I decided to pull the plug on the last journal, as the last couple pages of it were filled with whiny, emo filled workouts full of laziness, apathy and any other negative word you could throw at it.
To put it blunt, i got pussified, content to blame my job, my sleep habits, etc for failing work ethic.
I tackled the problem, wrapped my head around a solution. If there is a will there is a way and well, im willing. I work, excessive amounts of hours, so rather than whine, i found something on EliteFTS and will be doing 5/3/1 2x/week with an optional third day(ARMS/TRAPS), until my time comes back. I will be hitting conditioning hard, in the form of hills, prowler......Steady state cardio will still be done.
Current Statistics
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 168 pounds
Meet PRS's
Bench: 190
Squat: 345
Deadlift: 465
Total: 1000
Setup will be realtively basic. I got a lot of great suggestions on assistance work from Ryan G(Assassin) on split/assistance advice and am going to implement some of his ideas.
So off, we go.

I am soooo in.
RAWR!!!"Clit stimulation if your fingers are dry is not a good idea. The clit is more sensitive than the underside of a guy's penis, apparently.
Good rule of thumb: make sure you're fingers aren't dry before they go anywhere NEAR her clit/pussy.
Also, besides myself, maybe 2-3 of you have actually done anything like this before..."

Damn nice overhead pressing, HHF. I'll tell you what, if there's anything I can consistently count on you to impress me with, it's OHP and deads.

AM
50 minutes Treadmill
Weighed in at 167 today
PM
I trained lower body today, as a mistake on my part realized i wouldnt be training tomorrow or monday. So i decided to squat today, after prowler 3 out of the past 4 days. If not for one misplaced cunt of a mother****er in the gym, i would have been great. But it was still a brutal way to start my holiday weekend.
Warmups
2x100Jump Rope, Foam Rolling, Stretching
Squats
135x5
185x3
225x5
250x3
280x5*
Story: When I arrived at the gym, there was a loaded barbell with 95lbs between the squat racks. I warmed up, jump rope, etc. no one claimed the barbell and the gym was relatively empty. I start through my sets and nothing, no one coming to the barbell. I load up 280, get through rep, 1, 2, 3 and then overhear some little cocksucker ask if someone is using the bar, rep 4, i hear this kid attempt to move the barbell and it rolls towards my rack, rep 5, this mother****er walks right into the path of the bar, rep 6, i almost hit this ****ing kid in the face and he tells me to watch out. I dump the bar and proceed to unleash a cursing fury telling him he was in ym way, that he should have waited until i was done the set to revel in his douchebaggery and **** up his own workout, not mine. Long story short, an LA Fitness "trainer" came over and "resolved" the situation, actually siding with me and tellling the kid he should be more aware of his surroundings and not get in people's way. I was ****ing pissed. I would have had 8-10 reps. Funny thing is, i didnt see that kid after he walked away, i think he left. ****ing piece of ****, i wanted to murder him.

Sumo is for girls and men with girly arms (jordan)
The iron is the enemy; it's constantly fighting you in the gym. You need to attack the enemy without fear.
