Good workout today...dropped dips and rollouts in favor of push ups and jumping rope.
21, 15, 9 Circuit Day
21 reps each 1st round
15 reps 2nd
9 reps 3rd
each round:
Front Squat (135 lbs)
Push Press (95 lbs)
Pullups
Push ups
After that I did 5 sets of jumping rope, with a 20 sec rest in between sets. Each set was 10 normal jumps immediately followed by 20 double unders as fast as possible. I like lowering the weight and increasing the reps so far, because it really is allowing me to become solid in my front squat and pressing form.

Good Day
Today's already turning out to be a badass day...had a fvcking awesome workout, mowed the yard afterwards before I even walked in the house, and I'm tired, but not exhausted. Feeling goooood. Finally had a go at going heavy on the front skwats and this is how it turned out..I don't think I'll be doing back squats for awhile..I fvcking love the front squat, when you go heavy on it, it's the most excruciatingly brutal movement you can do

It felt hard, in the sense that there was a constant tension that never let go, unlike that weird springy feeling when I'm lifting weight that's lighter and not too hard for me. It was weird actually, my body felt like it couldn't get to 5 or even 6, but my mind sort of overrode my body and said LIFT THIS WEIGHT! haha. I do believe it is a rep PR...come to think of it rep PRs almost feel better than a 1RM PR. Probably because a rep PR means you are gaining more control over the weight rather than putting all your might into 1 single rep. And it usually means a 1RM PR is well on it's way.Krueg said:
Got my leg workout in for today, my car died in the parking lot of the optometrist, and I had to push it a couple thousand feet to my mechanic's garage. Whoooooooooooooooooooooo weeee my quads are on fire. My brother was helping me push, but it was still hard as it's an SUV that weighs probably 4,000 lbs. Now I'm heading up to the gym to get a quick upper body circuit in before work.

Nice work w/ the car pushing... now where's my 405 trap bar pull? 
Try the trap bar man... I promise you'll like it!

Look back a few posts and you'll see I made it up to 395 on the trap bar...attempted 400 and backed off due to fatigue.
Anyway, circuit was changed today due to unforeseen circumstances

If you currently have too many women chasing you, calling you, harassing you, knocking on your door at 2 o'clock in the morning... then I have the simple solution for you.
Just read my free ebook 22 Rules for Massive Success With Women and do the opposite of what I recommend.
This will quickly drive all women away from you.
And you will be able to relax and to live your life in peace and quiet.

Great bench and front squat!!! 285 on fronts is very respectable! I don't think I could do it right now actually!
Didn't see your attempt on the 405, sorry... Keep in mind most trap bars weigh 60-70 lbs depending on how long the parts are where you load the weights. My personal trap bar is 60, and the one at the gym is 70. You might have lifted more than you think you did!

Thanks guys!
No real purpose to today's lift....was planning on doing deads, but as soon as I woke up I said fvck that because I was still feeling those rack pulls from yesterday, and the fronts...so today was a mixed bag of lifts done a little heavier than normal
Heavy Day (?) round 2
Dips(with 60 lb dumbbell)
5 sets of 6
Pullups(with 20 lb chain around my neck)
5 sets of 6
Cable Crossovers
12 x 40 lbs
12 x 40 lbs
12 x 50 lbs
12 x 60 lbs
Barbell Shrugs
10 x 225 lbs
8 x 275 lbs
6 x 315 lbs
Hammer Curls
10 x 45 lbs each hand
10 x 50 lbs
15 x 30 lbs
The dips really helped stretch out the lower back and get rid of some tension and soreness, but other than that, the only thing that was good about today was that I at least did stuff. Now off to the store to get some protein....funny that the several days I don't have any protein are the days where I make all kinds of gains lol

So exhausted...I feel like a thin napkin waving in the wind...
Circuit Day
Back Squat (225 lbs) - 8 reps
Pullups - 10 reps
Dips - 10 reps
Ab rollouts - 10 reps
4 rounds
Looks no different than my other circuits....the big factor that exhausted me today was the fact that I got it done in 15 minutes..wasn't even going for speed, just happened to go ballz to the wall. A good circuit done right really is a whole other beast entirely when compared to a conventional workout
