Church of the Big Ring

The Big Ring isn't just a cog or a vital part of the bike. It's a way of life. A philosophy.
Who I Follow

I started to lose some motivation today. Not much sleep last night and the temptation to take it easy today was great. But I looked at this, dropped and pushed em out to get warm before going to the gym. The only easy day was yesterday.

Cipo. I don’t need to say fucking anything else.

Riding really fucking fast on a Bianchi with the ultimate big ring look. Fuck yes.

Cavendish is a great sprinter and his ring is massive but questionable. But he definitely pulls off the modern big ring look.

Only Danny Ocean and his crew can make sitting in jail look cool.

Beer is an international thing!

ODA 574 outside of Tarin Kowt on November 18th, 2001. Rest in peace JD & Dan…

I have no idea what I’m going to do tonight in the gym. But I know I’m going to be fucking lifting heavy shit.

Flat Dumbbell Press - 4 sets of 7-8 (35’s, 45’s, 55’s)
Felt good warming up.
Flat Barbell Press - 6 sets of psuedo pyramid (135 x 6, 155 x 2, 145 x 3, 135 x 5, 125 x 8)
Wasn’t planning on benching today but one of the guys came by and I had already finished my workout. Went ahead and did it. Felt good.
Decline Dumbbell Press - 4 sets of 8 (35’s, 45’s)
Besides getting off the damn bench with the dumbbells (It’s a pain) went well. Stabilizing definitely takes some effort and concentration.
Incline Dumbbell Press - 4 sets of 8 (30’s, 35’s, 45’s)
Good old fashioned suffering
Barbell Preachers - 3 sets of 7-8 (75 lbs)
Wide & Close grip
Tricep Machine - 5 sets (60 lbs, 70 lbs, 80 lbs)
I’m learning to love this machine.
Reverse Grip Wide Lat Pulldown - 4 sets of 15 (110 lbs, 120 lbs)
I literally couldn’t push through the pump on the last set. Felt like my arms were going to burst.
Shoulder Press (5 sets of 8 with 130)
Slow and controlled
Incline Arnold Press - 4 sets of 8 (35’s)
These hurt today plus the random guy who is new there kept adjusting the bench I was using. Between each set he would wander over, either lower or raise it, and go off to do whatever. Eventually I asked him if I could finish my sets so he could have it. He apologized and went over to the other side of the gym. What the fuck?
Situps - 5 sets of 20
I’ve been trying to work on my core lately because it’s been slacking.
Standing Isolation Curls - 5 sets of 8 (25’s, 35’s)
Good way to finish off a pretty easy day.
Overall it was a good day. I’m going to have to train solo most of the week which is going to be interesting. Did squats for 3 hours with the crew yesterday. It’s going to be another month or two until I can run but the inflammation is gone. I know doing legs with a knee strain isn’t smart but I don’t really have a choice. Still a little tender. Maybe one of these days I’ll look like Kai.
