I think so, as my bench has just flat out stalled and now that I am cutting my pressing in general is becoming more difficult (but those squats keep on going... probably because I am so far below what I could squat even as a natty originally). Volume benching will be good for my cut, and bench accessory work should keep the strength there. Once this cutting contest is over I can ease up a little and start working progression back up.

Also 3400 cals last night, a lot of bread and ice cream in there picked up some water weight and am 233 this morning. Might hit a buffet the night before these before pictures. LoL

Felt too sore to really train very hard once I started so did what I felt like then left.

Speed pulls
315x2
365x2x2
315x4x2 stopped lower back throbbing

Push Press
185x3x2
135x8

Farmer's walks, went light but did about 30 minutes of it with short breaks.

Not really cheating as anyone else coming out of a bulk or maintence is holding extra water, I'm 3 weeks into a cut already. Then again not that I really need to make myself look fatter I have back rolls at the bottom of my v-taper. My fat distribution is heavily biased towards my lower back, ass, hips and upper hammies.

**psychodiver9** · 05-23-2012, 04:43 AM

Just messing with you. He'll I've been cutting for months already. Was actually planning something similar. Shhhhhb

No allergies and sodium don't do shizz.

Ah, youth.

I do not have words to describe my hatred for you after reading that. :P

I think this is the first workout you've posted where I wonder to myself if I could handle anywhere near that. Jason's finally becoming mortal.

That is awesome. Push press = AWESOME for bench numbers. Love that movement.

Careful on those speed pulls, now. That's a powder keg, as you probably know, if the circumstances aren't perfect.

Yeah I watch my back close on those and scale weight back as needed... and I stop as soon as my back gets pumped.

**phozosado** · 05-23-2012, 08:08 AM

Figured you'd be on top of that.

My lower back function is so bad, I dont' know why I even mention stuff like that.

It is a valid concern as you are doing an explosive and very fast movement with direct stress on the spinal erectors. It shouldn't be done carelessly.

**JasonDB** · 05-24-2012, 02:35 AM

**JasonDB** · 05-24-2012, 02:55 AM

That diet soda did wonders this morning... I look fat as fuk.... I am winning this thing. Going to get my pics uploaded.

**snrygo** · 05-24-2012, 04:14 AM

what was your choice of soda

Diet Dr Pepper. I would say it put 2" on my waistline. I ate extra sodium last night (not overboard I do have MD... about 4,000mg) and today I weighed less and was tighter so that didn't work... it made me look leaner. However the diet soda really did the trick.... not that I really needed it... I have plenty of fat around my lower back and hips.

My befores are in the transformation thread now.

Also worth noting that I better avoid it the final week of the contest.

Ddp FTW! Love that stuff but as of late, it has become hard to find :/

Same here... when I can't get it I just get the Tesco Value Sugar Free Cola. It is cheap and decent.

**JasonDB** · 05-24-2012, 11:06 PM

BW: 232.5 so now I start to gain some of the water I needed yesterday. Thus is life.

Day off from training, wife's birthday. Going to relax maybe do some things out with her today (her choice of what to do).

Tomorrow will be full contest mode.

Goals for the coming training week: Hit 230 lbs bw, try to get 405 for reps on the box squat. Regain my lost reps with 495 on the deadlift or even improve them. See if I can improve my push-press numbers.

Started a new log with a fresh mentality for the contest. This one is long and cluttered.
