[Coke]

Good job with the back-to-back efforts bro.

[jed]

Thx CoCoa I've just been feeling good on bench and clean lately, coach says he wants me to set goal for 300 bench by football. That's a little steep, I have it at 275 so when I smash it I get a self esteem boost!

Check Up:

Bench has gone up atleast 15 lb since 6 weeks ago.

Clean has gone up 20 lb since 6 weeks ago.

Squat is around the same, maybe +5 lb but haven't maxed it since.

Power Press is feeling good and easy using a 225 for max. Scared to max it even on max day though, that's a lot of weight over your head.

Deadlift has gone up about 40 lbs, but have only done it 3 times of the 6 or so weeks. Feels great when I do it though.

Weight up to 189, ate a lot of mcdonalds tonight though, might have broke 190!!

[Coke]

Awesome hearing your numbers are rising...taking it to new levels with your hard work ethic Jed.

[jed]

Yesterday was terrible for lifting, squat was horriffic and BW was crazy low.

squat supposed to be 290 3x3, did 275 3x3 almost didnt get last set. huge de-moralizer...

DB Rows 45lb 3x8

pullups 3x10

Front Lat Pulldowns 110 3x10

T-Bar row 3 platesx5, 3pp+10x5, 3pp+20x5

lower back ext. 3x8

weighed 184... WTF?? lost FIVE pounds over weekend... *****ing pathetic.

ran the X twice and some short sprints. 12.69 new PR for X but i think it was shorter than 10yd wide each.

i mowed and got the engine runnin on mustang that night tho, so that kept me from getting totally depressed.
