Absolutely GREAT workout today. Felt awesome, I've had so much stamina in the gym lately. I dunno if its the V-12 or the fact that I've had more carbs lately but I was feelin awesome today. My triceps are shot, I didnt want to move after that drop set. Flat Bench felt solid today too. Definitely get 280 next time, If my friend touches it I'm gonna SLIT HIS THROAT, I dont care if it sits on my chest for an hour, hands off! Out to dinner with my bro for his birthday the big 1-8, I'll just get a steak or somethin.

I say ignore the guy... those people piss me off, and i just started driving. Also, may i add that although im 16 i drive better than 90% of the people on the road sheesh... yesterday i had to swirve into another lane cause a guy was on the left turn lane and decided he didnt want to turn! Anyways yea pedestrians are stupid - i see jaywalkers all the time and just want to hit them , but i dont.

Not bad man, at 255 x 3 you should get 280 damn soon, if you don't already have it which i bet you do. It's all about the triples. I never go any lighter anymore on my main lifts and my lifts are getting much better.

Thanks for the support guys, I really appreciate it.

Kung: Ya deadlifts are amazing, I'm absolutely in love with them right now. I really think that I have 435 in me, we'll see next time what I'm mad of. Definitely rip that **** hard next cycle.

Mike: Ya, he's a prick, but oh well, didnt see him around today so I'm sure thats all done with, atleast I hope it is.

Thanks Kung, the cals were a little too low and the carbs were a little on the low side for a low carb day. But to answer your question, I dont use straps when I dead, and honestly I've had zero problems with my grip right now it just doesnt slip one bit. I use a mixed grip though and that really seems to help (overhand, underhand)

Wow dude 435...im a big guy and 325 right now feels very heavy for me. Im doing it 6 reps though. Are you doing 435 for 1 rp max or are you doing it for reps? Just curious.

I dont even know how much I could deadlift once. I doubt its 435 at this point though. Its ok, Ill get there :.

Sounds like you are doing great buddy, keep goin, and watch that diet eh?

Firehawk: 435 would be for 1 rep. I dont think I have it in me for a double, but we'll see. If you're doing 335 x 6 then my guess is your max is over 400, you should try it, I never go over 5 reps and thats with lighter weight. Heavy singles are great at the end of your work sets, basically try to go for a new max each time.

Beef: Thanks bro, I'm definitely looking forward to my next dead session, absolutely love it. Im hoping to hit 500 within a couple of months, I think I can do it.

2 X 30 minutes

eh, wasnt sold on my form here today, but i'm new to it so it'll improve.

Class tough guy position: (slouched, lounge angle)

4 X 45 minutes

Real tough sets here, form was perfect, really managed to get some good rest.

Eating

Standard hand to mouth activity, followed by chewing and swallowing.

6 X 1,192! PR!

WOW, GREAT SETS! Absolutely amazing form, I'll definitely be doing this again tommorow!!!!!


Overall great rest day, really stayed focused and intense. I'm really looking forward to another one in a few days. Very impressed with myself, I guess the ol saying is right, practice DOES make perfect.
