Very nice backload. I guess I am on the train now as well. After my main training days and after my PWO shake I take down a lb of red potatoes, bag of chex mix, 4 poptarts, a bag of popcorn, and a buttload of bbq sauce with my chicken but it sounds like I got some more work to do.
You are talking about single ply nationals in Orlando?

C'mon man, there were no munitions hanging under the wings of that Tomcat. What's up with that?

HAHA. Thats what I said. Apparently, the day before, it was fully loaded but no one could move the thing. They emptied something like 8,000lbs of gas so that everyone would at least be able to get it to move.

Video of benching today... Nick was taking some candid 'in between' footage. This was actually one of my more serious training sessions... I am a dumbass:

How do you feel after backloading like a 80$$? Do you think it affects your sleep?
I can get away with a pretty big meals 1 hour before sleep (i.e. recent PR of 24 oz of chicken and 16 oz of steak, a cornucopia of fruits and veggies + 200 grams of sugar from cake and candy)

As long as I stop the backload around 9pm, I feel fine. Anything past that and all of the sugar makes me feel like a honey badger is trying to eat it's way out of my bowels.
Saturday- Returning to parasympathetic dominance/wanted to run myself into the ground- 4-7-12-
My secret fat burning breakfast:
A gallon of coffee mixed with coconut milk, 20g whey, 5g creatine. Chugged.
Secret fat burning workout:
Prowler w/ 180lbs. Suicides. 10 yard intervals for 30 yards... this is 120 yards per suicide if you are counting. High handles up, low handles back.
3 suicides in 12:17 actualy trip time. Didnt keep track of rest because it really doesnt matter with this.
Rolled out my quads/it bands, pretty sure I saw a viking fly by on a teredactyl... he had a megaphone in his hand and kept yelling "Open your mind, Quade" at me. Either the world is finally turning into everything I have ever wanted it to be or I have the Prowler AIDS.

Those suicides sound brutal. I may need to get in on those to up my conditioning, so I can just hulk smash all the speed events at my next comp.
Strong work as usual man.
The suicides almost made me commit suicide. Shit is nuts.

Sunday-4-8-12-DE Lower- 11 weeks out- This week is a tansitional block. I've got a lot of time but want to get work in my gear. Most of this week will be raw, but heavy.
Sumo Pulls- Quaded Minis- 315x3x1, 405x9x1<~~~ pretty quick. These always scare the shit out of me because of my hamstring tear. They felt pretty solid today
Close Stance SSB GMs- Bent knee- 75x20, 165x4x20
Barbell Side Bends-135x3x10
Back Ext.- 30lbs x 3x20
Tire Flips- 400lbs... I knew this was going to be bad today. Since the pollen count is more pollen than air, I was already having an asthma attack from the rest of the workout. I dropped the tire on the ground, hit the stopwatch, bent down, got my first flip. While taking in a huge, deep breath and dropping down for the next flip, the jarring of the tire hitting the ground released a green poison death clown that seemed to bee-line straight for my eyes and open mouth. After about 5 minutes of choking and clawing my eyes out, I managed to get my shit together enough to finish the fucking exercise.
Tire- 400lbs- 50 flip in 4:10. PR.
Now I need to go find one of those high school science lab eye wash stations and hope to god this headache goes away at some point.

IW Grip-275x25
Kroc Row- 60x10, 110x10, 160x10, 210x17

Thursday-ME Lower-4-13-12-
Warmed up
Squats to soft foam and a below parallel box + 250-275 in band tension-
bar x10, 135x5x3, 225x2x3, 315x3
Added Suit bottoms (Can't wait for my T-REX to get here... that might actually fit!) and belt
405x3
500x3<~~~ goal for the day. This was my old 1rm for this variation... but something broke in my head and I needed to feel more weight on my back
550x3<~~~ best set all day, still felt like I needed more. I usually don't get too fired up when I train but I was going ballistic at this point
585x3 <~~~ first two were hard but I got them pretty smooth. Number three I would compare to when you hear those stories on the news about moms who pull cars off of their trapped babies after an accident. The strength to do this just came from... somewhere? I don't know where. I honestly didn't even remember doing the rep once it was racked. I had to watch the video to make sure I did it.
Wide Stance Straight Bar GMs- 135x5x20
Just stopped. My head was killing me from a mix of breathing in more pollen than air and my spinal fluid felt like it was running backwards and was composed mostly of napalm.
Training after some morning clients then heading out of town for Dustin's (Ultramegasweet on here) wedding... beers will be drank.

Friday-4-13-12- DE Upper
FB Bench- No bands or chains, shoulders are still sore from tuesday-
205x12x3
2 Board- 255x6, 305x6, 355x6
Push-Downs/Wide FB Curls-
Avg x 50/75 x 41
Seated OH Push Downs/Rev. Grip Close FB Curls-
Avg x 37/75x30
Feeling swole... head wasn't really in it today. I feel hungover from squatting yesterday... and maybe from the beers I drank immediately post workout as well.
