Squats
Today was long but fun. My daughter had her 9th Birthday Party and to celebrate we went to the Zoo. The walk took about 2 hours in the sun and heat. I came home after had dinner and Birthday Cake and fell asleep for about an hour. To say the least my head and body wasn't into Squatting today. Seems to be a bit of a trend for me lately. Oh well it is summer.
Leg Swings and Stretching.
Squats - 135lbs/10 reps, 225lbs/8 reps, 315lbs/4 reps, 2 sets/1 rep/405lbs (no belt, no knee sleeves), 2 sets/1 rep/405lbs (just a belt), 3 sets/1 rep/315lbs (with belt, speed)
Ab Sling Knee Ups - 3 sets/12 reps.
The first specific core work I've done in a while. Felt pretty good. The RAW squats felt good. I really need to work on my confidence and thus speed. I'll stay at 405lbs for a while until the confidence comes back.

Walking
I haven't been posting this but my lovely wife and I have been walking in the evenings. Until tonight the walks were about 2km and it took about 25 minutes. Tonight we "stepped" up our walking.
Walk - 4.18km, 48:30 minutes, 633kcal, 11:35 min/km.
I feel great! We also want to increase the distance to 5km and eventually start some jogging. Now that things are getting interesting I will start posting our walks / jogs.

Deadlifts @ the 17 Wing Strength Club.
If you look back in my blog you will see I started the 17 Wing Strength Club back in 2005. Now that I'm back at 17 Wing it is time for me to re-acquaint myself with my baby. The club is located in the basement of the 17 Wing Gym. Raw concrete walls and exposed pipes in the ceiling makes this gym very hard core. I felt inspired and my deadlift work out was pretty good considering I haven't pulled properly in a while.
Warm Up
Leg Swings and Stretching.
Squats - bar/6 reps.
Working Sets
Deadlifts - 120kg/6 reps, 160kg/4 reps, 200kg/2 reps, 240kg/1 rep, 250kg/miss.

Dumbbell Rows - 2 sets/10, 8 reps/100, 120lbs.
As I haven't done much deadlifting my hands are burning right now. I do feel better for todays work out. As I always do.

Squats in the new rack
I really like my new rack. Here is a picture of the set up.
Yesterday was Squats. Still not motivated to go crazy but I felt much stronger yesterday.

Leg Swings and Stretching.
Squats - bar/6 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 315lbs/4 reps.

*ample rest between sets*
Pump Phase

Cardio
Walking - 2km, 25 minutes.
I really enjoyed squatting. The weight was enough to respect it but light enough to focus on some technical issues. I was interrupted during the pump phase so I called it quits. The walk after really hit my core and did in fact pump up my legs.

With the move to Winnipeg happening next week I am very busy getting everything ready. Doing some light unorganized training is keeping me calm.
Warm Up
Leg Swings and Lots of Stretching.
Squats - bar/10 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 4 sets/1 rep/300lbs.
Deadlifts - 315lbs/6 reps, 315lbs/6 reps, 405lbs/3 reps, 495lbs/2 reps.
Not too thrilling but at least I got to play with the iron. I'm not sure but today may have been my last day training at the 14 Wing Powerhouse. I had the honor of training with Michael Young today. At 17 years old, 6'2", and 205lbs he is one of the best squatters I have ever seen. He has been training on his own and is looking for a coach. Damn! My timing sucks. Training him would be great. Too bad I am leaving. Pay attention to his name you will see it again I'm sure.

Not too difficult. The first set was with out a belt or sleeves. After the 2nd set I tried on my two squats suits. They fit really well but holy crap are they not fun to wear. Next three sets were dynamic. Quick and easy.

Deadlifts
More of a social work out today. I got together with a good friend of mine who is a certified Cross Fit and Olympic lifting coach. We spent more time talking about training than lifting. Very rewarding.
Warm Up
Leg Swings and Stretching.
Squats - bar/6 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/6 reps.
Working Sets
Deadlifts - 315lbs/6 reps, 405lbs/4 reps, 495lbs/2 rep, 565lbs/miss.
I was given a great quote from my training partner today after I missed 565lbs. "The difference between an amateur lifter and a pro lifter is that a pro lifter doesn't do battle with the weights. The weights are simply a tool to improve strength and missing a lift is just part of training". This makes a lot of sense to me. Weights don't take lifting personally, why should I?

Warm Up
Leg Swings and stretching.
Bench Press - 135lbs/12 reps, 225lbs/10 reps, 315lbs/6 reps.
Power Phase
Bench Press - 2 sets/1 rep/337lbs, 3 sets/1 rep/359lbs.
Bench Press (with Titan RAM) - 359lbs/3 reps, 385lbs/2 reps, 405lbs/2 reps.
Support Work
Lying Dumbbell French Press - 3 sets/12 reps/35lbs.
Seated Dumbbell Curls - 3 sets/12 reps/35lbs.
Bent Over Barbell Rows - 3 sets/12 reps/135lbs.
Bench Press is feeling stronger even though I'm not following any sort of structured program. Playing with the RAM was fun.
