Wed 8 laps w sled and it was murder. Legs are not wanting to give me anything lately although I am blaming it on the extra 20lb I am floatin currently. THur 45 mins stepmill

Wednesday
-Box squat with cambered bar and briefs. working weight was 6 plates and 1 chainx1 rep per set, 2 chainx1, 3 chainx1,4 chainx1,6 chainx1,no chain 6 platesx3
-safety squat bar gms worked up to 465x3 ugly ass reps.

Charlie and the chocolate factory took a beating last night as he was helping his gf with some training. I kept yelling at him,"are you certified?","i am looking for a trainer"," I need a spot on these suspended gms, help me!" New guys are always incredible amounts of fun as you get to see how much of a beating they can take!

Travis Diamond Phillps on the other hand may need some work. His tolerance levels are alittle shallower it seems. But to make it on the Spud ship , you better get your poop together

Tuesday Morn
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday 10 laps, Monday no cardio, Tuesday no cardio due to training.

Had to move training to Tuesday morning as my pops had his other knee replaced yesterday so I elected to go and see him for a bit. The surgery went well and they expect to send him home Thursday.

Training-some early pump stuff
-Rows and pulldowns 8 rounds each x 8 to 10 reps per
-Pec deck and hammer press and ab wheel 8 roundsx10 rep per
-dips and upright rows 4roundsx12 reps per
-blue band pushdowns and curls to failurex2 rounds.

Still holding at 240lb during this first phase. My feeling is that it will take 2 more rounds to get back to some decent strength levels. The rounds are 12 weeks so far.

The shoulder is holding but it will be a bit before I put alot on it. Right now, it will be the hardest thing to develop strength back in. The muscle around it is fine, but I will have to find some new ways to get the joint itself to a level that can tolerate heavy weights like in the past.

This is probablly going to be one of the most difficult challenges I will face trying to get strong again and maintain that sense of purpose you must have to do anything in life. Right now my purpose has been focused on building the businesses which are only about a 1/8 to about 1/4 of the way I see them in my eye. In essense, I am trying to rise on two fronts. This is one hell of a mountain I am undertaking.

Standing at the face of it..

Wed 8 laps sled drag, Thur 45 mins stepmil



Training
-Little bit of squatting with the cambered bar and stump straps, raw with high box
worked up to 3 plates on bar and 2 plates on stump straps 4x3
-rack pulls about 2 or 3 inches above knees. worked up to 735x1,x2 and then pooped out.
-Reverse hypers 4x15
-hanging ab actually hanging with hands and not straps. Not near as fun as the straps. 4x6

Alittle better this week. Still gonna be a bit before I get conditioned to go heavier. Right now the body is still in cardio mode so it has to relearn and get conditioned again. Really achey today in da joints. Travis Diamond Phillps, the new kid working alittle bit for us at night started a couple of week ago. One of his main tasks is wiping equipment down at night. I noticed he seems to clean the same equipment over and over so I yell at him to clean some other equipment. He says he is so I walk him over to a dark blue hammer row with a inch of dust on it and write his name in it, TRAVIS. He argues that he has been cleaning it but I look at him and say that this is about 2 inches of dust. Now I am writing his name on all various pieces of equipment to prove my point and aggravate which is my best trait.ha.ha.

Everyone still gets their beatings
