Thank you.
Andrew the shoulder is feeling really good lately, it seems like the benching is actually helping it. Hopefully as long as I can keep the form strict on the OHP's and bench it will fully recover soon enough. Congrats to you on 19 years. I would be lost at this point without my wife, she really takes good care of me.Eric

Today was Deadlift day and here it is.
225x8
275x8
315x6
345x6 (added belt and straps on this set)
365x6
365x6
365x6
That was it for today's deadlifts. I think I will try to stay with the lighter weights and higher reps for a few weeks before giving the 435 a go again and see if that helps. I may do some light squatting later, not sure though. Today's foodsEric

I actually thought about trying a set to failure at 350, but after the 345 set of 6 I felt that I wouldn't have gotten more than 8 or so reps. I am going to try staying at a lower weight and keeping the reps to at least 6 per set for the next few weeks and then I am going to own that 435 like a prison bitch!

That was it for today. Not alot of variety but tried to keep the volume up. My Hams, Glutes, Lats, Traps, spinal Erectors are all pretty sore from the deads yesterday, did some stretching before lifting this evening but not sure it helped anything. Forgot to weigh in this morning, but will be sure to do it in the morning. [url=http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/EB68 [today's food [/url]

I'm not surprised --- 365 is a heavy lift for a single, so 3 sets of 6 is beasting it and those DOMS are well deserved!
Great job on those weighted pull-ups! The form looked excellent on the vid --- full range and nice tempo
That was a great session Eric, especially considering that you killed it with all those deads yesterday!"Better to wear out than rust out!"

I'm really impressed at your strength increases. It's in both weight and volume. It's exciting watching you progress so well.
Good job Eric!'
You need to buy yourself I nice big mirror, the bigger the better( a few even). They probably cost a heck of a lot though! That in itself can be very motivating, watching the muscles at work, watching your form...makes it all the more interesting and a great way to check out your progress..

LOL, dynamite man. Kill it. Grats on the anniversary! Only at 10 myself.
Note, on the beta-alanine, it takes a month to work. I took it for a long time using infinite labs CarnoCre. Tasted ok and didn't fuss with my stomach. I think it definitely helps the 10+ rep range, but not so much for less than 10 (<10 is really creatine's domain). I think it works by shuttling waste out of the cell faster or something... (don't diss my science brah!) Keep pushing!B: 285

Thanks Andrew. It's amazing how much 10 pounds can feel like on the pull-ups. And I am still sore today.
Thanks Louise. My wife says I spend too much time looking at myself in the mirror already
Thanks cmoore. I am working hard to be like you someday!
Thanks Dru. I plan to pull that 435 before christmas if it kills me. And that Beta-alanine really messes with me, I have a low tolerance for any type of medicine.Eric

Nice heavy squatting Eric, and all at around 170 now........you're doing really well at maintaining/increasing your strength while cutting
And fresh venison --- do you hunt, hang and butcher your own deer or do you hunt and get someone else to prepare it? I assume you don't just buy it in the supermarket like I do"Better to wear out than rust out!"

Thanks Andrew, Hopefully the strength loss will stay away for a while. I do hunt and process my deer meat myself. I am having a nice ground steak right now.
Thanks cmoore, happy friday to you as well.
Today was supposed to be shoulders and biceps, but I had to work 16 hours today. I am eating dinner as I type this and will try to get that session in tomorrow morning. Today's foodEric

My wifw doesn't care to see the skinning/quartering process, but once the carcass is gone and there are just cuts of meat she is okay with it. She helps me grind it after I cut it all off the bone too.

You must be noticing a big difference in your everyday activities with all this extra weight rep scheme you are doing. Your strength and stamina would be allowing you to do these tasks faster and for longer.
Thanks Louise. My wife says I spend too much time looking at myself in the mirror already
hehe I can't imagine that..
Impressed with the work you are doing..
