Dmax's pursuit for power & performance

Notes
Gut is making a return pretty sure a lot of it is bloat but it's still unacceptable so strict diet till Christmas

Pretty good BB day hacks were at parallel from what I could see no clue what the sled weights got to be at least 30#

A lot of hamstring volume it's a lagging body part

Got to love 465 quarter squatters with wraps thought he was going to snap a quad

Lost may balance a couple time on split squat glad I was in a rack lol

As for belt think I'm going with bobs belts again I love my green one and I'm going to customize it a bit

That's it thanks for reading

Nice work man.
 
So quick update
Yesterday went well meet lasted 9 to 630-7

Out of 6 people who trained with us / friend s no one bomb out

The guy I was mainly handling hit 800 Sq
520 bench and 695 dead geared

Leah did good 440 Sq 310 bench and 395 dead geared and is now qualified for the Arnold in 2 weight classes lol

I am beat to **** being a handler is stressful trying to organize warmups load plates keep track of flights going to get food by the end I was dreading my 3 hr drive home but seeing my friends succeed was well worth it

Hips are toast from standing all day too but need to hit leg tomorrow
 
Being a handler is extremely hard and so rewarding. I like handling as much or more than lifting. I've handled 4 and 2 in shirts in one day. Can't imagine your day with that many equipped full power.

Prefer lifting way more myself. But handling is a different experience for sure.

Any combo of insulin release and aminos present in the blood periworkout will be beneficial. People get super jazzed about the specifics but it seems that as long as you can create that environment around that time you'll be set.

Still can't loosen my shoulders up I tried hanging every day at work doesn't help and the mace swings didn't do jack for me

I do love me some pizza especially since it was a Philly cheese steak Pizza but I'm looking forward to getting back to my diet other then that very breif sense of joy I get from eating it at the time it's done nothing for me performance wise and all it does is leave me feeling ****ty about myself after
 
Always impressed with your volume dude. Eating right sucks, around the holidays it's impossible for me. That's why it's hypertrophy time lol.
