20 rep squat/deadlift
Squat 275x20
Deadlift 275x19 (miscounted, hit a rep after I watched back the video)
YouTube is acting funny so I can’t upload the video yet, but will edit this post and put it up. Took a LOT of rest on deadlifts. This took about 6 minutes.
MONSTER!!! Nice work, my man.
Thanks dude!
I still can’t change to my t-nation only YouTube account for some reason. I’ll find a way to post the lifts up at some point.
Here’s the video, not sure what was happening with YouTube yesterday.
The lower back pump during deadlifts was horrendous
Yep—you’re a MONSTER!
You’re obviously looking strong in that video, and I think you’re looking pretty huge, too.
As weird as this sounds, my eyes immediately went to my teeny tiny little chicken legs. Not sure how those bad boys hold the weight up lol.
But, I do appreciate it Sven! I’m feeling much better about where I’m at aesthetically.
Alright, it’s about time for a brain dump/summary/prep for BtM.
Weighed 211 this morning. That means I’ve gained in the neighborhood of 5 lbs these past few months- cool. I have been way less restrictive with my eating, and have essentially become a human vacuum cleaner. If there is food, I will eat it. So far I haven’t noticed too much of an adverse effect on body comp, some extra lower back fat, but it is what it is.
I feel strong as fuck though. I haven’t felt under recovered, I’ve just gone in and done the BBBB days without a second thought or hesitation to what I’m doing, except that last press day. Conditioning is still going well, even though I hate doing it. It seems way more necessary than I had anticipated and it’s starting to become a habit.
I will not be partaking in the full 12 eggs during BtM, but I will be eating 6-8 eggs every day and likely well over 2lbs of meat as well.
This is me the last time I weighed 211
I purchased a few bags of surge to try out, and am following along with @SvenG, going to try out indigo3g as well. I don’t see the harm in trying any of it out. I am super excited for the results of BtM.
Nice job with those squats and deadlifts and deff looking a completely different 211 mate. Well done.
God do I love seeing this stuff. Great work dude! And I’m excited to see the monolith unfold for you.
@simo74 @T3hPwnisher thank you guys so much. I really feel like I’m locked in right now.

Yet another “beginners take note” post. You crushed it in all regards!
I am extremely jealous of all the wonderful steaks you are putting away! Nice man!
Awesome stuff as usual

How much do you spend on beef in a quarter and where do you order from?
I couldn’t even venture a guess for just generally speaking, but the box I signed up for is $250 from piedmontese dot com, I absolutely love it. They change it up each time so I’ve sampled a little bit of everything. So far it’s all been amazing
No better post for 3000 than talking about food
Three 1/3 lb burger patties, 7 fried eggs and chipotle sour cream for dinner, and some naan pizza that my wife made.
Totals are 11 eggs, 2 lbs ground beef and various other fun things so far today.
