Strong squat work, very nice 330 set and awesome DL singles @ 485 right after.
Bench is looking good as well, swell reppage with 255!
How are you liking the new gig? Packing heat to work like a boss!
Any estimate of how many cals your killing daily?

Thanks woody, im trying to keep my squats moving up each week. 5-10lb and still hit top set of 5 is pretty sweet. Getting better each week.
Bench was good the other day, the back off sets is really where im feeling progress. 225 is now beginning to feel light, which is nice feeling. Last back off set i hit 5 but had couple more in me.
I love my job, bit of action here and there mate but always safety first! We want to get home at end of each shift so we have to minimize use of force at all times.
We walk like, 8km a shift or more but slow pace so maybe 550? OR SO/ eating a bout 4.5 k daily, 220g protein, upped it recently
Thanks dude, they are coming along well again. Just gonna keep improving little by little each workout!
Thanks mate, they are getting back to decent levels. Should be real solid by xmas at this rate, then launch into the new year with some big Fuking numbers~~~~~~~~~~

Another 4 night shifts, made it tough to get to the gym, still smashed out some good work on the monday to keep all the strength on the rise! Smashed some nice squats, doubles at 315x2 for 3 sets and some GHRs too. Same workout, i hit 225x3 (x5) on bench, wasnt too bad at all, loaded 155x3 for OHP sets. Resting now for 3 days off, and tomorrow is bench! Feeling strong and looking forward to smashing a big workout

--Really good session, bought some C4 pre workout, havent had any pre workout for a while now like 1 year or close to it. The effects were quite amazing, no real hit when i took it, but then after i blasted some presets in the background and loud volume i just started bouncing around heaps and couldnt keep still, i hit the warm ups real easily felt so light, but i played it smart and no grinding any reps tonight. Bench was still improving and hit 255x4 had 5 but will save it for next week, then move up in weight again. Going well, back off sets moved up in weight again and hit dips, the effects of the pre workout were obvious during dips, i just couldnt get enough of it, 0 mental fatigue and blasted out set after set of dips with no self control srs. Triceps were so pumped it was amazing. Will program dips after SOHP next time, as dips stuffed up all triceps and could barely press anything lol. Squats tomorrow!

That's some sick reppage with 255 on the bench! Smart leaving one in the tank, all the more for next time!
Hammered that dip volume, very nice! No wonder OHP was tough after all that
Big squat and dead triples, 345 and 460 FTW! That's taxing hitting those back to back
Love te SLDL finisher, awesome accessoryPRs: Back Squat- 410x1 / Front Squat- 320x1/ Bench- 325x1 / Deadlift- 505x1

Thanks man, was tough getting them both in but gotto keep it coming!
Im liking the SLDL heaps again, it helped me a lot during my hudson run in '12 i think it was and so trying to keep these up bit more, then 315x5 was tough, so it shows hammys are bit behind at the moment.
Thanks colin, getting stronger each week and appreciate the support same as woody~~~~~~~~~~

--Planned to make it a heavy one tonight, got 3 big shifts for work coming up this week so wanted to make this productive, since next workout will be just moderate work on squats and bench at 80% which is just to keep me fresh, then on weekend coming up are my two off days from work so i will smash some real heavy shi,t again then. Squats are going well still, loading nice work into the body with these and getting stronger each week. Had at least 1 more in me at 350 tonight which was a good sign for sure. Loaded heavy deads with chain and bands and looking back on this now i believe that this is a tied pr for me at this lift which was nice. The extra hamstring work i did the other night was real evident in tonight session. I felt lot stronger off the floor which was nice.

--Very hard, tough lockout and had to move around to get it locked, so much resistance at top! Im coming back to top form fast! Good power off ground still though. Last time i hit this i hit 475x5 for my deadlift 5RM pr and i recon fresh i could hit 475x6 now but well see how i feel next weekend

Nice squats and deads man. Pretty good grinder there on that deadlift.
I gotta say try not and do that bouncing with the knees on squats. Try and just calm yourself down. Relax and get you PC tight then squat. Break at hips first. I dunno it just seems like you would benefit so much from stopping that. Makes chance of injury higher too. My knees would be killing me if I did that. Just trying to help brah. Once again nice work.Journal: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=139898123&page=240
