Ok... so today was a fucked up day... This morning I tried to call Vicki (the girl from the Vegas trip) - and left her a message on her cell phone that basically said I was "done" with the situation and done waiting for her ... and that I was not going to be text messaging, emailing, or calling her anymore - and that I was removing her phone number from my cell phone (which I did once I hung up the phone)... Felt pretty good about the decision because it has been going on for far too long.
Was a good day... then as I was driving home I got a phone call from a number that looked familiar, but wasn't listed in my cell phone... So I answer it thinking maybe Vicki wanted to explain to me what the hell was going on and why I hadn't heard from her in a month (since she told me she loved me)... Instead I hear a guy's voice saying "Who is this?" So of course I say "This is Aaron, who is this?" "Mike" "Mike who?" "Mike, Vicki's boyfriend Mike"
So I just said "Whats up Mike? How you doing?" and he immediately starts with "I know you're sleeping with my girlfriend" - which is a complete lie... he starts claiming he was having "us" followed and knows that we have been together and basically making up a ton of crap - none of which was true... and claiming that he knew all about it because she admitted it. I explained that it would be impossible for her to admit to things that never happened, so I really wanted to know when we supposedly were doing these things - because I really wanted to remember... Finally he seemed to get the point that I knew he was lying... and started to go into "I know who you are and where you are..." and I cut him off saying "Mike, are you about to threaten me? Because if you are that would be a bad idea because you are a politician" all of a sudden he got real nice... and started telling me how he screwed their relationship up and he knew that it was almost over... and that he knew she and I were friends and that we still talked... and that he followed us when we met up (which didnt' happen)... then he said "Listen... I just want to ask you to back off until she and I are through... then she is all yours" ... I told him I didn't want her... It was funny because then he started telling me how she was great, but just had to work though some of her issues - almost like he was trying to convince me to take her after he was out... very odd.
By the end of the phone call I had him practically feeling sorry for ME for him calling me. It was a really really strange phone call. He got my number off her caller ID because I called her home phone before the cell phone...
Anyway... had to share...

Behind the Head Rack Chins:
LT: +25lbs x 19 RP
TT: +35lbs x 15 RP
*damn hard... got the top of my head to bang into the bar on rep 16, but didn't go past so I didn't count it.

Floor Deadlift:
LT: 315 x 4; 275 x 8
TT: 355 x 3; 285 x 8
*Minor jump in weight ;) .... Rep 4 I got about 3" off the floor, but I couldn't hold form if I went any further...

NOTES:
Pretty happy with this workout... I was seriously having doubts about the jump on declines - but I just took some extra time to really get myself pumped before the set and it worked. On the deads... I don't know I just thought going up 10lbs sounded like too much of a pansy move... and I was feeling like a forklift so I wanted to see what I could do.
 
In case anyone is really bored... I decided to actually get into the holiday spirit this year - even though I don't really want to... here are some pics of my christmas decorations: www.ptaaron.com/christmas/
Not really feeling the holidays though - this time last year is when the ex-wife and I were just seperated... oh well. Old news. The future is better :D
 
Workout 4 (modified)
Did this workout at a different gym than usual - so I had to change my quad and calf exercises.

Seated Alternating Curl:
LT: 45s x 15 RP
TT: 45s x 16 RP
*Barely got number 16... this set was doomed from the start when I only got 8 reps on part 1 of the RP

Dumbell Pinwheel Curls (4-6 second negatives):
LT: 35s x 12 straight
TT: 40s x 10 straight

**Paramount Calf Machine (5 second negative, 15 second stretch each rep):
TT: 80lbs x 13
*Was scheduled to be hack squat calves, but this gym has no hack machine...

**Cybex Squat Press:
TT: 720+sled x 10; 540+sled x 23
*Was scheduled to be hack squats - but like I said, no hack machine.

Stiff Leg Deadlift:
LT: 100x6, 120x6, 140x6, 160x6, 180x6, 200x6
TT: 105x6, 125x6, 145x6, 165x6, 185x6, 205x6
*These were hard because my back is still toast from deads on Saturday... keeping it locked flat was a challange.

NOTES:
I was pissed when I walked into the gym and saw there was no hack machine - I thought I had seen one before when I was there doing cardio. I was more annoyed that my workout partner schedule his doctor appointment during our workout time when he could easily have made it for tomorrow... guess the gynocologist couldn't wait. Oh well... the bicep curls were insanely hard today - I think last time I may have accidentally started out doing the set as supination curls instead of having my palms locked into the supinated position the whole time - the twisting obviously makes it much easier.
Was kind of annoying that a lot of the "regulars" there were giving me dirty looks the whole time I was there working out - not sure what their deal was... but every time I glanced up between sets or exercises I had at least one person glaring at me. Maybe I smell bad today or something.
On that note... shower time.
 
Oh yeah... the hack squat video didnt' happen yesterday - mostly because I didn't do hack squats as planned ;)

LT: 135 each side x 11 RP
TT: 135 each side x 13 RP

*It seems like I should be able to do so much more on these...

NOTES:
Good workout. I'm a little frustrated with my chest this blast though... Usually my chest progresses fairly quickly and my triceps go slow... this time around my chest is barely squeaking by and my triceps are kicking ass. Strange.
 
Workout 6

TT: 95 x 15 RP

Reverse 1 Arm Cable Curl (4-6 second negative):

TT: 780+sled x 11; 600+sled x 23
*Was supposed to only go up 20lbs, but I was feeling strong. On the widowmaker I added the plates up wrong... meant to be doing 620.

NOTES:
Good workout - pretty happy with just about all of it... wish I had added right on my widowmaker set though!! Hard to do math when you've just finished your heavy set...
 
Yup... like IG said - thats your 20 rep set... Ideally what you do is you do your heavy set of 8-10, drop the weight by 20% then hit that weight for 20 reps - if you can.

Thanks IG :D
 
Cardio - 45 minutes at 3.9 mph, incline 1.5 on treadmill

Abs - seated cable crunches: 160 x 26RP, 120 x 20
 
Workout 1
(LT=Last Time TT=This Time RP=Rest Paused)

Incline Smith Bench:
LT: 235 x 8 RP
TT: 235 x 7 RP
*I screwed up here... I should have lowered the weight. Either way I still blew it on these.

Smith Shoulder Press to Front:
LT: 160 x 13 RP
TT: 165 x 12 RP

Floor EZ Curl Tricep:
LT: 70+bar x 18 RP
TT: 75+bar x 15 RP

Rack Chins to the Front:
LT: +35lbs x 20 RP
TT: +45lbs x 15 RP

T-Bar Rows (barbell and V handle):
LT: 150lbs x 10 (6 25s)
TT: 175lbs x 6 (7 25s)
*I thought I could hit 10 again... but on rep 1 there was a LOUD crunching/grinding noise in my right shoulder so it kind of shook me up and I had a hard time keeping the set going after that.

NOTES:
On a side note on Friday while I was at work I had an issue start with my left shoulder - while pushing up from a table the left AC joint really started hurting again - was mostly OK through the workout today, a little achy right now though after the workout. I'm not sure what happened with the right shoulder this morning - felt like it slightly subluxed as I stood up into position with the weight, then as I pulled the weight up it slipped back into place maybe... I don't know really. So far no pain in the right shoulder...
 
Oh, I hope the shoulder will be ok. I have that subluxation thing on the go with one of mine too. Not nice.
 
Thanks IG. I'm not 100% sure that is what happened... but whatever it was it was loud... still feels OK... so I'm just gonna pretend it didn't happen ;)
 
Doesn't feel so OK anymore... Ironically enough it started hurting me while I was working on someone's shoulder at work today! Real funny.
I'm just concerned because if it did slip out of the joint to the front as I was doing my first rep on the rows it would have made my humerus grind right against the labrum... and thats not a good thing... and when I tore my labrum on the left shoulder it made a very similar sound...
 
Cardio - 45 minutes on treadmill at 3.7-3.8mph 2.0 incline

Abs - seated cable crunch 160lbs x 30RP

Shoulder is popping and clicking with just about every movement today. Hard to tell if the soreness is from the muscular soreness of the workout, or from something else. When I get into work today I'm going to have one of my co-workers do some tests on it and see what I did. I'm a little concerned by all of the clicking - because that is consistant with a labrum injury - which I REALLY don't want right now... especially on my right side! Hopefully it is just something that will go away - because I don't have enough vacation time saved up to have surgery... and I can't drive my car if my right arm is in a sling!
I'm going to guess that the Friday workout isn't going to happen if things keep feeling like they do right now.
