Nice work, soldog. Unfortunately, given my form, I am not allowed to comment on the form of others. I will say that you made it look easy, though.
Did you break into the gym during off hours? No one else in sight!

Underutilized company gym - There was one other guy there when I arrived and he left during my warm-up. Which was good because cameras are verboten on the premises. I must say today felt easier than I anticipated.
Solid sets, dog. Lookin’ good.

Thanks DCA - you’re charming as always…
Dog,
You are one squattin’ lumberjack, and you’re okay! I have a bad case of gym envy.

Thanks math - but you have the rockin’ home setup that I envy. It’s a 40 minute drive to get my the company gym, so I only use it on squat days for the cage. My piddlin’ home setup is just too rickety to trust with weights over 225#
No deload 'cause I had that week off in the middle of my 5-3-1 week.

Thanks mcl - almost didn’t go for that last one, glad I did…
Great set! And great work! I love watching someone push through that last rep.
Also, props on the chinups/pullups. If there was ever an exercise that was my nemesis (yes, even moreso than squats) it are those.

Thanks LS - a little more than a year ago I couldn’t do any pullups so just stick with it, big guy, and keep working them…

That makes them even more impressive! Great work!
I think the best thing I can do to help mine is quit gaining weight. I am up 10-12# since starting heavy. I really need to eat cleaner…
God I hate you guys who can gain weight just reading a story about a conversation about someone looking at pictures of food…

Trade you!
Rather, I’ll trade you the ability to gain fat just by being in the same galactic cluster as food, for the ability to actually gain LBM.

Love the vids, dog. Squats and mp really coming along. Course now that you’ve started buying better equipment you’ll never be satisfied. Just one more piece.

Thanks hel! I’m still waiting on the power rack, it’s hard to justify when I can go to the company gym.
you need to shop on DCA’s craigs list to get the good stuff cheap…
