Sumo Deadlift
315 x 5

Big time PR

GOOD JOB!!! It looked like it went up easy[/quote]

Thanks a lot I was surprised how easy it was.

I moved my stance out a bit further and if you look at my video from last week where I did 295 I was over compensating with my back. Since I moved my stance out more I don’t do that.

In the 3 weeks I have been doing sumo deadlifts they went from 275 x 3 to 315 x 5.

What I’am doing now is working great, I will be getting some briefs to wear in a month or so.

This isn’t a philosophy thread. You can go ahead and start a thread with that title over in the Get a Life forum, I’m sure it’ll start a very heated debate, which seems to be what your after.

I still cannot fucking walk moving around campus was miserable. Did arms today. Eating schedule was fucked up, I was tired as fuck, and no energy. The college life.

Thursdays - Arms

EZ-Bar curls, (wide grip, which was new)

45lbs x 10
65lbs x 10
75lbs x 8
95lbs x 6
95lbs x 8 (I think)

Incline DB curls

35’s x 14
42.5’s x 12
50’s x 10

Decline Close-grip bench to neck (thanks Ceph)

135lbs x 10
185lbs x 12
205lbs x 10
235lbs x 7 (I hit the pins to rack and just crashed, ha)

Decline DB extensions (trying to maintain good tech.)

30’s x 15
40’s x 12
50’s x 7

Hammer curls / Pressdowns SS

45’s x 12 / #12 x 15
45’s x 10 / #14 X 12
45’S X 8 SLOW, then some forced pinwheel curls, then drop set to 30’s x 4 / STACK x 10+3+1

Then we tried the finisher from that article for tris, but I remembered it wrong and thought you STACKED the 35 on the 45, etc. Let’s just say I didn’t get past the 25 plate haha.

Then 2 sets of calves. I hope they grow, fuck.

Just ate. Now homework. So tired. Get on that grind baby.

H4M, beastly fucking front squat.

H4M, damn man, great front squat, I got mine up to 305 last year, but that was after spending 5-6 weeks really focusing on the lift, really impressive that you could go in a do that without doing the lift much.

Dre, feels good to be reppin the training wheels doesnt it ? Thats what it called 225 in an old FLEX magazine, considering i was maxing out at like 195 at the time, this made me feel very weak and small, which at 17… I was.

Well guys, ive got a problem, im without at gym until i move to cincy in two weeks and start working at the school rec center.

I’ve had to step down from the assistant coaching position ive had with my alma mater’s football team because of the move, and when i handed in my keys, i lost my place to lift.

The coach is pretty pissed about me leaving during the season, but its not like i can put my life on hold to help out with a high school football team.

So its workouts in the basement for me for the next two weeks, ive got sand bags,a dip/chin station, an olympic bar and 200 pounds of weight, so i’ll get plenty of hard workouts in, just gonna have to take a small hiatus from the program that Nate gave me.

Its gonna be a bitch not being able to get under the bar for the next two weeks though.

I just cant afford to put down 100 dollars to join the city gym when i would only get 6 workouts in there.

Even though i wont have anything really worth a damn to log, i’ll still be around reading up on you guys’ workouts, and wishing like hell I could be dead lifting.
