Done lol. Was kinda tired today, wasn’t feeling accessory work for once.
Bench is making nice steady progress dude! 5/3/1 seems to be treating you well.
warrior costume was very cool 
spotting for bench without a cage is crazy! it’s asking for head injuries.
hope your thumb is feeling better.

Thanks frenchie!
Yeah, I didn’t think it was a very good idea either, but I was just a volunteer, so I didn’t feel I had much say in the matter.
Thumb is doing quite well, doesn’t really even ache anymore.

Thanks brah. Weight gain has stagnated a bit, sitting at about 196 as of today. Diet is the same as usual, 1.5lbs meat, .5 gals milk, 6 scoops protein, 2 bananas a day as the base, then snacks beyond that.

I also woke up at 196 today. I’ve been losing fat and gaining muscle visibly for the past 9 weeks or so but my weight has not shot up too much due to extra cardio in the past 4.
I like this thread 'cus we’re at a similar level in terms of weight and some of our working weights. Great PRs though… it’s good being this level because you really do hit sessions w/ “nearly all prs” when you eat enough and recover for it. CGBP/Hammers looking good. I’ve got to catch you on both… with your hammers, does grip become an issue at all or do you have your hand against the “plates” on the dumbbell once your grip in the center gives out? (if you know what I mean)

Solid man. Yeah, I always like following hte logs of people at similiar levels. For the hammers, I DO put my thumbs against the plates, just so I can focus on the lift and not gripping the db.

Then I cut the bicep work short to get some time to hit abs, as I haven’t done them in forever.
Superset of
Captains chair leg raisesx12
Blast Strap Falloutx6
(x3 total)
Abs literally cramped when I went to pick up my logbook at one point…need to get back on my ab work lol.
@Blaze: Well obviously, when you do your hammers, your cheating then 
But seriously, I only do it when I have to to extend the set… mainly because I view the grip side as part of the forearm building your trying to improve with hammers. Chest session looks pretty solid, decent PR decent DB pressing weights back to back is cool. May have to try this “cross-body incline press” when I stagnate for long enough on the HS inc.
that bench is improving Blaze
Thanks Jake and Frenchie!
Have been offline for over a week.
Had a couple workouts over the time since i posted.
Turned 21 on the 20th, had a good thanksgiving.
Hitting it hard again starting today. Worked out with a friend who does lots of supersets and the like today, so I tried his workout just to get some variety.

Annnd that’s it. Tried to do straight legs and my quads were cramping. Got a big compression headache too. Need to get used to doing higher reps on squats again. Hams and quads are crazy tight still.
Did some abs after,
Straight leg raisesx15/blast strap falloutsx6

abs died.
Must’ve been all that blacked out posing.
