 @DannyJ It is great to not be addicted to sugar. I watch my coworkers and friends struggle to turn down donuts and pop all the time. It's not too bad once you abstain and then feel what it's like to try a donut again. Literally sickening. My biggest problem is when they're offered for free | ||

Therefore, my numbers are just embarassing Running is just so much easier to organize and it is also very rewarding right now. I joined a weightlifting club a while back though and I have started to learn the Clean & Jerk :-) But I really miss being strong. Being strong is probably the thing that I will miss the most when I'm dead. | ||

It's basically the whole package. and don't forget to mention that they are the closest in the world to come close to a hulk-a-like figure. I fucking love Rugby. | ||

Rugby players tend to have tree-trunk blocky legs and thick torsos. | ||

But in rugby you've got people his size that play for 80 minutes straight along with having incredible ball skills and game sense. USA rugby team actually has a guy that used to play in the NFL (tight end for the Eagles I think) that can't crack his way into the starting lineup yet due to skills and conditioning. Also, keep your eyes on Jarrod Hayne this year on the 49ers. One of the top rugby league (slightly different code of rugby) players decided to give the NFL a go. Had a great pre seasonal and first game (despite dropping his first kick return) | ||

Just hit 170*4 for Squats today. Friend told me my estimated max is 190. Should I go 170/180/190 for the meet? Btw testing DLs this Friday. Supposed to do 170 for 1-4 reps. Think it's okay to try 180 if it feels good? | ||

Yeah probably not NFL material, but a lot of NFL guys wouldn't make it on a professional rugby side either. Here's Jarryd's pre-season highlights: Fucking steamrolls the DB at the end lol | ||

The crazy thing is that I pulled 160kg with really fast speed, but struggled with 170. Seems like a mental barrier to me too EDIT: 160kg warmup the failure in all its glory | ||

Hit a 200 lb bench for 3x3 yesterday. Also hit 185 for 5x5 on sunday; 185 for 1 was my all time PR before starting texas method. 295 for 3x3 squats tonight with no problem. Felt heavy as hell on my back, but almost no work at all out of my legs. Had to take video to make sure I wasn't cheating depth it felt so easy. Deadlift triples for 135/225/295x2/335/365/385 afterwards. Double overhand to 365, hook grip for 385 though I'm not sure if I needed it. Little bit of back rounding on the 2nd and 3rd rep of 385, but I hit all three clean and it's an all time PR. Felt pretty good - everything is on track for 225/315/405 by the end of the month. Actually could probably hit them all now for singles, but I'm not changing anything since what I'm doing now is working. Biggest rugby match of the season on saturday. Will pretty much determine if we're the 1 seed or the 3 seed when playoffs roll around in two weeks. Should be fun. | ||
