Training 01-06 and 01-08-2012

Had a big session on Sunday and a few guys came out for it. Martin came down from the Phoenix area, Zac came out, Tim and another guy came down from Oro Valley as well. For me it ended up being a fun testing session. Nothing Max effort, even though some of the thickbar attempts were over my current strength levels. A bit sore still from the volume of good work put in. Friday was just a quick 5 min gripper workout in the evening.

Finished the Training room remodel finally

We had a good hard push over the long holiday weekend and finally finished the training room remodel. It came out good. Still need to build a workbench and move everything back in but here is a video of how it came out. Final tally was Bricked in an old unused exterior door (double brick), furred out walls and insulated, drywall, added a couple outlets, Hand plaster finished, replaced window single pane with Double pane on side window and made new window frame due to wood rot, hand made craftsman style trim on windows, replaced exterior door, door frame, and surrounding framing, made custom the brick mold trim for the opening outside, relocated switches and boxed in casement window sills with wood over the original brick, paint, and cut stall mats to fit, Took almost 8 months of spare time. Hopefully it will look like it is original and that I never touched it.

My last training day of 2011 and pinch was feeling good so I decided to do a test weight at 242 in between my worksets. It came up no prob and tried to get a 2nd rep with it 20sec later but barely broke it off the ground. Real happy with this. Was sore for a few days after.

12-25-2011 training

Just getting caught up on some of these workouts. This one was from Christmas Day, which proved to be interesting. About midnight or a little before Christmas morning I woke up with my gut feeling a little weird. Well within 20 minutes I had projectile vomiting and firehose butt at the same time. Stomach flu. That lasted for a around 6 hours and then I was able to rest some. Did grippers later that afternoon to stay on schedule but was still feeling pretty weak.
