Hey Stinner, hope your happy about those bruins....I hope they choke !!
I notice on many of your sessions you have "5S" peaks or negatives...is that you doing a hold, or just being slow with the eccentric parts?
You do a lot of volume...I am sure a good weeks rest will be good for you

Yes I am I won't be heartbroken if they don't win the Cup, but I'd prefer it. I can't be mad about any of the remaining teams though, so it's all good!
If I say "peak" that means I count the contraction/hold, and "negatives" means I count the eccentric. Sometimes I count on both, sometimes one or the other. Depends how the movement made me feel the prior workout and if I think it was pointless to do that again.Lifting. Hockey. Headbanging.

FULL BODY whatever workout. Lifted w/my wife & friend and took half the week off. Will get back to it Monday or Tuesday.
Hockey the other day, lost by a goal. I scored once and assisted another which was called back (erroneously, IMO). I just knew that would come back to haunt us, though we had a million chances to make up for it and just couldn't.

Too bad about the goal, in our league the calls...however bad are irrevocable. It the human factor. How many officials are on the ice when you play?, we only have one, but us older folks move so slow that is all that is required!
The mentally out of thing: that has been a problem on and off for me lately as well, my wife keeps piling on the work and the fact that the weather here has been cool, cloudy, wet and breezy, I think thats the root of it. I have been lifting increasingly in the early mornings and at lunch and it helps me get it over with earlier in the day before the futility of it all sinks in.Please record my time/reps if I pass out

2 refs. I can see why they thought it was a kick, but a keen eye would see what happened. He extended his leg & stick to catch the pass, it missed his stick blade and bounced off his skate. Tough to kick in that position. Can't argue calls here either, but if you have a good rapport w/the refs you can at least talk w/them and they'll try to not let certain things go or the opposite. Usually that's with player on player stuff.
Tonight we lost 4-1. We're on a really bad run; losing 3 out of our last 4 which we all 'should have' won. I was the only +1 tonight with our goal. It's not losing that bothers me, but not playing properly as a team that does it. Especially when teams all beat us the same way (passing around us/bad positioning, or us not playing a passing game) and we act like we're incapable of changing or realizing it. Drives me nuts!
Sorry to hear you're having those days too. I feel if we let those feelings keep us out of the gym (or whatever we usually enjoy/"need"), then it's bad. If we keep on and get through it, we're still doing well. Tomorrow I'll be in again, maybe Saturday as well, and will get back to normal on Monday.Last edited by StinnerOzz; 05-24-2019 at 06:11 AM.

Hockey playoffs this week, we won 7-4. I had 1g5a, total dominance! My linemate scored FOUR (I bounced one off of him, and set up 2 others point blank), and one of our D I set up the same way and he put em in. Both score here and there but rarely this much (definitely not 3 or 4), so I'm glad they came through. Nice to see my plays lead to production too, I get frustrated sometimes when we don't cash in golden opportunities. Semifinal this upcoming week, and finals the following week if we win. We play a tough team with whom we split our regular season games.

UPPER DAY #1
Back to lots of frequency and lower daily volume. Didn’t push the weights too much since I’m coming off nearly 3 weeks of NOT following this routine, and it always takes 100% to kill it. So I got away with what I could and will build from here.

LOWER DAY #1
Leaving a little in the tank for playoffs Thursday. Felt great, numbers were solid, just didn't hit utmost intensity. That's something I should probably do more of anyway, so I am satisfied with this. The calf work felt great today too; I will try to employ that again since I wasn't feeling my last session's routine.
Standing Calf Raise, no step, alternating legs
10 / 8 / 6 / 6 / 5 / 5 each +15s peak on final rep
12 / 6 / 5 / 5 / 4 each +15s peak on final rep
Seated Calf Raise
100x20
RP 2up/1 down x5 each / 100x10
RP 2up/1 down x8 each / 100x6
Seated Leg Curls SS w/Sissy Squats
80x8 / 6 / repeat
2up/1down 80x12 each / +25x6,4,4 RP but none to failure
Frog stance Leg Press
360x15,6 RP
SS w/High Hamstring Press 360x12,6 RP
These leg presses were a bit closer to failure. I took a slight pause on the last couple reps of each beginning set so I would give 'em a slight reprieve. Lowered intensity just enough to feel like I got through it easily. Again the idea on leg day #1 is to hit 'em good but be as close to 100% 2 days later for hockey. Ooh we have a good one coming up, I can't wait to forecheck the F out of these guys!!! Another 5pt. game would be fantastic, too...Last edited by StinnerOzz; 06-04-2019 at 05:08 PM.

Nothing wrong with some time off both physically and mentally. For me I think that would wane on me mentally and I'd freak out.
We won tonight, 7-3 and I had a hat trick + an assist! 9 points in our 2 playoff games so far, I've been on fire. This was against the 2nd place team, and next week is the championship vs. the 1st place team that basically wins all the time. If we play like we did tonight we have a great chance. I remember we beat them a while ago and they threw a fit leaving the rink. Hate to see those guys win...Last edited by StinnerOzz; 06-07-2019 at 12:22 PM.

All right, exactly like last week! I am hockey levels of superstitious, which means whenever I play well I like to do whatever I did leading up to that game. Even skipped abs despite saying I would do em yesterday. Silly me.
All leg work work just short of failure. Slight pause on last couple reps of each beginning set of leg press for a slight reprieve.Lifting. Hockey. Headbanging.

No lifting until Monday. Plans tonight and going out of town for the weekend.
Naturally we played stupid and blew our championship game, too. You hate to blame the goalie but I think there's a problem when you're late, don't warm up, let in the 1st shot (a recurring problem), and then let in 3 out of roughly 5 shots soon after. Without that it would have been a close game, but there is absolutely no closing that gap on a team like that. Another one lost to that...sigh.Last edited by StinnerOzz; 06-14-2019 at 10:54 AM.

Whew, crazy week. Spent the weekend walking around non-stop, skipped last night and probably can't lift tonight either (woops). No off-week for hockey as expected, so now I lose Thursday as a gym day on top of it. I will just do a traditional split this week: Wed/Fri/Sat and increase volume in each.

So I've realized that my DB presses have dropped off considerably the past couple months. Lately it's because I've had to change routines and had bad rest/nutrition/mentality, but it began when I stopped taking XTend. I wonder if that had much to do with it or if that's just happenstance. I guess there are two ways to find out:
1) get my **** together and push things properly to see if I can ramp my weights back up
2) get back on XTend and see how it goes
All my lifts besides that have been fine, so chances are it's "just the way it is". I have also been trying to slow down pec movements and really hammer them, so that likely lends to the issue. It's just a pain when I recall doing 115x8-10 on incline DB and could barely move the 105s for 8 last night.Lifting. Hockey. Headbanging.

Hockey players have to be the most superstitious athletes out there....I laughed when I read that.
I can see how dumbbell movements can be sensitive to small changes, due to the lack of stabilizing you get with two hands on a bar, or. I did some Arnold presses today and they were a bit wobbly, I was reasonably "on" today, any other day I probably would have got less reps on those. Hey I am incorporating some holds and peaks in my accessory movements, feeling the burn.
Anyway sorry about your championship game, at least your teamed seemed reasonable competitive this year...if we had playoffs I doubt we would have even made it.Please record my time/reps if I pass out

Haha, I knew you could relate! I try not to be, but...I can't help it sometimes.
Cool, hopefully they work out well for you! You get stronger with them too, IMO, as you lengthen the TUT and truly CONTROL the weights.
Thanks. So this new season started already (no weeks off like usual) and we're already back to our old tricks. What a great game we started with. 0-0 through the first, I set up one our weakest players (with big heart, so no surprise he gets stuff done) for the go-ahead goal. Then I think we let in SIX within no more than 8 minutes. On maybe 9 shots? Absolutely ridiculous. Such a great game wasted in the end.
On a brighter note, I joined another team last-minute, and will play 2x on Thursdays now. I've played against them for years and always respected them. They've dropped a division lower (since our regular div got bumped up, they can't hang at all). Fewer players means more skating, and I'll get to play with a guy whose game I really like. Great playmaker and can score too. They have one other good goal scorer and the rest are all right/good at doing their role and holding things down as much as they can. No one gives up. I had 3 assists halfway through the 1st game and stopped trying. One guy on the other team definitely didn't like me and tried taking me out ALL NIGHT. I knew I had another game later so I didn't care, but damn. I actually dragged him AND another guy on me, hooking and holding, for about 3 feet before I finally lost the puck at one point. I was being nice by not helping w/the mercy rule (we were 2 goals away halfway through the game, c'mon), but next time he'll get my A-game!Lifting. Hockey. Headbanging.
