I wrestled and played football in high school, played a little rugby in college but wrestling and football are just a little too competitive in the Big 10, plus I don't really have time for that anymore.

Hooyah Big 10! What school do you go to?

No honestly I never tried.  I am at my biggest right now and I weigh a little over 210.  If I played any position it would be defense and I'm not fast enough for the secondary and not quite big enough to play linebacker.  Like I said, it is the Big 10 and these guys are pretty monstrous, If I was in a Div 2 school I would have probably considered it.

thats a difficult weight to have if you were to wrestle too.  you would either keep that weight and wrestle monsters at 275 or have to cut to 189.  unless there is different classes in college. 

WTF are you doing drinkin that nasty ass cuervo for anyways?? you gotta be drinkin Don Julio or Patron.  Dont mess around with anything less.  Now thats some good advice right there! LOL

Yah i'm trying to decide if I would rather go to a D2 school and play football or just go to D1 but it's kinda early to think about that anyways, still have highschool (: I heard D2 wasn't that hard to play though.

connelly- aim at getting bigger stronger and faster and then re-evaluate your choices once you are a junior/senior in high school.  I've seen kids get crazy growth spurts that really put the spotlight on them when it comes to scouts.  But like I said, aim at going to a D1 and set your sights on it, if it isn't for you then I'm sure you can play D2.

kubs-  haha I hate cuervo, but it was the lesser of two evils.  Some raspberry vodka or cuervo, I hate flavored liquor so it was an easy choice for me. 

oh dayum, your lifts are strong.  You look like a beast too.

working on explosive phase
vertical: 35
weight: 206

Big 3: 300/440/515

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.

thanks man!

Well I'm supposed to have weekends off from lifting but I felt like doing something today, I hate being lazy.  I gave a tabata routine a try and damn they really do suck.

Pushups for 20 sec
rest 10 sec
BW squats for 20 sec
rest 10 sec

Repeat 5x

Needless to say, I wanted to do more but it kicked my ass.

Dude I've never done bb lunges so I was just gettin the form down.  They are definitely a keeper though.

Bench day

6 plates x 8
6 plates + 2 25's x 5x2

After this I got bad pumps in my arms again and It got really painful.  I have no idea what it was from, possibly the heavy deads and hammer curls yesterday.  I don't know though, no supplements.

Anyway I did some side raises and that was all I could manage.  Gotta get this figured out.

your back to school now right? i bet your drinking like 15 giant energy drinks a day.  LOL, thats it!

haha yea I'm at school.  I usually do drink an energy drink or coffee or something but yesterday I literally had nothing but food.  I think my forearm flexors were just sore from the heavy deads the day before and trying to stabilize those 110lb db's just made it even worse lol.

i hear ya on the db's.  those are a whole other workout.  did those for a couple weeks.  its funny draggin the 110s around.  thats a workout in itself.

lol it's funny because I was pretty easy pressing the 110's but just getting them into position was definitely a workout in itself like you said.  My stabilizer muscles had a field day.

Cardio:

Another tabata routine with bw squats and situps

BW squats for 20s
rest for 10s
Situps for 20s
rest for 10s

haha those were fun, I was surprised I had enough energy for that after all my other lifts.  Still a lil pissed that I missed 315, hopefully I get that soon.

135lbs dips!! bloody awesome...keep up the good work =)

Awesome dips! With bench it seems for me if I get 1 heavy single before maxing I am more acclimated for the weight and do better so:
225x5
250x2
295x1
315x1
And you could skip the 250 if you wanted.
