“I’ll have you, Longhshanks!”
It’s PR Friday. Post weight lifted, gained, or eaten to comments.
The WFAC is better than your gym. I’m sorry I’m not sorry. When AC was here we filmed a tour of the gym. I believe this is the first and only video tour. Enjoy our improvising.
Note: I just realized AC edited out when I talk about my dog Leda. He is an asshole for that.

Oh, and the Texas State Weightlifting Meet is happening on Saturday. We were supposed to have 11 lifters going, but that number has fallen to 6 (including me). Here is the schedule. Ignore the roided up Incredible Hulk who appears to be blowing out the back of his shorts with a monstrous fart.
PRs this week
:
Deadlift – 355# x 5
Squat – 302.5# x 5
M/49/202#/6ft-1″
Isaac Newton won this week, but i did get 335×3 on deadlifts, i think i could have gotten 5 if i had my straps with me and my iPod battery didn”t force me to do it during some jonas bros. look alike on the gym tv/sound system.
BW PR of 205.8 pounds. Lifts are progressing nicely. I”m insanely jealous of WFAC.

Love the facility…dyin to road trip it there for a workout.
Why the fuck would that gym need elliptical machines…they need those like the gym needs a “leotards are mandatory” rule
I hope your joking.
He was.

Did a CFT on Monday and hit PRs on all lifts:
Squat – 336 lbs.
Press – 153 lbs.
Deadlift – 428 lbs.
Also hit a BW PR of just over 200 lbs. This is coming from a skinny fat kid my whole life.
I managed to get down 5 McDoubles, a large fry, and a medium vanilla milkshake. That was a crazy night on the shitter.
I hit a Bench Press PR of 185 lbs. x 5 x 3 with a pause on each rep. I like that style better. It”s easier on my shoulders.
It is a nice gym….
But it still need more COWBELL!!

Also, really awesome display of lifting some heavy weights at the the TX State Meet today.
Note: I was not one of these people.
–Justin
I think one of my favorite things of watching videos of you guys training outside of WFAC is everyone in the background watching in amazement.

apparently my scale is lying and i”m not 185lbs, i”m 165lbs. i”ve swore to my self to not wear a t-shirt until i”m 200pounds, i”ll hang around with a hoodie or jacket or something all the time(except gym).
I wanted to hear more about Leda. I love dogs.

Press: 105×10
Bench: 175×8
Squat: 255×9
It”s a testament to how good that gym is that I looked up how long of a drive it is from here (Toronto), saw it was 22 hours and 2300 km (1430 miles), and still briefly considered driving down.
^^^^
Hey Grumble,
I”m going to Rippetoe”s SS seminar in Florida this week I”m coming from Toronto.
It is worth it. This knowledge is for life.
A little late, but I just ate a monumental breakfast
4 slices toast w/2 tbsp butter
9 slices bacon
6 eggs scrambled in bacon grease
27 giant eagle tater tots
20 oz milk
1 grapefruit
= 1,954 calories
102g fat
169g carbs
102g protein
Late as well… but only just realizing how I only fit in one pair of jeans and one pair of dockers. Strongly recommend buying the Dockers with the elastic built in for you other new guys. This is sort of a problem, I bought a pair of suits last spring…alterations are expensive.
edward,
you are a gentleman and a scholar
another late one, however, this can be taken as good news. From my log:
Meal 4:
Deep dish papa john”s veggie pizza
– 1200 calories
70s big shake
– 2500 calories
3700 calories for meal 4.
Am i doing it right?
First, I”m 235 and I am a former vegan. I was veg for a full year 5 months being vegan. It is one week today since I started eating meat again.
Today after my workout I ate
1 scoop whey
1 cup pea pods, 1 cup green beans, 1 cup broccoli in asian spicy sauce
chopped green peppers,onions, and mushrooms
10oz local grassfed ground beef
3 strips of niman ranch bacon
all cooked in bacon grease!
Delicious
