Dingus' Log

[Dingus]

I figured it would be good to start posting my log here, so I guess I should give some info on me, I'm 22 and still in college, I train here at school with a USAPL guy, I played 4 years of football here at school and will be doing my first Meet on December 6th. I'm 6'2 290ish my best lifts are 525(briefs), 405(single ply), 485(raw).

ME Squat

Me and my training partner decided to go down to Galaxy Gym in Laconia to use the monolift, really cool place. Met a guy named Joe who helped me out a ton with my squat.

Squat-45x5x2, 135x5x2, 225x5, 275x5, 315x3, 365x1 put on briefs, 405x3 none at depth, 455x1 still high, 495x1x2 both were at depth
Reverse Hypers-100x10x3, 150x10x2
45 Degree Back Ext.-BWx10, 25x10x3

That was it, Mad Dog had to get back to Plymouth for work. Tommorow I'm going to go to the gym and hit stretch, foam roll, do some abs and walk on the treadmill. I got the invite to come down to Galaxy again when the team lifts and I'm definitely going to take advantage of that. Real good time.

My goal today was to hit a triple with 365 but I had some issues getting the shirt set up properly, my third attempt at it was probably 2 minutes after the second, we pulled the shirt down a lot and I got 3 reps pretty easily. I should have recognized that the shirt was off after the first set but I was being an idiot. I was very happy when I finally did get it though. On another note, chest supported rows really hurt my penis. Now I'm gonna go call DD and make sure hes still alive.

The last 3 were done in a circuit, one of the mens soccer coaches came in and told us the team was working out in 10 minutes. I was mad but they definitely needed it, they were benching and the heaviest weight on the bar was 115...it was very sad. Soccer is stupid.

10 glute hams is a huge pr and I'm shocked I could do that many. Last week 4 sets of 5 was tough so I'm pretty happy, I hope to have a butt by 2010. My speed on the squats and pulls was very fast as well. Also it is halloween week at college, halloween lasts approximately 10 days in college which means you have 10 days of girls dressing up like sluts. Things are looking up this week. Now I'm going to go eat more.

[Gable]

Living in a small college town, I too appreciate such holidays. 10 days of sluttier dressing college girls is pure awesomeness.

Killer training too man.. awesome pr on the ghr's...

[KarstenDD]

I just had a talk with Jake. He explained the recent eras of PSU football. That is the entire explanation. We also discussed the lack of awesome weirdos you seem to have now. Its a shame.

Why did you keep training after you got your PR?

I saw Jake last saturday and hes lost weights and is a competitive runner now, so take everything he said with a grain of salt, or a taco. Secondly, the weirdo population is still impressive as stickboy and imposter Chuck, or possibly Chuck are still around. Also Kertes is dressing up as stickboy for halloween. As for the PR thang, thats just for the big lifts and its an option, not a requirement.

10/31 ME Bench

Bench-45x10x2, 135x10x2, 225x3, 275x1, 315x1 off 3 board, full range with shirt, 365x1(no touch?), 405x1, 3-board 425x1, shirt off 3-board, 315x7

Face-Pulls-140x20x3
E-Z Bar Curls- bar with 70x15x2

Mad Dog hit a PR in the bench with 445 today. This is the first time I have had trouble touching with 365, we had the shirt pulled way down and I fought it for a while but could only get the bar about an inch over my chest, Mad Dog gave me the press command and it flew up. 405 was a grind, it was ugly but it went up, I took 425 off the 3-board to get used to having heavier weights in my hands, plus this is where I always miss lifts. Anyway the 425 was no problem. After Mad Dog hit his PR he did the rest of his workout without a shirt on causing some people to stare and a couple to even make comments. During the workout we spent a good amount of time making fun of two friends that bodybuild and have come up with the following equation- Gynocomastia>Hypertrophy. Good times in the bathhouse.

Nice training session Dingus.. keep rocking it.

Olympic Squat-225x10x2
45 Deg. BR- 50 Reps (3 sets)
Decline sit ups- 3x10

Had to get this done pretty quickly as I had to go to class, I didn't hit depth on the first two squats in briefs and barely got there on the second set with 545. I couldn't set my feet as wide as usual so I will not do anymore squatting in the bath house. I went for a walk earlier to go vote and if I have the energy I will go on another one after dinner, which is steak.

[Dingus]

11/5 ME Bench

Bench-45x5x2, 45x10, 135x5, add foam, 225x3, 275x1, 315x1, shirt on full range, 365x1, 385x1, 385x2

-superset-
Hammer Curls-45x12x2
Rope Curls-70x20

The first set at 385 I racked it after one, even though the plan was to go for 2, my ass came off the bench. The second set I focused and kept it on the bench and I think I did. I noticed a major thing I've been doing wrong the past few weeks and this week I finally corrected it. I've been lifting my head off the bench when I have had trouble touching weights. Vincent told me not to do this at his bench seminar, I did it anyway. Today I kept my head on the bench and touched weights a lot easier than I have been. This made me feel like a wicked huge ******* for good reason. The rest of the workout went well, I noticed a pretty girl checking me out, this is rare as I am ugly, however I have big arms and sambas so how could she resist? I hope she is around when I'm in my briefs.

[Gable]

Awesome benching dude..

[Dingus]
