Well, I am just getting back from FL so I have a lot to catch up on my log...

But throw in some heavy drinking and I don't exactly remember all of my workouts... Well, thats not really true, I did do some drinking, but even without it, if I dont do the log that same day, then the numbers, etc just kind of disappear from my head.

I did manage to get a full week of lifting in with the exception of legs. I did not want to train them really hard and then have to walk around the convention center all day, and I am not the type to try and train them just a little, I either do it or not, so I did not.

The only real highlight in my lifting this week was that I did full deadlifts for the first time in years. I have been planning to do them, probably would have waited until I got home but then realized that I neglected to bring my straps to FL with me and since I couldnt go heavy, I went with the full range of motion.

I worked up to 275x5 and did that for a couple of sets. I could have gone to 315, which is where my grip starts to go very quickly, but I decided to stay where i was and see how it felt after doing those. Surprisingly, I was fine and never had any pain from doing these. So it appears that IS is making a bit of a comeback here.

Other than that I did not really make any progress this week, but did maintain the status quo. I did pretty much the same workout as last week, which of course no one could refer back to if they wanted, since the board is gone

I will relate one funny story from the trip. First the background: I was nervous to travel with too much gear so I made a nice tren and test blend to coast on while I was gone (40mg Test/80mg Tren) But not wanting to rely totally on that I also shot up 600mg of Test/150mg Tren prior to leaving. I only say that because I am not one prone to angry outburst, but I guess that booster dose pushed me a bit closer. So, I was in line at airport security and the line went up to a point and split in to 2 lines right before you put your stuff through the x-ray machines. And a couple of dudes come walking by everyone and go get in the further x-ray line where no one is yet - remember usually the person at the front of the line was going to the next open station, but apparently these guys decided it was 2 separate lines and they were going to wait in the one with no line. So I am fuming but biting my tongue here - obviously its not 2 lines, why else is everyone over here and no one in the other "line" - and lo and behold here comes another guy trying to walk by to get in the "short line." I have had enough so I yell out: "Hey what are you gonna do, cut in line?" But he is just ignoring me. So I say it again, with no response. I decide that this dude was definitely not going to get in front of me. So I cut him off and ask loudly enough for the whole queue to hear "What makes you think you can cut ahead of all these people waiting their turn?" I am now blocking his way so he finally has to respond, but the dude trys to get past me! So I ask him "You must think you are better that all of these people here, is that right?" The guy is getting a bit uncomfortable now and looks back at the line so I keep on with it and pointing to the second guy in line I ask the man, "You think you are better than this guy right here?" The cutter is mumbling "no...I don't, I just..." So I asked him, you must be special then, are you royalty?" When he said no, I told him that all of the rest of us in line would appreciate it if he would go take his place up at the back of the line. And at that point he did, about as quickly as he could. I was feeling pretty proud of myself, until I turned around to find that the 2 TSA guys who were now standing on either side of me were not as please with me as I was. It also turned out that while I was busy yelling at the guy, the line had moved on but that because of me, no one was wanting to go past us, so I was holding up the whole show. The TSA guys had me follow them, and I was sweating it, because as mentioned before, I had also brought my little test blend with me. But then they just brought me to x-ray machine and metal detector and had me run my stuff through and go on to the gate. So no problems for me.

I made sure to keep it a bit more low key the rest of the trip.
