Not until one of the following: I am a lean 200+ pound 6"0’ lifter (I hope I get that tall), a 315X20 close stance squat, or accused of being bear that was shaved and taught to deadlift ;).

Brown, assuming my overhead press has grown stronger at all from getting my tricep strength up I’ll probably win :)… Or at least not have my ass kicked by the heavier guys.

I really wasn’t feeling it today for deadlifts, the bar felt freaking slick and I probably waited too long to go mixed grip. I at least did it with better form, and a happier back this time. Next week I’ll be doing 285X3 or 290X3 for pause squats, and 205X10 or 205X11 for the first set of front squats.

My shoulders have also been acting up yesterday/today but I think they are a tiny bit better than yesterday. Hopefully they will have made a somewhat good recovery by Sunday, if not I’ll have to take it easy on my shoulders.

Broomsticks. Do it.

I can’t agree more bird; I did some dislocations with a band yesterday and my shoulders went from crap to 100% in minutes

DSSG I feel like your pressing strength will explode in the next few years. Especially if you’re getting taller faster it’s hard to fill out your frame. I had a growth spurt pretty late in high school with took me to the 6 2 or 6 3 I’m at now. I finally got somewhat thick and then my body stretched again. brb walking awkwardly because your limbs grew tons in the past few months

I haven’t been updating since I just got back from a vacation. Today’s high bar squatting was terrible, I really didn’t have anything left after my first set both physically and mentally. I however “got the sand out” and attacked the assistance/accessory work hard, and the DE work was good.

I haven’t hit a huge growth spurt in awhile, so it is somewhat easier to fill out my frame. I might of gotten taller since the last time I got my height checked though.

@ Birdy:
Thanks, I’ll do that. My shoulders have been getting better, I must of accidentally pissed off my shoulders trying to do ultra wide grip dead hang pull ups (don’t even do it, it puts too much stress on your shoulders) . I forgot to post these replies since I was up late last night for training/dinner, and accidentally went to sleep before I got my last meal in (woke up pissed off, and ate it then went back to sleep).

Alright training session. I should of tried 290 instead of 295, but got a bit greed from how easy 285 was. I also should of kept the safety bars (or whatever you call them) at the same setting, instead of keeping it close so I don’t have to worry about going too deep.

Next week is wide stance good mornings up to a max five, and snatch grip deadlifts as assistance work.

5X1200 feet sprints

These were rough. I think I might of blacked out and spewed lactic acid everywhere when I was finished.

Lol. I dont think you can spew lactic acid.

Good on you for pushing yourself that hard.

Great training session, I got a nice big PR today on the ME lift of the day. The shoulder tri sets were nice, my shoulders felt great by the time I got to the over head press. I’ll be keeping it in for another few weeks and trying to get more quality reps wherever I can.

Wow, ultra wide sumo deadlifts are fucking hard. They murdered my glutes (max/med/min) and adductors. These will definitely be a staple on DE day (alternated with pause squat varieties and 1-1/4 squat varieties) until I don’t suck horribly at them.

I feel as though I could of done a lot more snatch grip deadlifts if my grip wasn’t completely murdered. The single leg work was nice for training my legs without my back/grip being the limiting factor (however they obviously won’t be a massive part of my training, just secondary work on ME days).

500X10 sprints

Very sore and stiff today. The left section of my hip is also pissed off.
