Okay, no big deal today. 225 for 5 on close grip was nice. Tomorrow I am going to pick up heavy things off the ground.

Quick question for you on your dymanic warmup. How essential is listening to Metallica while you do it?

Just as essential as it is for Sang-Rok to have China Delight for lunch, without it you can't live.

There it is, cross a 500 deadlift off the list, we are on to 600 this year. Weighed in right at 178 today. It feels good to pick up heavy things off the ground. And thank God that I don't have to lift weights tomorrow, I think the 225 good morning for 15 was worse than the 500 pull. Hypertrophy bench Saturday and Hypertrophy squat Sunday.

Im not sure what I am more amazed by, the 500 pound deadlift or goodmornings for 15 with 225. ANIMAL!

Thanks man, I hope the dynamic warm-up works well for you.

Money, 350 for 9 was nice. I felt so physically ill afterwards it was amazing. I definitely fell asleep from exhaustion between sets of chin-ups. I think my legs are still purple from the occlusion as well. Off tomorrow and dynamic deadlifts on Tuesday.

Two workouts to log here. But first, if you do a Ph.D. in exercise physiology please understand that when you take a class called Organ Physiology you will learn more information in a week than you have in your whole life.

No assistance work as last week I maxed on deadlifts, so I just did speedwork this week. Off tomorrow as we get ready for the real deal. Heavy bench Sunday and then heavy squat Monday. Time to get some rest. I think I'm going to eat 3 steaks tonight.
