Day 1 November 24th

Twas a good day.

wokeup weighing 249.

As far as eating i kept it real clean. Breakfast is a glass of milk with a scoop of whey protein and a microwavable package of veggies. I had it figured that it was 42 grams of protein and 52 g of carbs. I met the girlfriend for lunch. I usually bring lunch if we eat together. She had a tuna sandwich and an apple. I had that sandwich w/o the bread and green beans with almonds.

I was a little later leaving the house than i wanted to be but i got to do everything i wanted anyway. My buddy wanted to play racquetball for a warmup so we did, i surprised the hell out of myself and won. Figured some base numbers for my friend (referred heron as his initial S.) that went lifting with me. He could DL 135 for 6 reps and BP 115 for 5 reps. So his initial weight for the 5x5 was 95 lbs. for DLs and 80 lbs. for BP. Initial weight is 70% of 5rm.

S. did:
3 sets DL, 3 sets BP, and jumped on the eliptical to wait for me to finish.

I did:
DLs
5@225, 5@275, 5@295, 5@315, and 5@325
BPs
5@185, 5@205, 5@225, 5@235, and 3@255

It was my intention for my last BP set to be 5@245 but i was already using the weights i needed to get that exact weight on my DL bar so i said screw it and loaded a lil extra. I was pretty happy with this, the most i've ever benched is 280 so 3@255 is good for a start.

We went back to S.'s house and i made him drink a scoop of whey with water and did the same myself. hey if i want a consistent weightlifting partner i need to make sure they see some success and ya gotta eat the protein to succeed.

I got home around 8 and the neice and nephew were over. ages 3 and 1. They are a lot of fun. After they left we had dinner, I had 2 chicken drummies and a little bit of rice with salsa.

Recently my girlfriend is having nerve pains in her back so i've been trying to persuade her to do a little weights to rehab herself. She obliged me and did 2 sets of DLs 15@27.6 and 2 sets of shoulder presses 15@20. Gotta start them slow.

plans for november 25th: sell blood plasma and go to the 6 o clock ju jitsu session.
