lol thanks and hell yeah it will be pulled! i don't even care if i hitch that sh*t is coming off the ground.

Sick progress bro, keep up the good work brutha

thanks alot and thanks for stopping by! i'll check out your log in a minute.


felt like crap all day today. sleep was meh the past two nights so i'm tired and i had a headache almost all day at school today (rarely get them). it's gone now so i'm fired up to lift, let's break some PRs! then sleep well tonight..lol



on another note been noticing lately i've been getting more protein than i need (210+ grams on school days because of my RTDs having alot of protein as well as my other meals, i can control it more when i'm not at school) so i'm going to lower that and keep it about 140 minimum to 200 max.

what i'll do is continue to mix oats in milk but PWO cereal will be mixed with water and add more cereal to make up the cals and stuff like that.

DEADLIFTING IN A FEW MINUTES. peace out bros!

Haha loving the diet man. Question though. Isn't BTN shoulder press kinda dangerous? Idk sounds dangerous to me.

[nmsk80066]

thanks buddy

BTN shoulder press isn't dangerous if you lower the weight correctly and have healthy shoulders. i think it feels great actually. the i bring my head forward so it comes down straight rather than me lowering the bar back and down to protect the rotator cuffs and overall shoulder region.

[amnotjokin]

wow solid workout alot of pr's

[Galindo62]

your starting position is off bro.


Your sitting to low. Causing your scapulas to go behind the bar. Remember they should be over the bar..




Am jealous of ghr by the way lol.

[baco_bacon]

Very very nice How do you like doing multiple sets of 1 rep? (incline)

k, i'll work on that. keep scapulas over bar!

lol, wasn't that good of a GHR but i'll take the sloppiness

Very very nice How do you like doing multiple sets of 1 rep? (incline)

well since i really like power training i'm finding singles, doubles, stuff like that to be very good at adding strength quicker than typical rep ranges. might just be a psycological thing though

thanks by the way man

[baco_bacon]

Yah, I've noticed you do that quite a bit. I think I may try it out next time!

[PRMachine]

Good work up in here sir! Making me anxcious to get back in the game.

[nmsk80066]

Yah, I've noticed you do that quite a bit. I think I may try it out next time!

sounds good. i love strength training more than "training for size" because i figure if i get stronger i'll get bigger anyway lol. and it's a fun challenge handling the heaviest weight possible

Good work up in here sir! Making me anxcious to get back in the game.

thanks man, can't wait to see a workout from you monday i wish my deload wouldn't come, but my body needs it in two weeks

[nmsk80066]

this morning i woke up and forgot i had to weigh in today so i didn't take a #2 and i drank a whole bottle of water but i weighed myself afterwards and something interesting happened

last week - 130.7

today - 130.7


+ 0.0 pounds in seven days (highly inaccurate though)

will just stick with these cals yet again and see how it is next week. i guess i have been a little more active because i've been including some running with my PWO cardio but only about 3 total minutes so it shouldn't make that big of a difference. oh well, i've been getting stronger.
