Well, I can't win. I have strep throat now. Hurts to swallow my own spit.

Battery ran out on the camera. Got the beginning part at least to look at some form. Pretty happy with today as my PR on this is 405. Using less assistance on the GHR and forms getting better on the leg raises making them harder. Long weekend traveling out of state seeing in-laws. Brought my bands and got some training in with that last Wednesday/Friday/Sunday.

Way to tired to post this last night at what ever time it was that I got done. I just know it is getting way to cold, 28f here last night. It's going to get colder too so I just need to suck it up and stop complaining.

Feel like my form is off on the bench. Wrists are bending back which I know they shouldn't and I don't feel like I'm getting the right bar path or getting under the bar in the right position. Somethings off and will need to work on it.

yeah, 12in box is as low as I go. Don't remember the last time I went that low either. Usually I do these to a parallel box which is between 14-15in. They sucked at first in the hips but I warmed up to them as the sets went on.

Been wiped out lately and the days are runningn together. Back is super tight and sore. Just plugging away no matter what though. Sunday hit up some speed bench and hit 185x12x3 and some other stuff. Yesterday did 2" platform deadlift, about mid shin height, and worked up to 375 conventional and 415 sumo. Then did some other stuff. Supposed to get a blizzard today or tonight at some point. That will be fun dragging a sled in.

Been pretty happy with the max effort work recently.

Wont be training at all next week. Will traveling a lot out of state to see my family and the wifes. Good time to deload.

Yes, it really has been in the single digits to the negative degrees Fahrenheit that I've been training in. Had some schmuck doubting me. Here is a pic of ice forming half way up the walls of my garage I train in... @$$

Starting over again. Riding the roller coaster of life. Lost my grandfather and best friend so took a week out to go visit family, got back and son and wife get some nasty virus and spike a temp of 103 w/ seriously bad headaches, and then week later I get it along with 24hours of dry heaves every hour on the hour.

So, back down from 201 back to 188. Just what I did tonight wiped me out good. Just have to keep pushing forward.

**dtaps24** · 01-18-2010, 07:50 PM

Sorry for your losses, hope your family is feeling better. Keep up the good work.

**Jason2459** · 08-04-2010, 08:28 PM

Well, new job, new state, new car, new house, new born is now a year old, and getting my new workout room setup.

**Donkeyno9** · 08-06-2010, 03:10 AM

OMG Jason, your back!!!

Almost back. I'm putting all my energy into my new job and this bathroom remodel. The deck is done and I can take my time on this shed I'm putting up. So, after this weekend I plan on getting back into it.

**muscle_g** · 08-06-2010, 06:40 AM

Good luck with the new job and everything Jason.

Thanks. I really loved my previous job but it was time to move on as with everything else in life things must change at some point. The new job is certainly a lot more work but has a lot more rewards to go with it. Wife is certainly much happier staying at home with our son. She always has something planned out for them to do. Museums, science station, the zoo, library, play dates with other parents with their kids, etc...

**Jason2459** · 08-10-2010, 08:14 AM

Starting back up slowly. Did some basic body weight and band work yesterday and today. Along with working on my form with just the bar and lots of stretching.

**Jason2459** · 08-16-2010, 07:50 PM

Nothing worth mentioning other then I'm still getting back into it and one week in. Of course completely sore all over and cramping up everywhere. Did weigh myself the other day and coming in at a whopping 174lbs.

**Jason2459** · 09-01-2010, 02:24 PM

starting to get a routine going again and probably start keeping this up again with what I'm doing so I can track it.

I was looking at meets going on around me and looks like NASA is starting up in my area which is great. I've always had a great time at their meets. I might still take a road trip once a year out to one of Bill's UPA meets too.

**jmt92** · 09-02-2010, 07:23 AM

holy crap, glad to have you back.Good luck with everything.

Thanks. It's feeling good to be moving some weight around even if it isn't as much as it used to be but it will be again.

Update I guess:

Wife got really sick...Because wife is pregnant and having a girl this time due in May and had the same complications as before with some different twists here and there this time around. Love my son and he's climbing everywhere as a little daredevil and makes it harder on the wife so trying to help every way I can and taking a lot of energy out of me along with taking on more and more responsibilities at work. I have been doing piddly little workouts here and there maintaining around 180lbs and not getting stronger that's for sure.

Wife is starting to feel better and I'm starting to workout more and more. I don't see myself being in a meet in 2011 but really want to by 2012. 2011 will be tough with another new one on the way and just hope we don't have to deal with colic for several months like our first one. I just hope to be back to where I was by the end of 2012. I still have my long term goals of 1675 unequipped by the time I'm 40 so I still have that burning in the back of my mind. But for now I certainly can't consider myself a powerlifter by any means.
