Gotta close them out. Hawks just relied on their top line too much and now it's hurting them.

I was actually going to comment on the orange and blue but thought no way you were a Gator. If I knew in the past, I forgot.

Dude is an idiot. Had a helluva career start there and blew it.

Ya haha was wondering if you would question it. Not a gator just thought the shirt was hilarious, it says National Communists Against Athletes on the back with the sickle as the C ala Brian Bosworth.

They refuted it was LGD but I don't know. Why would reporters pick up on it so quickly for an unknown to the general public substance like that. Then they said it was some bullsht test booster from GNC where the only useful ingredient was Boron.

I won't even wear my orange FINAFLEX shirt anymore because my belt and wraps are blue. lol

Nah, he knew what he was doing. Buddy of mine is a booster and at the time he told me the ingredient he popped for. Was a SARM if I remember correctly.

NCAA teams have policies on this stuff. You take NOTHING without approval. Hell, caffeine is on the list of banned substances.

Haha that's dedication! I like it.

Ya of course he knew and most guys on the team are probably doing close to the same thing. I had some buddies on the teams in Colorado and they all knew what they could and couldn't take, and most of the time when the tests were coming. Must have gotten popped by NCAA or someone outside of the program's reach. I saw they had just come up with an LGD test in June of 2015 so they must have implemented it quick

Switching to my powerlifting gym and being forced to train low bar have made a huge difference. I have spotters with the training crew every time I wanna push it and they help me with weight selection. Has been extremely positive for me

Db flat
65x20,15,15

Rows, flies, tris and bis. Nursing my shoulder today. Felt good until I racked 65 onto the top rack one armed. Stupid

Ya man I'm so stoked I've gotten to go to two playoff games. Hoping for more rounds haha

Not really. StubHub has a decent amount of tickets all the way up game time. Kind of a tough sell with the Warriors killing it right up the peninsula.

Your training has really been coming on strong of late. Congrats on that and the resultant PRs and find a way to bottle it up! What do you think has contributed to it?

I gotta think it is the environment. Being able to push myself and have people I trust spotting is huge. Plus it's a good head space in there with like minded people.

That and I think a bit of programming. Lots of speed reps for form and really committing to low bar has helped my numbers.
 
Way to go Justin. Impressive squats. They moved fast.
