I do have to spead the legs a bit to make space for those plates!

3 mile walk.

Every time I see your dips I have to remember not to covet your weights. It took me quite a while to work up to unassisted dips. I'm just about ready to add weight. I figure it might be more than a year before I can hit your numbers.

You'll be surprised Joel how quickly you can increase the weight you add once you start doing weighted dips.

Deep Rack Squats
154 x 10
220 x 10
242 x 10
(pushed a bit harder here today, had more in me but split my training pants again)

SLDL
220 x 6
286 x 6
352 x 8, 6
(going to stick at this weight for a while and try to increase reps)

Calf Raises (squat machine, 4" block)
500 x 14, 12, 11

Yep, 'reasonable' sounds right to me. I'm still working on the assisted dips & looking forward to the day when I can do them unassisted. Good wo man.

With your drive and work ethic I have no doubt you'll soon be back where you want to be. Still that's nice bit of iron you're tossing around.

Hi All, had a week off training, combo of a busy week and a horrible head-cold - will get back into it next week.

**joed** · 10-19-2007, 09:13 AM

Been wondering where you were, the thought crossed my mind that Ms. Treehugger had led you off the straight and narrow path.

**Bob45** · 10-19-2007, 12:51 PM

Haven't stopped in here in a while. Workouts are looking strong like usual. Lots of colds in my area too. I had it last week. They drain me. Have a good weekend.

Hi Joe, there's actually been a last minute change of plan - Ms. Tree-Hugger is out and Ms. Perfect Lips is back in the picture in a big way.

Hi Bob, I havent had a cold or flu for years, but this one is still just lingering. Will be back in the gym tomorrow.

**Seosaid** · 10-23-2007, 04:05 PM

Bonjour!

How goes it today?? Are you feeling better?

Hope the cold/flu has left you alone!

Hi Jason

Get well soon, I hope i don't get any viruses from this thread. There again it shouldn't be so bad I am using the work PC and they have antivirus protection.

PS
I played some simultator golf the other day, really great and social.

Enjoy your week
Marcos

Still struggling to get in enough sessions each week. However I'm managing to maintain weight and bodyfat pretty steady at 213 and 10.7%, so can't complain I guess.

Do you need a kick in the butt...? If so I can offer my foot

Now that IS a very tempting offer!!

My training schedule should hopefully return to normal soon. Ms. Perfect Lips lives in a town about 80 minutes from here, and I spend about half the week there - so I've finally bitten the bullet and joined a gym and a golf club over there as well as my gym and golf club in my town. Hopefully three training sessions a week will become regular again.

Hi JD. Long time no see.

Today will be my first workout at the gym I've joined in Ms. Perfect Lips home town - heaps more equipment than my gym, will probably take most of today's session to find everything I need.

First time at a new gym is always fun.
On the plus side, heaps of equipment my other gym doesn't have, and all weights are in pounds (saving me the trouble of converting for you guys). Also it has adedicated decline station, meaning no more Smith machine (excellent). On the down side, it's light on for small plates to increase weight in small amounts and doesn't have a good dip station.
Reasonably pleased with first session here.

**Stenn** · 11-06-2007, 07:33 PM

What's a deep rack squat?

If the gym doesn't have light plates, you can always bring your own. A couple of 2.5 lb plates only add 5 lb to your gym bag.

**jmc53** · 11-06-2007, 10:12 PM

Fair question. I call them rack squats because at one point there were quite a few here doing squats on the Smith machine. I use the word "deep" because I don't go ATG, but not a long way short of that.
Good tip on the small plates - I have plenty at home.
