Lol I'm actually doing a mild cut too. I say mild because I'm barely interested just cut back on fattening liquids and less sweets.

Not sure about the 100lb pulls. Trying to keep form decent so I can be satisfied with results. Also thinking I'll start deadlifting and squatting very light to try help with my mobility. Might be returning to NZ permanently soon also which im hoping is easier for lifting weights!

sick workout. you are getting strong on that back work.

enough excuses on not going 100+ plus on the pullups. I'm around 100x5 and i'm sure you can do the same (I think 100x7 is my all time PR)

gawd damn bench is looking strong too. loving all the progress in here. you are one strong mofo, a reason why this journal is so motivating

and 'grats on the possible move back to NZ. records are probably waiting for you to break them there, haha

[nzmusclez]

Pull ups 65 - 11

So how close are you to PB status? At 187 when you factor in height - pressing looks stupid strong

[nzmusclez]

Bench 315 - 5 easy
Decline 330 - 5 easy
Incline 240 - 9 easy
Dips 160 - 12
rc work

Realy pleased with workouts these days. Also sitting about 12% bf so fairly lean and very strong. If i wasnt so white id get a pic up

Wow. That is fkn impressive. Screw being too white if you rep that chit easily. Physique has to be sub 12% right now.

Yeh I know! I ask a random to spot me every day and each one is really impressed. Expecting a 1 rep then I do 4-5. Get a couple questions afterwards too lol. Well in NZ I got 325 for 4 but I was probs about 14-15% BF then so I must be close. And Id expect NZ to be easier with a different bench so probably very close!

Haha, I did make a video of my 160lb dips awhile back but never put it up since I thought it was average. Did 12 today but here's the 9 reps video

[nwskier]

Lol "average" at 160x9. Just lol.

How's the back? I'd imagine you made some great physique progress with lats. It's cool to see the progress you've made on lat strength the past few months. Def motivating me to push my reps

[nzmusclez]

Bench 315 - 5 but got 6 with a bum lift. Maybe next time
Decline 335 - 5 maybe. Not sure if spotter got it. Was very close if he did.
Incline 240 - 9 maybe 10... again spotter
Dips 180 - 7

[nzmusclez]

Pull ups 90 - 7
Pull ups 70 - 8
squats 225 - 10 not too bad 2day will have a play
squats 275 - 2 hamstring screamed at me. This is all due 2 major inflexibility im sure of it
Lat pull down 260 - 10
Foam roller

Well the GF keeps saying my backs huge so maybe its gotten bigger? Definitely getting stronger. 90x7 today. Once I hit 90x8 i'll be 5lb short of 100 and my move to 100 will be starting off with 6 reps. So at this rate. Ill be 100 x 6 in ~2 weeks

[nwskier]

Super impressed with back strength progress. Dammit were close to even now lol.

Guessing your Double back bicep progress is pretty sick right now

[nzmusclez]

Bench 315 - 5 with a useless spotter. Guestimate of actual reps.
Decline 335 - 5
Incline 245 - 8
Dips 180 - 8 i usually have 2 have a second or 2 break between last 2 reps.
rc work

Feeling doms already after such beasty dips

[nwskier]

Hitting those #s while maintaining 187bw is pretty damn sick, especially with your height/wingspan. Fuk yeah!

[nzmusclez]

Loght day. Right pec is sore and left pec has some doms still.

245 - 5 pec doesnt feel good. Thats all im gonna risk.

Rc work

Ahhhhrg !! Sick back workout. Really impressed. Basically now even on these. Loving the motivation to hit a huge back day tomorrow! Get a vid of those up!

[nzmusclez]

Been slack with my training recently. Due to this pec problem and also missing back days, results show.

Pull ups 90 - 6
Pull ups 70 - 9
Lat Pull down 270 - 6
T Bar row 135 - 10
DB Biceps 45 - 10
Foam Roller.

Also had a chest day in Calgary, or what was to be a chest day and the pec flared up mid set of 320. I got to 4 and asked spotter to lift the 5th. I know I would have got 5 no problem without the pec issue. Hopefully this doesn't linger. Foam rolled it a bit but its quite awkward to get at so resting is my main recovery plan.
