Awesome day Tim. Get some sleep and enjoy the holidays.

[Brian C]

Really good session bro. I wouldve came over if I knew you guys were squatting last night. I feel you on the OT. The city kicked our asses the last few days standing out in this sh1t for hours at a time. Just zaps your motivation to do anything.

440x1(went for second but nothing left)

pull ups sets of 10,8, and 8
lat pushdowns 3 x10
tri push downs 3x15

Feeling tired and crappy this week. I have been having these issues in lat right behind shoulders(like across shoulder blades). Slowing some of my benching down but usually hurts the worst for next 2 days.
Going to miss Saturday training again this weekend do to family stuff, so may train on sunday. Have to see if i can shake my cold by then.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL

[Beaker]

you were about 3/4 of an inch from having that second rep at 440 up yesterday and it was nice and stable the whole time, it wont be long before you get that one easy. Pile on all the extra hours you've been working with the snow and its not hard to see why you're tired. I appreciate all the help you guys give me especially on squat days.

[Coke]

Damn, you are a great bencher even when you are sick, lol.

[Barbaccio]

440x1 - While sleeping and vomiting and blowing your nose = 585 raw bench when you're healthy. LOL

[Clorinator]

Jesus dude, big squats and benches going on in here. I can't imagine how strong you'd be if you had a desk job.

[sambone]

I'm convinced Tim is not human.

[Geometheus]

Wow 440 raw bench while feeling crappy is impressive.... I think we all wish we felt crappy enough to do that.. haha. Keep up the good work and big numbers.

Felt ok tonite. My raw strength is way up right now. Shirt is still little loose, can get it on myself. Going to try boiling the shirt this week to see if I can shrink it(per Tone and Rock). Weight was 260 tonite.little too high(need to loose 5lbs). If that doesn't work might order something new.

[Brian Hopper]

Damn Tim, Nice work on the bench and the squats....good job!!!!

[Brian C]

Great benching as usual bro. I hope to be back soon with everyone

[t gale]

Thank you to both Brians. Today's training didn't go quite the way i planned. got thrown a couple of curve's and I never really handled curves well.

speed pulls
315x3x6sets

wide grip pulldowns 3x10
lat pushdowns 3x10
db row 70lb db x 35 for both arms.

That was that. Not very motivated , nothing good going on, but not going to worry. Planning a meet for end of Feb or beginning of March so not to worried about access day, as long as I hit main days big and hard.(haha I said big and hard). weight was 257 today. that's a plus
