Anthony21's Non-Stop Endeavor for Strength

[Anthony21]

Got some power in Dirty Jersey finally, looking strong Ant, stay strong through the prep phase bro!

Thanks a lot Snake. I'm glad you're doing good up East. Stay safe and stay strong.

Damn, this log is moving fast! I'm off the forums for a day and I miss two pages. Deads looked great. I think I said this the other day, but the structure of 5x5 is doing you a big favor by causing you to limit any aggressive DL attempts. You have it in you but slow and steady will win out. Awesome work.

Thans MKW and this log has turned out great, far beyond what I expected.

What's guys. I just got back from the gym a little bit a ago and it was a night where I set PRS with my squat and bench. I felt strong in both and got footage of my squat and bench. Hopefully it shows well in the videos.

Video observations:

Squats - grow a beard. It will make you a better lifter overall, especially your squats.

Bench - gotta stay tighter. If you watch your arch, you flatten out a little more with each rep. If the bench is slippery, invest in some Stick-em or use some chalk. Also, pulls those feet out to drive the heels down and get some leg drive. Forearms were better than the last video, but still need work in terms of being perpendicular to the floor.

Just my .02

Thanks boss. If I put my feet more out I can't get as much arch. Ill definitely work on staying tighter with each rep.

So I take it my squats were ok? LOL

Really strong lifting bro.

Your butt wink is gone!

[Anthony21]

It's definitely improved. It's something I'm constantly working ok among other sh!t lol

[Filmbuff81]

Squats looked easy.

I would try to improve your walkout though.

Too many steps and then some shuffling.

Try to limit how far out you walk out to 3 steps max.

If you have to take more than that or shuffle too much, you're wasting energy big time.

[MakeGoBoom]

numbers looked solid ant, i still only have occasional video so i cant watch. as far as film was saying with a walk out i would suggest about the size of 1 1/2 of your shoes. there's no need for any farther then that if you are still in fact going high bar.

[ulsak]

absolutely shining form on those squats! ( still a layman on lifting though..)

Need to work on my own legdrive and arching before qualifying to bitch about your bench form..

[ktj4l]

He said grow a beard! I did it and my squat went up a little bit. No Shave November FTW!

Butt wink is pretty much gone I'd say, so keep doing what you did to get rid of it.

Would agree that beards make you cooler.

Would agree that beards make you cooler.

Unfortunately I don't grow a cool looking beard. It's more like a collection of of pubes on my face.

Man, I'm about to do IF. So I read some stuff about from the author of Leangains, Martin Berkhan ( seems to be swedish guy) , his advice is to not sit around and think about food and stuff but get productive during waking hours. So I'm trying to do stuff, research, read and sleep while I'm fasting.

I write screenplays on the side, so I keep that in my head to occupy me.
