@ Ilo, i had to take a few weeks off to build a barn. Once my body is ready, probably a couple weeks ill start in on that program.

I need to forward this talk of drinking olive oil to my friend. He struggles to gain weight and says "I'm trying" and now I can tell him that if he isn't drinking olive oil before bed to hit his daily calorie targets then he isn't trying hard enough!

[Jrahe42]

Dude... next challenge is 1L of virgin olive oil I've drunk a cup years ago and i still gag at the smell of the stuff...

[TheProgressiveOne]

'SQUAT FOCUS + DYNAMIC DEADLIFTS----- WORKOUT II



GYM WEIGHT-------------205lbs
SESSION DURATION-------1 hr 35 mins
REST TIMES -------------2-3 mins
WEATHER----------------25C (80F) Warmish night weather


Blue= (work set) Red= (PR)


NOTES:Made some amendments to my Ukrainian squat routine to suit my body and i like the way things look now. Hit week 2 tonight and got some lightish work sets of triples in, really focusing on maintaining low back and hamstring tension during reps. It seems there is little to no knee travel anymore which is good sign and knees felt great tonight as well,. As each set of 290 went on the better and more comfortable reps felt. Loaded some light deadlift singles and doubles for deads too, with no contrast resistance just as LIME likes it Actually did speed deads late in workout and little bit of power on the reps didnt feel as good as i wanted but still fast.



Warm Ups
--Light stretches
--X band walks

[ngolsen]

Solid session, tight speed deads... Looking thick...

GMs look wrong, just look like a bad squat

Speaking of bad squat... Your hips and your chest need to coordinate more... You had better GM on these than your GMs

Check out my iRon

[BombDonald]

I gotcha.

Thanks brah,
GMs are fine brah, as long as you know what your doing and your flexibility too, i have been at them a while and have no worries about low back to be honest.

i thought squats were a bit good morninged as well. As i watch the vid seems not as bad as i thought., although the chest and hips need more co ordination agree there, thanks for the observation big guy

I gotcha.

Good man!
