Lots of pulling! Nice.

Got my fingers crossed for them cavs.

You an IPA guy? I wish i was, the IPAs are always what have the deals at bars and restaurants.

And go bulls.
 
Thanks man. I like IPAs myself, I try different stuff here and there though. It's Christmas ale season, I love that stuff. The Bulls keep the east interesting, cavs will knock em off again come May though..

Last nights workout. Weight was 214 in the am. Got a little CO gas at work, pretty sure that took a lot out of me. Everything was just getting tight towards the end. Incline DB work felt pretty good and strong. Pec doesn't hurt this morning. Next cycle probably just start some light bench.
 
Blah, post 90's NBA.

Strong work in here Capo!
 
Ehh I was born in the 90s lol so it's the only life I know. Would of been nice to watch the celtics-lakers match-ups of the 80s and the Jordan days though.

Pretty good lift today, got shafted with a ****ty bar so kept it light and belt less, shortened up my rest times quite a bit too. Deficit deads were pretty much done as a cluster. Rower was tough, a touch over 2:00/500m, happy with it. Yesterday I was 215 in the am, bought some protein powder and bars to get over 200 g a day. My diet sucks.
 
What did you do for ankle mobility (I feel like you've answered this before but I can't remember).

Notes
Just kept going and going today. Ran out of my pre workout the other day so used a sample packet of ON platinum pre, which I didn't know had 2 servings in it. So I was buzzing pretty good lol. The incline benching felt real good, don't feel like I really lost too much strength. I credit that too hitting the triceps and delts hard. Pump work for everything really and a couple PRs on rows. Great lift. 215 this am.
 
What pre-workout do you normally use/like?
 
Sean needs to get you a sample of WR. My last two tubs of preworkout have been that and i don't see any reason to stop. Energy w/ caffeine and dicaffeine malate, pumps w/ citrulline, hydromax and agmatine, performance boost w/ TMG (betaine), focus with hup A.
 
WR? But I respond best to good doses of beta alanine. And can't really handle huge amounts of caffeine. But I'll try anything once lol.

Notes
Getting some squat reps in. I think that's something that's missing from my training. Hitting 5/3/1 rep sets are great but I need to build my volume up. I think I'm going to get off of 5/3/1 and start doing some volume work based off of prilepin's chart. That's for every lift. Go within that 55-65 percent range.

White Rapids by controlled labs. It doesn't crack you out whatsoever. I hate the cracked out feeling too. And yeah..there isnt any BA so i just add in my own. I bought a lot of it in bulk a while back.
 
I like the training plan too. Or you could just try the boring but big 5/3/1 template. Not much variation but it'll bump your volume up a bit.
 
Thanks man. Yeah BBB is killer. I just want something a little different I haven't responded very well to 5/3/1 this go around.
 
That's why I like the 531 SVR, AMRAPing the top set of the lifts. Volume sucks in a positive way
