Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing

It was a truism that all civilizations were basically neurotic until they made contact with everybody else and found their place within the ever-changing meta-civilisation of other beings, because, until then, during the stage when they honestly believed they might be entirely alone in existence, all solo societies were possessed of both an inflated sense of their own importance and a kind of existential terror at the sheer scale and apparent emptiness of the universe.

Skwatz and Deadlift Singles Routine Week 2

23 October 2014

Squat 135x6, 225x3, 275x3, 315x3, 375x3, 415x3, 445x1 (belt and wraps), 465x3, 515x2

Belt and wraps on both last sets. Almost didn't go to the gym because of acid reflux (which I've had like once before), the first few sets of squats were pretty tough but by the time I hit 445 it magically went away. So squats = cure for acid reflux.

I'll bump the weight up to 520 next week and try a double, then maybe go for a conservative max at 540-545 the week after that (if 520 goes well). Then drop the weight down as the deadlift weights go up.

Deadlift 350 lbs. x 15 singles, 60 seconds rest

Significantly easier than last week's 325x15@30s.

Close-stance leg press 4s x 10

Incline board situps 3s x 8-12
