Wow, awesome PR on the weighted dips, chin-ups weren't too shabby either. Weighting in really light but was an afternoon workout fasted. Need to eat more though.

Ok session. Shoulder presses should have been heavier. Pull-ups were good to shoulder height. Had my locker at the fitness center broken into and $45 stolen from me. That was great.

Solid session after a gluttonous Christmas. The scale at the gym there I don't trust all that much but all the food didn't seem to hit me too hard. Power cleans are feeling better each session and would probably feel even better still if I had lifting shoes on instead of runners. Front squats were solid and I'm happy with what I hit but think I could have done more. Back squats were deep. Turkish get-ups were feeling good and it's nice to be back at them.

In Leduc for Christmas and managing to get some workouts in. Weighed dips seem to be going well and pull/chin-ups have been shoulder to the bar. Deadlifts were solid, as were cleans. I feel I could probably pull more on both but the bars here and super thick. Also did TGU's for the first time in a long time. Fucking weak but what else is new...

Solid session except for the fact I'm fucking weak, but it's been a while since I've done front squats so that's what I get. I'll use this as a basis for my FS 1RM and start plugging away. I've also decided to revise/reinforce my goals. I guess they're goals for 2010:
-Front Squat 1.5 x BW
-Deadlift 1.25 x BW
-Weighted Dip 0.5 x BW
-Shoulder Press 0.8 x BW
-Weighted Pull-ups ? x BW

Didn't hit the required weights for the weighted dips. I don't know if I just didn't have it in me today, if I wrote down my last 1rm wrong or if the plates were off at the last gym I went to. Putting up bad chin/pull-up numbers but I think it's because of a different type of bar/grip angle. I think I'm getting higher up but less numbers...

Back at it in a reasonable gym that I can do some power cleans in. It's been a good long time so I just took it easy and worked on getting some volume in. Deadlifts felt good and 300 was pretty solid, with only my grip giving out a bit.

First workout at the new community center. Beautiful brand new facility with pretty much everything I'd want. Too bad I'll be leaving town in a month. Solid workout. Happy with what I pressed but chin-ups were sucking. They've taken a dive the last couple weeks.

Where to start? It's been a rough month. I injured my lower back on Oct. 25th and have been slowly making a recovery. Initially I could hardly get out of bed in the morning but have made reasonable progress managing to perform good mornings, back squats and the odd deadlifts workout. My back was feeling good but I tweaked/over worked it again while at work and was set back a couple weeks. I'm pretty fucking weak lower body wise but I guess that's what you get for not deadlift and squating for over a month. Front squats weren't feeling 100% so I've decided to go over to back squats; it's been a couple months. Added to injury I've been having to go to different gyms because my old one closed. I'm having a bitch of a time getting into it and feeling the workout mindset in these different places, they just don't have the vibe. To top all of it off I've been working my self ragged at the hospital on 12h shifts. I was feeling a bit stronger on the back squats but then worked a 4 day schedual and had nothing in the tank after it all. With all the doom and gloom though I've managed to make some good PRs on the weight Dips. Chin-ups have been going up and down though. Only 3 more shifts at the hospital and then I'm done and can get some sanity back in my life.
