Training this week(deload)

As the title says, it was a delaod week, and a well needed one at that.

Monday i did ME drinking. I maxed out @ seven(7) 32oz Green coors lights, Two(2) Green Miller lites and one(1) non green miller lite, which i was highly pissed about. How is a place that calls themselves "tilted kilt" not gonna have green beer on st patricks day. fuckin Micks.

I did most of my training at a gym called O'keefes.

Wednesday I we did a light lower body
Front squats
barX8
135X7
185X5
185X3, bar still rolls on my shoulders

SL deads
185X8X3sets

GHR 1X6, just messing around.

Thursday was fun. Started out with an extensive dynamic warmup then went into box jumps

i started with the 18" box did 2 sets of 8 jumps
then worked up to a 21" pedistole for 2 sets
then was gonna try the 32" platform but i feared being knocked on my ass by the beam that was close to my head, so i decided against that
But i did go out to my truck(F150 with a body lift and big all terain tires) and jumped onto the tailgate. I put some cinder blocks down to jump off of and did that 3 times. It measured out to about 30"s with the cinderblocks, 40+ without.

then we did some random bush jumping, which was funny as hell. Elliot was clearing a big ass bush.

Then i did some speed jumps on the 16" box
2 setsX 12 jumps in less than 25 seconds or so.

Tried to do a couple kneeling jumps just to finish me off, but on my first one i barely made it so i figured id just stop there.

Today was an accessory day and i put up some serious volume.

Started with average incline DB press.
55X10
75X8
95X8
110X8
120X6--PR ... I probably could have done the 125's but i was already getting looks from my loud grunting and shit. I dont like comercial gyms, did i meantion that before?

then straight bar curls (bar weights 30 or 35)
65X10
85X8
95X8
115X6
125X5

then BW dips, which i hate
BWX10X2 sets
BWX8X1

then Fat Vbar lat pulldowns
150ishXreps
180X10
200X8
220X6

this ones a weird one. I use the pussy squater( the machine that sits on a pivot and you squat up and down with the weight sitting on your shoulder like a safety squat bar) and do standing shoulder press with it.
2 platesX12
2 plates/2 25'sX10
4 platesX10

then did some time on the tred at a slow trot.
followed it up with Mike and I doing up the cicis pizza, Oh yeah!

training on 3/13 amd 3/14

Last Thurs we did farmers again.

i did 2 trips with handles+ 4plates/hand
then another trip with handles+ 4plates and 2 10's/hand

then we pulled/pushed the van.

2X50 ft pull with no brake resistance/ 2X50 ft push with no brake
1X50 ft pull with medium brake reistance/ 1X50 ft push with no brake
1X50 ft pull with hard brake resistance.... that was freaking hard!

then blue(hard) band tricep pushdowns
3 sets X res

Then did the wrist roller with 70 lbs on it 3 times each way, which finished off my hands quite nicely.

Friday i did a accessory day but i dont remember what i did, and its not really important. I know some curls were involved and some shoulder presses were also involved.. oh well
