They got banned because they were bumping like all of TJ2000's threads, which there is like a 1000 of them. Even though the replies were on topic, I think the reason some of them were giving was "they were causing trouble", which is lame. Go to page like 2-4 on the exercise section and it's all like TJ threads. Luke was banned for telling the mods they suck.

lol

yeah, de barathrum and canadian iron do that. I don't know whats more annoying, the fact that they do that, or the fact that neither of them have ever seen the inside of a gym.

Its been a while since I updated this peice of **** so here's a progression pic for my boy W8isgr8 (Yes, I know I have nothing to prove). Quality sucks since it was a screenshot off a phone vid.

[gymratluke]

[The Real Deal]

Thanks. It was a lot of rows.

Its complicated lol. I was bulking on through til mid February which is when I started cutting from 194. If I had to guess I would say at 12/19, I was 185lb area and 3/31 I was 188lbs. So three pounds hahah. Hence complicated

I havent planned on it. No one really cares unless you are lifting insane weight. And there is so much pressure to improve every workout with a journal. I just keep track in my head. Maybe I'll update significant prs but I still havent decided.

My back is fine. I just started squatting again after 7 months off so the weight is pretty pathetic. I'm BB rowing again and every now and then I rack pull. Deads still scare the **** out of me, and IMO not worth the risk.

Yeah I know what you mean. The heavier the weight, the better the journal Still, there are alot of people out there who take a different angle on how various people are training.

Good to hear the back is better man! If that's the way you feel about the dead, as you said, it just ain't worth it if you aren't comfortable in any lift. Although a top exercise, there is nothing set in stone stating one MUST DL if one lifts weights!!

Take it easy man

Significant PR since I've always had trouble squatting and then add to that lower back issues. Wasnt really shooting for a widow but when I got to 15 I said what the heck lets do it. I was considering 25 but thought otherwise.

lower back feels drained atm...will have to see how it feels tomorrow.

[SwagMorris]

A workout in your journal Awesome!

What's a Safety Squat Bar?

Forces you to keep your lower back arched since the weight wants to make you fall forward.

I still check out peoples journals if they aren't lifting "insane" weight. I just don't have as much time as before (traveling ya know)
