Well, changed my training a bit. Had a bit of a break. had one good training day and the last two have been crap. 250 x 2 log press clean each rep. Should have been easy. Kept messing up with 220. Got 7. have done 9 in the past. Deadlifted 525 x 2 yesterday. Should have been much stronger. What the heck's going on?
Started working at a hospital. Moved out of my home. haven't been sleeping well. Eating has been good. overall very tired lately. What the heck? Going to regroup and hit it hard friday. Can't be going backwards! Stay strong Dan!

Its been a while
Well, the semester ended yesterday. Our class did the traditional go to Atlantic city and monster amounts of fun. Super Duper night. School forced me to take some time off from training. I was mad at the time but taking time off is something I really need to do more often. Good to let the body and mind heal as well as get stronger by doing nothing. I was pleasantly surprised how well I did today after a late night. (I laid it all out on the dance floor with patented space aged moves)
I hit a 240 x 6 log clean once and press for reps a few weeks ago in training also. My strength is traveling up with my waist size. I did it for the ladies. I measured my biceps today cause I'm narcicistic and my right bicep was almost 16.5" Thats not very good but it was about an inch smaller in college and I was the same weight or heavier, so there's some progress!

I don't even want to write what I've eaten so far today. Feeling sick from last night. Ate a bunch of pizza and pretzels last night. I'm living with steph now in collingswood and we're eating really well but you'll have to take my word for it. I also have been doing one of those beefy shakes every day too which makes it easy to get a bunch of good calories in per day.

"I never let my schooling get in the way of my education" - Mark Twain
Thats my excuse for writing this blog and not studying for my exams this week right now.

Dynamic Warmup
Deadlifts touch and go

315 x 5
405 x 3
455 x 1
455 x 10 -PR - belt and straps. getting better at this deadlifting stuff.
So we train in a shed next to a park seperated by a small section of woods. We made a small trail to the park so we can use the pavement to do yoke and farmers and drags. So greg and I are taking this yoke through a winding trail with poison ivy and thorns hanging everywhere. We get about halfway and greg gets a giant thorn stuck in his forehead. this beast of a thorn isn't coming out. We try moving forward and his face is getting pulled back by the thorn bush. I almost dropped the yoke because i couldn't stop laughing. I had to take it easy the rest of the session because I couldn't stop laughing about it.
Yoke a doke
360 x 200'
590 x 100'
640 x 100' - smooth no drops. Didn't feel like going heavy.
Sled arm over arm pull followed by reverse drag x 75ish'
Worked up to 860lbs x 3-5 sets.
Good day. Matt brought the italian hoagie shop today and was smelling like a star. Between that and greg's thorn in the face I'm surprised we got anything accomplished today.
And Im not going to write what i ate today because I have to study. AHHH!

You know they mad because I'm hood rich
Back from the dead.
Apparently in physical therapy school they frown upon extracurricular activities of all types. The past week I had 7 exams. Needless to say I spent my time getting a knowledge beat down at the library at school. I did not train for 5 things. I'm spent man. It hasn't hit me that I have 3 weeks off from school yet.
Man, not training for a while had 3 effects on me.
1. I was not tired in the morning even with less sleep. hmm. i guess this crap takes a lot out of you. Go figure.
2. I was not hungry. This sucked. I stuffed myself anyway. Everytime I deload and don't eat enough I get weaker so I didn't want this to happen.
3. I now have super powers like allow me to communicate with animals. You would not believe what the llamas had to say.
