Saw the video on ********. Good job!!

[demonwareltd]

Little something from today's back workout. A prep PR.

Inna - always bumping my **** to a new page!

Thanks buddy.

[TakedaShingen]

450x5 like it's no big deal!!!

Boss.

[HARRYBEAST]

You pretty strong











for a bodybuilder


Nice work for real though

[demonwareltd]

Thanks guys - I like to pretend that I am strong. Fact is, get me on a bench press and I will likely press less than 75% of the gym bros. Deadlift has just become my money lift over the last year - mostly because of me specifically training for it through lots of volume and accessory movements. Makes me wonder if I could get a decent bench as well through such efforts.

Strong DL!

Try sheiko or smolov for bench in your offseason

[HARRYBEAST]

Don't worry about Benching. To anyone that cares about strength Deadlifts are way more impressive

[IK9]

I suck ass at dead lifts.. I'll trade my bench for your dead lift any day lol

"How much you lift bro?!"
All of it... Reps for Jesus!!

Sheiko gave me most my deadlift gains last off season. Bench got better too but not to as great a degree.

Yeah, that's true I guess. I did have some young guy open mouthed as he watched my set and commented that he couldn't even get 450 off the ground.

Deal. Then I will improve your deadlift so I will be good at both. Ohhhhhh!!

I will say this more people ask me how to bench than deadlift and my bench sucks comparatively.

Wow, never thought of that. Smart! #somuchwin

[demonwareltd]

As expected - weight back up into the 226s. Chest and HIIT on tap today along with refeed! Was gonna refeed on Saturday like last week but wife is away on business all day so I play stay at home dad. Probably hit the trails with my son for some MISS though tomorrow

Deads lookin STRONG!!!!! I know you said you always feel beyond during prep but was wondering at what time do you feel your getting "closer" to ready? Any physique/mirror cues? Curious as we all loose bf differently and I know for me, once I see my hip veins, I know I get to a certain bf lvl

[Stncldsnake]

Strong deads Stan!!

[demonwareltd]

Thanks guys. I would say once I get to 8 weeks out things start tightening up much faster. I will show u an 8 week out pic vs day before show pic from last prep to better illustrate when I have some time later tonight.

[Vanguard1965]

Grats on the DL PR Stan you made that look easy!

[demonwareltd]

Still alive, just haven't been posting much.

CARDIO:

Elliptical (15 mins) / Treadmill (10 mins) MISS


THOUGHTS:

Left hip was a bit on the sore side throughout the workout, likely due to sprinting the other day and the cardio in general. Still happy with a 385 squat, but would have liked to do more volume/weight on leg presses, but the hip wasn't having it. Just getting through the MISS afterwards was brutal.

Nice work man!

Whats your all time squat PR?

[demonwareltd]

Thanks JP - 455

[IK9]

[Blazed]

Strong fatloss!!

[HARRYBEAST]

Still not to depth, but hella impressive for a bodybuilder

[Vanguard1965]

Grats on the prep low and nice job on the squats!

[red_cat]

That there is some big time squatting.

[demonwareltd]

Thanks guys. Yes, squat wasn't to depth but that has no meaning unless you are on the platform. I am all about that leg growth
