Blue type every session
Doing great with the pull-ups @ BW+40kg for 4 reps and all with a BW of 103kg ... must be close to pulling-up a combined total of 150kg for a single. Puts my PR pull up at BW+32kg for a grand total of 97kg in perspective
DB shoulder presses at 8 x 120lbs are outstanding and awesome heavy work on leg day with the RDLs and Hacks!

Are you going to post it?

[JustBulk]

grats on the PR.

[Rushed77]

Damn strong as ever! Makes me jelly, i've had my medical issues... skeletal problems suck. I remember back in the day when we were similar stats. Hope my final surgery goes well, in boston on the 10th to see another surgeon.. Just droppin in to say hi, not sure you remember me, but i'm glad you're still with it, and to wish you the best.

My only lift i might have you beat in is chin ups/pullups. I do 90lbs x 6 reps, or 12 reps with 45 lbs. Although if you factor in bodyweight you'd have my total beat, im only 175lb.
The rest you've blown past significantly! That's what consistency does for you! :P

Also, lets see some progress pics bro!

Great numbers!
Damn those DB presses are heavy ... I can press a 70kg barbell for 5 reps . Reps looked great with great tempo and control and you are looking lean.

Thanks mate, i'll try and get some more videos of my lifts if I can. I was more concerned about ROM before I saw it on video as it's sometimes hard to tell unless you see it for yourself but I was pretty satisfied after reviewing the footage.

Vids are a great tool to make sure you keep to good form or to correct things when they go wrong
How's the training and body feeling? Do you still feel that the SARMS are doing good?

Looking through this journal is like a time capsule to the past. At 31 Im no longer young and on the grand scale of things i am not strong but while many things in my life have changed lifting has not. Looking back over the past 14 years i am both depressed at nit taking my time when i was younger to progress more gradually and proud of myself considerong the amount i have sacrificed to chase my passion.

So as i sit here older slower and in far more pain than 14 years ago i dont regret dedicated most of my spare time in my life to the gym and while i think i couldve done better in terms of progress i have average genetics at best and don't believe even with the correct programming i wpuld be a top lifter in the country regardless.

I wpuld like to get stronger on squats and deadlifts the most but lower back injuries have made progress nearly non exsistent or inconsistent at best. I recemtly weighed in at 275lbs which concluded a long and unsuccessful bulk that lead to far too much fat gains. Im currently cutting and im done to 120kgs.

Hey bro you alive?

Hey bro you alive?

Yes lol

Looking back on this journal is somewhat bitter sweet. Its been almost exactly 16 years since ive started it anns im 32 now which means ive been lifting for over half my life.

I made a lot of mistakes throughout my years of lifting on here and into my 30s i started paying the price with chronic i juries including 3 bulging discs in my lower back almost all of this was due to a too higher workload with high intensity when i was younger. I followed my share of programs and did my share of resets so i dont if i wouldve ever got real elite numbers strength and size wise but i should wouldve avoided a lot of complications.

I still train religiously but i try and be smarter with it having spent the last year rehabbing my lower back. Ive lost 20kgs recently putting me at ultrasound test 15%bf at 230lbs (104.5kgs). I lost a notable amount of strength dropping the 20kgs which makes me think im kind of on a bulking/cutting merry go round so see zero reason to ever get above 242lbs ever again.

I hit a couple of PRs last when i was at a fat 275lbs:

My best lifts include:

Saftey Bar Squats
2x465lbs (210kgs)

Flat DB bench
3x180lbs (82.5kgs) shallow ROM
3X170lbs (77.5kgs)

Romanian Deadlift
8x525lbs (240kgs)
3x572.5kbs (260kgs)

BB Rows
3x440lbs (200kgs)

Im not clise these numbers at the moment but i will get them back up now that im maintaining around 231-235lbs. Not sure my goals for my 30s now bit i sometimes think my prime lifting days are behind but i try not to think like that. If i ever get a family i know that ill be just be in pure maintenance mode by that point.

Dude, that is some impressive dedication and achievements. Few reach that level of strength ever. Keep going and best of luck.

Hey i appreciate that, if you were to look back i hit 420lbsx3 in 2008 on deadlifts and was offered a weightlifting sponsorship shortly after. Sometimes i think i should of taken it knowing the course i was heading on so its nice to hear still.

I find we are all a continous work in progress and theres things i got slightly better at each year which is something
