That's all Chinese to me...
Going to be taking Body Octane the next two days instead of Gameday. I was putting up my vitamins and noticed two sample baggies of it that we're caramelizing. I diluted them and will be trying the citrus tomorrow and SM Tuesday. I assume it's two servings each, but who knows.
I think it's French for "of or from the load"
Awesome job on the PR's! The knuckles to toes on the stiff deads I think are fine. A lot of guys that don't have a platform use a lot of smaller weights just so they can go lower and get a better stretch.

-My Romanian Deads were knuckles-to-toes. We have a platform with a BB rack that I use for this. IS THIS TOO LOW? Also, I really need to work on grip.y grip gives out before I fatigue.

-Squats felt like azz. Grr. I was wanting to get some high reps on 285 today...

Deficit deadz are great on a box or stacked 45s. Haven't done em in a while myself but it sounds like they're working for you. Remember there's hardly ever a "right or wrong" way, excluding maintaining form to mitigate injury while working the target site. Everything is pretty much individual. If you feel it then do it.
I suggest straps as a last effort utility. High reps will blast grip fast on anyone though so don't feel bad. Get some chalk to aid in grip strength. I never recommend grip exercises because you should be getting enough using barbells anyway, but if you like to do forearm curls or whatever that's on you...

I was going to go much heavier and more sets on rack pulls, but my gloves are back home in Alabama and my hands are tore up!
Overall great workout. Had a couple PR's.
You guys are just nailing your workouts! Deficit deads are awesome, I agree!
I'm going in fasted, but with Nolvadren XT tomorrow. The shake has done nothing for me so far, so I'm going back to my comfort zone. Also, my vaca belling is large. Lol
You going IF? I am debating it so I can try to lean bulk this next few weeks, maybe then I can just continue into another bulk rather than cut.

Notes
Well, I wanted to improve my grip and forearm strength, and that's pretty much the only muscle that got a pump.Felt like a wasted day, but I guess I needed the work anyway.
Surprisingly, my right wrist is stronger even though I broke it pretty good a few years ago. This is also why my weaker (left) arm is 1/4" larger than my right.
Your vacation seems to have taken you down a notch mentally. It is always hard coming back to reality and work after being off and having fun.
Get your mind right, it is all in your head!
Nice workout too, bro. You killed it
I bet they were! You killed it! Nice 1RM's!
Awesome job Drew! Numbers always on the increase..

You should be really proud of your progress dude!
Thanks bro's, yeah, I can't complain as long as numbers are moving upward!
Like a weiner; onward and upward!

No PR's today, but I felt like it was a good workout. I need to remember to bring my straps!
Chalk!!!!
Is it the same as pool chalk?
Lol not quite but kinda. Magnesium carbonate. Cheap as fuk invaluable beyond belief. I will never DL or bench without it again
Bench too? Hmm
Keeps your hands where you put them
Just don't rub one out with chalk, rug burn got nothing on that.. I mean, I'm just saying...

I only have 2 more workouts in my awesome gym. Tomorrow morning and Friday morning, then we are hitting the road right after. Friday is back also, and I am laying it all out.
I tried to kick back and play light, but my body and mind are telling me HEAVY! So I am doing my best. My hips are finally letting me perform squats with some weight.

Your mind will always be ahead of your body in this regard...part of me still thinks I could run a 6 minute mile, but I have to remind myself that I am 34 and the 6 minute mile was half a lifetime ago!
Don't remember the weight you used to squat; be mindful of your situation now.
