this is sick
You're looking great too, congrats on the leanness, you have really worked with discipline to get there, its been an impressive ride watching you go from 270 (ish??) to where you...
First photo is me after a big plate of eggs around noon, and topless is tonight after a cheat meal with rice, pasta and potatoes.
I have good vascularity all the time now, but boy it’s crazy what...
The gym looks and sounds awesome. Yeah I can see your vascularity, and your abs. Even after dropping the weight, you didn’t lose any muscle, you still look thick.💪
Hope the wife hits her lift and...

Whew, this was hard but not insane to complete. Woke up a few minutes late so I...
This was a good week. Next week the supplemental sets can be BBB or BBS, thinking I’ll do BBB for squats and bench and BBS for press and deadlift. Mixing it up will be fun I think and give me some...
I need to jump on that bandwagon, I believe you are officially lighter than me now or very very close. I've been averaging 206 lately but did not bother checking this morning cause I figured it...
Back from the trip. Only 2 legit cheat meals including desserts (just ice cream though). Otherwise, lots of double grilled chicken with Siracha subs from subway. I likely went over maintenance...
right on! does that shift the mentality a bit to be more intentional/focused?
I always have 7% in my head now days from what you and Hyde have said and it sure seems like about the right number...
Got the work in still! Yeah it takes me a fair amount of warmups with bands doing face pulls and I do lat raises and front raises and some overhead tricep extensions and all to get everything...

Good way to get practice is maybe 10 sets or so for 1 rep with maybe some where between opener and 1st attempt. Typically my jumps at meets will be 5 to 7% depending on the day I am having. From...
You will want to get an opener on the books but I wouldn’t sweat obsessing what your 2nd and 3rd lifts are going to be . Do what feels right when you are there. Adrenaline is going to add...
Thanks, yeah I guess the thing I'm still trying to wrap my head around is coming into this prep - being "cold" / unpracticed on a lot of these lifts I hit 205x1 on squats and 195x1 on bench. But...
Six more posts in and concreted so far today. That puts me at about 30. I figure there's around 105 total. Aiming for an avg of six per weekend to be done by new years.
I'm gonna go dig some...
Nice work this week. Love the cat and dog pictures in here. I’m a big cat fan (particularly rare exotic ones) but so dang allergic I can’t have one . Got a couple Pyrenees and a doodle thing which...
That’s some strong pulls…..370x12 is skrong.💪
Hope you and your wife, Booboo Kitty ****, have an awesome date. Be sure to tell her about the glute pump.😎
I think bench is my favorite lift outside of Oly but a big deadlift day hits different. It's magical.
Rushing home for a date with wife postWO, her support is unwavering [emoji1787][emoji1787]
