I also had him squat barefoot as he was wobbling all over. By the end of it he managed to get 9 reps at 95, but he was really mad at me. He was getting three reps for his AMRAP at 86, so he was really feeling the burn and learning what it's like to push hard. The emotional strain was actually the hardest for him, he physically could have kept going but had totally lost concentration and collapsed. Then son #2 got his turn. Same story, I pushed him till his concentration broke, he did a 3lb increase and got an extra 1 rep compared to his previous lifts (65lbs for 4x5 +7 vs 62lbs for 4x5 +6), but it still took him right to the edge of crying. They both felt great after calming down, and they both agreed that was the best lifting session they've had. Awesome. I reminded them that all I did was encourage them to see what they could actually do and prove to them that they are a lot tougher than they think. Headed out with my daughter to do the same thing in about an hour. They don't know it yet, but I'm now looking for a Prowler or something similar for us to really start working on the mental aspect of being tough. Frankly I need it as much as they do, should be fun. You missed Snowla Warrior. Yep. But I'm closer to caught up on life. Spent 6 hours getting my taxes together today, will be spending another few hours tonight on a house plan and then I've just got about 40 hours worth of work to get done before I go out of town Thursday for three weeks. Maybe CWWIII. My Grendel barrel will be delivered Tuesday, so there's another gun I'll own for several months without shooting. |

I'm now taking vacation in order to catch up on my moonlight work. |

1 board is an interesting bitch.
Its sort of like deadlifting off a 1" mat for me. It takes the "pop" out of the bottom of the movement so its actually a little harder than just doing the movement by its self. But I hit a 4x2 275x2 295x2 305x2 315x2 Moved on to hypertrophy work. blue slingshot 275x5 275x5 285x5 Then some various tricep work. |

Thanks, they've really like being stronger. My daughter proved to be mentally the toughest by far, she did her sets then nailed 37 reps for her AMRAP. Obviously the weight was light at 50lbs, but still, getting 37 reps as a 15yo girl was really impressive. She's not walking much now, but she's really proud of herself. |

I hope my daughter has that drive as she gets older. She's been an adrenaline junky since she was about 6 months old when I started pretended dropping her and tossing her in the air. Now, at 19 months, she doesn't even cry when she falls and she's deadlifted moms 5 lb dumbbell for reps after watching me deadlift. Anyway, good job on your kids. I really do enjoy reading about that. Gives me hope for the future. Haha. |

I'm bummed to miss it. I've been emailing Marcus about the class. He said there will be other class opportunities in the future. That will probability work better for me anyway. Try to get my lift numbers up some. Clean up my lifts until then. The whole reason I have a home gym is because I need to be home. Signing up for classes that tie me up during the times I need to be home defeats the purpose of my shop gym. If they do a Saturday class or something earlier in the days, I could swing that. But 6-7:30 PM twice a week won't fly with my priorities right now. My calculated 1rm squat pr jumped by 10 lbs today. Then I squated all of the squats I could squat until I died from allergy med induced fatigue. Stupid face is jacked up from mowing the orchard. So I just ran the program, did a bonus 3x10, and quit for the day. OHP and arms tomorrow. |

Sounds like you killed it on squats. I really need to work on my work capacity on squats. It's in the shitter right now. Good luck tomorrow OHP is probably my least favorite thing. No reason in particular. Just don't like it. I do arms on OHP day as well. So I usually get bored with OHP then chase a big pump for my biceps and nail my triceps hard. |

Usually 1x15 at a weight where I barely get the last reps. I'll do 4 sets of these. Then upright rows and dumbbell press 4x15 and the last set to failure. Non of my lifts are really my strongest or favorite lift. As long as I can keep adding a chip every once and a while without putting myself in the hospital, I'm good. |

Hit up some squats today after work.
After some PT my hip is feeling really good. I could easily drop in the hole without any pain. 370x3 390x3 415x4 (wasn't too thrilled with this set, I did 4 instead of 3 but after watching the footage. I my knees were too far forward and I wasn't as low as I wanted to be in the hole) Box Squats 325, 2x2. |

He should always wear that tank shirt for all of his avatar pics. I'd like to flip a tire some day... Allen Thrall has a bunch at his gym. Maybe end of the year I'll go to see him and flip a tire. I did my KaiKfit in official KaiKfit gear today. Did my entire workout in flip flops. Tomorrow I may not have use of my arms. I got 2 at my gym. They're fun for the first 2 times. After that you're just really winded and want to sit down .
I'm guessing you are right. I want to do it just to say I have. I don't need to ever get God at it. I'll never do a strong man. I think there are four tires each about 100# heavier than the last. |

I could have won if coach had let me play 
Re: prowlers- The local gym has a few pull sleds but none of the larger prowlers that can be pushed. I'm assuming we'd be better off with the bigger one? Maybe we can just strap the sled to a belt and just pull the little ones? What do you think? Originally Posted By LawyerUp:

And it sounds like she might deadlift more too. And looks better doing it.

Still trying to get a hang of my bench.
Worked with the belt a little bit today. I think I may be getting slightly more stabilization with the belt. As far as the arch goes I may be arching slightly more, maybe not. I hit 275x3, then 285x3 with the belt. Then I did 295x1, 305x1 with the belt. Then 305 without. Going back to 305 without I felt alot more wobbly. I think I'm going to keep exploring this and if I find it to be beneficial, I may get a lever belt for this. I dunno, perhaps you could help me out:

I'm no where near naturally strong enough to be a power lifter. Most guys that don't train could out lift me pretty easily. Being fatter means just getting fewer pull-up and push-up reps in. Not nessasary stronger. |

About 3 weeks out, I'll start training a much longer pause and a heel down. |

About 3 weeks out, I'll start training a much longer pause and a heel down. I personally prefer going heels down. I feel more stable that way. I also like letting the bar sink into my body a little at the bottom, make sure my shoulder blades are still pinched correctly, then pressing. It helps me control everything a bit better and helps prevent my shoulders from getting loaded during the decent/deceleration. Edit: I kind of beat around the bush, but basically I think pausing at the bottom actually makes it easier when done correctly(for me). |

I should have picked a sport where I could stay fat and weak. Like golf or fantasy football. My 11 yo daughter (the most athletic and motivated of the herd) got back from a weekend out of town yesterday and she had barely cast a shadow on the floor when her siblings were asking if they could watch her turn in the 'pain cave'. I kinda think she'll just show them all up, but as is typical with her she's been asking all day when we can go do the pain cave thing. The other kids thought they were going to put a scare into her, didn't exactly work that way. I'm furiously trying to get caught up, been sitting at the computer since 7am and have a few hours to go before I take a break, then probably put on a pot of coffee and work most of the night. Not sure if I'll try lifting today, swelling in the wrist is way down and it feel a lot better, but I still can't do a lot with it. I might be done after our trip to the pain cave... The kids love that name, cracks me up. Festivus games in 12 days or so. Totally not ready and will only have a chance to get to the gym two or three times between now and then. |
