The weights never lie. My natural high. Do this sh*t till I f*cking die.

I love it when "mr stubborn" listens to reason... You do it every time (and the reason you are doing TM). So I wouldn't exactly call you "mr stubborn"

Thanks. I think?

Why aren't you on skype *******?

Took no Advil all day. Didn't feel the injury flair up much at all. Maybe ever so slightly after everything was done, but really it was nothing. Feels fine now. 340 was HARD. Got so amped up after I hit it, felt on top of the world, almost got a little teary eyed. I needed that so bad after struggling with this ****ing depressing/frustrating injury for so long.

Awesome job on the front bro, heavy weight.

lol 405 front squat? What are you smoking dude...


Maybe 275, I never do em. Last time I did a few weeks back, did 225x2x3 after back squats.

LMAO srs?

Your back squat is close to 455 no? Do Ab Wheel, beltless fronts for volume and heavy belted fronts. It should shoot up to 365 pretty fast I bet.

My back squat is like 405 right now. Maybe I just have a nice front to back ratio and that isn't common.

[chazzy1864]

YOu had me look at your journal for that pussy looking PR?

I mean, what was that? Below parallel? Only 340? Pffft. Get the f*ck outta here with that weak sh*t!

[righter]

Glad to see you back and big congrats on the PR!

The vid would not play for me, though.

Sometimes they just won't. I'll be back later to see if it will play ...

I can relate to your frustration. Had to take yesterday off cause my back was acting up a little. I've learned not to fight it. It always win. Just rest the SOB and do something fun to take your mind off of it. Develop new interests so you have something to fall back on. That's what saves my sanity at times. If my back is being shtty, I go take pictures. It is kind of therapeutic. Hope you are enjoying the weekend and still basking in the glory of the PR!!!

[mm55]

awesome PR on the front bro! Serious weight. I'm gonna have to catch that now

Damn impressive stuff my boy.

Whoa, beastly front PR man. Not bad for an "injury" workout. lol

I don't work abs brah...

You do have a good ratio, I just never train it. After my meet, I'm not gonna do one for a while so I'll have time to switch up my training and mess with stuff.

Thanks Jenn. Weird. No one else said anything. Should work. I have been changing things up the past couple weeks cuz of the injury. You too, feels good to hit a PR when other things aren't going my way, keeps me sane.

Thanks man. What you think your max is?

Why don't you do the ab wheel? That chit will carryover to your squat/dead. For sure, I wanna hear what your plans are after the meet.

[Woody-5]

Sick fukking front squat big guy! I'm mirin hard. And I'm just Straight up hard
405 front by years end?

[dopamine72]

lol thanks bro. I think 365 is possible in 3-4 months. So yeah, 405 might be a possibility but I'm not gonna be stressing over it cuz I tend to injure myself when I try and go for **** like that. As long as I stay injury free 405 could happen by the end of the year, or early 2013.

[Nom Z]

Bc ab wheel is hard brah...I literally do zero ab training and haven't for months now.

Probably do modified 5/3/1 or have my SC buddy write me something.

[Ironlife]

Beast front squats, that looked mighty heavy unracking , but the rep itself looked controlled and quite smooth too. Hows the tendonitis going mate>

[400Lb Gorilla]

340.... well there goes any thought of catching up to you on those great work brah you made it look easy as fuk!!!

[DominationStation]

Forgot to re-sub to this one after your Promera one ended. Back in.

Front squat 405 and I'll be impressed .

[George Costanza]

My endurance is pathetic, that 225x12 took a lot out of me. By the 9th rep the bar was falling down too and my wrists were getting raped. Not a bad sesh tho. Injury still there, I can feel it, so I'm not gonna do any upper body work still for a bit. PT on thurs. And nothing today aggravated my injury if any of you are wondering. So that's good I guess.

[wicked1992]

that 340 flew up!! id also like to see a video of your shrugs because those are impressive. my injury is almost better. I may actually start lifting again next week but light. but still squatting and deadlifting again . I guess I'll break high rep PRs and gain some mass and definition that way. can you still squat and deadlift well with your injury? I'd say rest it for a while so it won't be a problem in the long run. It really killed me that I could't squat or deadlift heavy for 4 months, but I had to rest so I can get my lifts and legs in good shape later or I'd be ****** for life just mirin other lifts but not able to do them myself. But yeah, hope you're injury solves itself
