Austin - that sucks with the girl; now you need to walk the fine line between not talking to her too much so you don’t make her go crazy again whilst also making sure you aren’t ignoring her totally in which case you will get in trouble for being rude.
JTG - nice shoulder press, are you using a full upright bench? Damn, my DB press sucks…

squat–135x5x4
lunge–30x14x4 (way too light)
1 leg ham curl–20x10x3
leg xt–50x10x4

Squats feel light until i get right around parallel. Guess thats what I get for using all that cheater gear.
Looking forward to next week when I don’t have to bounce around gyms anymore. 5/3/1 starts then.
And a tip for all you guys our there: If you see a girl at your gym doing any real lifts, telling her that she’s “doing good for a girl” probably won’t get you on her good side.[/quote]

Today’s Legs 2 (the easy one)
Seated Calf Press : 5plates x 11
*Used these super skinny 45 lb plates we have so I was able to still bring them down and get a nice stretch.
Plated Loaded Single Leg Curl : 1pps+30s x 11 per side
Narrow Stance Leg Press : 9pps+25s x 10, 7pps x 20
Uhhh +50 lbs +2 reps, legs just keep fucking jumping like crazy. The widowmaker set was sooo brutal though, I put everything I had into that heavy set and I wanted to die on the widowmaker after rep 8.

I r confused. What’s wrong with those warmups? I prob would have done it more like
40 x whatever
50 x whatever
60 x whatever
70 x whatever
80 x AMRAP (that’s what CC always says right? as many reps as possible? lol)
Still don’t think there’s anything “wrong” with how you did it though.
Edit: I do the decreasing reps as I get closer to my work set method.

CC has talked about two ways to ramp: keeping the reps the same for each warmup set, or gradually decreasing the reps as you progress towards your work weight.
I do the latter. For flat DB bench, work set of 110, i’d probably do this (starting with about half your work weight is a good idea for reference sake)
50s x 12-15
65 x 8
80 x 3 or so
110 x AMAP
These are a bit more ‘complicated’ because its a DB press. What i mean is that your work weight isn’t gonna be as high, and sometimes you’re not sure if you need/want to go 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, then work weight, for instance, or somehow break it up into bigger leaps.
All by how I feel that day, nothing is set in stone. I just know that the first is 10+ reps and my last warmup is only a single, MAYBE a double. I just want to get a heavier weight in my hands to get prepared for the last set.
I don’t know how to work my camera 
I’l try again tomorrow
You guys think this MM pose looks better? I’m trying different variations. It will be nice when I have some roundness in my triceps, damn them!

I dunno dude, that picture makes you look leaner and smaller.
But that might just be 2 weeks of manual labor without any food.

i’ve done 225x8 on the incline, thats partly why i felt so embarassed. i just didnt eat enough before i went in - got caught up in some documentary about snuff films on youtube.
Redemption? crosses fingers
I’m just not as bloated as usual, which could be whats up. I mean I’m still 282 or so and strong as ever, but who knows.

I don’t think he meant that to be a put down…but I agree. You look leaner, but less massive…though I think the look overall IS better than the other one from your thread. But you don’t have that same “DAMN THAT MOFO IS HUGE” look in this pic. Could be the lighting though, you were all lit up and yellow/orange in the other pic. lol

This one looks better for sure…the other one you look too narrow. You maintain your width in this one.
Way,
I think some of it might be the lighting…the new pictures are kind of fuzzy and I think they make you look soft compared to the last ones you posted where you looked much more solid.

Are you on your cutting cycle, way?
Im pretty sure he’s trying to break 300 but the last 2 weeks have been fucked as far as diet and training go because of the seasonal job he had.
