Sorry I haven't posted lately.  I had to completely reboot (I think that's the right term) my computer.  I lost everything I had except the important files that I saved on a zip drive.  I played around the last week trying to find my new plan of attack.  I think I'm on to it.

  • Deadlift: 255x3/290x3/325x5/3x5@255
  • Pull-ups: 10x5
  • Dips: 5x5
  • FBB Bench: 210x5/240x5/3x5@270
  • Hammer Row: 2x20
  • Side Raises: 50

I haven't done a great job of updating my numbers.  I feel like I've been doing the same thing each week.  Nonetheless, I'm making progress.   In reality, I could do the exact same numbers for months at a time and if I concentrated on moving the bar faster and faster each session I would continue to get stronger.  This gives me an idea for my training during football season.

I feel like I'm getting the fire back.  The last two weeks have been busy.  I had 35 freshmen football players, 3 volleyball and 3 women's basketball players show up.  This doubled my workload.  Today I had the whole women's basketball team at 6am and will have the whole volleyball team at 3.  I am in full swing summer training mode.

And, to add insult to injury, it just started raining - HARD!  Looks like breakfast is on hold until it lets up.  I'm not walking to my truck in this.

Other fun news, we made our switch to Under Armour as a university on Friday.  I really like UA gear.  The only problem is I don't have much of it, yet.  I am  a gear whore, but not in the powerlifting way.  I love athletic gear.  With the massive discount I get I'll be replacing all of my Nike and Russell gear (our old sponsorship deal) with UA.  I'm already up to 10 t-shirts, 5 pairs of shorts, 3 pairs of shoes and 2 1/4 zip pullovers (my favorites) and I haven't even gotten my football, men's and women's basketball and volleyball gear, yet.  We're looking at 2-3 more pairs of shoes, probably another 10 t-shirts and hopefully 3-5 more pairs of shorts.  Football will get me some 1/4 zips for the sidelines along with at least 1 good winter jacket.  Our HFC designs our hats, so I'll be custom ordering my own for sideline wear.  I'm very picky when it comes to how good I look on the sidelines - and I look good.

The next step is getting rid of all the Russell and Nike gear that I can't wear in the weight room anymore.

Other than 4 or 5am wake-ups the rest of the summer, life isn't to tough.
