Getting Physically & Mentally Stronger Through Barbell Training
Some of my posts you might have missed:
And some posts I came across this past week you should read:
Are you a little crazy? Do you think (and do stuff) different? When you die, what legacy will you leave?
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Think different.
RIP Steve Jobs.
Pain in the Ass..err...Shoulder
What started out as a crappy week actually ended up pretty good.
For some reason I was feeling gassed and light headed after 5x5 squats that I ended up skipping out on the overhead press on Sunday (volume day).
On Tuesday (recovery day) I didn't warm up my shoulders properly before power cleans. Ended up with pain shooting from both of my shoulders right down my arms, and I decided it probably wans't a good idea to do bench press that day.
However Thursday (intensity day) was different. For squats, what felt unusually heavy last week felt quite easy this week.
Also for overhead press, I'm inching closer to 3 reps with 205lbs at a bodyweight of around 190lbs. I'm aiming to hit a 225lbs 1RM by the end of the year.
Anyways, a few things I've come across this week that are good to read:
Keep lifting, keep progressing & have a great weekend!
