Still playing the more narrow stance. Used a 4-minute rest today in between sets. Utilized the belt for the last set.

Bench press was wobbly, but doable. Still working on timing.

Started to jump back- need to jump up instead. Faster elbows and louder feet as well.

I was hoping to be up to 170# by this week (currently at 152#), but the eating part is hard for me. I haven't planned out my meals that well and it's been costing me a bunch. I really need to get a mini-fridge in the gym asap.

Craig made me narrow my stance for the backsquat. I let my hip go a couple of times, but at least I grasp the concept.

The nerves in my arms still fire off if I'm not careful of controlling the path of my elbows.

Failed 5th rep twice before using a belt. The bar should be held closer during these maximal efforts.

20

Fri 26MAR2010

BS 20 60 80 90 103. Squat was easy wearing Brady's Karhu's.
P 20 30 40 48. Focusing on elbows' movement mad it feel slow, but smooth.
PC 40 60 80 82. Janky. I'm not releasing the hook grip enough, so my rack position is ugly. Still need the intensity to land quicker and harder.

3 min rests. Lost balance in last squat set. Need to set my chest better before squatting. Still have some nerve pinch in press. I can also keep the bar closer in my deadlift. Lockout can improve as well.

Finally got my Adidias lifting shoes! Lost my balance in my 2nd squat set. Didn't send my hips back enough. I missed my 5th rep on my second bench set. Last set felt the best, but I don't feel completely solid with the bench yet. Power cleans were shit until my last set where I was aggressive as hell.

Squats didn't feel solid. Need to reach back.

Still need to reach back further on the squats. This felt heavier and I attribute that to not eating properly. Shaky during second set of bench. Grip gets lost in DL.

P 20 30 40 50-51-52. Felt too easy so I moved up each working set.

Geeked

First off, Han Solo encased in carbonite soap? Yes please.

I was never really a big fan of the original TRON, but the sequel coming up is peaking my interest. This is good news seeing as I haven't been geeked for too many movies. The 2009 ComiCon trailer was great:




And the newer trailer is pretty awesome too.

Clu/Flynn and crew look badass


Sucks that it comes out in December. I want to see this in IMAX with the Daft Punk soundtrack pumping loud shit. They're filming parts of the movie in near IMAX presentation (meaning big-as-fuck picture).

Check out this dope fan-made trailer for the original TRON:
