COMMENTS:
I didn't take too long of rest between sets of squatting, so I felt I improved a bit by not needing so much rest. Other days I will need more, but today I didn't need much. Bench press was heavy, but all reps were pretty crisp. My current bench press PR is 3x5x140, so I'll be looking to match that on Saturday.

damn cj you're moving quick...

I told you you'd be back up further than you were within like 3 months

gjdm

i haven't been around for a while i got a month ban

[r_graz]

Thanks, Ron. I can't stand getting scabs on my shins, because sooner or later they always open back up. I've been considering to wear pants, but I'd only want to wear the kind pictured in Starting Strength, 2nd Edition. I've never really came across those, though.

You mean the full length training tights?

Go to a store or website that sells cycling gear. Basically cycling shorts, but full length.

COMMENTS:
I had my first missed rep today since getting back on SS in October. I used more back than I wanted for the second set of press, so I decided I wouldn't use any on the last set. I ended up getting one of my shins bloody on my third set of power cleans, so the last two sets I didn't keep the bar as close to my legs as I normally would.

You mean like these



yes big_fuzzy btw

I just started c&j'ing myself and have been ripping up my shins, more recently I've been keeping my legs very narrow like right where the bar is smooth in the center

most people jerk and then clean themselves.

Nooo,

I vacuum and look at JB

thus, clean and jerk.

Good job on the PR's CJ. After you match that bench pr, it's all new pr's from there. .

Thanks, Vic. As do I.

Thanks, Matt. It's almost been two months since getting back in the gym, so even quicker than you thought.

Yeah, they are Adidas pants that are somewhat tight, but not like spandex.

You mean like these

No, not that tight. Those are about the tightness of the sports underwear that I wear to workout in, though.

This was a f*cking awesome workout due to the circumstances. I've been sick the past few days, and I wasn't even going to go today, but I changed my mind at the last second. I'm now very glad I went.

Very impressive work. I'm glad the micro plates are working so well for you.

Get better soon

Lol Way to go CJ!! woo! Your deadlift is getting really strong, keep it up.

[vicjg]

Nice work all around CJ.

[mjw8204]

The train just keeps on rollin'. That workout is especially impressive for being sick. Way to suck it up and get things done.

I'm looking forward to seeing you press 100 next time.

[BaFtub]

I notice I tend to hit more PR's when sick/other difficult circumstances. Lets ya focus more imo. Almost at 225 dude!

[RipCJ]

Thanks, PokLim. If anyone feels they don't work for bigger lifts like squats, I feel my progress would be a decent example showing they do work, at least for some.

Way to cowboy up, CJ. Good gains!

Thanks, Tim.

Lol Way to go CJ!! woo! Your deadlift is getting really strong, keep it up.

Thanks, Johnny. I'm going to cut my increases to 5 lb/week for deadlift. That is assuming I get all 5 reps each week.

Nice work all around CJ.

Thanks, Vic.

Thanks, Matt. Finally all of my lifts are in the triple digit range.

Thanks for stopping by, Brett. Although it might work for you, I hope I'm not sick again anytime soon.

COMMENTS:
Squat form wasn't anything special, but I'm happy I got all the reps. The bar speed for bench press was slow throughout all sets, and I just didn't have enough in the tank to get the last rep of the last set.

[Arlecchino]

How is your rest and diet?

[mjw8204]

No worries, CJ. Just one missed rep. Good job today.

[RipCJ]

How is your rest and diet?

My rest has been decent, but my diet hasn't been anything to be proud of the past few days. I've been sick, I went to Taco Bell yesterday for a quick dinner, and have been slacking on my protein shakes. I feel better today, and have eaten better as well. I drink milk with everything I have, usually.

No worries, CJ. Just one missed rep. Good job today.

Thanks for the encouragement, Matt. My squat and deadlift goals are going to be reached within the next few weeks, but my bench press goal will give me a hard time.

Shake(s)?

How many a day as opposed to real food?

[RipCJ]

Shake(s)?

How many a day as opposed to real food?

I guess I should have said protein drinks. I will normally have two a day, which consist of 8 oz of milk and 1 scoop of whey. On days I workout (Tue/Thu/Sat), I will have a steak for dinner. Other dinners throughout the week are a chicken breast twice, usually a roast chicken on Sunday. Another day will be spaghetti. My lunch is normally a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or two of them. I will also sometimes have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich after my workout.

[BaFtub]

Eat more... Whats your actual diet look like if I dont mind seeing?

[mjw8204]

I'm curious - are you guys asking CJ these questions because he missed a rep on bench press, or because you're just wondering in general?

[bango skank]

Nice workout CJ. You'll bust out that bench next time!

BTW, What do your favorite colors consist of? Are you a cat or dog guy? Do you like gladiator movies?

Couldn't the same be asked of your question?!!!

[/JV/]

Don't worry about one missed rep. You almost had it, and will likely get it next time. Besides, the other two exercises were PRs. Really good day overall.

A PR is a PR. What do you usually have (pre-workout meal) before hitting the wieghts?
