The December 885

[Inarius]

Give me slow, controlled, non-'karate,' pullups.

Not saying that isn't impressive, but that type of pullup doesn't count where I'm headed

lol Ill give it to him though at 275lbs

Nice DLs man.

Nice DLs man.

thanks, man. i'm feelin that for me, my DLs are my strongest lift of the three (squat, bench, dl)

i know the comp is still pretty far away, but i'm beginning to the think pullin 350 isn't out of my grasp

hahahaha that's really funny!

anyway -- i think the interviews went really really well, thanks. it was two 30 minute interviews testing different aspects of my technical knowledge, and thought about consulting (it was a consulting firm that i was interviewing with). They'll have an answer for me within two weeks when i'll have a month to decide whether or not i want the job.

nasty DOMS in the pectoral region today, tris are a little sore, but nothing compared to the pecs. gonna rest up the rest of today and then hit up some squats tomorrow.

[SilentBob187]

Sounds like a good lift to me. Enjoy the day off.

my diet this weekend has been absolutely terrible. due to travelling i didn't eat too much on friday, and saturday and sunday weren't much better. it'll be interesting to see how i weigh in when i wake up. keepin my fingers crossed for above 140!

[orbitron3000]

tipped the scales this morning at 144.2 lbs! I was happily surprised!

EDIT: didn't have to poo this morning when i got up so i'll weight myself again after that for a more "accurate" reading

[orbitron3000]

weighed in at 143.4 after the mid morning poo. still very shocked that its not lower...shocked, but happy

[orbitron3000]

squats tonight!

good work man..keep eating! LOTS AND LOTS OF PROTEIN!

d@mn straight, met! for the past few weeks, my diet during the week as been a protein shake and some bread for breakfast, various meats for lunch usually, and then another protein shake after the W/O, and then some other food for dinner. i def think it's been payin off for me.
