The AM app sucks. It's crashed on almost every post the last three days. There went three paragraphs...
In short, I'll try it.

This was easily the best deadlift session I've had this entire Cube cycle - quad had zero problems (despite last week's random freakout), back feels really good for once, and I'm finally getting the hips down better and some real confidence with my legdrive off the floor. Things moved pretty well and everything felt light. Just might be in line for a little meet PR if this keeps up
This really had me pushing hard tonight. I don't really know what they're saying either. But it gets the mood right:

Sorry, meant that I did some pulls from the floor without the belt where I paused at various points, then tried to explode through the remainder of the lift.Woohoo! Congrats on the PR! What is a belt less pause?
Thank you; crossing my fingers that it isn't an issue this Friday on squat - scheduled for a heavy day :head:Good work man! Glad the quad is feeling better
Nice PR Hyde.
Nice lifting brother,
Fingers crossed for your squatting
Thank you, gentlemen!Strong PR young one!
This. Where is the grip at?That is some strong Close Grips!
These were too light, but I wanted to save gas for better iso holds on the pause work - last week I hit 245x2 & 255x2 on close grip for the heavy day. It's fairly close - still on the knurling, but more than a full hand-width inside my normal competition grip (which is about 1" inside the rings).This. Where is the grip at?
I've only really done inside smooth or half/half on CG, with most of it higher rep stuff.These were too light, but I wanted to save gas for better iso holds on the pause work - last week I hit 245x2 & 255x2 on close grip for the heavy day.

Not really impressive; my close-grip probably only trails my normal by 15lbs lol
Lol. I thought everyone loved squats.Off day tonight. Heavy squat is on tap for tomorrow evening and I can't wait. Squatting sucks, but there's something very validating about getting under a heavy barbell and taking it for a ride.
Leg day:Lol. I thought everyone loved squats.
I don't put a terrible amount of stock in isolation work, if you haven't noticed. It has its place, but the focus of my first 3 movements on the Cube is always "building through volume on the main lifts". So the 2nd two movements are just variants to approach the lift from a different way but still have a large amount of carryover. I setup with an arch still and use my legs and everything. Going very close is tough on the wrists, can also be tough on the shoulders, and if you're not on the knurling you're just increasing the odds of dropping the bar on your neck I figure. If you like a really close grip, using say a 2-board will help all of those problems though.I've only really done inside smooth or half/half on CG, with most of it higher rep stuff.
To have a better transfer over to bench press, should I stay in the knurling with heavier/fewer reps? I just figured the more inside the more tricep isolation.
My "comp grip" is identical to yours, FWIW.
There's a reason they have Push/Pull & bench only, naw mean??Lol. I thought everyone loved squats.
That is an AWESOME offer - 30 bux for a month of E9 and any of those supps is incredible! The Dopadex is very good, used 3 bottles of the stuff I believe. Would really like to run some Forskolin for a couple months here soon, with the Chloro-Test would be very intriguing.For those following and considering Ergonine...

Now is the time, free Analyzed Supplements with each tub ordered!!!
The best valued supplement on the market just got better
I should consider this...Damn those are some heavy squats.. I remember Steve used to wear a mouth guard so he wouldn't grind teeth together during his lifts..
Lol they were heavier than they should have been but it's what it is. I don't actually grind my teeth, but I've seen guys wear guards plenty.Damn those are some heavy squats.. I remember Steve used to wear a mouth guard so he wouldn't grind teeth together during his lifts..
Every time I open the container it smokes! That's normal about 50% of the time for the first time you open a preworkout, but this is so dry & blended it does it every time, and the quality shows when shaken up big time. Smooth drinking.^ that breakfast sounds crazy good Hyde
And I agree, powder is super micronized, mixes beautifully. I like the way the mist of pink comes out of my Nanaberry when its opened
I accept the patLol they were heavier than they should have been but it's what it is. I don't actually grind my teeth, but I've seen guys wear guards plenty. Had bfast out w/ the lady today - Steak, egg & cheese bagel & a bowl of steel cut oats covered in strawberries, pecans, and a mound of brown sugar w/ some dark Costa Rican coffee. Wish I'd taken a pic. Epic. Mixed up some Blue Ice E9 a couple hours later and about 2/3 scoop of Focus and trudged back to the gym for some backup legwork. E9 mixes perfect in anything, btw - I can't get the stuff to clump. And whoever picked the size of the tubs, length of scooper, and dry packets it comes in deserves a pat on the back - THIS is how you package a supplement. Very minimal deadspace and everything fits well and stays emulsified. Legwork More rolling, cycle for hips - Everything felt awesome besides lower back Frontsquats 45x5 95x5 135x8 185x8 225x8 +belt, loose wraps w/ caps exposed (kept em on for 15 min loose) 275x5 305x2 Legpress 5 plates/side x13 6pps x8 7pps x8 8pps x8 Lying Leg Curl 60, 80, 100, 120x5 w/ no rest 140x8 160x6, 8 180x7 ds 100x6 Bird Dogs Should have just kept the weight at 275 for another set or 2 of 3-5 on fronts, but lost focus of the workout and of course put weight on the bar for no reason. Because my lower back needed that? Lol but it was awesome to have no knee pains; first time I've legpressed without pain in half a year. Rolling the ITBs is the ticket. Think I might try to get back into lunges and try some BSS next time even. Fun and empowering workout.
I bet 2 Hyde's could deadlift a smart car.Look at this guy. Squatting cars and such.
Lol I'm embarassed I could barely manage 305 on fronts....check this out:Look at this guy. Squatting cars and such.
Not as tough as you'd think, at least to lift an axle up and drag it like Franco Columbo. This awful woman in college drove a pink convertible Geo Metro, and one day (having enough of her crap) 4 of us turned her car sideways in her parking spot in a full parking lot. Only one guy had past lifting experience at the time, but it was like 2200lbs maybe and you're only lifting less than half at a time really a short range. She didn't leave on time that day....I bet 2 Hyde's could deadlift a smart car.
Reminds me of a funny story, actually..
Everyone following here I strongly recommend you check out EBF's thread ^ - if you even hoist, that is!
Thanks for the love bro.
Nice pulls there. 515 is no joke.
I pulled 500 at 80kg and saw stars when dropping the weight after completing the rep
Meh. Did an overwarmup last week with 500 and that was way smoother than last night . Honestly 485x2 is almost tougher than 515. Anyway, I'm gonna have to get it together if I'm gonna have a shot at a PR this meet. 562 is competition PR.That 515 doe 8)
Thank you much, sir - they kind of pale in comparison to the volume you've been laying down on the Pak Man's routine, but it had me sweating lolNice pair of workouts Hyde... strong.
I think you are the first to try it with milk, good to know.Also, not that I expected it to, but ErgoNine doesn't mix so well with milk. Add a lil water though, and it's like Blueberry Cream.....
Seems like it. Pills can do a lot of powerful things lolI think you are the first to try it with milk, good to know.
Sorry to hear about that crazy day brother, she feeling any better?
I hadn't thought about milk, good to know thoughSeems like it. Pills can do a lot of powerful things lol As for the E9, it's extremely water soluable, but it just kind of sits atop the milk. Tasted pretty good though once I added some water to carry it.
