Thanks Dday-
almost happy new year as well
actually I am eager for 2012 to get here.
You are a much stronger presser that I am. Nice work.
krocs for 100 x 20 is good stuff too.
Have a good new years. Hope you don’t have to work.
I’m impressed by those pendlays. Know I know what I have to do to bring up my deads.
PS - thanks for the details on the dude you ran into at your gym. His total is huge for raw dog’in at 198.

F##K! Are you good at everything?!?!?
Have a great 2012 ya filthy animal.
Y’know, your work has you hoiking heavy things so much you may simply be getting to much biceps work, causing an imbalance. I bet if you did straight arm db rows that tendonitis might go away.
You clean and press more than me and I don’t recall you ever making it a priority lift. I has a jealous.
stopping in to say hi!!
Thanks for the e support people!!
I might try to train today.
maybe
Git- thanks-
Its the speed coming off the clean that keeps those presses moving
OP thank you- pendlays do help with deads.
truth be told I think RDL and front squats is what drives them up the most for me
Kent- happy new year to you too!
Hardly- but I will thank you for the compliment.
thank you.
Tony- I checked out those straight arm row-
watched a video and think that + triceps work might do the trick
going to lay off pullups for a bit too.
as for clean + press- 205 is about as much as I can power clean
without it becoming painful on the catch
the press - I m probably getting much more leg drive off of the catch
probably more of a push press
Im going in early january to an olympic lifting place with the guy from my gym…
I would love to get up to a 225 full clean and jerk
MinM Hai !! thanks for the visit
I have a balky elbow which hurt when I did (relatively) heavy barbell pressing, 1-arm DB pressing, and then chinups (this started to worry me, the other exercises I expected it).
Now, I am much, much better. Only occasional twinges.
What I did: high rep, lowest weight, cable machine with rope attachment, tricep downward extensions before every workout; using Fat GripZ on my DB presses, and also DB curls. Read some stuff about how gripping stuff the same way (i.e. same size bar for every movement) stresses the forearm muscles in the same way, over time results in overuse pains which can show up in elbow.
Really solid work. And an oly gym? Nice.
Happy new year.

I see your fallouts. I think you need some video as well.
Have a great new year and all the best to your family.
Excellent training as always!! Always impressive, Kev. Seriously.
And I also vote for vids of fallouts!
And yay on the Oly gym! hee hee hee, just might head up to say hi. Actually, my cycle this month has hang cleans and hang snatches, but I want to pull some from the floor on the next cycle - heading up there will make sense. So YAY! Tiny super jocks unite!
Happy New Year, tough guy! See you in 2012 bud!

Thank you Lexi
Thank you Joe Good!!
MJ glad to see you too thanks man.
Holidays are over and I am relieved.
spent New Years Day with my side of the fam-
all 3,456,780 people all trying to feed my kid.
Do other peoples babies really not want to eat?
Rowan ate all day
My inlaws drive me crazy
my fam drives the wife crazy
amazingly they make me nutz too.
So the quick synopsis
4 out 5 teens - one was on ‘punishment’
a 5 y.o. a 4y.o. my kid and a 16 m.o.
all of whom are now taller then me -
destroyed my Mom’s house.
My sister who is kind of ‘special’
columbia Law Grad and now PHD wanna be- has zero brain power
and nine million allergies
sent an email claiming the ‘smell of Hot tomatoes or Sauce’
made her ill- sent this the Day before new years
after everyone sent emails about what they would bring…
Including the 45lb huge baked ziti we made.
needless to say it went over great with my wife…
my sister and law- and wife- told my sister to eat on the porch.
awesome.
That sister brought her ‘new’ girlfriend but had to sign her out of her ‘treatment center’
for the day cause she got her ??? DWI
it was her older kid on ‘punishment’
amazingly the ‘new’ girl is pretty much the same personality as the ‘old wife’
toxic x2.
My one cousin showed up - she is 40 and now a grandma- you do the math
hey it happens.
my other cousin showed up- complete with
kids
wife
gifts
neanderthal table manners
and his 45 ( in brooklyn in the HOod)
actually he is a US army ranger First Sgt instructor for special warfare outside of FT.Bragg
so I guess he was traveling light.
to put that in persepctive - his brother
whom they shared the same room till they both moved out
was a Navy type did his SEAl training then after completing
his first year
training they found him another job
good times.
the OLY - gym is more like a visit
Its like a PAL - thats police athletic leauge
with a club.
we will see what happens when it happens.
1.3.12
training
PVC agile 8 at home
more mobility crap at gym
1500m row 6.12
activation

B trap bar dead low handle
225x8,315 3x5
C BSS 40 4x8-10
D seated Ham curl 50 reps r.p.
E leg press calve 100 reps r.p.
Notes
this ‘cardio’ at the beginning is ok- I think its a good balance of warmup and semi taxing energy work
I just need to add a second session at the back end- either complexes some kind of tabata or burpees.
My low back was super tight- and something mid thoracic was not cool either from last weeks OH pressing
surprise !
Front squats- felt good probably could have doubled the 295
wanted dbls on 275 did a bunch of singles instead
switched to low bar trap deadlift- Git is right these are kind of like a leg press.
just did a few sets for a bit of volume- was kind of done squatting
but needed some volume
BSS- I love to hate these- think I really need to do one day of unilateral stufff
instead of two lower days a week with one or two unilateral movements if Im lucky
lets see if I’m smart enough to do it.
other stuff- just for some volume
I need to do more direct calf work- more for crap ankles than calve swoleness
thanks for reading this mini Saga.
Shit. That was entertaining to read.
But you obviously had your share of drama so I’m glad you can get back to “normal” (whatever that is).
Damn I thought my family sucked! Glad you made it through that fuster cluck but I did laugh.
Strong front squats, 295 is work.
one of the best posts ever, lol
Late to the show here but thanks for making my life feel real normal.
GREAT LIFTING, I think You, Matty, and I need to do an NYC deadlifting debacle day. I’ll bring the chalk.
WORD! lets do this…
Hey Kev I think your family and my family should get together, they would get together perfectly!
I am with you bro, I am happy so happy no more family holidays
