One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.
My journey from 358lbs started January of 2012.

I moved on to GSLP and now Texas Method. I struggled with my squat form the whole time I done SS which meant I didn't do too well with it. Good program though. Thanks for the sub!
Awesome. Never had fries in a sandwich but I'd give that a try. Next time I come to America I need to get some recommendations off you guys and Man vs Food my way through the holiday.
My go to meal when I'm caught short. It's the KFC boneless banquet but with coleslaw. Never gets boring.

Nice. I think in the State that's called the big box meal...but good nonetheless. That Pittsburgh cheesesteak came about in the 30's when steel workers and dock workers didn't have long to eat lunch so they slapped everything into a sandwich. It's pretty much in any Pittsburghers DNA to eat them any chance they get.
That and an Iron City beer(nasty stuff but cheep) is a very good Pittsburgh meal. You should see our salads as well...meat, fries and melted cheese on a salad.OG

COMMENTS
Had only eaten about 1000 calories up to this point (17.10GMT) so my energy wasn't that great going in the gym but I did sleep a ton last night which made up for it, and once I got going, everything went beautifully.
Fuark yeah on the squats. I wasn't confident all week but while warming up I just thought, 'no, this weight is mine, don't use this calorie deficit as an excuse'. Last rep was a back rounding grinder but who cares. This is ID. This is what this sh*t is about!
Could've probably gone 3x10 on extensions but I don't wanna grind on them.
Managed to get my belt another hole tighter for deads due to less stomach bloat. Saw me through strong!
I wanna do more rowing after reading Paul Carter's blog and InspecktaDeck's log so I figured why not strip one side, throw the bar against the rack and bang out 20 odd reps of T Bar Rows. Felt great.
Awesome day.

Ha, I dunno. I quite like the weak squatter title. Reminds me of the many months I couldn't get much past 2 plates. I was stuck for a long time so it makes the success with squats that much sweeter. I'll try upload the vids this weekend. My form could probably use a look.

What's subluxes mean? Have you ever thought of doing face pulls?
That was pretty much my inner dialogue lol. You train in the morning though which I find horrible.
Wtf man, SQUAT! It's such a rewarding lift when it comes together as you must know so keep at it. My VD is 250 and ID is 300 so maybe your ~275 VD is too high? I dunno. Keep at it though man, it will start moving again. It HAS TO start moving again. Make it happen!Powerlifter 160/100/195/455kg @ 91.55

it like literally falls out and is just laying by my side by a string. hurts like crazy but it will typically pop itself back in after a few mins.
i do face pulls at like. i usually do some focused rear delt work like that that i dont include in my log cuz its rehab work.My log

^ Amen brother
It's volume day tomorrow and after some thinking, and due to last week's extra volume work feeling so awesome, I'm gonna be doing something like this going forward...
Squat = Core lift
Lying Tri Ext. = Replacement of pressing core lifts to strengthen triceps while injured
Power Cleans = Just because
Pendlay Row = Bench assistance
Back Extensions = Deadlift assistance
Lateral Raises = Medial delt BB accessory lift
Face Pulls = Rear delt prehab lift
- The GF kept mentioning that my shoulders are really big until they get near my arms so I said I'd throw some lateral raises in just for her. The things we do to keep the girls happy. Anyway, this setup is pretty light as it's got a good bit of isolation work so I don't see it hampering recovery at all.Powerlifter 160/100/195/455kg @ 91.55

that's a good idea, you really can't do too much on VD. the only thing that messes me up is doing a hamstring assistance. my ass will stay sore all damn week.
oh and be careful on back extensions. I did those on recovery day was they kept my lower back sore for 10 days.trying to get strong again

Yeah, I wouldn't do them on Recovery. Even on Volume I'll keep a couple of reps in the tank. That's probably the one part of my body that could be over trained on TM.
I definitely couldn't do hamstring assistance. I've had major DOMS in my hams the last two weeks from squatting. You squat wide don't you? Where do you feel that?Powerlifter 160/100/195/455kg @ 91.55
