E_P_C and MTCS go full APE, Bulk to Cut with Athletic Edge Nutrition

[E_P_C]

Thanks bro. The lifts felt good today and like you, I am very confident that I will be back to my original numbers very soon!
I think that I may have under stated my goals. I will either meet or exceed them at the end of this!

you have some good goals set

before pics?

[MTCS]

Are you going to post before pictures? I need something to fap to

I will make an attempt to get some done up this weekend. I think they will be more important when I start the cutting phase of this.

Today was suppose to be a rest day but **** that

[KenshinH]

This joint log is going great! You guys are kicking ass the last few days

@EPC, I don't recall you doing sumos. Was this a recent change or was I just blind before?

[MTCS]

Today is my rest day as well, unfortunately I have spent most of it doing retirement preps.
This definitely needed to be a lift day! Back at it tomorrow!

Yeah you're right. I just define sumo as legs outside of the arms, but from your deadlift vid, your hands are at about the same width as your knees as you pass them on lockout. I think the majority of people are stronger on sumo than conventional (me included) because of the leg involvement.

but my legs are weak in comparison to my back

[KenshinH]

So are you doing this to strengthen your legs? From what I recall of your 480 vid, your speed off the floor was phenomenal (almost all back by the way ). Where you struggled was the lockout.

well more to fix form, less back rounding

Makes sense. See my edit of the post you quoted.

yeah gonna start adding some rack pulls also

[TheReverend]

Btw, dude, since I've gotten back into pullups and am quickly up to repping +75 lbs, I decided to look into WRs for Chin-Ups as a fun goal to chase.

...are you ****ing kidding me with these numbers some of these people have?!? 105 in 3 mins?!

Is this real life?

95% endurance, 5% strength

Your +45 lbs record... is that exclusively pull-up form or chin grip count the same?

[E_P_C]

pull up only

of course if someone wanted to do chins they could. i have only found one guy who can beat my 24. if im going for anything its the 1 min WR. Guinness wont approve all kinds of crazy added weight stuff so it is what it is

I wouldn't call it sumo, doesn't look that wide? Idk

Alright I will put my legs inside my arms and just use more back

lol well deadlift IS a back exercise

i guess what you are doing would be called more semi-sumo than anything. you using a high bar position for squats or low bar position
