I think you’re so right. And I’m going to recommit to pushups and pullups again after my next meet.

Good job. Ms. Walford is about as motivating as they get in the DL department.
Yesterday’s tbar carries were stopped real short by a whirling windy, rainy snow front blasting in within minutes of me loading up on the field. Worked out ok since I was pretty tired just in general.
Tbar carries with blasts of wind 315# x total of 1070 feet
Pull ups at home 7,9,9,9,8, 7,6,5,5 then misc sets for a total of 97
Inadvertantly gave myself food poisioning that resulted in some serious GI upset that started yesterday morning.
The super dramatic, lay on the bathroom floor between episodes type. Had to call in sick to work…by the end of it I was 156# which is a good 9 pounds or so down.
Anyways, todays lifts were just for the sake of going.
Fs 45x5,135,185,195,205,215
190x10, 200x3, nope 210
180x3
Back extensions.
I feel ok but am behind on fluids. I do admit it feels pretty fancy to be a svelt and waterfree on my body, however its not gunna last.
Deadlifts endcapped with GI upset.
Things were going well on the GI front until that last set of deadlifts. Then my stomach revolted and I really wished I could have crawled to unrack and put the ets away…but that would have taken three times as long and I just needed to get out of there as soon as possible.
Deads 45x5, 135, 205,265,305,325,345
325x2,305x3,295x4,285x5,285x6 WHAM gut pain.
Gotta make to work. I get 20 hours of sick pay a year and I have nine left for the next 11 months…ugghhhhh… Pleassse be a passing gut issue! I can’t afford to lay on the bathroom floor all day today!!!
Today was better.
T bar carries 315# x total of 1070"
265# x about 75% around the field - I had to cut around a bit since a lady had her pack of border collies out on the other end of the field training agility. I will happily make room for any such gang of well trained animals.
Did some back extensions and they finally fixed the ghetto ghr again, so wild ghetto ghr’s as well.
Its super cold and icy today, a snowy Thanksgiving here. Moss is totally wild with cabin fever, nothing to do about it since its seriously far to cold for him outside. Just cardio and home stuff today, work later this afternoon for the holiday. I did do some ghr’s at the bb gym as well.

Border Collies and cabin fever; can you imagine THAT combination? Don’t you and Moss have matching leather bomber jackets or something?!?
BTW, I’m hosting a Pancake and Pizza party, after next Sundays meet! That’s right, read it again…Pancakes and Pizza. They’re pretty much my two favorite food groups so, you know. You are my first official invite; KS will be there I hope, plus a few to be named later.
I know your schedule makes it tough, so don’t be surprised if pics of Panizza’s start showing up here…
:D!!! NICE ERIC! Post meet MUNCHIN OUIT!!! :D!! Thanks for the invite!!! I of course can’t make it any work night but PLEASE post pictures!! I’m interested to see all the T Nation interwebbers if not in person at least photos! :D!! Have a spectacular meet too, please take tons of video!
Saturday I did cardio and some misc back extensions and chin up/pull ups at the bb gym. Push ups at home maybe 20- 30
feeling about 99% now after the strange week of gut issues and the resulting dehydration. But I missed out on Thanksgiving food!!! ARGGHHH!!! Working the holiday, GI restoration, and the snow icey road combination made it too much of a danger for me to head to my parents for grub. And my mom made a fat back turkey too!! ARGHHH!!! If I am lucky there might be a Tupperware container left over by the time I can get there Friday…oh I want green bean caserole so badly!!! Of course I coudl make it myself but then its not my MOM’S!!!
Today
dead lifts 45x10, 135, 205, 265, 305, 325, 340
That’s it–just felt like that’s all I wanted to do. I have to mess up my schedule a bit this week for work stupid stuff, so I’m crunching days together hopefully for lifts.
Push ups yesterday; 8, 12, 8, 5
Suprise 1am shift yesterday and a work thing today threw me a bit and called for a swift lift today. I might go back to the gym before job number 2 but I doubt it.
I have lofty goals but get seriously drained from work and being finacially just barely with my head above water. It makes no differance, it is what it is and I am by no means alone in this situation. I am lucky I can support myself however annoying and tiresome the things I gotta do to earn it are. I am gunna nap. Mossimo makes me wealthy beyond any scale.
I looked up a bit too much and stretched my trap a bit. Went ginger on it after :{
total push ups yesterday 20
A terrible euthanasia yesterday. Dog would not die. It was awful. IV catheter blew midway through and there was no going back to fix it with this owner who didn’t understand many things and was a panicking and at the verge of violence …terrible. For the dog, it was sedate enough, just a terrible experience for the owner who really was not understanding or comprehending, just lost in grief.
The front squats are sounding pretty good with the weight you are moving. The incident with the dog and owner had to be terrible. I imagine you do not get over or past that quickly. That side of your job must be pretty rough.
