Not many things test a person like a high rep all out squat set like that. Nice work man
Not right now, but I'm keeping an eye on some local ones. A buddy of mine is the promoter for Static Monsters in Houston on Oct. 26th, and I might try to jump in on that for shits and giggles.I know you mentioned no PL meets planned just yet, but are comps of any kind like Strongman, etc on ya schedule?
That 20RM squat sucks major ass, and I don't even have anyone to blame for it but myself because I'm the one who planned this **** out!Not many things test a person like a high rep all out squat set like that. Nice work man
Things feel like they're moving along really well right now. Fall semester starts on the 19th, so we'll see how that affects my ability to train and recover, but I'm hopeful that I can maintain my current training schedule.Been steady mobbin’, Jim
I’ll have to check that outThey released Westside Vs the World on Netflix
Just watched it for the second time. They did a poor job with the chronology, as the way it’s presented keeps jumping back and forth to different eras of the gym, and the other major flaw is a lack of context in some situations, but otherwise it’s really well done. Great shots and interviews, never feels slow and pretty exciting.I’ll have to check that out
Yeah, I thought that the first time I watched it. Very pulp fiction-esque.Just watched it for the second time.

When they were talking about Dimmel’s heart exploding, my wife openly gasped next to me on the couchYeah, I thought that the first time I watched it. Very pulp fiction-esque.
Yeah, I finally got around to watching it this Saturday because it was up on Netflix.They released Westside Vs the World on Netflix
I'm not sure on weight. Hoping to see the little pouch of fat on the lower stomach go away and lose the love handles before we turn it around, but I'm probably not going to keep it going too much longer either way.Much leaner based on pics, no questions there. Abs are saying peekaboo! Traps looking higher too. How low do you intend to go before starting to add in calories again?
Surprisingly, the pecs seemed to get the worst of it!Thats a good amount of work to get done in 45 minutes and looks like itd have your tris feeling jooocy.
Stay the course, Jim! Consistency and effort towards the major things is the key - don’t get bogged down in the minutiae!
I didn't type that well, I had meant to say dropping intensity across the board just for the week as a deload.You got this, just drop your shoulder and power on through!
I'll start adding in more RD work each session. I usually do a good job of working them in, but I haven't over the past couple of months.Looking good, defintiely leaner, no love handles now just obliques.
I did want to recommend you start stretching the chest more and really focusing on rear delt work. You have a bit of upper cross syndrome/rounded shoulders which has led me to some shoulder issues. Might want to get that under control before you get to my age and it causes issues.
I’m assuming these are what I saw on Wenning’s IG yesterday or the day before. He put a v bar on a pull up bar and was doing pullups with the frontal plane of his body perpendicular to the bar, alternating which side of the bar his head went to with each rep. I was gonna give em a go on my next pullup day too.Rocky pull-ups?
Yep, that's them. I liked them a lot.I’m assuming these are what I saw on Wenning’s IG yesterday or the day before.

Nice work mate, you are really hardening up.Saturday's progress pictures.
Bodyweight was 167.4 at that week's weigh-in.

Even my untrained eye can see a difference here.
Dietary changes were relatively small calorie-wise, but I split my 3rd meal to add a 4th meal since I will be awake for more hours each day due to classes. In total, it was a drop of ~20g carbs and ~10g protein.
Current:
Meal 1: 1 egg, 3 egg white, minimal salsa, 1 packet instant oatmeal in water
Meal 2: 2oz pasta, 4oz 93/7 beef, 1 serving pasta sauce
Meal 3: 1/4cup Jasmine Rice, 6oz chicken, half serving curry sauce, peppers+onion
Meal 4: 1/2cup cauliflower rice, 1/2 cup broccoli, 8oz tilapia filets
Post-WO: 12oz skim milk, 2 scoops protein
So yeah, it's a ton of fun.
Supps are the same at the moment. Thinking about adding in some Arimistane and L-Dopa from my supplement cabinet this week.
Heading to bed, planning to hit the legs before class in the AM.
Oh yeah those aren’t too bad, kinda fun. Been a long time since I bothered with that - usually just getting them in is the challenge!I’m assuming these are what I saw on Wenning’s IG yesterday or the day before.

This is probably the most successful cut I've ever done, to be honest.You definitely have not lost any muscle during this phase, got to love muscle memory. Looking great Jim!
