The Epic Tale of Jed, Conquerer of Iron!

Just deleted all of the about me cause it always changes, check out my facebook if you want more info.

TODAY: Today we maxed on Bench, Pullups, and Hang Clean. I started off cold with pullups with palms out shoulder width grip and got 13, fresh off is when i can do the most pullups, and I do them before anything every day. Next I went to bench after watching a few funny bull***** maxes and sat down and did 135x5, 185x1 and then 205x1. 205 was easy so I put on 225 and waited a few minutes to try it out. The big line coach got behind me and slapped my face a few times wich got me pissed and I wasn't used to that and I went down and up easy with perfect balance on each side. Next we put on 235, I tried and failed wich drained some energy, so we put on 230 and I just barely got it. I was mad I didn't get 235 but I'll smash it next time. Next i went to hang clean and did 135x3 and 155x1 and then stopped at 165x1, IDK why i'm not very good at it but i'll work on it. That was today, I'll post this differently after max week but I figure i'd turn on [story mode] for max week.

Good luck dude. Wish I had been serious about lifting when I was playing HS football. Looks like you've got a good foundation so far.

Thanks Buzzsaw

Not a bad day of maxing today, even though my squat wasn't what I wanted. I'm pretty wiped from plowing after lifting also so i'll just post a quick overview of the max day.
Started off with squat, did 135x5, 225x3, 295x1 and then waited a bit and did 315 easy I thought. I let my partners go and we put on 335. I wasn't too self confident about this high of weight, wich is probably why i failed in the first place :P I tried and failed, only got it about 1/3 up after paralell. We knocked a few lbs off for me and I ended up with 320. My parters went to 385, congrats to them!
Next was Push Press. I did 135x3, 165x1, 185x1. I then tried for 195x1 and missed but i waited a few minutes and concentrated more and nailed it. I stopped there because the spotter had his hands touching so I figured if I added more it wouldn't be legit.
Went to dips (IDK why we max on this?) but i got 32 bench press dips and then 17 'real' dips. I shake like a mother on those!! Well that was my day quick, now im at home mourning over the death of my amazing car, visit the thread here if you'd like to post your own story: http://wannabebigforums.com/showthread.php?t=92505

FEB 14

Pretty dissapointed in myself today, maxed Powerclean, Incline and pushups. I did clean 135x5, 185x1, threw up 205 easy and then tried for 225. Got it about 3/4 of the way and put on 215. I tried it and failed, I was very mad at myself because I got 215 3 months ago and should have increased atleast 5 lbs. But I waited 5 more mins and tried it, thought about it more and nailed it but 225 still didn't come. I guess it's too intimidating for this time.

I went to incline and did 135x5 and 155x1, then tried 195x1 and failed. Came back 3 mins later and did 185x1. I'm not too worried about incline, I only do flat bench usually anways. I went off to pushups next and did 40 total, no rest and fully down. Don't ask me why we max on those!!

Big lunch today and decent supper, i'm working on my breakfast! I'm eating till I can't eat anymore but still staying at 175, that 8 lbs just isnt coming back!! Oh well, i'll give it another 2 weeks to get back to 180-185 and if it doesn't happen i'll go into depression.

Got a WEIGHTROOM 3 ON 3 BASKETBALL TOURNY TOMORROW, IT'LL BE GREAT! All the meatheads playin on a 3v3 bball tourny! Hopefully Friday weights will be open so I can figure out a deadlift max.

FWB 15

Had 3v3 WEIGHTROOM ONLY bball tourny today, was pretty fun. Our group got 3rd out of 5, we consisted of 2 linemen and 1 fullback, so take that, group of halfbacks and receivers!! Didn't lift on account of tourny, wish it was open.

FEB 16

Didn't lift today either, there's a 50/50 chance of it opening on Fridays and it wasn't our lucky day today I suppose. Went into town and messed around with friends and ate like crap, had a #4 at mcdonalds double 1/4 lber with cheese and large fry/coke and sundae. mmm mm good.

your pics are sick man, your erectors are HUGE, good luck with the lifting, ill definitley be looking in.

Thanks alot dude, comments like that motivate me alot Mind if I ask what erectors are?

the muscles along side your spine

Oh hehe cool, how do you work those? Maybe i've been working those and not even knowing it.

deadlifts do the trick.

oh, it must be genetics then. I JUST picked up olypic bar deadlift about a month ago and have only done it serious a few times, but plan on doing it alot more thanks for your comments guys, cant wait to get back to liftin monday.

Update: just added some more pics to the bottom of first post.

Well woke up at 2:30 pm today and ate at about 5. Had some eggs,tots,bacon,cheese and some grapes. Along with a glass of milk, fish oil pill, whey and creatine. Ima try n stuff somethin down later tonight for a snack. Jordanbcool helped me figure out how to post my fitday, so here it is: http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJ...?Owner=jed2009 thanks jordan.

weights was a killer today. our workout for today was:

4x8 squats 205x8 225x8 225x8 225x8 THAT KILLED hard to breathe afterwords!!

pullups 1x8 , 1x7 , 1x5 (fatigue)

3x10 45lb dumbell flat press

3x10 40lb lawnmowers

1 set of 7/21's (curl halfway up 7 times, other halfway up 7 times, and full ROM 7 times)

very very weak today I know, but instead of 5 poeple in there it's about 50 today, in a 100ftx100ft weightroom with 3 squat racks and 3 benches and 2 clean/DL stations and 2 racks of dumbells. the JV bball team came in to max since their done, and the girls track came in after while and seriosuly stood there and took up half the god damn space. our coach now only gives us about 45 minutes to lift wich is NOT ENOUGH in my opinion, and every day now we do plyos, today they were:

dynamic stretching high knees, hip stretches, etc.

standing broad jump 30sec x2

standing (vertical?) jump 30sec x2

line drills (moving feet over a bball line/tile very quick and back) 30sec x3

linebacker drill (run 5 yds left, 10 yds right, 10 yds right again) 4 times or however many in 4 minutes (we had groups)

about freaking puked afterwards, i havent ran since football got over like 4 months ago!!
