Tuesday- The guys (powerlifting)

Hi everyone,

Well this was a deloading week for the powerlifters. All this week we will be doing "Old School" bodybuilding. The style I use is Arnold and Franco from the seventies. Lots of 8's and 10's. This give the body a break and builds good quality tissue.

Monday-
Squats- (75-80%) 2-4 warm ups x5 reps, then 3x8. Add weight to each set until the last set is a true max effort for 8 reps. I went 365x8, Joey did 415x8.
Front Squats- 2-3 sets x 3 reps, the last set was 275x3 reps.
Banded Leg curls- (heavy tension: blue bands) 3x15
Abs- Glute Ham Machine sit ups- (weight on the head) 2x20

It was nice to be back in the gym with a purpose. Austin and Adam are now chasing the old man (me) so it was nice to kick their butts tonight.

USPA report

Hi Everyone,

Two week ends ago we did the California State USPA powerlifting meet in Fresno, Ca. We had a great time together. I took Joey, Adam, Austin and Kyle with me and everyone lifted great. Joey set 4 American records and Austin and Adam had a titanic battle at 181's and Kyle lifted well at 220's.
It was a good meet, well run and the judging was spot on all day.

We had a blast together. We had the best Chinese food I have ever had in Fresno at the Golden Horse. The plates were huge and we ordered more food than could fit on one table, so we had food on two different tables. LOL! We laughed so much and eat way too much. I love my boys! I can't wait until we go to Monterey, Ca in June.

Great video to inspire you

This is Sandy doing 65 lbs trushers with one arm. She only weighs 120, but she is as tough as they come. Sandy broke her left elbow a few weeks ago. Enjoy the video.
