Freakin' Bloggin' Again

Stopped blogging a bit ago. I start again. Stuff has happened. If you know me or keep up with me on YouTube, or Face Book then you know what's up.

Started Wendler's 5,3,1 today. If you know the program you know why my numbers are so pansy-ish. I do feel as if I can do more, but I will stick to the program because I want results, and I am in this for the long haul. In the almost two years I have lifted weights I have not been structured or disciplined about it at all. I have been all over the place, and that is why I am so weak. This is the reason I do 5,3,1 now. Here are the numbers for day 1 of week 1:

4/10/12

Warm up
OHP 45x10

OHP
85x5
100x5
110x9

Shrugs
135x7
185x7
205x7 trying to find my weight , and reps for this as I have never really done shrugs a whole lot.

BB Reverse Wrist Curls
45x12, 10, 12, 11

and that's it for today. Went pretty quick, and didn't feel like I did a whole lot, but that's what the program called for and that's what I did.

I also did a grip workout yesterday. Here are the numbers for that:

4/9/12

Grippers
T   R x 20, 15
     L x 20
#1 R x 5,7,5
     L x 10
#2 L x 5,5
#2.5 L x 1,1,1,1,1  You will notice my right hand did not squeeze bigger grippers. I still have a little difficulty with the hand, and do not want to exasperate the situation. Slow and steady wins the race with this one. Btw, my left hand has not only caught up with my right, but has now surpassed it. Getting my set down real good with lefty too. Maybe that's a cert hand now.

1HP to basically help my hands warm up for 2HP. 2x35# Plates
RHx 1,1,1,1,1
LHx 1,1,1,1,1

2HP
100x5 hops (hops are bringing apparatus to full extension, letting go, and grabbing apparatus before it hits the ground again... for future reference.)

120x3 (I started to get loose skin on the thumb of right hand... just a little, probably from the hops, lesson learned.)

150x2
170x1,1,1
175x1
180x1,1,1
185x fail, skin tore off RH thumb.

Real happy with this pinch workout. I see progress coming soon. Need to kick Jason's ass next year... I mean kick it hard. ; )

Out,
