but I would like to get under the bar at least a little bit this week.

Max Power Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Thanks for the kind words folks, it means a lot to me! I did manage a couple of small workouts last week, but now I'm back for the real deal. Squats:BWX1020 X 10 (goblet squat)45 X 1075 X 5105 X 5135 X 5165 X 5165 X 5195 X 3BW X 10BW X 10BW X 10 OHP: 45 X 1065 X 585 X 5105 X 5 I took everything slow this morning and gave myself plenty of rest between sets, my legs are a little bit jelly as it is, so I think that was a good call. I had hoped to do more for OHP, but I ran out of time, that's something I'll have to work on as I get back into this. 1 Quote The path to Swolehalla is paved with a lot of Swolehate, and you won't get there without being Swole of Spirit too.

CourtnieMarie Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 i like it! i would also run out of time. and stamina. 3x10s for warmups? even if the weights are light, that sounds like a lot! but probably beneficial. i should probably be doing that. damnit.
