Tuesday – Quads/Back/Calves

Front Squat – 210x2x10 (Tried a closer stance and felt a lot more quad involvement and felt a lot easier)

Bent Over Row – 175x2x10

Dumbbell Shrug – 100x2x20

Standing Calf Raise (Machine) – #38×20, #40×20

Daily “Selfie” – Because I did my workout at Shawn Frankl’s Big Iron Gym I couldn’t take my normal daily “selfie”. I did however get a “selfie” in today. This is my Big Iron Gym baseball-style t-shirt. Sleeves are 3/4 length. This is my “going’ out” shirt. Also pictured, my Hammer necklace from Shields of Strength with one of my favorite bible passages on it: PHIL 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Monday – Chest/Arms

Dumbbell Bench Press – 62x2x10

Incline Bench Press – 175x2x10 (This was really hard. Couldn’t seem to find the right position for the bench or rack height. I could prop my feet on anything to get a solid base. I am going to try that weight again next time after I figure out how to get it set up better.)

EZ Bar Curl – 95x2x10

Close Grip Bench Press – 195x2x10

Shoulder Complex – 5x2x10

Daily “Selfie” – This is one of my Christmas presents. It is a t-shirt with one of my favorite hero/anti-heros, the Hulk.

Tuesday – Hamstrings/Back

Well, today was supposed to be deload squats, but I thought I should prepare for the Comet Strength Club Lift-a-Thon. I decided to do some max deadlift instead.

Deadlift – 135×5,225×5, 315×3, 405×1, 455×1

Daily “Selfie” – This is my Accidentally Grabbed A Plain White T-shirt selfie. I do like the fact that it makes my arms look huge.

Monday – Chest/Arms

Well, it was supposed to be a deload day at 50% volume and 90% 1RM intensity. Since we have the Lift-a-thon coming up in a couple days and I have no idea where my maxes are currently, I thought I would train a little differently than programed. Probably shouldn’t have.

Bench Press – 45×10, 135×10, 225×5, 275×1, 315×1, 335×1 (I think I could have gone heavier, but I was lifting alone so no spotter and didn’t want to hurt myself.)

EZ Curls – 95x4x8 (used the Arm Blaster as well)

Daily “Selfie” – This is one of my old school Notre Dame shirts. Again, like a previous post, one of the most storied schools in U.S. history. Every time I head into the Heavy Hammer Gym I have to hit the Play Like A Champion sign. It reminds me that in order to succeed and be a champion I have to train like a champion. Also pictured, my trusty SBD Elbow Sleeves and Stiff, 1m Wrist Wraps. 2015-12-14-05.54.03.jpg.jpeg

This is the next meet I hope to compete in sometime in April. 2015-12-13-11.53.14.jpg.jpeg

Wednesday – Shoulders/Arms

Overhead Press – was supposed to do 165x5x8, just wasn’t happening. I tried dropping it to 155x4x8 like I did last week and couldn’t do that either. I ended up doing 155x4x5

Seated Dumbbell Press – 50x5x8

Hammer Curls – 30x5x8

Dips – bwx5x8

Daily “Selfie” – This is yet another Bro-tank from Wal-mart. This one has one of the infamous predators on it, a great white shark. Also in this photo you can see my trust SBD Elbow Sleeves as well as my EliteFTS Strong(er) Lever Belt. I am unsure if they still sell the belt because I couldn’t find it on their website, http://www.elitefts.com. I bought it about a year ago when it was on sale for around $80.00.

Tuesday – Quads/Back

Front Squats – 200x5x8

Bent Over Rows – 165x5x8

Dumbbell Shrugs – 50x5x20

Daily “Selfie” – This is the shirt I got from my family for my 30th birthday this summer. I know that I am still young by a lot of standards, but I was very nervous about trying to be a competitive strength athlete at 30 years old. I had lifted weights before (HS football, College football, etc.) but never consistently, and certainly never for competition. When I took up lifting to get in shape after my daughter was born (I was 29), I never thought I would be doing it this way. I figured I would weight train to lose weight because I hate cardio. I never, in a million years, would have thought that I would have my own training/diet blog, sell protein powder and other supplements, win two medals and one trophy in powerlifting meets, compete in a strongman contest, compete in a MAS Wrestling tournament, start a strength club and a MAS Wrestling team at my work, and become a certified personal trainer ( I am currently working on the program). This has been one of the best decisions of my life. I am healthier than I have been in a long time, I have goals to work towards, and I am having fun. I just want to take this time to thank the person who has been by my side through my journey of becoming even fatter than I was (I blame her cooking being so good) and completely changing my life. My wife has been a steady support system who let me take over our basement and turn it into a gym, who let me start business ventures in supplements that she didn’t really understand at the time, and who let me drop money into a “hobby” that turned into a new lifestyle. I love you babe!!! (not sure how I got this whole story out of a picture of my t-shirt) 2015-12-08-05.32.26.jpg.jpeg
