Hey all, my name is Matt. I am 22 years old and will be graduating from The Ohio State University in March. My competition will be in April and that is the Buckeye CLassic here in COlumbus. Also, this a first for me in setting up my own thread. I usually just lurk (as many do) and make a comment here and there. However, I have now decided to do this because of a certain group of people on here that I know have created an unofficial lb for lb lifting competition (you know who you are). And for those of you that I may not know who are also doing this "mini competition", I am sure we will get acquainted lol.
Sooo here I am. I dont know how far I will be taking this log as I am a fairly timid person. And although that may be a poor excuse to some, this is really all new to me (especially taking videos in the gym lol, I feel wierd doing it). So some support here and there probably wouldnt hurt either lol.
Stats:
22 years old
6'-2"
190 lbs
First BB competition is coming up in April
As for that brief introduction, all I have to do is start showing you guys my lifts. I guess that is how these things goe right?? I already went to the gym today for legs. So today's workout will be posted within a few hours hopefully.

Alright alright, I tried to upload my video of todays leg workout but am having issues. I will try again tomorrow though. As for the workout...
Squats

135 x 10
225 x 5
315 x 3
365 x 3
375 x 1
405 x 5 = PR (This one is for you whoever wants to try it out, and I should post the video sometime tomorrow. My card ran out of memory on #5, but you will just have to take my word for it lol)
Hack Squats
+90 x 8
+180 x 8
+270 x 6
GHR
BW x 10
+10 x 6
+15 x 7
-Superset-
Step Ups with medicne ball (about 24 inch platform)

Lastly was a SS of Seated Leg curls and Leg Extensions just to get the blood flowing before leaving the gym.
Great workout, I think I still had a bit left in the tank after the 405 set, but I will save it for net week

LOL, I can only try right? I can't wait to see how you end up with your squats, you have made massive improvements recently.
The thing is I lost my cord to transfer my vids from my camera to the computer, so I am going to try to use my girlfriends computer to do this since I can just put my memory card in her computer. I had some trouble last night as the video kept on failing to upload to youtube fror some reason. I will try again here soon though.
Until then, I wont post todays Pull workout until I get the second video to upload as wellMy name is Matt and I enjoy lifting heavy things...

I agree about the pre diet pictures. Just weighed myself this morning at 192. Hopefully I get somewhere around 195-197, that would be ideal for me. I am sure Thanksgiving will help with that lol.
And the first video is from the ARC on Woody Hayes and Kenny Road, which is the gym where I usually go to unless I do legs.My name is Matt and I enjoy lifting heavy things...

Thanks!
And for the lb for lb contest, its pretty simple. Anyone can join. Those who are in so far include RooRooTJ, The_Animal11, Rich55, worldgymfreak as well as myself. Instead of explaining it to you myself, I will just quote Rich from his journal...
"- Videos are to be posted within your OWN journal. A separate log could get massive fast and this will keep us all focus on our own gains.
- To create a challenge simply pick an exercise someone is doing and go after it. Let's keep this open and fun geared to what's best for each of us.
- If you got a challenge then just post a message pointing back to your own journal
- The pound for pound measure will be used
For example, Stolz and I were battling with Flat DB Presses. I'm posting up a vid after Thursday's battle with 110's and 115's. Stolz can post a video of his craziness stacking DB's if he's still in. Sorry bro, gotta see this! Haha
Sound like fun? Oh, it's official now.
Note: Other challenges mentioned thus far and ready to go are the Barbell Curls 4-6RM, Squats 5RM and Deads 3RM. Looking at Sporto's Rack Chins, Bent-Over Bar Rows (Pendlay style) and Incline Flys here soon as those could be fun to do and good for me."My name is Matt and I enjoy lifting heavy things...

BEASTLY!! 405 looked light. I don't care what you say, you're a freak! My prediction: Novice Overall Champ at the Buckeye Classic.
