Quad training at the West Michigan Mecca and some diet updates

I wish I could find a Nautilus Duo/Poly Hip and Back machine.

The demons always come back, mind you, but as long as I have a key to my gym I can stay one step ahead.

The purpose of this log is to take a peek into a training session featuring competitive women powerlifters. Crystal, Juju and Mz. Dawn take you through a RAW squat and deadlift training session.

Finally back to logging - don't hurt me!

Legs, head games, fixing squat patterns, pushing through, getting it done.

and some accessorizing.

Finally getting back on track.

Hit up a commercial gym today for my first training session there. It was kinda nice to use the machines... not nice that too many people try to talk to me. I need headphones.

William Rosecrans has more influence than Moses

Back and deads are probably one of my favorite sessions. Today proved to be no different as I smoked myself. Pics and videos included.

The Adaptation Phase Is A Pain In The Ass... And Delts... And Quads... And ...

Why are they not used anymore?

(Back and Bis)

Boob or shoulder did not fall out so all good news.

After bombing out while attempting a record setting 916lb squat Duffin spends time evaluating the constant chaos and stress in his overburdened life and the need for change.

I think the key to coaching large groups of athletes is to find those exercises which beginners can do correctly from the giddy-up and that they can actually get some volume in as well.

Things continue on the up and up..............

Bench day... woot! Love some volume pressing. Shoulders get a tad swole. Stress takes a little toll but the goal is to stay focused, and take one day at a time... training, diet and life.

Now back to being productive...I hope

With video

Legs, legs and more legs. Love leg day. It's tough, challenging and really requires some mental fortitude. Just what I need as of lately.

Don't take a bad day into the gym.

The purpose of this log is to illustrate the sheer amount of volume that a world caliber lifter puts into a training session to help him/her prepare for that one max effort press in a meet. Training RAW (for the shirted bencher) helps fill in the gaps that can be exposed as a shirt, in addition to allowing you to press more weight, can also exponentially expose your benching weaknesses.
