Rumble young man rumble

[Quiet Dude]

Thought I'd try keeping a journal. I lift at home alone, so thought you guys could push me, and support me since I don't get it from people at a gym. General info:

Weight: 205
Height: 5'11"
Age: 29
Maxes: Bench=305, Squat=315, Dead=330
Married and have a 3yr old girl.
Have a very physically demanding job.
Like to box, have done a few toughman type events, don't know if I'll do anymore, but I'll keep doing the training(it's fun).

That's about it I guess. I was boxing at a gym, but am currently on midnights at work, so that has gone by the wayside for now. I'll still do drills at home, so I don't forget what I've learned so far. I have a heavy bag, speed bag, jump rope and my shadow. That's about all I need to maintain.

I guess I'll post my workouts from this week so far, then go from there.

Lata'!

Good workout. My rows and clean&presses are getting a lot better. When you see a +2 it means I did 2 rest pause reps. A / means the lifts were super setted.

Random Thoughts:
Feeling real strong today! All the chest stuff felt light, and I tore up the dips! Bi's were ok, that's the first time I've used 100 for reps. My weight was almost 206, but not quit, so I listed it as 205. Did some fun stuff at work yesterday wich has left me with some sore ass hands and forearms(no cracks from the peanut gallery on that :) ). The parts I was making were about 3" in diameter and 4" after I got done pressing them. So all the holding and twisting to look at the part put a hurtin' on my grip.

Nice workouts. Good idea stopping on the squats.

About the sore hands and forearms... nah, too easy. :D

[Quiet Dude]

Thanks for stoppin' in man! Yeah, I payed for that squat. The next day putting on socks and shoes became quite the chore. So I skipped the cardio and drills and rested. It seems to be ok today though :) .

Nothin' to special, just a good solid session. Hope ya'll don't mind I can't get to your journals too much. I don't have much time during the week. I do try to check through them on the weekends though. I was feeling good about my strength at first checking through some of them this weekend :) . Then I realized some of you use metric, so then I was sad :( :p . Have a good one peeps!

Come to my journal. It will make you feel very strong. LOL.
