I wouldn’t think of it as dieting but just cleaning things up?
I agree with Bug and you look good as is.
Haven’t you done the RFL as a cat 1? I don’t think there is a need for that level of extreme.
Baller on the custom made tux. picture requested of course.
don’t know on the weight loss. last I looked I could count your abs. That’s lean enough for me, but to each his own.
Sending a prayer for your friend.
Won’t pretend I know what it’s like to lose a friend. Hope his family is dealing OK.
ink, greg wouldn’t even beat ME in a race to 500, let alone the rest of the field.
Damn I miss dips, I used to be such a dipshit…killer session broheim.
elmore- why you gotta tease me like that?
kMan- Whats up dude? How ya been? Thanks
phlegms- Oh yeah I love dips. It was a nice way to start out the workout… really got my tri’s pumped and primed for the workout.
MiM- you’re probably right… cleaning things up a bit and actually trying to stick with some cardio lol. Yeah I did the RFL back after my shoulder surgery when I was a skinny fat little turd lol. I dont know if I would really want to do it again right now though… It would be interesting to see how it effected me though… hmmmm.
Frenchie- Yeah the tux is pretty baller. I’m definitely pumped on it. I’ll throw up some pics after the wedding of course 
The weight loss thing isnt so much about looking better (although that is always a plus) but its more of an experiment for my joint health… Im not a fan of these small nagging injuries.
Scj- I see what you’re trying to do here my man… and YOUR ASS IS ON!!! I’m gonna smash a 500 lb DL in your face and then “you’re gun call me sponge bob, i’m stackin crabby patties. Bitch I go to work, doin cat daddy!” BAM!
Matty- you cant do dips? Shoulder issues? Dips are prob my totes fave exercise… I feel like they’ve done so much for my tricep strength/thickness and they most definitely have helped with my pressing strength.
Slept horribly last night. not sure why I couldnt fall asleep but I finally dozed off at 5AM and then got up for the day at 9AM lol…
Got in the gym tonight and blasted my 'Ceps. First day doing biceps only in, well, probably forever. I have a feeling I wont be able to use my arms tomorrow.
Started with straight bar curls w/ back resting on a pad:
115lbs x 6, 6, 6, 6 (all with a slow negative. no body english at all)
Wide grip straight bar curls:
115lbs x 6, 6, 6,
EZ Bar Curls:
45lbs on each side x 8, 8, 8
Single Arm Cable Hammer Curl:
not sure how much but 3 x 8
Single Arm DB Preacher Curl:
35lbs x 8, 6, 6 (arms were so absolutely destroyed it was insane)
Finished with 2 sets of “21’s” with the 45lb bar LOL
I think that was all? There are probably a few sets here and there that I missed but oh well. I honestly couldnt even touch my own nose after the workout cause my biceps were so pumped lol. Crazy.
Watched a ton of football today. USC vs Notre Dame game was awesome and I cant believe the ending of the Michigan State and Wisconsin game… so wild. Watching the Texas Tech vs Oklahoma game now and then going out with some buddies for “Rocktober Fest” yeaaaaah buddy!
Rocktober Fest? Sounds awesome, been trying out any new beers in the spirit of octoberfest?
Been good man, just working a lot and solidifying some connections for a new place this spring. Training has been going great too.
Pah, I’d luv so much to be able to do EZ preachers with “1pps” but they just kill my forearms almost as badly as straight bar work… tendonitus style. Good looking biceps day greg
Damn dude that was an bicep workout worthy of “Master Bro Curl” status…what do you find that you like more the current BB style or the 531?
As far as dips I loved them did them all the time with pretty decent weight (120lbs 5 reps) but my shoulders felt like they were going to tear off after a while, I cant even do the HS seated dip the movement kills me, however I haven’t attempted any dips in about 6-7 months about at the same time I stopped flat benching. I started flat benching again because of the upcoming meet, with very little pain…Ill attempt the dips next ME upper day…maybe the rest helped.
Great work as usual!
115 for 7 sets of 6 on curls? Jeeessuuss. No wonder your arms are that much bigger than mine. I need to get on your level. That tricep sesh looks intense too. Did you change up your split? Or are you just hitting whatever whenever you have time?
Great arm work man, your putting most of us to shame!
Sorry to hear about your friend, its always hard to lose a friend.
k-Man- Sounds good. Didnt end up doing the Rocktober fest thing but still had a fun night. Lookin thicker in the new avi, I’ll have to agree that your training is going well.
Jake- The EZ Bar hurts your forearms? Thats crazy man. So you’re strictly a dumbbells guy for bi’s?
Matty- hahaha “Master Bro Curl” would be an accurate title lol. We were curling forever. It was pretty good. A little more than I would have probably liked but it was still good. Arms were thoroughly smashed… more variation next time though. That sucks about your dips. You should try giving them a go again and see how they feel. Do you do shoulder rehab/prehab stuff? Thats really helped me.
Blaze- Thanks mi amigo. I guess you could say that I changed my split. I just started doing my buddies split. Right now its Chest, Legs, Back, Shoulders/Traps, Triceps, Biceps, Off and repeat. I’m interested to see how it works out. Should be good.
Oregand- No shame up in here… you’ll get to where I’m at now and blow past it. Just stay consistent!
Avi change was inspired by The Mighty Stu’s engagement thread… throwing up an engagement pic of my own
Today was chest day. Felt good today.
warm up, stretch, dislocates, band pull aparts, blah blah blah
Incline BB Bench:
225 x 6, 6, 6 (got all 3 sets of 6 so I’ll more of to 235 next week)
Flat BB Bench:
275 x 6, 6, 6 (just like incline I got all 6 clean with no spot so I’ll move up to 285 next week)
Incline Smith:
235 x 8, 8, 6 (smoked)
Low to High Cable Flys:
40lbs x 12, 12, 12 drop to 30 x some drop to 20 x some more
Single Arm Pec Deck: These are killer. The extra few inches of ROM you get is where its at
80lbs x 10, 10, 10 w/ Squeeeeeeeeeeeeze. Yeah buddy
then weighted abs for a while. Finished with a little conditioning.
12lb Med Ball - Wall balls x 20
100 jumps with speed rope
did 4 rounds of that and went home. Pretty good workout. Now I’ve got wedding stuff and errands to run. busy busy.
Holy shit dude, your avatar makes me want to wife you up.
Look at that stare…1000yd stare of awesomeness, LOL
Looking good, big guy.
look at the model!!!
Why is the model next to greggy?
you look great!
Swole looking chest day, I can’t wait till’ I’m strong as fuck and can justify doing a more hypertrophy based workout rather than the raw strength Bs I’m doing at the moment 
Also, congrats on the hot wife-to-be. You look like you make an awesome couple!

Your blue steel look makes me want to rip off my clothes. And I can’t blame your wife for not being able to keep herself from grabbing onto your firm pecs. Break me off a piece of that gregron.
(no homo)
Ink- Hahahahaha thanks buddy. The engagement photo shoot was pretty fun.
Sweet D- Are you looking at the same picture I am? hahaha Thats me and my lady. its one of the only shots with a good look at my face. Most of the pics are of her and me trying not to look like a goofball so Im looking away or covering half of it with a giant sandwich or something
phlegms- Thanks brah! You’re on the right track though… build up your strength and then work on hypertrophy stuff.
Spar4tee- hahaha swag like a mofo lol.
Da Champ- I like to think of it as more of a La Tigre… but you know lol. “Break me off a piece of that fancy feast”
Ok so LOL. If I would have known this was coming I woulda stuck with my old avi hahaha… but thanks guys. All the kind words are what make the logs here so nice. I’m checkin up on all of you!!!
Cool chest session there, interested in the incline BB and incline smith or was it just for fun?
You and your boo look great in the avi, was the shoot am engagement present or something?
Steve- We’ve been hitting incline chest twice every chest day. The second incline variation is either DB’s or Smith. Last week was DB Inline so we hit up Smith Incline this time. The picture is from our Engagement Photo session. We got a ton of pic… it was fun. I was nervous cause I dont take good pics but they turned out pretty good. My fiance is a natural though. She had a ton of good ones.
