wont be long till I get 225 lbs

friday will be the next day in the gym probably, plan on just sleeping and eating a lot till then. Weight has plummeted to 175.8 lbs (~79.9 kg) and I think I saw an ab trying to sneak out

Stopped at the gym before coming home and didn't have the right shorts for squats, so messed around with bench and stuff. My car has been dead all last week, so haven't been to the gym in forever. But, it's back to life now and was happy to finally lift something.

Crazy DOMs coming on in front delts just now. That's the only place I get them from benching, so not sure how bench is a chest exercise

Squat
10xbar
10x95 lbs
5x135 lbs
3x185 lbs paused at the bottom
2x2x205 lbs
2x225 lbs
1x235 lbs
Fx245 lbs

2x8x185 lbs terrible

changed a bunch of little things about my form, narrower stance, toes more straight, arms under the bar instead of back, head neutral. I'm always much weaker after a week off, so will see how form tweaks effect things after I get back into it. Already, thinking I'm going to widen stance a bit, but so far I like the toes not pointing out so much and if I can keep my head straight when it feels heavy I think I will like the new neck position as well. Was hoping someone would be there to get video, but was the only one in the gym till just before I left.

Need to gain a couple more pounds for buzz belt to fit right again. Am back up to the 3rd notch, but it's just a bit loose for my liking.

Haha! I just laugh because I've been there. Multiple times. I think it's the high temperatures and humidity.

Good luck with the new job! I'm in the same boat, kinda, too.

Nice job! I still think I might catch up to you.

Well, I started my current job about four years ago at $10.00/hr and have since received two raises, bringing my current wages up to $10.37/hr. I have become the most productive employee and have been entrusted with ever more complicated tasks. I'm supposed to be grateful I've gotten a raise at all. Some people never do. Also, people have gone behind my back to make up stuff about me and told my bosses, which they have written me up for, and used as an excuse to not give me a raise this year. Also, they are currently squashing more employees into my work area, cutting all our desks in half to make more space, and renting out the newly emptied office spaces to other companies. This is a blatant attempt to make us all want to quit, because if they fire anyone, they will have to pay unemployment and they want to avoid that. So, I've been looking for a new job and hoping for part-time work so I can become an entrepreneur. I want to own my own business someday. The cutting the desks in half thing is the last straw. Ridiculous!

Was a fun day in the gym today

8/13/2012
Squat

5x95 lbs
5x135 lbs
3x185 lbs
3x205 lbs
3x225 lbs
1x235 lbs
1x245 lbs
1x250 lbs

Overhead press power clean first rep
10xbar
5x65 lbs
5x85 lbs
3x105 lbs
1x115 lbs PB
1x120 lbs PB again
2x1x135 lbs push press PB
2x135 lbs full clean only PB as well i think, maybe
10x85 lbs strict

3x3x85 lbs power clean

Pullups
3x5 hammer grip

I think clean technique is okay now, since it's way easier to get the weight up. Wanted to get video, but was the only one in the gym till I was already about to leave.

I start with the barbell closer to my toes and with a lot more knee bend than when I deadlift, then sort of pull the bar into myself as I jump my quads into it and shrug up, then I catch it. That's the best way I can explain what I'm doing. Does that sound like what I'm meant to do?
