Yea I have really been enjoying it the past 2 week or so. Back and chest are what I wanted to thicken up the most so lets see.
Going to hit HYPER LEGs tmrw, then hit arms the day after take a day off then TEST my maxes
That will be filmed
Before I start my powerlifting block, this has been a great work of hyper/ power work with less volume elbows, shoulders feel good no pain so really excited to use the modified smolov and have no pain or injury by modifying it, train smarter, not longer, not harder. Adjust so you can do it for the long run .

I agree more with you on this then anything ever

[jaredmus]

Did this all before 7:30 am so it wasn't easy, never tested 1rm squat without Slingshot knee wraps which provide a HUGE PUSH.
Definatley humbling today. Taking tmrw off starting up a Powerlifting program on thursday

[jpfaherty]

was 1370
Felt ok with dead, bench was ehh, and squat not happy at all.
Saw Ebomb from the boards rep my max 8 times (doesn't feel good) ahhaa
looking to move up to 350 bench, 645 dead, 460 squats are my goals

[Bnizzle163]

1370 is nothing to be upset about. Remember--it's you against you. Try not to compare yourself to others or beat yourself up too badly. Just take your total now, and improve upon it .

Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chip @ Graeters, why you no come?

Before I parted ways with my old sponsor I would have been going for free. So now besides the miles it will put on my car, taking off time from work and ETC. I am saving my vacation week so I have 4 weeks in 2016. so is what it is . I will make it back someday, right now I am trying to save some money eventually in late 2016 buy a house with my girlfriend, and taxes were we are looking are upwards of 12-16k a year alone.

[jaredmus]

Squats- 7x5reps with 335lbs- felt good switched to the softer sole in the romaleos(made a difference ) I like it better
Sumo deads0 6x4 reps with 480- again felt good.

After about 3 weeks of this once I decide to get into a more advanced stage of this program I will be throwing an AMRAP set in on my 6x6 day on the last set for squats. Same for my Fat Grip Bench day.

Whats good this weekend?

[jaredmus]

Whats good this weekend?

Well had friday and today off
To start with whats good here is a pic from part of my free meal.
Fresh Italian focaccia bread and chicken marsalla from scratch

and some desserts, half of a few of these pastrie's

Then a scoop of Ben Jerrys Jimmy Fallon Ice cream(good mix ins, base is blehhh)
and here is how I look after


Having the free meals every 7-9 days is great for me espc in a time where I am trying to maintain, and or gain a little bit.

one scoop?

Thats blasphemy

DAMN, That free meal!!!

[jaredmus]

DAMN, That free meal!!!

yeah I think thats the nice part and I think I have heard jeff alberts say it about workouts
If you workout 250 times a year even if you have 5 bad workouts it makes up such a small percentage of workouts.
So in a gaining phase having those free meals once every 8 days or so really isn't the worst, plus I am not making money off of this, not an elite level pro and even most of them don't track all year long. I don't think my free meals when I am pretty lean for an offseason are going to kill my progress.
