Greg, what classes are you taking? And do you work at the moment?
Those eyes really burn into the soul, don’t think that image will be leaving my head for a while…
today sounds brutal…
your mustache will get you through.
Just eat a lot between sessions and you’ll be fine, and don’t over do the DL accessory work, save it for after your bench session (if you’ve got time). Glad the disaster was avoided, and bravo on the cardio ;)
Your stache is so beautiful
Lol, 18’s son (Nahhh not really, like 17.8675309).
Seems like quality of nutrients makes a difference then. I won’t be able to afford the meat everyday lol, but i should be able to pull off eggs/butter/etc…the longer lasting/cheaper stuff. Poor students these days, I’m tellin ya.
Harry- Im taking a history course and 4 fire protection courses this semester. I’m not working ATM, the GI bill pays me a housing allowance so thats my paycheck these days.
phlegms- hahaha those are my crazy eyes!
MiM- I hope you’re right 
So far todays off to a good start. lets keep this thing going.
Ink- I took it a tiny bit easy this morning but still pushed it. Gonna eat A LOT today. Good idea brah
k-man- daaaaaaang son! on the come up huh? Yeah I really do think the quality of the food really matters. I have been eating less protein/more carbs/fat than I was before and I’m getting leaner and stronger… who woulda thought?
Ok so the workout this morning went pretty good. Weighed in at 212. Foam rolled at 5:30 this morning before heading to the gym and it was HORRIBLE! ahhh so many spots that just killed. Ive been neglecting the soft tissue work lately… not anymore cut all my assistance work down to 4 x 10 to save time and a little energy for this afternoon.
10 minute incline walking to warm up
531 DLs
300 x 1
340 x 1
380 x 7 (vid below. These felt good but the bar is very knurled and it was killing my hands)
GHR’s:
4 x 10
BB Lunges:
135 x 4 x 10
Preacher Curl w/ EZ Bar: Wide grip
35’s x 10
45’s x 10, 6 drop to 35 x 4
35 x 9
no abs cause they are still sore from last time lol… I have such weak abs.
good workout. Ready to get some bench later!
Post got eaten - greg what is “1 week”? Do you mean week 3 of 5/3/1 where it’s 5 reps on first set, 3 on the second, and 1+ on the third? That’s the only week with a set of 1 rep prescribed… unless you’re doing a version I’m not aware of?
Anyways, sick work on the 380x7 DLs… I have some catching up to do
Pulls looked good, and you coulg have gotten 8, so I’ll say I was accurate in my estimation. My hands still hurt from my pulls the other night with my new bar. I’m such a vag sometimes, LOL
How much weight do the handle bars add to your pulls?
Solid deadlifting duder, totes get on the foam rolling train. The difference between workouts I foam roll before and those I don’t is really night and day, especially squat days.
Nice pulling man. They all seemed pretty smooth. You def do a more controlled negative than I do. Maybe I’m just lazy haha. BB lunges? Death. I hate lunges in all forms.
Goddamn, your log is probably the most active per post of all. Your making it worthy of the input with the quality vids though <3 Awesome training and good pulling. DW about my total catching yours, as long as you keep getting stronger you should still be ahead of me even when I’ve put on 10-15lbs of bodyweight for sure!
Awesome food as always, I’m quite jelly
@blaze, gotta hate lunges! I’d still do them again if I thought they really hit harder then some other choices even though they are horrible, but I’m not sure I believe they do tbh…
scj- yeah i said “1 week” as in the 1 of 531. you better step up your game on the DL’s buddy. dont let me pull away
ink- you just know me so well. I coulda gotten 8 (maybe 9) if my hands werent destroyed by the bar lol. I’ll join you in that vag club
jams98- probably 50lbs I would guess?
phlegms- yeah i felt good during deads. I’m gonna roll more often and stop being a lazy wussy
blaze- Thanks brah, the reps were pretty smooth. I do a slower negative for a couple reasons: 1. To get a little more stimulation in during the negative & 2. Those plates are loud as shit and I DL in this little cove area of the gym and it echos like a mofo and everyone stares lol. u no lunge? so good for ya!
jake- my log is like white water rapids… its moving so fast that if you fall overboard you’ll get lost forever lol. Glad you guys like the vids and the food pics/write ups. I try to keep things interesting! more vids to come.
so the second workout of the day went well. I was feeling kinda sleepy but I drank half of a Spike Shooter and just went to do work.
531 Bench
225 x 1
250 x 1 (vid)
280 x 7 (vid. pause on the first rep then touch n go from there on out. Coulda probably got 8 if I had a spotter)
BW Dips:
5 x 10 (vid. way too easy. I need that dang dip belt to be working again)
DB Deadstop rows:
100 x 10, 10
110 x 10, 10, 10
V Handle Tricep Push Downs:
130 x 10
160 x 10
190 x 10 (stack)
160 x 10, 10
DB Laterals
30 x 10, 10
40 x 10, 10
30 x 10
and done! Felt pretty good for a double but my grip was shot for the DB rows and my back and hammies were tight. abs are STILL sore… what a big wuss! Long day, about to fire up the grill and dominate some food.
Dat Bench press…me gusta.
Nice benching! I should totally try deadstop rows. My uni gym DBs go up to 110s and when I got up to 27 reps for kroc rows (straps obv) I dropped them. Progression could be > deadstop > deadstop with a hold > fml no heavier dumbells

Then why are you only doing 1 rep on every set? Only the top set is 1 rep broseph! Cheater.
Phlegms- thanks homie
Jake- I like the deadstop rows. My gym has 120lb DBs but my grip/hands were shot by then so I stayed at the 110’s. I like to keep my form tight on rows. I like that outlined progression. I like to do a pause squeeze at the top but was smoked yesterday so I didn’t.
Scj- to answer your question… cause I’m dumb lol I’ve got re ebook but I only re looked through it on the first day and was going off of memory from then on out. What a dummy bird! I’ll get that fixed ASAP. Good looking out homie.
Ok so I am extremely sore today bi’s, tri’s and Lats are hurting this morning and I’m FRIGGIN tired! That double dipper yesterday really wore me out. Class, laundry, clean the house, squats, pack for my trip… It’s gonna be a long day
you should use straps for the db rows
and the vids just get better and better…
Nice work on that 280x7 brah. we are neck and neck on dat bench press. I think my top set next week is 285… let’s see if I can bang out 7.
rest of the workout looked good! Triceps so sex doing dips. and you have such a young face, it’s adorable. I bet you get carded a lot.
You seriously only scanned the book the first day? Dude, come on now! You probably should have done 5@225, 3@250, and AMRAP with 280. Friggin dummybird, haha.
Oh, and you look like Freddie Mercury when you did your lateral raises. The moustahce OWNZ!
