you fuckin DOMINATED!!!
awesome meet Greg. pure awesome. 
with or without that dead rat hangin off your face you look like a fuckin rapist
or used car salesman
What a STUD. It all makes sense now.
Shoulder workout looked pretty good too holmes.
Geniune bad ass. Cool pictures for sure, seems like you’ve had some experiences
Congrats on the meet, where did you find out about the meet?
Any plans on moving to the dark side and becoming all fat and gross like all the other powerlifters?
Bizzump. How’s lift/lifting going man?
Just saw the meet vid. Epic as hell. Great song, great singlet, and strong as work dude. Way to SFW!
Ink- it was pretty old school but I’m going to stick with it for a little while and see what happens. His philosophy is to shoot for 3x6. Once you can hit 3x6 you up the weight and start over until you can hit 3x6 again and then repeat. It definitely has a progression so we’ll see.
Scj- hahaha yeah. I’m doing a lot of stuff in the gym now that I haven’t done in forever. I think the mobility/pre-hab stuff has helped my shoulder a ton so I’m hitting a lot of stuff that I haven’t been able to hit in forevs cause of my injury. Pretty excited about that.
Frenchie- thanks a lot! It was so much fun. I appreciate your tips and that big pre meet checklist that you gave me a while back. Helped out tremendously.
Ct Rock- I <3 you too big guy.
Bug- lol @ stud comment. Shoulders were real sore afterwards. Must mean I was was doing it right?
Jake- I don’t know about “bad ass”… I’m just a poor college student now lol. I did have some great experiences though and I’m very appreciative of that time and the things I did/learned.
Jams98- Ink actually found me the meet for me. There’s a PL website (something like PL watch . Com… Or something) ummmm I don’t know about the turning all fat a shitty part (LOL) but I’m definitely going to do another meet some day.
Blaze- thanks for the bump homie. Hit the gym once in Tahoe and then had a really good session last night.
Wiggles- welcome to the log dude. I appreciate the kind words. Glad you liked the video… I had tons of fun making it.
So much stuff going on with life right now. Wedding season is in on like donkey kong right now! Got so much stuff done this past weekend… It was crazy. Tahoe was absolutely incredible! It actually snowed the two days before we got there so it was all white everywhere but sunny and still 60 outside. PERFECT! We met with the wedding planner, the hotel event coordinators, picked the spot for the rehearsal dinner and then had the tasting… OMFG!!! the food was out of control. Without a doubt the best wedding food I’ve ever had in my entire life and I’ve been to over a dozen weddings. I’m so pumped. I ate so much food at the tasting that I didn’t even eat dinner lolol
Hit hotel gym Saturday and did a little full body workout. Pretty legit gym for a hotel gym. I was absolutely gassed though! I was huffing and puffing while doing dumbbell curls and thinking “what the hell is wrong with me? I need to start upping my conditioning cause this is pathetic…” but then I remembered that the hotel is at 7,000 feet elevation lol
Got into the gym yesterday and did chest. Felt good.
Incline BB Bench:
Warm up sets
235 x 6, 5, 4 - I was happy with this considering I’ve done BB inclines once in the past 3 years and it was last week
Flat bench: was supposed to do straight sets but I underestimated myself big time
235 x 6
255 x 6
275 x 6… Will probably start with this next week and see if I can get all 3 sets.
DB Inclines: same as flat bench. Big underestimation.
75’s x 6
90’s x 6
100’s x 5 probably go with 90’s/95’s next week and see whats up
Dips: w/ 60 seconds rest… Leaning forward.
2 x 20
1 x 14
Pec Deck:
3 x 10
Push Ups on dumbbells: extra deep stretch. 2 x MAX
22 & 13 lol… Chest was SMOKED!!!
Abs: x forever!!! ZOMGF I thought I was going to die. We probably did 30+ minutes straight of abs. I did more ab work yesterday than I have in about 6 months. I’m pretty sure I’m going to feel incredibly sore and regret the shit out of doing them. My buddy who’s my new workout partner is an ab machine and has the 8 pack to show for it. I out lifted him the whole session pretty much but he absolutely kicked my ass on the abs lol… It’ll probably be good for me though.
Gonna hit up back tonight. Should be good. I’ll keep everyone posted on what’s going on. Holla!
30 min of abs=death… so you going back to a more bodybuilding style of training?
30 minutes of abs = more work that I’ve done in the last 6 YEARS! LOL
Solid session man, strong bench is strong.
LWI

If he doesnt, I’m gonna kill myself
Good Lord that’s a lot of chest work. How many days you gonna be in the gym a week now? 5?
Elmore- You’re telling me. It was horrible. Ummm yeah thats the plan. I’m going to go back to a bodypart split for now. Working on bringing up the bod a bit.
Ink- Yeah Ab Work = Sucky lol LWI
Ct. Rock- Get over here you big lug HUG
WhiteFlash- hahaha I know right? I’m doing my buddys workouts so we’ll see how it goes. My chest is feeling pretty sore already today. It should be good… I think that the increase in volume will also help me shed some BF? Maybe? Hopefully…
Ran this morning. Havent ran much lately since I have compartment syndrome but I wanted to try again today. I’m planning on slowly building up my running “stamina” I guess you would call it?
Ran 1 mile
walked 5 minutes
Ran 1 mile
walked 5 minutes
Hitting up Back this afternoon. Will report back with the results.
Your buddys training sounds pretty tough!
No pains from the running? I’d guess the extra volume would help leaness, but who am I to say lol. The running will for sure though.
Haven’t seen any dunking vids in a while ether, is that just with the change of gyms or are you not bothered anymore?
Enjoy back day (my fave training session)
How long do you think you’ll be doing your bud’s workouts?

My “stamina” sucks too. Never thought of running though.
Nice work bro namath, it seems very bodybuildery, is thats whats next on the agenda?
Steve- Yeah his workouts are pretty tough. Volume like a mofo… but it should work out good cause he’s an ab machine but doesnt really do legs. I get down with some legs but dont do abs so we’ll be pushing eachother with my strength vs his weakness and vice versa. I was feeling good from the running earlier but now my feet are cramping like a mofo and it sucks so bad lol. Gonna hot back and then ice them up. not looking forward to the ice. Put the jumping on hold for the PL meet but I think I’ll try to get to the rec center soon and see whats what. Kinda nervous because of my knee issues lately TBH.
Spar4tee- Ummmm I’m not sure really? I’d like to give these a shot for the next 6 weeks till the wedding (damn man its coming up fast!) I think that would be pretty good and then re-asses going into the new year? I think this extra volume will help me shed some BF so that’s good for me. I’d like to get down to a much leaner 205 (holding at 213-214 lately)
scj- LOL. I put stamina in quotations cause I didnt really mean my wind. I meant to condition up my legs for running. I think if I slowly build em up by running a little bit farther ever week that I can get to the point where I can do 3-5 milers with no pain/tightness. I could be wrong though.
Matty- yes, very bodybuildery (i like that term) I’d like to spend the next couple months refining my physique and getting all sliced and diced up. Definitely not trying to do a BB/Physique show or anything… just get to where I’m lookin better than i am now.
Hit up back today and it was ROUGH. Feeling pretty awesome. Going to add in DL’s next week though. My buddy doesnt do them… but he will now! MUUWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
Started with WIDE grip pull ups. Put the Lat pull down attachment across the nutral grip pull up station (know what I mean?) and did the widest grip possible on the down angle. All reps were super slow and controlled with legs straight down. So much harder and smokes the lats.
10xBW
30 Pull Ups w/ 25lb vest (as many sets as it takes) 7, 5, 6, 4, 4, 4
20 BW pull ups (as many sets as it takes) 8, 4, 5, 3
Cable Row:
150 x 6
165 x 6
180 x 6
Lat Pull Down: Constant tenstion
150 x 6
165 x 6, 6
DB Rows:
105 x 6 (easy)
110 x 6 (easy)
120 x 6 (easy peasy)
100 x 20 (SMOOOOKED)
Kayak Rows:
60lbs x 6, 6, 6 ouch
Hyper Extensions:
45lbs x 10, 10, 10
Abs like a mofo again (UGH) and done. My buddy is all about really slow and controlled reps and so everything is textbook. We’ll see how it goes for a while. Should be good.
Tomorrow is legs and its going to be sweet. I’m going to run his ass into the ground lol. YEAAAAA BUDDY!
Also, side note: Some random guy PMed me out of no where and this was our convo… weird
