Good Mornings

Good training today. I need to work on front squats...They're ugly. WAY ugly. Two things- I programmed way too heavy (pathetic right?) and I need to work on my form. Other than that great day.

Stairs.



I lied- I was going to shut down training for a week because my love affair of punching inanimate objects but my hand is healing up nicely. Pressed today, everything felt good. Nothing crazy. Dropped dips today because I cannot fucking stand the POS dip stand in the gym. I've tried every way to do dips on it and it destroys my elbows every single damn time.

Did stair sprints today. 5 stories up the barracks. Did three sets. Started to see jesus so I called it. It felt awesome to feel my quads and lungs burn for a change. Back feels ok. No issues there. I actually did half the obstacles at the 25th ID Obstacle course Wednesday and I actually felt legit. No back pain, so it's time to up the conditioning.

Anger issues

So I did something retarded that involved a right hook and a metal locker....No broken bones but I cut the living shit out of the top of my fingers and knuckles. Swelling has gone down and I had the audacity to attempt deadlifts wednesday. I got the big lifts in but that was it. A bloody mess.

I'm calling it on training for the rest of the week. I'll see where my hand sits monday morning.


Don't punch lockers.

A word on Anger...

As of late I've had a few "outbursts"..Maybe it's my "Give-a-fuck" meter bottoming out, maybe it's been the full moon I don't know.

Generally people piss me off. I know I am not alone on this, I know I cannot be the only person that wants to detonate when someone says/ acts/ does something that acts against the common sense **insert chosen deity** gave you. I am only half kidding when I tell people I want to go live on a beach in Portugal and never speak to another fucking person again.

How the hell did I grow to hate people so much?

I have a faith in humanity for the most part but when it gets to the point where my wife has to tranquilize me and strap me into a Hannibal Lecter- style dolly replete with bite mask and strait jacket JUST to go to Walmart? Yeah I think I have issues. I don't LIKE to be angry..quite the opposite. It just happens easy. Am I weak willed? Do I need to become a monk? Live in silence? Drugs?

I'm tired. Time for bed.

Training. Bench

Db bench

               Felt good today. Always tweaking my bench setup. Found a trick to get tighter in the setup that worked like gangbusters. Training in the evening without having been up since 2am was actually kind of nice for a change.

Been working with a new weekly setup

Mon- Bench
Tues- Deadlift
Wed- Conditioning
Thurs- Press
Fri- Squat
Sat- Conditioning
Sun - rest

Going well so far. Training every other day sucked and honestly I feel like i'm getting more out of it. I found myself getting perilously close to putting more into assistance work than the big lifts. That shit shall cease now. Started incorporating Front squats into squat day. Those will be done before reg squats. Behind the neck presses into press day along with close grip bench press.....and LOTS of deadlifting.

Despite wack ass schedules and regularly scheduled bullshit training has been going very well. Of course a few shit days here and there but that's to be expected. The time for my exodus from the ARMY is getting closer. I haven't even taken a chance to be excited about it yet. Too much to get straight before I can take that relaxing breath. Like find A FUCKING JOB!

I've been looking for a gym in the Beaufort area to train at and I'm thinking the YMCA will be my best bet. There's a 24 hour fitness knockoff but after seeing pictures of the inside I'm not too excited.

Diet has been locked in pretty well. Giving the ketogenic thing a run again. I didn't say carbnite because it's not that. Carbs around training and after and fruit. There is not a motherfucker on earth that will tell me it's cool to eat bacon with every meal but an apple will make me fat. Dafuq out of here with that. We'll see how it goes. I did 10 days 30 grams of carbs and below. My mind and body took to it alot quicker that last fall. Gonna stick it out this time.

That's pretty much it.


Welcome back to thunderdome.

And as quickly as we left- we have returned.

Been a couple of months. Needed a break to get my shit in order. Not that any of you assholes have been reading. According to my graphs only folks that read these musings are in the old Soviet Union.

Interesting.

Well gentle reader- the infernal claymore has returned. Front towards Everyone.
