Got Wood? Woody's Lifting Journal

[MatTheCur]

I have love for the 80's. I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but men made music in the 80's too. You know, manly men with long flowing hair and tight leather pants.


This. Oh wait, I'm only a month younger than Woody hahaha.

There was a special on MP (I'm with a French Canadian... I don't get to watch MM, lol) about the lost decade of Glam rock and Power Ballads. It was nice to see a die-hard metal fan from today go back and visit RATT (among many many others), to figure out WHY Glam rock came about, and how it influenced modern rock.

because he's not old

Don't you know to respect your elders?

Nice sesh Woodman! How did the set of 235 on bench feel?

Thanks jugg!
235x5 was easy, 6 or 7 RPE

Hey Woody, great journal you've got going here. Your last chest day has me pumped to hit chest later today!

Thanks fella!

No worries, I have a vast collection of hair bands in my music library. 80s right into the early 90s

Then nirvana came along and ruined music.

Eeeesh ... It wasn't JUST Nirvana. Nor did they really start the "grunge" movement.

Yum 30 pack of beer grilling and divisional round of football? Win...

How the heck do you grill out there isn't it freezing right now?

You turn on the BBQ, brush it, oil it, toss your foodstuffs on, then go inside for a while? Same as during the summer, except you don't stand around drinking booze the entire time.

Though I do. Just toss on a coat/toque and go.

I love doing squats three times a week, although I usually do pretty light two out of three days then just the one true leg day

I am going to do everything in my power to become a mod, then give you negs for life.

Roll the grill to the edge of the garage and fire it up regardless of what the weather is doing!
And if you drink enough beforehand you won't even notice the cold

Dave grohl was the only talent in that group.

I wonder how the drummer of the foo fighters feels being the second best drummer in the band

Yeah, I actually agree. Fun fact: Dave Grohl re-recorded the drums himself on The Colour and the Shape which pissed off the drummer who then quit as a result.

Wednesday 1.16.13- Intensity Squats & Back

decent session! I was worried going in- spent the better part of an hour trying to get the plow straightened out on the truck. I put it on last night, but one of the pins missed the hole and I didn't notice because the kids were getting off the bus so I was chatting with them. The missus went to wait for the bus in it this morning and noticed the plow hanging half off. She still drove it to the end of the driveway, so things were pretty jammed up in there. It took a fair amount of wrestling to get it de-attached then put back on straight. Guess I should pay more attention next time


Squats
135 x 5
185 x 5
225 x 3
265 x 1
300 x 5
first time having 300 on my back since 11/23/12. I nailed all 5 without any trouble. Had to exert a bit of effort on the last rep, but nothing too bad

BB Rows
135 x 5
175 x 5
205 x 8
205 x 8
205 x 10
90 second rest. felt better than last week

Deadlifts
225 x 5
315 x 1
325 +60 Chains x 5 (touch and go)
squats beforehand made these a bit more challenging. I did them touch and go which is a bit easier off the floor, but it kept constant tension on my back & core

Poundstones
45 x 25
I could care less about putting any effort into these after deadlifting lol

[GinjaNinja85]

It's funny that in that workout right there, you just done my squat PR and poundstone curl PR. On squats though, when I done it, it nearly flattened me

Nice work.

I'm reading his book Never Let Go: A Philosophy of Lifting, Living, and Learning. It's a pretty good read so far.

Nicely done sir! Way to crush it

Squats before deads ... sounds familiar

Awesome stuff Woody! You had at least one more rep at 300 and the chained deads looked too easy.

Nice job on the smooth squats. Probably nice to put weight on your shoulders again, eh?

The back thing was barely an injury- more of minor one week setback. Things are feeling back to normal now!

Thanks dude
Felt a tad heavy unracking but after the first rep everything came together nicely
