Got Wood? Woody's Lifting Journal

[Woody-5]

those front squats looked TOO Easy sir


and why weren't you wearing your helmet during the ab wheel?

Lmao, I'll get out the helmet when I try the one leg standing reps that you've been requesting

Fronts did feel pretty damn easy except the last one. Far lighter than that 300 pound fail last week

nice work! 240 for 3 is awesome, now I understand your 'food' comment.

seems like we both 'off' and 'hungry' today..

c'est la vie, tomorrow we will crush it

Thanks mate!
I'm so famished right now lol I'm making a boss steak and cheese calzone. I'll try to take pics, but I may forget and just eat it

Wednesday 3/7/12

Feeling off today and almost skipped this session. I was in meetings all day at work and I was so stiff by the time I got home it felt like my hams and lower back were all balled right up in my glutes. I also didn't have crap to eat today except a shake this morning and a banana right before I got home. Luckily a good bit of foam rolling loosened my legs up a bit so I could lift

i am hav ing chicken nuggets and fries lol. it is mine and my daughters "meal" when my wife isnt here for dinner

the main reason being the directions are on the bag so not even i can fuk it up too bad

[The Shoeless Wonder]

that thing needs some sauce!

[matt297]

nice front squats cap'n!

im not so sue about your standing ab wheel though

Looks like your knees drop considerably on the way back, so im not sure if that means your abs aren't actually doing the work. Maybe an expert in the ab wheel can correct me?

Thanks mattress!
Agreed, not my best Ab wheel set for sure. I think I took long of an ROM to start. Abs have DOMS this morning so they did something tho

[Ironlife]

That food looks delicious man, and damn good front squats too fella!

Trying to carb up and give myself rest mate, want to be 100% when maxing bench

[Juggernaut0]

Gettin heavier and heavier on those fronts man. Nice job. 300 will be no prob.

Thanks mate! Food was excellent for sure! Fronts felt surprisingly easy considering how sore and tight everything felt beforehand. I can't wait to max bench! I'll do a light session today or tomorrow, some light paused reps then some high rep triceps work. Monday I'm gonna hit 265 then go from there. If all goes well I'll
take a run at 275

Thanks fella! Few more weeks and I'll have another go at 300. Id like to hit 250 3x3 first

[Ironlife]

Id say ud be close to 270+ to be honest. 265 sounds a good conservative number though

[Woody-5]

I've found it best to be conservative on bench 1RM attempts. Squat and dead I can usually go higher than the Max calculator but bench I'm better off going 5-10 pounds under.
265 would mean I got back to where I was last fall +5 pounds.

[pezking7p]

That thing looks good. You put any spices in it? There's this place near here where they make these lebanese meat pies, if I could figure out how to spice the filling like those it would be soooooooo good.

mouth = watering.

[TKD]

Very nice journal Woody! Nice FS triple mate! I see you have your own gym I have mine in the garage. Can't beat it can ya? Never could stand the day to day stupidity in the public gyms.

I haven't maxed on FS for a long time now, may have to see where I'm at on those.

Really spend some time stretching out my hips this morning and I think it helped with my depth- I really buried these. No real grinders at all. Check out the vid of the 1st set- I was amped up and went to swing under the bar and cased my dome right off it. Lost my bearings for a few seconds but I still banged out the set lol

RDLs
135 x 8
235 x 8
235 x 8
235 x 8
Last set felt the best form wise. Will probably add 10 pounds next week again

235 x 10 +30 x BW

Bench
45 x 10

165 x 5
185 x 2 (All 185 paused reps)
185 x 2

185 x 2
missed Thursday's session so I hit up some light doubles here to get some blood flowing before I max Monday.

Ab Wheel
knees x 10
standing (no barrier) x 10
no barrier to bump into so it made the standing reps hard as hell. Made it a point to keep my knees straight (Thanks Mattress!)

[TKD]

Very nice session there Woody! Killed those squats mate, good depth on all reps.
Sorry, but I couldn't help LOLing when you smacked your head like that....done that myself many times lol



Yeah, things have gotten real cold at times in my garage this winter. The coldest was about -10c

[matt297]

Haha! nice squattng. Ab wheel is hard as hell with nothing to rebound off!

[MatTheCur]

You may inherit Mr. Strongmad if you keep up like this... Lookin' fantastic!

THanks mate! gotta keep up with my stretching so I can bury them squats!
Lol, that was a good knock on the dome for sure. I saw stars for a minute but I knew it would make for some excellent television on youtube

Haha! nice squattng. Ab wheel is hard as hell with nothing to rebound off!

[Juggernaut0]

Thanks fella! Squat felt strong. Needed to start things off with that head bump to clear the cobwebs lol

[Ironlife]

Great session bro, i love how squats seem to look better and better the more you do them. Nice work getting in some bench sets, will pay off nicely on monday

[PeterGibbons316]

Hilarious bonking your head. Looked easy, but watch those knees coming forward - 3rd rep of first set in vid looked the worst.

[400Lb Gorilla]

lol nice work Wood! next time try not to bump your head.... i thought you were going to throw the hat in anger for a second solid work all the way through but that ab wheel is getting fukking joooocy as fawk
