From tapping kegs to pressing them. Bmontgomery87's journey to competition.

All that squatting in gear, now he squats high .

well played haha
I also can't oly squat. I think part of it is I've always tried to avoid knee travel. And with the close stance, my knees need to come forward.

Wow some good sessions in here. With a new born as well thats impressive. Keep it up man Hope the baby gets big just like his daddy lol

thanks bro. he's slept pretty well so it hasn't placed too much of a demand on me mentally yet. gonna train as hard as I can

315 is light for me speed work

Regardless thought, the 10 singles back to back kicked my ass

[mmorton]

Nice work dad

Nice work dad

Thanks epic hamstring guy.



On a side note I think I figured out my depth issue with squats today. I've always sat back really hard like a geared squatter would, I let my knees track forward a bit today on front squats and was sinking them with ease. Little tweaks make huge differences.

Nice work dad

same thing his mom told me


HI fellas!!!

315 x 10 is known for giving an ass kicking!! Nice work man.

Thanks bro.
You'll like it. Training seems fun so far.

It was definitely different. I think I could have pulled 10 reps back to back easier. You get so winded when you take a minute to reset. Pretty tiring but it was fun.

You're not allowed to post workouts after 4:30

Wait and get to work to post them so you kill the first hour of work like the rest of us...

I would, but I don't have the video editing software here.
And I just type up my working sets now as I'm doing them. Gives me something to do in between sets other than hear my training partner complaining about his job, girlfriend, ex girlfriend, some jackass on the drive here, etc.

lol get my cp comment?

if you're getting sleep with a newborn I hate u.

all babies are different but my baby boy made it very very very very very tough for us. he still wakes up every few hours now to eat. hungry lil guy!

he let us sleep the first few nights.
last night he was pretty fussy. he'd eat a bit, then stay up for 30 minutes, and want to eat again. I "slept" on the couch.

[Black_Spit]

Good stuff man.

So are you following the template exactly?

That's all we do between sets is complain about how stupid everyone is except us...

ah yes I remember the couch days when I had to work the next day

Be sure to get her a gift when the fatigue sets in and give her some rest time when u can stay up.

[bmontgomery87]

Yeah. I already caught myself looking at mondays heavy squats and thinking "I could go heavier"
But I know he had a plan in mind when he set up these training blocks so I'll follow it as exactly as I can.
I do have to make a few substitutions for lack of equipment, but I try to find a similar movement and keep it close.

That's all we do between sets is complain about how stupid everyone is except us...

#grumpyoldmen

lol. I'm more of a focus person depending on the day.
He hasn't perfected his timing yet. It's like he thinks "Oh, brandon is chalking his hands, I should start a conversation before he makes it to the bar"

ah yes I remember the couch days when I had to work the next day
Be sure to get her a gift when the fatigue sets in and give her some rest time when u can stay up.

I'm trying to do more during the weekends. I got up each time with the baby then, but when I've gotta work at 6 and she gets to sleep she's taken a few more feedings than me.
She's been nice about splitting it up so far, I'm surprised, because she's a very grumpy person.
