More Liftin' and Visiting the Doctor



Wow, what a visit. For a 250-260 (depending on the day and time) pound guy, my blood pressure is sweet. 104/62 -- what what? I'm not even trying to keep it down. I eat butter, whole eggs, salt, meat...all the things you're not supposed to. I guess it is all about training and not eating crap all the time (just some of the time). I'm waiting to get my cholesterol numbers, etc...so I'm not out of the woods yet, but close. I also got a tetanus shot which is making my arm pretty sore. I guess its necessary? There must be an abundance of rusty nails around for to step on. I also got to wear a sweet paper gown!

Training:
1) Deadlifts -- 5x5 @70%
*While deadlifting, I got a wild hair/bored and worked up so...this is how it shook out:
385 x3x5 (70% of training max)
405 x3
455 x2
505 x1
560 x1
385 x2x5 (to finish the 5x5)

2) Shrugs -- 5x10, finishing with 455

3) Rows (T-Bar w/V-Handle) 5x15

4) Pullups -- 5x1, 5x2 (Negatives)

5) Curls -- 3x10

I'm definitely good for over 600 in the deadlift. The 560 was pretty easy, I just got light-headed (maybe from the blood work earlier today?), so I called it.

No conditioning today -- maybe I should have, but I wasn't up for it.
