VA weather is all jacked up

Our weather isn't bad, but the National Weather Service just interrupted MSNBC to issue a Winter Storm warning for Wednesday. That's some thing I've never seen before. People act like they've never seen snow down here. It just snowed for 15 minutes 4 years ago.

Not that anyone cares but me :), but I set a new personal record on the bench press Friday and a new personal record on the military press today. ND has gotten into Mobility WOD to mobilize my very immobile lower body (primarily hips and ankles). There are good and bad weeks in weight lifting...the last week has been pretty good. I'd offer up my new 1-rep maxes, but I don't want to embarrass myself, LOL.

As long as you're doing more than the bar you're good ;)

Whatever. You're stronger than most guys here, I'd imagine. People always have these numbers in their head of how strong they think they are, but in my experiences the reality is harsh for most of them.

LSX are you on xbox or ps?

He's on PS3. Anyone here have PS4?

i am not a heavy lifter, i value my flexibility and joints.
i do 250 push ups and 120 pull ups a day then go to the gym 4-6 days a week
usually 3 sets of 8-10 reps
i mash so i will not be caring about 1 rep max...but good for you

total sarcasm here...i am just a lil guy who just started actual consistent gym workouts...sheriffs academy doesnt value heavy lifting

I do crossfit 5-6 days a week. I haven't done 1 reps in a while. I try to go 4-6 months between attempting new ones

The 1RM's he's talking about aren't actually one rep. Wendler uses a calculation to figure it out from your sets. Triples are the most accurate but it works with any set. I've found it to be very accurate over the years.
Also I dig crossfit. Just be careful your programming isn't killing you. Those 5 day a week met-con boxes scare me.

I've never actually tried to put up a 1rm, but it is a gauge that lets me know what, if any, progress I'm making. I know this...I'm a lot stronger than I was when I started weight lifting 18 months ago. I just hope maybe it'll show up in the batter's box this year, LOL. Fingers crossed :).

core strength is huge...i lost 20 lbs preparing and during academy, havent lost any power but gained alot of strength
we would do circuits and 3 set weight training with body weight exercises between sets and a ton of track and long distance

I agree that core strength is a big deal. I'm trying to strengthen mine. Deadlifts will help. I've been doing the ab wheel once a week and band twists once a week. I'm adding planks this week and possibly russian twists. I've read stuff about crunches, weighted crunches, weighted leg raises, etc, but my preference is ab exercises that stabilize the corps while strengthening it.

and what an asshat...not u fly
HAHA! The funny part is that I read the other two before I read this one. Well played, sir. :bigok:

Good stuff man! Doesn't matter how much you do, as long ad you're seeing improvement and happy with the results.

That being said, I'm glad you didn't post your 1RM's.... I'd feel like a weakling :eek:

He don't know me very well either.. Lol. Just because I work out a lot doesn't mean I'm strong. I'm weak. :(
