The Hunger for Success: The Solution's Offseason

[Reid456]

Speaking of that
Walked into Gym today for first deload session

And one of the guy's who works the gym (one of the employees) was maxing out on bench due to a benching competition we have coming up, and was going for 435 and tore his pec.

I walked in and heard a loud scream, and weights flying, and figured out he tore his pec..

Just unreal.. Layne norton part 2!

Just reading that made me physically hurt. I can't even imagine what that would feel like...

Oh ****! Really??? Damm!

Nah,..I train at Best and Snap since I moved to Fairview. I do like Real tho. Im thinking about the NMA this April here in Erie. i am also considering physique over 35 to. Not as grueling as bodybuilding. May be friendlier due to my back and shoulder issues.

I took a week off, due to a head cold, and it was difficult to get back in the gym.
After a few days It became routine again.
It did feel good to let my body completely rest.

Enjoy the down time!

With how crazy this week has been with work it was a good time to just not go to the gym and relax (almost at 40 hours and its Friday! haha wow). Feel like a fat slob, but hopefully i got some glycogen to push some decent weight tomorrow!

Nice squats, well done on your PR. Nice tempo with them too

Good eats

Looks like a week rest did you well

[triplewhammy]

I agree ^^ great workout. I always hate how "foreign" the weights feel after a week off, especially for squats. Kudos on the lift.

[NaturalPursuit]

315x10!!!! FTW!!!! Huge workout bro welcome back!!!

[MITCHAPAL00ZA]

Sick PR today. howd you like cannoli btw? I thought it was pretty good, but not top 5 for me.

[scoveg13]

AFter doing around 1600 squats the last 4 weeks prior to the week off. The Squat bar is my best friend.

Thanks man, good to be back. the break certainly made me feel 100x better mentally and physically. I slept so well the last few days it was unreal.

It sure did, for as much hate and flame i got for running it (on other boards) it paid off.

Nice squats bro,

Do you get a slight butt wink just at parralell or am I seeing things? Just watch out for that dont want you to injure your disc's.

[Frankdaddy]

GReat progression Bob, not too shabby for 4x a week of front squats and some back squats, super high volume as well. WHo knew you could get strong without focusing on getting strong, thats how size is put on Given enough ice cream and pancakes are eaten!!!

[Bonkies]

Interested in your Christmas feeds coming up!
