I aplogozie for not posting but part of it is not my fault at least the last couple of weeks. It seems my training blog was labeled as a spam bot or sometihng of this nature. I could not pull it up at all. Don't know how that happened but I am sure it is sabotage from somewhere out there. Anyhow, I had to click through a couple of links to find this out. Apparently you have to send a message back to some one somewhere who evalutates and decides if your spam bot log is a real person or not. Since spam bots can't figure this out and on the help page they say you have to do this proceedure as obviously you are not a bot and are a "real human" if you are viewing and sending this message to a real person then I was readily assured I was in fact a real human. It took and week or two to get my blog back up. I had Sue check it out too. Maybe you have to go through the proceedure twice to double prove you are not a spam bot and in fact a real person. So I am back now. I think as long as I don't get labeled as a viagra/cialis levitra spam I will be good.
The logs are jumbled as I just copied and pasted them. Enjoy June....

Saturday
My plan was to do five laps with the 300lb chain Sunday but I woke up Saturday morning not really wanting to squat or pull so I decided this would kill both-cardio and lower work. I got alittle later start then I wanted about 7:15 or so. I had done 3 laps the previous Sunday and it was tougher then I thought but it was also on a empty stomach and I had alot to eat on Saturday. This round was coming off a low carb day and a empty stomach, well I had one bite of a Tiger's Milk bar and some NO BS preworkout to pump alittle more blood. I got out there and about lap 3 the old lady came out and asked it I would be done soon so she could bring kb class outside. I didn't really answer as doing only 4 laps was lookin and feelin' like a real possiblity. Lap 4 would turn out to be the easiest lap as I paced it off in 50 steps and break and switching from frowards to backwards dragging. This is a much better way to pull this thing or in general then all out one way. I got to the end of lap 4 and did not see her outside so I knew she understood my compulsion to do the fifth lap and pulled on. I am sure the class wa happy as well as they got to stay in the a/c and get punished. Most everyone said I was pale even though my head and neck were burnt. Once I ate alittle, I worked the rack and had to get in the strongmen's ass outback as 3 or 4 of them have been sneaking in and hauling ass without paying. Never understood the disrespect, at least sober. Go to someone's place, use their shit that they did not pay for themselves and at least not offer to pay. I am a softee and would have worked a better deal but instead it was a train and dash like when you were in high school or college and did that shit at 3am while you were drunk. No excuse mind you but that is what it reminded of. To make up for my younger days, I leave alittle extra when we eat out.I guess if you don't make a stand all the time, you will get some crap like that. Anyhow, five laps of chain dragging for 2 hours will piss anyone off and they got my point. I felt like a dad scolding kids.Sunday 40mins boring stepmill

Friday 30 mins stepper Saturday OffSunday Drug 30lb chain for 3 lapsThursday rep stuff-tried something alittle different-incline press 135x10x10sets with 30 sec rest per set-Barbell row same-Log press(log only) 10 sets of 10 with 30 sec rest-Did the new Rkc snatch test of 50 reps per arm with a 24kg under 5 minutes. This was much faster then I thought at 3 min 32 sec. The wife had her first mini triathelon Sat so I supported her and was the go fetch dude but it is alot easier then powerlifting. She wanted to prove her point that you can do this without running, biking or swimming event training all the time. Her goal was 2 hours, she was right under that. She may have swam 7 or 8 times total just to learn the technique, some indoor running and only 2 trips of biking of riding the actual course. The rest was made up with 3 days a week of kb class, 3 weight training sessions with me, and some odds and ends stuff like dragging the 300lb chain around the gym and some prowler work. The results was a 500meter swin in 15 minutes, 14 plus mile bike in 1 hour 7 mins and less then 30 minutes on a 3 mile run. Just sometihng alittle different that all of us could do if we put our minds to it. Her next goal is to get back to a pl meet and put us some decent numbers.

Tuesday night I decided to try the Nordic track Incline Trainer Ihave at the other store. I did twenty minutes and it was tough. Normally, I hate treadmills but this one goes upto 40degree incline so you feel like you are hiking a mountain. I did not make it to 40 as 20degrees was quite enough. Wed- 30 mins stepmillTHur-30 mins bikeWed training. Repeat of last week with the Safety bar setup except for close stance ass to grass squats. Kept the weights lighter then previous week and higher rep range. Raw no gear. 325x5, 415x10, 505x10. I thought 20 would be in the cards but 10 was more then enough with the close stance. Still I was good with this. I am still working on relearning my body after the 280 plus years. THe pickups are all different. The weights hit you differently on the body. This has turned out to be a whole new experience. THere is no magic, only consistent hard work and trying new things adn having the gumption to go in other not so tried and true directions. -Lunge around building 1 lap 15 minutes -closer stance band pull throughs with a blue doubled up. Much harder then normal wide one with a longer distance to pull. 3x8-rev hyper 1x50

Wednesday
THe Angry Troll showed up to train again. HIs thing this time was the new Elite Troll and how they stole his name(we have been calling him this for 8 or 9 years since Fat Adam came up with it) and how he should get compensated for it. Maybe they should have a troll off battle. THey both love gossip and shit stirring so it would be a great battle. I will give the Angry Troll the advantage for the moment as he says and does some of the most off the wall things. Except for the mohawk and goatee, the Angry Troll really looks like a troll, 5'5 maybe, large overgrown back like a turtle shell. Walks to the side just like the troll on the movie 300. He has a constant blinking and cheek twitch. Very very loud and obnoxious if you don't know him which also adds to the troll lore. This is also the same one engaged(sort of) to the Viagra Princess. Put it this way, Ben(our inhouse school resource officer-I called him Bend OVer except lately it Ben,let's just be friends for lack of deal closing if you know what I mean) sees and deals with all kind of bs at work and just in general in the community as a officer and even he says the Angry Troll says the most f'ed shit he has ever heard. Training wise we did assisted satefy bars squats where you place a barbell on the other side of where the bar will be about waist high. After you get the bar picked up you grab the barbell on the other side for support. As you decend, you use your arms to help support you and give you some stabilty in the hole. With this exercise, you can sit way back like you had briefs on and do more weight. As you squat, your arms extend and you will come forward some which will hold the safety bar in place then squat back up. It's kind of like another version of the belt squat belt in what it does. I think its great for raw squatting, getting the right feel of pushing back on a regular squat and it smashes your hammies and glutes. -415x5x2, 505x5x1, 595x5, 685x3 all raw with knee wraps on the last two sets.-set up my shrug contraption on a jump streth platform with purples quaded up. Sets of five off platform, then added a 45lb bumper x5, then 2 45lb x5, then 3 45lbx5, then 4 45lbx5, then a 35lb bumper on top for for. Basically, off the top of the feet. -Rev hypers 1x50 light weight -On a side note, we just got the new shipment of kbs in with the new 48kg size added in. Elite should have them available by next week.
