It's one if the house faves. And pretty healthy. 130 cals between the slice of cheese and cornbread, the rest is all good protein and fiber. Used good lean beef.

I still eating about 8 oz of chicken everyday, but had to add a different protein source. So I cook 2 lbs. of ground turkey every week and eat that with brown rice. It's kind of bland so I use Blazin' Burger seasoning to flavor it up. And it's surprisingly cheaper than beef and healthier. At Costco this comes in 4's for $17. Pretty much a months worth.

Caught up in here and subbed! You are strong brother! Glad everyone was ok in the crash, hope your family heals and glad to see another dedicated lifter on AM.
 
Today was my last workout until Sunday. Going out to the Dunes to ride sand rails tomorrow morning until Saturday. Gotta be back for the Cardinals Wild Card Game on Sat. though. Will be pretty fun though with my 2 sons and my Dad's new sand-rail. I'll throw some pics up here.

88 pounds? They probably barely have you covered on curls!

Big lift D! Hell of a PR. Ground turkey is a serious topic of debate between my gf and I as I want the leaner meat but she is convinced its gross just in concept an would rather have beef.... Women.

Like I said season it up with burger seasoning and it's ALMOST as good.
 
My only suggestion having watched your lift a few more times, try using more hip drive from the start. Your back rounded out early, so I think that's what slowed you down a bit. Try using focusing on your hip drive with some lower weights to get the technique down and that should help. Still a great lift though man.

I thought the same thing watching this. I focus on exploding from the hips first, but I definitely do round out early.
 
What helps me is to think of the deadlift as pulling the weight back instead of pulling the weight up
 
It scares me when my form breaks down if that starts to happen I drop the weight... I don't want another setback

After watching this though, I'm going to get a belt before I go heavy again. Think that will help me maintain form as well as support.

My exact approach also. I'm sure I could lift more weight, but if my legs shoot up early I stop. Too many dumb injuries.

I watched it one more time thinking about your neck position, which I didn't pay attention to at first. You look up at first, then you look down as soon as your back rounds. Try the ol' "pick a spot on the wall" trick. It should he'll stabilize your erectors during your pull.
 
YES! picking a spot on the wall just above looking straight forward kicks ASS for squats and deads I learned, I used to look up the whole time and read something about doing toomuch being a bad thing and once I started picking a spot just above parallel I started having way better lifts, P/S I want some chili bro!! its like 5 degree's here and that sounds AMAZING! also good work man, love reading your log dma your awesome, (my hero) holding it down for us bald white guys haha ;)

Interesting. Never heard this. But that's beautiful advice. Will definitely do it.

This place is awesome though. Haven't been out here riding since I was a kid on my 3-wheeler.

So it was sweet to get back in the gym this morning. One thing about being out in the desert riding for 3 days is you're definitely not going to over eat!! Under eat if anything. It sure was a blast and glad to get back into something I did growing up and able to get my boys into it as well.

So hit shoulders this morning and upped the ArA dose to 1.5 grams PWO.

Standing OHP Behind Neck:
Warm up w/ bar then 65lbs.
95 x 12
95 x 12
145 x 5
145 x 4
145 x 3
95 x 8

DB Reverse Flys:
25's x 12
25's x 12
25's x 12
25's x 10

Front Raises w/ 45lb. Plate x 4 sets: 10,10,10,8

Single Arm DB Side Raises w/ 20lb. DB x 3 sets x 10 reps each side non-stop.

Smith Upright Rows:
95 x 12
115 x 10
125 x 8
125 x 8

Trap Bar Shrugs:
115 on each side x 3 sets w/ 2 second squeeze

Tweaked something under my left shoulder blade doing the shrugs so I stopped. Had a couple other exercises in mind, but couldn't push through it if I tried. Have tweaked this same spot doing upright rows in the past and it was gone the next day. Hope that is the case this time as well.

Think I'm going to add some volume workouts starting tomorrow. Been on mostly strength for a couple months now. Time to change it up.
 
Time with your boys = priceless. Great pics!

Respectfully, the behind the neck OHP and upright rows are injury prone lifts. Check this out or Google the why:
