Making the switch to powerlifting, Gobuckeyes 2017 log

Thanks for the advice. I'm just kinda fucked right now. I'm already looking for a 2nd job bc we r slow right now and we need extra cash. So this happened at the worst time possible. It figures I pull the most weight I ever have and I'm not enjoying it like I would bc this shit is stressing me out.

i feel this and your car post on so many different levels man...

owned a Saab and dumped around 3k in it at the end of 2015/beginning of 2016. still doesnt run, but thats a whole other story. ended up buying a brand new car at the end of last year. i feel your pain. get rid of the Saab as soon as you can! lol

also on the not being able to enjoy it. i had a similar situation a few weeks back, which you may have read in my log. pulled 650 for a 20# PR, left the gym for a family party and got a phone call my girlfriend was being rushed to the hospital and she was unconscious. found out on the way there it was cardiac arrest. got to enjoy the PR for all of maybe a hour then totally forgot about it.

just dont stress over all of this and keep ya head up. it will all work out in your favor if you put the work in.

Thanks man. Yea I remember reading that. Just sucks, life is full of ups and downs lol. So far they have only replaced the serpitine belt. So I'm praying it's nothing serious. I know I need my brakes n rotors done on it so I know I'll be spending some money.

Fuck this Saab. It could be between $600 and $1500. It's the timing belt but he said this other chain could need replaced but he won't know till he gets in there.
 
I used to have an older Mercedes. Parts and labor were ridiculous and keeping it running ended up costing more than it did. I love the look of them, but no thanks on the expense of parts and labor compared to good ol' GM.
My wife's stupid BMW X5 is in the shop at least 4 times a year. And it needs 2 quarts of oil added every month and half. Then back to for service. I told her not to get that car. It's a V8 with twin turbos. I said you will never use all that power. Shit most in the states won't use all that power. Now if I were in Germany on the Autobahn I would be pushing that bitch to the limit.

Fuck I got a 2009 Honda Accord. Payed in full. I can afford to get a car like my wife. But I'd want the Alpina or a Benz S55 AMG. But for what to have a $600-$700 note or more and then get fucked with no lube on services. I'm through being a fucking slave to bills. Unless they are absolutely necessary. I fucking buy a Prius cash and ride that bitch like I'm the shit.
 
I'm going to call the auto shop today. If they can fix it for less than $1000 than I'll probably do it bc I own the car and don't want a loan. If he can't, I'll have to junk the car and buy one for $1000. I'm letting this whole situation fuck with my head. I need someone to come slap me around for a bit, and tell me to man up lol
 
Mine is 20 years older than that one.
Whoa boy. That's cool. That thing would be falling apart if it were a north east car :( fucking salt everywhere

So you have a big old power plant that can breath easily? I have an 86' Monte with a baby 305. She was hurting until I gave her an open exhaust and a new intake system. Damn emission regulations went crazy in the late 70s and 80s. She is still a chick car with that engine but she car breath now:)
 
Did squats today but it's my deload week so I only worked up to 265. I just worked on hitting depth and going ATG for a couple sets. Damn ATG sucks, it hurts getting that low lol. My energy levels where not there today either. I'm glad it's my deload week, I need it mentally and physically.

Well I'm still making it to my gym for now even without a car. Just gotta take the wife's and be back in time for her to take me to work. I just can't stand using the gym at my place if I can help it. It sucks ass!!! I'll use it tomorrow tho bc I'm just doing cardio.

Did chest today. Only did 195 3x5 bc of deload. I can tell my body is tired and sore. I need this deload so I'm ready to get back to heavy lifting next week!!
 
And my weight is still around 220. I don't think I'm suppose to be a small person lol I like to eat to much, I'm usually so good on my diet till I get home and crave peanut butter of all things. And then on the weekend I want waffles all day long. I have to give props to the people that can keep a diet. Working out is easy, diet is hard.
