exactly! My last day at work is friday..I can't wait. I averaged 50+ hours all summer, it was killer. A couple hours a day of classes is gonna seem like nothing. I seriously am so excited to start. I'm moving in next friday. I already talked with a couple guys that want to be workout partners. It's gonna be sweet.

Weird day today. Decided to randomnly go to the gym at 930pm. Did pretty good though.

Warm up Squats (to the floor)
135 x 10, 185 x 10

SLDL
185 x 6
200 x 6
These felt good. Should do more weight again next time.

DB Lunges
55's x 6
55's x 6

Felt like doing biceps for some reason too...
DB Curls
35 x 8, 40 x 6, 40 x 4

First time doing 40's so that was sweet.

Yeaaa but I gotta be careful with my stomach problems. Even though I plan on playing Edward 40-hands on the night I move in.

Nailed it.

Flat BB Bench Press
165 x 6
185 x 2
135 x 10

Incline DB Press
60's x 6
60's x 6

2 sets of 10 pushups. Wide, then close.

Skullcrushers
75 x 6, 6 presses
75 x 6, 6 presses

Triceps were on fire by the time I got to skullcrushers. 165 felt awesome to do. The guy I was with wanted to see if I could get 185 up. Had a little bit of help on the second rep but it was pretty much all me. Good day today for sure though. I'm still hovering above and below 165 weightwise, so I can finally do bodyweight for reps.

Nice, bodyweight for reps is a good milestone. Now you need to start gunning for the 2 plate goal.

Rode 20 miles on the Erie canal yesterday. Then swam all afternoon at Conesus Lake. Not a bad way to spend the last days of summer.

Moving in at SUNY Brockport tomorrow morning. I'll try to get to the gym there but I'll probably be too busy unpacking and meeting people.

Been having a lot of fun moving in and meeting people. I checked out the gym yesterday and tried out most of the equipment. It's pretty nice, theres more racks and benches than my old gym so that should be good. That is all, I'll be starting up tomorrow after classes.

OK and I'm back to posting.

College is awesome, I'm having a great time...
I've still been lifting consistently and playing on the rugby team here at school. I've been having trouble eating enough to support lifting and 2 hours of practice everyday, but I've still managed to keep my lifts going pretty well.
Now I'm taking some time off from rugby to make some money and also focus again on gettin those numbers up. Physically, I feel really good, especially with the cardiovascular improvements from all the running I've been doing. But, winter approaches, and it's time to focus on eating and gettin bigger. So anyways, I'll just go back to postin my numbers and getting feedback from you wonderful folks. I've been using a slightly higher rep range (8-10)...just because I felt like it I guess.

Incline DB Press
60's x 10
60's x 10
60's x 8

Tricep Pushdown (Nautilus thing)
220 x 8
200 x 10
200 x 10

Cable Pushdowns
125 x 10
125 x 10

DB Flyes
20's x 10, too easy
25's x 10, better
25's x 10, probably up it to 30 next time

2 sets of 10 pushups to finish off
