It is finally progressing well again. Working on my from helped/10.
Dem squats.
Without a belt, I wouldn't have hit anything lately. Back is stupid as hell right now.
And... BRB applying for a job that is solely based around lifting.
Brb Rackatteer can probably do 275x7 by now lol.

Thats good man. if you stall again try incorporating more CGBP. I think that would help so many people that stall. But keep it up!
Be careful with the back man. That would suck to be out for a while. and that would be such a sick job!!! would work for less than minimum wage/10
lol you are pretty close to closing in on 275x1 yourself though. I think 225x6 would do the trickYou want to beat me, don't miss a meal, because I won't. Don't quit on a set because I'll always be one set ahead of you. Don't walk out of my gym without leaving your guts spilled on the floor because you can bet your ass, I won't.
Hardcore brother. COME ON!!!

Getting payed more than minimum.
This is my second job.
40-72 hours a week. MAD shifting.
<33
Even though I'm complaining about my back it isn't a big deal. My groin would give out before my back lol
Food > everything else to break a stall :P
I planned on trying 275 once I hit 240x4 or 240x5. I'm really close to 275, thats all I know lol.

sorry I haven't posted up a workout in a bit so i'll just give some of the important lifts from the last week or so.
hit 405 for 3 singles without a belt (3 different workouts)
Pcleaned 225 for a few triples and 245 for 1
push pressed 185x8 and strict 135x9
did 3x3 deficits at 365 after one of the squat workouts.
I've been easing off on the lifting right now. finals are starting and I have radiating pain throughout my left arm. IDk if I pinched a nerve or something."on the bech press i usually start off with 205 doing it 5 times then once i ad my usual extra 5 pounds on i can barely do it twice. How can i increase my chest cardio? so i can rep heavy weight easier" -dc1992hp
come by and check out my log. I'm racing to a 275x5 bench and 185x3 strict press with comps.

Describe the pain?
20lb improvement on power cleans is great.
I will get used to it, but it will definitely affect me.
Will not be picking weight off the floor in the gym for at least a month.
Ie: no deadlifts/ rows with a barbell/ etc.
Might do some dumbbell shrugs, but even lifting those is not tempting.

it's definitely nerve. I though it was heart pain at first which worried me but stretching of the tricep in certain ways has the pain going from my finger tips all the way to the shoulder girdle and mid back and chest sometimes. I'm pretty certain it's a pinched nerve. i think i'm just going to stop most of the lifting for a month and lean out a bit while I try to bring my top end speed back.

hey comps when you do cable rows, how far do you stretch forward? Is it necessary to lean forward, or just torso upright and extend arms fully. Also, how does your back feel with and without the belt? I'm just curious if using one would help me get by

I try not to use much momentum, but I always have leaned forward maybe 4" before reps. Currently, I will be doing them with very strict form.
The belt dulls the pain severely and I feel that it makes it easier to control the weight. I intended not to use a belt for a longer time, but there was no way to squat w/o it currently. I'm probably going to squat with a belt from now on. In your case with your disks, it would probably make it a little easier on you, but probably not enough so that you can squat with it without pain.

Are you OHPs stalling? Some things to consider:
1. First and foremost, stalling or not, take a look at your form.
2.Are any parts of your delts lagging? Maybe some behind the neck pressing?
3. Have you tried micro-loading? (sticking on an extra collar per side, maybe?)
4. Guaranteed if you get your push press up, whenever you switch back to strict, it'll follow suit.Highlights: http://www.youtube.com/user/bkbrawla666/videos

Rear/side delts lagging. Hitting them 2-3x a week now. They are not incorporated much in OHP though .
Never tried micro-loading. I only OHP once a week so IDK if they're stalling lol.
+ made the interval smaller so the final set is obviously more difficult so I especially don't know if it is stalling lol.
Push press could be an option, never done it though, would you recommend it?
Or Push press, followed by OHP?
Or stick with OHP and see how it goes?
Anyways, I'm also not eating enough :S.

Definitely only one. I would recommend the push press, get you used to handling heavier poundage + it's simply a different means of progression, like db or bb bench.
Is this your first workout increasing the interval? If it is then stick with it for awhile hahaHighlights: http://www.youtube.com/user/bkbrawla666/videos

Felt like crap going in. No energy before benching.
Hitting PRs 2x a week feels amazing.
I looked at my log, but didn't even check what I'm supposed to be squatting today.
Was supposed to do 290x5, I feel dumb as ****.

Haven't gained weight in awhile. Will start counting again...... ****ing boring though with this amount of calories.

Get 'R' Done, bro. Counting is so necessary..sure it sucks man, but do it. You're either going to eat too little or too much and get too fat, too quickly.
Lifts r goin up though. I'm still on spread, I really gotta use my 5 reps per day lol.Highlights: http://www.youtube.com/user/bkbrawla666/videos

Pissed off at my groin. Decided to try lifting weight off the floor after 1-2 weeks of not doing that + stretching. Doctor's tomorrow if it is open, or day after. I want to deadlift.
Tons of volume, wasn't bad at all though.
