March 13, 201313 yr I was reading some threads on a crossfit message board and saw there were a few celebrities that are competing in the Open. Marion Jones - former olympic athlete Bob Harper - trainer from The Biggest Loser Max Greenfield - on the show New Girl (never seen it) Emmanuel Arceneaux - Jets WR Several other ex or current football players.
March 13, 201313 yr Back and Overhead work are essential to a big bench. Lots of people press and press and blast their Triceps all week, but they forget about the back and OH work. That is crucial.
March 13, 201313 yr I do not do back as much as I should, but I kill triceps. A Hardcore Look At Wendler's 5/3/1 Powerlifting Routine | Muscle & Strength I love how simply Wendler looks at everything, including lifting.

March 14, 201313 yr I'm in that awkward stage right now where my tendons and joints have been sensitive from working out so much over the past few months. So with that in mind I've just been trying to really change it up doing lifts that I've never really done or movements I don't usually try and then varying the weight quite a bit. When I did the arms today I did bicep curl movements with with dumb bells as lite as 25 and as heavy as 55. Just trying to keep my body guessing and avoid straining it too much. Still letting my legs rest for the remainder of the week before I get back in to it with them next week.

March 15, 201313 yr Weighed in today at 221lbs I am down around 11 lbs since Jan 3rd. Lots of cardio and weight training. Also, I eat very good 5-6 days a week and have one cheat day. I have to say, hitting the heavy Bag everyday is really helping my endurance. Its just sad that my buddy had to bring his 50lb bag to Urban Active in Bellevue so we could have a bag to hit there. LOL Its on the 2nd floor, back in the Northwest corner with the Cardio machines.
March 15, 201313 yr ^Keep it up, Q! Swim suit season is right around the corner. :lol2: Yea my son is extra motivation. He is a workout freak and has me ordering all kinds of different proteins. He has packed on 8 lbs of lean muscle since hoops ended last month. He doesn't eat any junk food, watches sodium intake and has his body fat down below 8%. All he keeps saying is Punta Cana is 2 weeks away. Sr Spring Break Trip. I can't stress enough though how much diet plays into shredding your body. Sodium is so bad and sugars as well. Took me a month to get used to eating right.
March 15, 201313 yr Has anyone heard of a girl named Holly Mangold? She is NFL player, Nick Mangold's younger sister and weighs 320lbs. She can deadlift 675lbs, Squat 475lbs as well as bench over 325lbs. I think she is either a Sr in HS or in college currently. Tracy Jones was interviewing her dad on 700wlw yesterday. Apparently she is going to be participating in the Olympics. That is crazy strength.

I believe she competed in the last Olympics. 2nd ranked American Heavyweight lifter. She trains at the OTC in Colorado Springs.
