WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 13, 2010 DEADLIFT AT BALLY’s Rank = 7/10 Bally’s – not to whine, BUT, fat, slippery smooth bars 8 x 135 (4 conv, 4 sumo) 6 x 185 (3 conv, 3 sumo) 4 x 235 (2 conv, 2 sumo) (odd numbers because I add 25’s to save trying to add full plates w/o dl helper) 2 x 285 (2 conv) 7 x 235 At 235 an older man came over to offer some advice – he told me that he is 72 years old and has always lifted with moderation. Heavy weights are hard on your knees / cartridge – he was sincere and older so I thanked him. I added a couple more 25’s and he came over again – this time he told me that his friend used to lift heavy – today he is crippled – your health is most important…I thanked him again – a younger person asked me if he was giving me advice – yup – very motivating, I said. I did 2 reps instead of the planned one. Accessories: 3 sets of pull-downs at 140 pounds x 6 reps 2 sets of low rows at 140 / 160 pounds x 6 reps 2 sets of knee raises for abs with 25 pounds (harder than I thought it would be) EAT Rank = 7/10 Weight = 166? Shake 2 eggs, bagel with peanut butter grilled chicken breast, cornbread nectarine, banana chili, salad, cornbread shake SLEEP Rank = 7/10 (need 8-10 hours) Bed from 11:30 – 6:30 (took advil PM’s – helped, but not a long term solution) LIFE-STUFF Up and down energy wise, but decent progress. Work is going well, Home to give Kuma a bath this weekend – new pillows and pillow cases for her birthday! Not feeling like really pushing yet – but it’s coming.
