He just sits there and looks at me like I am insane

**BEAST MODE** · 05-09-2011, 05:20 PM

LOL I remember when I used to live at home and trained in the basement, my dog would lay there and watch, then when I'd stretch, she'd stretch too...it was hilarious!

What's the bbing show at the end of the month? Is it NPC or what?

Nice job on those rev. squats bro! I'm going to assume not many people hang out in your corner at the gym considering it's mostly leg equipment and racks.

**robert da strongman** · 05-11-2011, 01:28 PM

Ugggh...need a restart button for today. Glad it is off day from gym.

**BEAST MODE** · 05-11-2011, 02:00 PM

**robert da strongman** · 05-11-2011, 02:18 PM

power cleans 135x4, 185, 205 easy singles 225...bout halfway up and stalled, twice. definitely have to drop and push more.
shrugs 225x10, 315x10, 405x10...straps, 495x10, 545x5, 585x5

good mornings 135x5, 225x5 315x5 3 sets....these were all murder. my right bicep near the shoulder felt like it was going to come popping off. pain was intense, good sign of an impingement. will say that as i kept going the stretch helped.

face pulls 100x10 8 sets

elliptical 20 minutes, level 3, 1 minute intervals 2mph/5mph

Could have done without the pain. But the cute trainer and hot nurse checking me out made it better

**BEAST MODE** · 05-12-2011, 04:34 PM

Getting checked out by hot ladies is always a nice feeling...especially for your wiener.

z-press on smith machine 205x2 5 sets....tried 225 and 215 but they were going nowhere. guess this is due to not having any support for my back. but i like the way my shoulders feel on this.

wide grip upright rows 245x5 5 sets....felt good, but i was really doing these like a hi-pull, explosive and fast. gotta get that 275 to my chest in lakeland.

dumbell front/side raise 25x8 6 sets....ugh, these were brutal. might drop the front raise next week.

close grip press 275x2 5 sets....upping the weight next week.

**stephaniewicked** · 05-20-2011, 07:27 AM

Shit... that blows about the debit card drama! I'm always afraid something like that will happen. I don't have a whole lotta money to take anyway, so whoever robs me is getting a shitty deal! haha

**Sandpig** · 05-20-2011, 07:31 AM

Rob, had my info stolen twice. Takes a little while to get resolved, but it will.

stop giving your card to strippers...haha. seriously it sucks no matter what or who.

**robert da strongman** · 05-20-2011, 10:26 PM

Bank got my money back! Feels good to know I won't have to sweat the rent.

What are you going to do first when you turn into a zombie?

**Sandpig** · 05-21-2011, 08:29 AM

Rob, are you not the resident Cubs fan? Rough game last night but I think the Cubs will win the next two.
Pitching matchups favor the them big time.
