335lb. Gonna go for 350lb next week.
Just me having some more fun with complexes (I posted a Snatch Complex a few pages ago). I’ll post back when I hit 225. I think that’ll be somewhat impressive, especially on the Push Press part. I also hit 215 on Overhead Pin Press. Sitting at about 225-230.
I am as strong as I’ve ever been on the mat, really dominating as far as strength is concerned. Now I just need to up my conditioning and work on my sweeps for my next BJJ tournament.
Due to lack of a proper camera at the moment, I’m uploading a video from my phone. This means I don’t get to edit out my awkward faces/grunting noises ![]()
3 weeks into a cut, around the 210lbs mark

Thanks, bro. I still need to get those last 5lbs though!

A more complete full body shot. My quads are looking a lot better.

Considering what I seem to remember of your legs, that’s a great compliment.
And yes, I’ve been letting the beard grow out. Increases test by 500%.
I always realize how badly I need a tan when I post these pics though…

I think he’s trying to sell you to me with a dowry of farm animals because he knows I want a man with epic beard, thick thighs and a ranch. well played Derek, well played.

I feel you…I’m unbelievably white, and I can’t hold a tan…just burn and peel, guess it’s the Swedish side.
Great physique man.
DD, you look strong. Impressive legs for sure. You said that you’ve seen great progress primarily with front squats as of late?

I’m essentially doing 531 “more squatting” with front squats.
So front squats 5 days a week. No other real quad work other than sumo deads.

LOL. I’d have to check with my wife.
It’s good to know there are thigh women out there.
