Notes
Good day felt strong today all day. Making good progress on Incline think I'm going to pick up a slingshot of my own for some overload on it seems to work good for me

Pullovers I read that some people think they are pointless but I like them so I brought them back

Thats it, thanks for reading u guys are great.

No DMax, you're great big dawg

Nice session there. My buddy that lifts bodybuilding style loves pullovers.

Let's not act like we never kissed our biceps after a sick pump and said "this is what ****ing happens here" as we walk out the gym in a flexed position.

Or flared our lats at a woman... or man. Or gone through a bathroom posing routine to the theme of Excalibur.
 
I always used to rock beaters in the gym.. just to look big.. even though for most of my life it was just me myself and my triceps lol.

I hate wearing tanks in the gym. The bro segment of today's fitness culture sucks. But damn do I look good when I do! Lol
 
Yeah it does suck, different strokes for different folks I guess. Happy I got away from those bro days haha.
 
Just smashed my first bag of quest chip (sour cream and cheddar) pretty tasty they don't break down in the mouth quite the same but the first bit is spot on if u ask me
 
So I've taken that Na-RALA 3 times with a off diet meal I think it makes me hungrier can't stop eat wtf must be working?
 
Skip the gym this week been feeling run down trying to do everything + this is my 10th day in a row of 10hrs days sounds like it's going to be at least 14 days

On the plus side woke up weighting 210 as soon as I can maintain 207 I'm done with this cut

You'll hate yourself going back down! 220 fo lyfe!!¡¡

Lol yes I will. I just don't forsee myself being able to recomp very well at 220 (which I'll need to do eventually). I work best in mini cuts and bulks.

Who knows I may just YOLO myself up to 242 slowly
 
I'm hoping it will help me be more like u. Sean a leaner more muscular less fat 220 with a 600 lbs squat and deadlift
 
So yesterday I had what u may call my first bro problem lol went to get a pair of flannel lined jeans for work and had to get 38 cause my thighs were to big for 34s stupid but cool problem to have

Haha nice I never had to try on jeans before I started 5/3/1. A year of heavy squats later and I have a whole new denim collection lol.
 
So after a delicious dinner 16oz prime rib mash potatoes and cheesy broccoli soup
The wife and I went to see TSO (trans-Siberian orchestra) and let me tell you it was amazing never hear such great guitar playing if u have a chance I suggest you try and go
 
Ordered my blue slingshot shot and knee sleeves this morning I'm sure my wife will be pissed seeing how I just ordered 1000 bucks in front end parts for the Ford too
 
Just tell her you coulda been spending it on whore's and meth, so shut your damn mouth. That will go over well. Trust me.
 
Day 13 in a row of 10hrs which turned into 12 in 30 degree weather 300 feet up on the reactor tomorrow is going to be a 12 day to then day off so I can get a tooth pulled hopefully I can lift Tuesday and I'll have my new slingshot knee sleeves
 
You're the man D max don't know how you do it.
 
He's quite the beast!!!
 
So he totaled just over 2400 I've been told the the judging was super strick and that some many people bombed they had to combine his 2 flights into one
 
So this passed shutdown of climbing up and down the stairs and ladders day in and day out has shown me the my endurance seems to be lacking a bit anyone got some thoughts on what I should do to bring it up

Just condition, man. My conditioning is really hard to maintain as heavy as I am and as much as I neglect to condition. I've been trying to get more iron in my diet too, I had a blood analysis done that showed I had some red blood cells that weren't carrying oxygen. Not something I'd go into blind, but something to look into as well.
 
13 ten hour days in a row would be rough man. I sometimes do 7-8 12s in a row and feel dead after, shyt sometimes the 4th one is rough haha. and as far as endurance goes, theres different kinds. its hard to condition to climb without climbing I think. I love prowler work now that I have one to work with, but I don't know if that would carry over to going up stairs and stuff man. to help endurance I would think running miles or biking would help, neither one of those helps with powerlifting, but endurance and powerlifting are on opposite ends of the spectrum.
 
Well good news and bad news

First the bad
Got laid off today who knows when I'll be back I know the next Pre outage for BP starts in February

Now the good
Got my package with my knees sleeves and slingshot today going to give them go tomorrow. also I can commit to my training and get back to working with the guys which was all I really thought about this whole turnaround lol

Edit:glad I was able to slip that kettlebell strap in before I got the axe
