    Today was Deadlift day and here it is.

    275x6
    345x4
    385x2
    405x2 PR (was feeling awesome after this) Video below
    435x0 (not feeling so awesome now) Video below
    395x3
    375x4
    375x3

    I had planned to do some squats after while, but the way my hams, glutes, spinal erectors, and traps feel I don't know if that will happen or not.
    I felt really strong today and this is the first time since I started my cut that I was able to pull 405, I had just about given up on it. I weighed in at 172 this morning, and was hoping to pull the 435 for a 2.5xBW lift. Maybe next time. Today's foods If I am able to squat later I will update.

    Here is the second half of today's session: Squats

    125x10
    225x6
    295x2 PR (vidoe below)
    245x5
    245x5
    245x4


    That was it for squats today, since I swapped off days I will be squatting again in two days so I kept it low volume today. Felt good to hit the 295 though even if the form was crappy. I felt like I could have done 315, but I am sure the form would have suffered even more and I don't want to risk an injury. All in all today has been a very good day, and I felt the strength I have been missing. Rest does a body good

    Not only did you get that 405 x 2 (and the lifts looked very good by the way) but that was a huge heavy lifting session anyway. Really strong volume with the 345 x 4 and 385 x 2 on the way up, and then the 395 x 3, 375 x 4 and the 375 x 3 on the way down.
    I'm so jealous now ---- I'll be looking for a measly 180kg/396lbs x 1 tomorrow

    And an honourable fail on the 435!

    Great work on the squatting as well

    Thanks Louise. I for sure didn't let myself down yesterday, I was pumped to the max. It came at a good time too, I really needed an uplift.

    Thanks Andrew. I really thought I had the 405 for three, but once I pulled on the 3rd rep I knew it wasn't going up. My form was crap on the squats, but I got it back up and it was a confidence booster. Hopefully I can do the 315 soon with decent form.

    Today was Back and Biceps and here it is.

    Pull-ups
    BWx10
    BWx10
    BWx10
    BWx9

    Bent Over Rows
    135x12
    155x10
    185x10
    205x8
    225x6

    Yates rows
    155x10
    185x10
    205x10
    225x8
    245x6

    Seated cable rows
    160x12
    180x10
    200x8
    200x8
    200x6

    Olympic bar curls
    65x12
    70x11
    75x9
    75x8
    75x6

    Seated DB curls
    20'sx10
    20'sx10
    20'sx9

    Hammer curls
    20'sx12
    20'sx10
    20'sx9

    That was it for today. My entire back is pumped up really tight, and my biceps feel like they are going to burst. I had planned to do a few sets of One arm DB rows, but my back was shot by the time I got to them. My biceps were pretty wasted too before I even did any curls. I really liked the feel of the Yates rows and will continue to work those in from time to time, alternating between those and the DB rows. Today's food I was back up to 173 this morning, I may have to tweak the diet a bit but will stay the course for a few more days and see what happens. I have been trying to lower the carbs and up the protien, but for me lowering the carbs much more is going to be hard to do. I like everything that is full of carbs I have no issues eating less, but not sure I can survive on meat/fish/dairy alone. Will hit Legs and Triceps tomorrow.

    this!! wow, eric. if you had done less volume yesterday on the way up to 435, i bet you coulda beat that burly number as well. also really impressed that the day after those deads and squats (impressive PR there as well!) that you can come in the next day and give it everything all over again. good job.

    i think an easy way for you to cut a bit of carbs is to use a protein supp that doesn't have carbs (or is very low on carbs) while you're cutting.

    pure protein (found at walmart) is ok tasting and has 25 gm protein, 3 gm fat and 4 gm carb per scoop. saves on calories and carbs. i've only tasted the chocolate one, and it's fine.

    Thanks geek. I am sure I will be plenty sore tomorrow from the last two sessions. I meant to say about cutting carbs that I know I can, I just hate to give up the bread, oatmeal and everything else that is full of them. I love beef/chicken/fish, but they go much better with some carbs on the side

    Of course your back was 'shot' --- that was a load of heavy rows after those pull-ups!
    Are your 'bent over' rows Pendlay style, Eric? If so then 225 is really heavy and the 245 Yates rows and 200 seated cable rows are heavy as well
    And you're looking really trim at 173 in the vids so I'd say that the cut has been very successful you've dropped 8 lbs and kept your strength

    Thanks Andrew. My BOR's are around 45* maybe just a bit more on the lighter sets, I tend to get more upright with the heavier sets. I hope to lose around 8 to 10 more pounds without a loss in strength. I won't be lower than 10/12% at that weight so it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

    Today was Legs and Triceps and here it is.

    185x8
    225x6
    245x5
    315x0
    315x1 (thought I got it on video but apparently I forgot to hit record)
    315x1 (video below)
    275x5

    245x5

    Leg press
    350x10
    350x10
    375x10
    375x8

    Skull crushers
    65x12
    70x11
    70x10

    Vbar Tricep pushdowns
    50x15
    55x13
    60x10

    That was it for today. After failing on the first 315 attempt I went outside and took some deep breaths of cool air 44* for about 2 minutes and came back and tried again. This time it went fairly easy and to be honest the form felt better on it that the 295 the other day. Sad thing was I forgot to hit record so I had to do it again. The second time felt good form wise, but I could get down to parallel. I won't count it as a PR until I can do it parallel on video. I had a really good leg session today despite having some serious DOMS in my glutes and hams from the deadlifts and squats tuesday. During my first set of Skull crushers my Brother in law called and held me up for a good 20 minutes, so the tricep workout suffered a little. Today's food I tried to keep the calories a bit lower today and keep the carbs under 150. Would like to do this daily, but it may not work out.



    Here is a back picture I took yesterday after my workout, but forgot to post.

    That squat looked very good Eric --- like you said: not parallel, but your back position looked rock solid and you stayed in control all the way through
    Your back is looking really good in that pic --- thick shoulders and traps with strong spinal erectors!
    And going by that pic I would have said that you were ~12% at the moment so I don't think that you need to plan to lose another 8lbs to get to 10%

    Thanks Andrew. The first 315 squat felt better to me, I just wish I would have hit the record button. It forced me to do it twice though, notice I looked back to see if the little red light was on in the video I sure didn't want to have to do it three times. If you saw the front you would agree that at least 8 more pounds needs to come off, I have some fluff around the love handles and lower abs, there is a bit of lower back fat there as well, it just doesn't show as well with my arms lifted. Once I get to the desired BF% I will very slowly raise the calories in hopes to make some nice lean gains this time around. I have learned after this first bulk that slow gains without having to go back and waste time stripping fat to me are more efficient in the long run.

    That was it for today. I worked out earlier today so I could hit the woods this afternoon, I havent been seeing much in the mornings and thought an afternoon hunt may be the trick. I have lifted for four straight days now and can tell you that there is not a muscle in my body that isn't sore, I will have about 48 hours until my next session though so hopefully I will be fully recovered for benchpressing by then.

    Great progression Eric! Loving that squat. You know it's heavy when you can see your weak points unfold. I thought it was a great job. Hey, would you want to trek to Loganville in Dec to see Dave Wiggins go for the masters benchpress record? It's far as hell, but maybe we can get the atlanta crew there to cheer him on.

    I would love to go see that Dru. I was drawn for a quota hunt that weekend though and would hate to miss that. Hopefully they will have another soon in the surrounding area. I would love to watch someone in real life lift those kinds of weight.

    Working 4 days straight, time for some good ol' fashioned R & R

    Nice thickening happening in your back.

    Good to hear the shoulder has been behaving! Quite a few positives to be pleased about there

    Nice thickening happening in your back.

    Good to hear the shoulder has been behaving! Quite a few positives to be pleased about there
    Thanks Louise. The shoulder is feeling good, hope to keep it that way. Rested well today, it was much needed.

    Off today. Today's food

    Straight bar tricep pushdowns
    50x12
    60x10
    65x10

    That was it for today. My chest is super pumped and triceps are too. upper chest is really pumped. I di the flat presses with the medium grip which is about shoulder width or maybe just beyond and that is as wide as I can go with it right now. The inclines were all with a wide grip and for some reason it doesn't hurt on the inclines to go wide. It actually feels better with the wider grip on those. I took a free sample from bb.com of C4 extreme pre-workout suppliment and my hair is itching and I feel kinda blushed in my face. Think I will stick with a good cup of strong coffee
    Todays food The wife and I went out earlier for our 20th anniversary dinner and I tried to eat as healthy as possible, but today's diet was off a bit. Hope to get back on track tomorrow.
