thanks, man. i agree and am pretty excited to not only pull the 5 but have complete confidence that another 10 or more pounds could be doable.

lolz. ya, i'm back. and, yes, i've been posting for the alleged milfs on fito instead of my brose here on bb.

i really love you guys more (pinky swear), just takes more time and effort to get on here. plus i want to read everything from everybody i follow which is a physically impossible task.

insanely busy w/ end of school, catch up from my week away (just now getting caught up, thank God), and two launches of products in the next two weeks

will catch up my posting here soon.

summary for now: got back two saturdays ago. deadlifted the next day. 455x2 for top set. felt fine. bench was a little weaker on tuesday, but nothing too bad, 195x3x3. started warming up for my new cycle of squats w/ 2x10 @ 55%. deads this past sunday were dead in the water. had a bachelor party the night before and my back had been tweaky for two days at that point. got up to 455 and stopped after 1 rep cause of a right hammie cramp that made me rely too much on my back. benched yesterday 195x5x3, back in the game there. squat cycle begins tomorrow w/ 3x10 @ 60% (220).

holla

Nice! But hey, you have your own MILF... so leave the other ones alone, eh? :P

Good to see you back in action. Oddly enough, I'm not perusing Fito all that much any more. I just go in, log my workout, clear my activity, and post here. So I get what you mean, no worries!

So how was the trip???

I think we'd all like to know about it ... Get to summarizing, man!

[johnblythe]

it was awesome! i'll be posting some pics in the next few days.

lolz. i sure do.

ya, if bb would get a legitimate mobile version i think i'd be on here a lot. but, as it is, the only time i'd get on is in the middle of work and then i fall down the rabbit hole of a dozen logs, reading the trolls, awesome gifs, etc. whereas fito i can do while on the go, on the can, etc. cause of being mobile.

--------------

just wanted to drop in real quick and say hey to everyone. hope you're all a lot stronger and hawter than when i last was on here a few weeks ago. i haven't forgotten about you all or this log. just been craaaaazy busy. end of school, product launch, creating/expanding a team (ie vetting, hiring, admin'ing, etc.), deadlines, birthdays, graduations, lions, tigers, and bears oh my!

will post some mali pics soon as well as a huge dump of the last two weeks' worth of workouts.

miss my brose and have really been thinking about you guys, just been flyin' a kite in a hurricane lately. should calm down in the next week or two, at least to some degree, so i'll be able to join in on the activities more oft once again.

<3

[KenshinH]

Good to hear you're still working out man! Take care of real life stuff and come back when you're able to.

Have a happy mother's day!

[johnblythe]

hey brose. still working out. still wanting/trying to play catch up—both on here and in a few other areas in life. launching a product tomorrow, two birthdays this week, then a wedding i'm officiating this weekend. after that i think i'll be able to breathe at least a little!

so, as a token of good faith, here's today's workout

Lower Power - May 14, 2013

Barbell Squat:
45 lb x 10 reps (+42 pts)
135 lb x 8 reps (+75 pts)
185 lb x 6 reps (+98 pts)
225 lb x 5 reps (+121 pts)
275 lb x 8 reps (+192 pts)
275 lb x 8 reps (+192 pts)
255 lb x 8 reps (+168 pts)
whoops. was supposed to do 255x8x3. did the math wrong realized it after set 2, dropped the weight down because of my lower back being tender from sunday's deads still (usually do squats on thursday, changed routines tho starting today). w00t

Hack Squat:
150 lb x 5 reps (+27 pts)
185 lb x 10 reps (+40 pts)
185 lb x 10 reps (+40 pts)
185 lb x 10 reps (+40 pts)
these were harder than i anticipated. weren't even full hack squats, was more of a horizontal calf/hack-squat sort of contraption. may need to adjust the seat better next time to work it better, idk.

Leg Extensions:
90 lb x 12 reps (+14 pts)
90 lb x 12 reps (+14 pts)
90 lb x 12 reps (+14 pts)

Stiff-Legged Barbell Deadlift:
135 lb x 6 reps (+70 pts)
225 lb x 8 reps (+137 pts)
225 lb x 8 reps (+137 pts)
225 lb x 8 reps (+137 pts)
easy breezy. good work for my left hand's grip, too.

notes: well i'm taking a risk: leaving power routines behind for a little while. i got into this game to get sexy. haven't done a good job of that. got addicted to the numbers for a while. i think that's a good thing, but it's time to shake things up for more than a few reasons. i'm drawn to PHAT by Norton because 1) it's by norton, 2) it doesn't cause me to forsake power/strength completely.

started today. only catch is that 1) i'm keeping deads more integrated and completely autoregulated through the end of the month in order to stomp out my good friend kenshin and jshaw on this little race of ours best yet, i think my test day for the max deads will end up being while i'm hanging w/ ken at the end of the month. w00t! 2) i'm keeping the power day's squatting consistent with my simple but custom programming from last cycle since it paid off so well and i'm already 3 weeks deep into it.

it's beach season and i live 40-60 minutes from 4 different beaches so it's time this awkwardly skinny fat body of mine gets in a bit better shape.

i'll catch up the last 2 weeks workouts here soon and post mali pics. hope everyone is doing well, thanks for hanging in there with me. do love <3 sohomo.

[KenshinH]

Can't wait for that day bro!

Do you want to just do deadlifts or do a mock meet?

We shouldn't actually max out, but just hit some 90% lifts for fun.

Nice looking sessions- you've been keeping busy with all that volume!

[johnblythe]

Nice looking sessions- you've been keeping busy with all that volume!

indeed. it's been a nice change of pace in some ways. in the gym more than usual while being busier than usual, but enjoying it a bit more than usual as well because of new challenges, learning new things, feeling new doms, etc.

hopefully gonna be gettin dat aestheticz everyone speaks of

[PeterGibbons316]

Tons of work being done, nice!

Do I need an Instagram account to view your pics?

ya dude, he's a freaking hoss. fearless and strong as crap too.

how's jackson? keeping you and momma busy i'm sure, huh?

All dems worksouts... Holy cow! How much time are you spending in the gym with PHAT?

about 50-70 minutes each, 5x a week. even though it's more time than what i'm used to and all amidst an even busier schedule than what i'd been maintaining previously, it's been a mental break of sorts. not sure if it's because i don't have as much pressure on myself to perform something big and strong or if it's simply the fact that it's a change of pace in general, but it's been nice whatever the case.

Random'ish Pre-Vacay Power Day - May 27, 2013

Barbell Squat:
45 lb x 6 reps (+38 pts)
135 lb x 6 reps (+70 pts)
225 lb x 6 reps (+128 pts)
275 lb x 2 reps (+114 pts)
290 lb x 6 reps (+199 pts)
290 lb x 6 reps (+199 pts)
290 lb x 6 reps (+199 pts)

Repset PR ftw

Barbell Bench Press:
45 lb x 5 reps (+36 pts)
135 lb x 5 reps (+67 pts)
155 lb x 5 reps (+77 pts)
185 lb x 5 reps (+94 pts)
185 lb x 5 reps (+94 pts)
185 lb x 5 reps (+94 pts)

First bb bench in 3 or so weeks. Felt pretty weird. Gonna do this on power days and dumbbells on gainz days.

Barbell Deadlift:
135 lb x 5 reps (+66 pts)
225 lb x 5 reps (+121 pts)
315 lb x 3 reps (+178 pts)
385 lb x 2 reps (+241 pts)
435 lb x 1 reps (+273 pts)
475 lb x 1 reps (+357 pts)
435 lb x 2 reps (+337 pts)

Kept volume low. Didn't want to fry. 475 was stubborn at bottom and very top but no actual grinding. Mojo was off from last week changing deads up and not being used to following the other lifts. Whatevz, onward.

Pendlay Row:
95 lb x 5 reps (+37 pts)
115 lb x 3 reps (+34 pts)
140 lb x 5 reps (+51 pts)
140 lb x 5 reps (+51 pts)
140 lb x 5 reps (+51 pts)

nothing much here. were harder than they should've been, was pretty fatigued by then.

notes: not too much to report. squats felt good. bench felt wonky after the few weeks off. deads felt a bit heavier than i expected, but nothing terrible. pendlay's were tougher than they should've been due to being tired. should be good to go for vacation now. @kens, heading your way!

[KenshinH]

Emailed you my mobile number brah. Call/text me when you get in.

My body is ready

[johnblythe]

brose,

back from san fran (and cali in general). had a wonderful time with the wife the entire time, as well as some fun w/ my other lover @KenshinH at a totally packed out and broed out gym. he gave me some awesome coaching on bench which i'm going to be working on big time over the coming weeks. hopefully some of that form fixing will help to keep me moving forward.

here's our workout:
