Ham's Powerlifting Log of Peace and Prosperity

[raynerd]

Beauty shoulder day, crushed the push press and the 140 reps on incline are super strong! Nice run too

[thehobbes]

57.5 is an insane amount of cantaloupes. Facepulls of peace and prosperity.

It is! You should see my rear delts HNNGGGG!

Doing bonus sets "just because" means you're really in the groove! Those are fun!

Haha yeah they are fun! Everything was flowing smooth.

Darn it Hammy, now I don't know which one of your journals to respond in. My goal is to flip back and forth and confuse the hell out of you

Go for it, it does not take much to confuse me. Hell, ask me what year it is and I will start walking around in circles in woe.

I've got you beat. Two nights ago, I get up in the middle of the night to pee and get a drink of water. I bring the water back to bed, and somehow in my half-asleep stupor, up-end the glass and pour all the water out right in the center of my mattress. I spent the rest of the night clinging to the side of the bed like a groggy monkey so I wasn't sleeping in a puddle. The next morning I had to strip all my sheets off and run them through the dryer, then leave my mattress airing out under a fan. I was REALLY glad there was no foot traffic through the house yesterday, because it totally looked like I had peed the bed. Yes, I am three years old.

Oh god, I thought you were gonna say you poured the water in the bathroom and peed in your bed.

Also, in b4 "people who can't handle it, shouldn't drink".

I sometimes find wrappers for protein bars and cookies from the middle of the night in bed, srs. Who is breaking into my house eating all the cookies?!!!

Beauty shoulder day, crushed the push press and the 140 reps on incline are super strong! Nice run too

Thanks, a very well rounded day of fitness was had!

BOOM - SQUATS! Will catch up on journals this weekend. Very busy with work the last couple days, just got done taking care of a bunch of stuff for work a few minutes ago, fun Friday night of prosperity. Yesterday was at work around 12 hrs and fitbit says:

26k steps
3960 calories

I need a couple pizzas, come at me Papa Johns.

[TM79]

Dang Ham, and here I was complaining about a long week! 4,000 calories? Do you walk up mountains carrying bricks for a living? That's nuts! Good looking workouts this week. Very strong on deads and then you went ahead and combined it with, what many would arguably say, should be illegal after doing deads... running. Then there is this squat workout, in which you posted some serious numbers and also burned my caloric intake for a day and a half... Way to go! I hope you have a wonderful Friday night! You deserve it!

LOL that's a pretty accurate description of my work, srs. I have a small business that does delivery for one of the major shipping companies and I go out and deliver when I have guys on vacation. So yep I'm carrying treadmills and desks up flights of stairs all day. Startling lack of elevators where we're at for some reason.

Hell yeah I like DL and I like running, so that was a fun day. These high calorie burn days are nuts, I go through so many damn groceries. :'( Thank goodness for the grocery store Aldi haha, I can get alllll the meats, eggs, fruits, and veggies!

Last night fell asleep on couch watching Netflix and eating microwave s'mores haha.

Great bp day again! Still putting up the heavy singles and heavy Slingshot. Also very happy to consistently hit 170x4x2 every week, that's probably helping me the most. Slept in this morning because it was pouring rain around 7am. Little known ham-fact, on the weekends I run in the morning although I list it last, cause you know, the weights are the main focus for my log.

I got all my lifting in for the week so looks like tomorrow will be some running and then doing stuff around the house + grilling to make meals for the week.

Ohhhh and August 22nd is ANIMAL gear day! They will have some special gear apparently. There are few things that truly excite me in life, but ANIMAL day is one of em. I wear ANIMAL shirts every single day srs. Still trying to chase down the blue Iconic, missed that one last time. Ah buying ANIMAL gear is better than spending my money on ******* and hookers I suppose.

[TM79]

Holy bench workout Batman! That is some serious volume! Great job on the heavy singles. Also, that is particularly impressive to do all of that after a 3 mile run. I always, ALWAYS do my conditioning at the end. I find that it hurts my heavy lifts when I do it first. Mad props on that!

[melDorado]

Found your new journal hehe now we're old wimmins together

Loved your bench 195 ham sick af
Its interesting youve worked around and created your own DL setup. I did the same with squats got some hybrid type thing going on but its rly helped

I wake up sometimes in a bed of cake crumbs where i sleep-eat cake and somehow only eat half of it and sleep in the rest. Good to know im not alone tho lol

You deloaded with me last time i remember and my meet is 4 weeks so you shouldn't do it any later than that

Thanks! The running gets me up early-ish and out the door on weekends. I come home and eat a 1400calorie "breakfast" srs, watch an episode of Wentworth and then go lift. (BTW Wentworth is the best show in the history of the world, just so ya know, Australian women's prison violent/dramatic/funny show, AWESOME! )

Pretty good workout, had to do a couple things in a different order than usual due to equipment being in use. That's fine, it's only an accessory day, it's cool to mix it up a little bit every now and then.

WTF at this supposed solar eclipse. We were supposed to get 82% coverage here. I assumed that meant it would get at least somewhat dark outside at the peak time of said eclipse? Nope, did not see one single interesting thing happen with that at all. Confused as to what all these eclipse watch parties were about, absolutely nothing happened. Hell I couldn't even locate where in the sky the sun was, srs, I was trying to find it to avoid looking at it but I failed pretty hard even finding it. Hmmm...

Average wts, nothing special today. Run was hot and slow.

Was talking to my dad about the eclipse, he saw it. He said oh yeah I looked right at it but don't worry I had two pairs of regular sunglasses so I'm sure it was fine. Oh man, him and everyone else out there apparently did exactly what was warned to NOT do lmao. He said he "only" looked for like 5 seconds at a time a few times, said he didn't want to bother getting the special eclipse glasses because it can't be that big of a deal, sigh...

[TM79]

Great work the last few days Ham! Sorry for my slackness in here. I'm more of a binge journal reader. Great looking run on Sunday. I was really impressed with your numbers on Back/Biceps and Shoulders. Really reading through I kept thinking to myself, "that's solid! Shoot, those sound like my sets!" I was LOL'ing at the eclipse comments. We had over 90% here and I wasn't that impressed. The lighting outside got somewhat dim, but nowhere near dark. I managed to get a couple of decent photos while my coworker held the eclipse glasses up to my camera lens. That was about the highlight of it for me. I wanted to wear a welding helmet, but don't have one personally and we haven't bought one yet at work. Yeah, staring right at it is not a good idea. My eyes stung a little after using the glasses.

[mirroroferised]

We were driving during this eclipse and heard on the radio that it had come and gone while we were driving. I didn't see a thing. Not sure if that says more about the eclipse or my eyesight and driving.

Your slow runs are equivalent to my fast ones lol Love seeing another journal around here with some running it.

[raynerd]

Beauty back and bi day and average "above" average shoulder day Excellent work on the run as well.
I had the same feelz about the faaking eclipse, had my 4 boys all fired up for a spectacular show...then I hung my head in da shame

[SixTribes]

Some very strong pressing Hobbes ! All around good stuff going g on in here. Think I'll pull up a chair

Oh no worries, same here. I'm always so busy with work during the week I get behind in the logs, then I have a bunch of stuff to do on the weekends and the same thing happens haha. Thanks, workouts have been feeling very solid lately. I was kind of happy I didn't have any big eclipse plans because the more I read about it the more I heard about "fake" eclipse glasses and people using methods that were still dangerous. Eh, I'd rather not risk it TBH. Yeah welding glass would work great, probably the safest way to do it as long as you know your equipment is legit. Been reading on Reddit about a few dumbass people who did chit like use binoculars IN FRONT of their glasses, sigh, people just don't use their brains. :/

Lol I was driving too and was trying to figure out where exactly it was so I could avoid looking at it, never did locate it. Ohio clouds of peace.

Your slow runs are equivalent to my fast ones lol Love seeing another journal around here with some running it.

Slow runners unite! I am always way too happy when I pass up one person running on the trails lulz.

Quick little workout today, worked up to a decent weight. Started watching season 5 of my favorite show Wentworth. WOW it starts off amazing. That is with 100% certainty the best show of all time SRS. Every episode has major things happen with lots of shocking stuff you'd never expect. The acting, the music, the way they film it... it's all genius. That is a DARK show, holy chit, pepper your angus to have your soul crushed many times over. Hamly tears have been shed many times during that show. I've watched the first 4 seasons at least 20 times over too. Sometimes that's all I watch for like 3 months straight. Gonna grab some take out at Five Guys Burgers and watch another episode or two tonight.
