Tried using a hook grip, I can see myself using it more. I just need to get my thumbs used to it.
First day trying out IF. Not too bad. Waited until 3ish to break the fast. Dealing with the hunger wasn’t too bad. I did notice that prior to and during the session I was feeling sluggish, may be due to having fasted. But I was more productive this morning not having to eat.
EDIT: Tomorrow I’ll break my fast at around noonish and see how that affects my afternoon lifting session.
Glad too see you are trying out IF, its really working for me at the moment. Gives me a tonne of extra time in the morning not having to prep food for the day and make breakfast. I would also recommend trying out fasted training, I felt sluggish if I did my lifting after I broke the fast but have had some incredible lifting sessions fasted. Just make sure if you are training fasted you take some BCAAs and maybe some caffeine pills if you have them.

I guess reading that you were giving it a shot made me want to haha. Glad to hear it’s working well for you. How is yours set up? In terms of the time you break your fast and when you train, etc. I’ll try lifting after breaking my fast for at least a week or two, then I may try training fasted. Cool to know that you were able to have good session while fasted.

Well it was supposed to be a deload, but I felt like I had a push press PR in me. Really stoked about getting 2 plates overhead.
2nd day of IF. Dealing with the hunger was no biggy, just lots of water and a piece of sugar free gum. Ended the fast at 2:30ish. Didn’t feel sluggish during the workout, taking some Power Drive probably helped that. Besides that can’t really tell the effects of Power Drive.
Woohoo! Push pressing 2 plates.
Awesome.
Are we going to get progress pics with the IF? 0:-)

Awesome indeed 
Well today’s only been the 2nd day of IF, but I probably should throw up some current pics to serve as ‘before’ pics.
Ok I wait patiently… =D
Gawd a 225 lb push press sounds hawt. Any idea where your strict press is at?

It felt hawt. Recently I hit an easy 185 strict press. I might have a pound or two left in the tank.

It feels hawt right now with ~95 degree weather and no A/C. >:( (kewl thing about PA is that we have cold ass winters AND hot ass summers :P)
Anywho, strong stuff with that strict press.
Sooper jelly of your overhead pressing mossles!
Btw regarding IF, this morning I looked leaner than normal despite eating like a mad man from 4-10pm the previous night.

Why the long face?
Are you going to have pics like those weight loss ads, where people look all sad because they didn’t take the product yet. Then in the after pics they’re wearing the same thing but dropped 100 lbs and 82 inches and all smiles?
Are you gonna do that, huh? =D

Pics were taken prior to feasting. No food = no smile.
Hahaha I think I may just do that. Wear the same thing and smack a giant smile on my face.
Yay! Cuz I love those ads.
Oh yeah, no food equals sad Nikki as well.
Ooh, nice walk-in closet.

Back/bis
Friday 6/10/11
DB row
8x70
8x90
8x110
8x130 (straps)
I should probably just drop the weight and go for more reps, more Kroc row-esque.
Cybex row machine (2 sec hold)
8x1pps
8x1pps+10
3x8x1pps+25
Meh, wasn’t feeling these. I’ll try out Meadows rows instead of these next week.
Wide grip pulldown (2 sec hold)
12x75
10x87.5
10x100
Biceps came into play a bit too much for my taste. Probably will up the weight and disregard the 2 sec hold so that I can get a better stretch.
Underhand pulldown
10x100
10x112.5
10x125
Felt a little better than the wide grip PDs.
Straight arm pulldown
10x6
10x8
8x10
8x8
10x6
10x5
20x4
Pumptacular. I <3 these.
Hammer curls
8x35
8x50
6x60 (+1 rep PR)
8x40
8x30
Right forearm was a little irritated, but after blood got pumped in there it was no biggie. The bis and forearms were rather pumped
EZ bar preacher curls
2x10xbar+20
8xbar+20
Pumptastic. Felt better to widen the grip.
Finished w/ some straight arm PDs: 20x8, 12x6
Fun session. Took a while to get into it, probably because I was really diggin’ the cybex machines.
Going for teh pumpz I see.
