Really good session tonight. Don’t know what got into me but I decided to use an over hand grip on all sets for the deadlifts. My grip was lousy after the first set, so I grabbed my straps and it was ON! Afterward s there was no standing movements as my lower back was fried. The rest of the workout was fine though…felt a good pump through out.

Seriously its strange question time…this morning I noticed I’m getting some stretch marks on my right ass cheek. Anyone else ever get stretch marks on their ass cheeks? I can only assume its from lifting - I’m very glute dominant on leg exercises, especially squats. So much so that I’ve considered dropping squats more than once from my training bc I feel them almost entirely in my ass, they don’t seem to do much for my quad development - I just recently started doing leg press and I’m finally really feeling my quads working and they are even actually getting sore which never happens.

Even if I did have stretch marks on my ass there is no way you could see them through all the hair. Wait, wut?
On a side note, sitting up straight is really hard to do. I’ve come to the decision that I need to fix my posture at work because it’s HORRIBLE! Also, I need to really strengthen my abs. I think these two things will really help alleviate the back problems I’m having.
Would someone lift something heavy for me please, I won’t be back in the gym until Monday probably. Back is getting better but still hurts.
I’ll lift something heavy for you today…415x2 conventional dead is happening today whether it wants to or not. If both go up smooth I’ll be pulling a 3rd just to make up for last weeks fuckup.

Next time you do abs try this…preferably on a flat bench, load a bar with about 95lbs, grab it like you were about to bench and un-rack. Hold it up and now do a set of reverse crunches for as many reps as you can manage. It really works the abs hard.

Sounds tough. I’ll give it a shot, thanks bro!
Pull workout today.
Wide grip pull ups - 10/10/9/9
High pull - 135 x 12/12/12/12
1 arm bent over row w/ bb*-3x8-10 115 lbs
Curls with 70 lbs attached to chain - 2 sets each arm.
Got a bit creative with this workout. Balancing a barbell for one arm rows was a bit difficult at first, but for the 2 working sets it felt pretty damn good.
One thing about being stuck in my basement the last 3 weeks lifting, my pull up numbers are much improved for wide grip,neutral, and chins.
Gonna go finish up my half gallon of post workout milk, then its off to a little last chance shindig with some friends at the University of Illinois before i move, its one of the females friends 21st birthdays, so me and a buddy are going out with her and her sorority sisters for a little bar crawl.
Sometimes God just smiles down on ya

Managed to get my ME squat workout in today, went as such:
Squats:
125x5
175x5
225x3
285x2
345x1
390x1
350x1/1/1/1
Ab stuff
And that was all. Literally just a ME squat workout, Made myself do one extra single of 350 lbs for not putting 400 on the bar for the max, I could’ve hit it. Just to make sure, I recorded my first single at 350 to make sure my depth was good. Turned out I was hitting 2-3 inches below parallel, so I was obviously very happy about that.
Next time 400’s going up, then 410 next. No if’s and’s or but’s.
Took care of bidness today as usual.

Oh, and at the gym I weighed myself with clothes, no shoes, and I was 221. Not that I’m actually 221 but it’s neat to see that number.

on a side note 125kg used to be my 1 rep max, haven’t gone for anything higher since end of last year for a single, so i guess thats ok but rationalizing it when you were supposed to get 5 is a pussies way out, at least I have chile for dinner
