Friday Weigh-in

I've decided to start weighing myself at work every Friday as a way to keep track of my weight loss and gain. I left all of my clothes on and didn't empty my pockets, so you can probably always take a few pounds off of these measurements, but as long as I'm consistent with my procedures I will be able to tell if I am losing or gaining.

Today's weight: 174.8

And the training for 10/28/2011-
Push press:135x1, 145x1, 155x1, 165x3

Blogging Again- 10-17-2011

I have a renewed ardor for updating this blog as I am officially in training for PL again. The last... long time can best be described as f***ing off, but I am on a professionally designed program again with an eye toward competing in the spring. At the moment I am attempting the unusual feat of training for PL without a bench or squat stands, so no bench press and only front squats until I remedy that. I have been watching craigslist.com for deals, and in the meantime I am just looking at taking all my lifts from the floor as a way to keep it old school and build basic strength and GBA (General Bad-Assedness) before undertaking the more sport specific training. Here is what I did yesterday-

Pr: 110x5, 110x5, 110x5, 110x5, 110x5
FS: 170x5, 170x5, 170x5, 170x5, 170x5
DL: 170x3, 185x2, 205x1, 255x5

Rest for all sets was about 3:30. I set the gymboss for a repeating 4:00 minute countdown and started a new set at every beep.

Meant to do some gripper work, but had left my grippers at the office. (See f***ing off, above.)
