great work on the Squats, buddy

[GinjaNinja85]

Aware us on the 412.5 squat. PR?

Brilliant lift bud.

[xRequiem]

i'd cry if my VD and ID squats were so close lol

im going for 390x3 this ID which shouldn't be a problem considering doing 385x5 before. if you squat 405x3 before my ID I might have to try and one up you.

[pyaarawala]

Too much ****in WIN in this thread man. 285x2 paused bench and 412.5 squat. AND good with women too???!! I wish I was you

[Sinaku5]

Killer bench PR bro, getting so close to 3 plates paused Solid squats too, I used to think anything over 3 plates was heavy. Then I put 4 plates on my back lol.

Thanks Josh! Soon you'll say the same about 4 and 5 plates lol...

God damn your strong ass bench. I hate you.

Lol...you act like you're weak.

great work on the Squats, buddy

Thanks Andalite!

Yeah I need to reduce my VD squat weight; way too much for me to recover from on this cut. Thanks Requiem.

Lol Thanks P.

I love your squats vids Musid ... you always look so controlled on the descent and keep your strength throughout the lift with more of a pause at the bottom than a rebound. I think what Ginja is talking about with your squats at the start looks to me like you're engaging your glutes. It's a good cue and I might try it because I know that I fail to engage my glutes until I'm in the hole

Paused CGBPs looked great


Awesome PR! Really strong on the benching and so close to a 3pps paused bench


Great squat Musid! Is that a PR? What do you use as a build up to a single rep like that?

Thanks on all of it Andrew. And yeah the 412.5 was a PR on squats. I think my last warm up was 390x1 for that.

[Sinaku5]

Upper Volume

Bench
260x5
260x5

Notes: Doing OHP today because yesterday when I wanted to OHP quarter squatters were hogging the rack. Also spent all day Sunday puking up my guts from food poisining. Suprised I got the bench.

[Andalite]

You take minimalist exercise selection to a whole new level lol

Good job on the 260 x 5 x 5 bench

This lol. Same with your bench. My VD/ID was bigger and I was starting to have trouble recovering even before I started cutting.

[pyaarawala]

Damn, every time I hear the word food poisoning I remember the hell. Second closest near-death experience I've ever had. Feel better man

[SmallLats]

Food poisoning is the worst bra. Glad u still getting them workouts in though!

As a quick recap. These VDs consisted of...

262.5x5
262.5x5
262.5x4...couldnt get last rep...will re do next week.

Notes: Less than optimal week the week following food poisoning. Nothing surprising there.

[Opeth09]

Awesome bench today man! Haven't been in here in a while! Good work

[fittofattofit]

Strong bench with the 295 single and great volume sesh. Excellent strength with those paused squats and OHPs
How's your weight going now Musid?

[pyaarawala]

Niceeee 295x1 bench is ridiculous! Can't wait to see you do 315!

[Sinaku5]

Thanks P! I reckon I got 1 paused bench in me for 295...well see this weekend I think.

[Sinaku5]

Vid of 295 bench.

[jshaw5]

Your volume day bench is sick man.

[fittofattofit]

You'll be looking nasty shredded at 190 Musid
The vid is 'private' ... looking forward to seeing it later

[GinjaNinja85]

A paused single for 295 is ridiculous Musid. That's very very fu**ing impressive man. Respect

[xRequiem]

strong ID benching but that volume day is much more impress imo

[Sinaku5]

Thanks Josh! Pushing for 265 next week...

Thanks Andrew! And I un-privated (not a word lol).

A paused single for 295 is ridiculous Musid. That's very very fu**ing impressive man. Respect

Thanks Mike I haven't done a paused single at 295 yet, but I don't doubt that I have one in me on a good day. I've done 285x2 paused before.

strong ID benching but that volume day is much more impress imo

Thanks Requiem!

[fittofattofit]

Vid of 295 bench.

That looked pretty loose and you still made it look easy Musid!

[GinjaNinja85]

Are you lifting still mate?

[bballjoey93]

Hey man I was looking into Texas method to help gains strength and also wanted to keep getting bigger so was looking at swolertrophy. I didn't read through all your thread but what did you find out about it working or did you switch it up more so? How have size gains been? I see you made mad strength gains nice job man!!

[Sinaku5]

After my year long hiatus I'm going to be starting this back up tomorrow.

Good to see you back on board Musid! I assume the hiatus was a year away from the boards but not from the training. Looking forward to the update!
