Nice session there Derick. How did the dips feel?

IMpressed by the etaing. Keep at it mate

[derickonfire]

May 11th = 4.5k cals
May 12th = 2.6

looks like you ened to load back up on the snickers and lean pockets Derick! haha

maybe the lack of cals from the day before could be the main culprit, i dont know bud, but it was still productive session to say the least,

playing tetris between sets FTW! lol

The day is not yet over buddy!

Lean pockets sound awesome, I forgot about those.. brb =P

Strong DB rows man, wish we had 100+ db's

Dang man, that's gotta suck! Perhaps it's time to make a donation to the gym?

See if they'll put a donation jar or something, lol.. I'm sure guys would donate.

[FullOut19]

Haha, I just started tetris, so I can't say that it's the secret to 100lb db rows =P

Nice session there Derick. How did the dips feel?

The dips felt pretty good! Still got a good chest workout even with the higher reps.

Just do it! You'd be surprised with the muscle gains, and it's not hard to cut some fat =P

Eating like a freaking horse man! and getting fat like a pig, lol..

Holy ****, you're practically shredded now. Nice to see you again dude

Not anymore =P

I'm bulking, and still very very far from shreded.

How have you been? it's been a long while mate!

I updated my journal. I thought I made progress in the last 6 months... reading your journal made me feel like I went nowhere, lol! Cheers

Don't feel that way.. I got kind of obsessive for a while and did nothing but train and think of training.. it was getting kind of unhealthy, imo.

You can hit your goals easy, I posted in your log... knowing what I know now, 1700 cals is way to little man...

[AllGenetix]

sick workout derick, glad the bulk is coming well. lamb FTW@!

[Hypertrophyk]

looks good, derick. your fitdays have been pretty epic lately.

[Spottydog]

LOL, Tetris

Good on you for going, I just hope you know your limits (you're actually pretty smart about that kinda thing, so I'm not worried).

Wow, 10 sets of curls!

BTW-- really working ahead here! Workout for tomorrow done TODAY!

[2 D]

Solid workout derick and like others have mentioned you're eating like a stallion. Between you, Kirk, Bob and Matt there needs to be an eating competition, Pete can join in too if he gets some time, but I feel he might be too strong a competitor for anybody on these forums.

Regardless, the wheels have been set in motion. The Board is set and pieces need to begin moving!

And yeah I have Tetris on my phone and yes I am addicted to it, play it before class all the time. It nukes my battery though

[jamesV1.1]

Workouts look sick as always bro. Keep pushing.

Finally got the squats that I've been wanting! It was tough and the last few almost killed me =P

Fairly successful workout on paper.. I do feel good and my legs are more fried than they have been in a while.

I'm gaining weight a LITTLE too fast, so I'm going to scale the calories down to 4.5k max, with an aim for 4k...

[matthor]

there it is! BIIG session on the legs mate. the eating paid off eh?!

[xquick]

puttin those 4900kcal yesterday to GOOD USE D, love it. congrats on getting the squats u wanted man, thats a good accomplishment.

o btw, tetris in between sets is really cool

[Spottydog]

Woooott! Impressive squats!

Bulk's doing you well I see... but if it's too much you could always send a few oz's roasted lamb this-a-way

I see you got the date right... for a minute I thought you'd moved to tomorrow-land w/ Matt and Emma!

So, how is that hammerstrength ham raise set up at Gold's? Is it a lying sort of arrangement?

[The Solution]

wow.. 3 pr's, got to be the eating man, 4.9k is no joke, you must be living ur life around eating right now unless you just love them hot pockets way too much big guy

You got me amped for squtas today Derick!

COMMENTS::.

Don't worry, the day isn't over yet - more calories coming =P
I've got some friends in town and we might go see Iron Man (my 2nd time, I love Tony Stark's charisma, so much - it's almost inspirational. I've never seen a movie twice in the theater btw)
Me and my cousin might go climb a mountain too, it depends on how the heat pans out later.

The bench was AWESOME! I almost lost the last rep and actually had to rock back and forth a little with some lat combination pushing to lock out on it - if that makes any sense. Idk if that would fly in a lifting contest meet lol... but I wasn't ready to get pinned by the bar =P It's going to feel awesome to finally be pushing bodyweight for reps in the next couple of weeks/months.

Did a lot of chest focus today, really trying to fill in my weak gaps so I can win / place in this contest. I'm really excited to finish this bulking month then cut for a solid 2 months - it's going to be very tough, but I want to lose the fat and get as lean as possible.

[AllGenetix]

BW Bench is so close! keep hittin it hard and hopefully the weather is mountain climbing worthy. that sounds legit. i heard iron man was good too, sounds like some good times coming up!

[matthor]

great benching, great eating, great stuff derick.

Glad to hear you got some visitors coming, enjoy it mate. Hope you do find your way to the mountain, i really love the diea of that!

[meyer23]

wow awesome benching man..hope the movies and mountain climbing is fun...keep eatin big man before ya gotta stop and cut

[FullOut19]

very nice bench PR man EAT UP for the rest of this month dude all your lifts are sky rocketing which is awesome... then you'll be a strong ass dude and get to start your cut. then you'll be a cut strong ass dude :-p

[Hypertrophyk]

strong bench again - it'll be fun to watch it go up and past bodyweight.
