Will be following your training. Funny that our lifts and weight are about the same but you are taller than me ( I am vertically challenged). You must have stuck out like a sore thumb in Japan where apparently its the rage for the guys to be skinnier than the girls.
Oooh ooh, new readers! How exciting. Guess Im actually gonna have to not suck in the gym. Will try to throw in pics and videos to make this shit more interesting.
WhiteFlash, I’m in Austin. I’m finishing up my 4th and final year at UT Austin.
ebomb, sorry I can’t eat 2 bags of gummi worms every day and stay and -3% bodyfat. plz stop trying to sabotage my progress. 
DoveofWar88, dude I’ve seen your log. Pretty sure you can overhead press my squat…
Bear, you must look way thicker than me. I’m thankful for my height, but it’s gonna take us 6 footers and above a lil longer to fill out, especially with less than optimal muscle genetics.
Japan was a hoot. It was my 3rd time there, and after 4 years of studying the language, I think I’m throwing in the towel. Just not for me, living and working there. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, and training some delts and arms in about 2 hours. YES.
Training is looking solid brother. glad you’ve started a log.
Omg, Alpha is here! I might have to start doing crazy barbell complex insert extraction special ops missions now! Maybe when I’m leaning out.
So delts and arms went fairly well. Training partner wanted to try some different stuff. My RC was feeling a lil tight on the right side at first, and after delts while doing tris, the left side was gettin tight. May have hurt my numbers a bit, but regardless, it was a good session.
Was wearing a Tmuscle shirt today, and some guy asked how I knew about it, and asked if my training partner or I were on cycle. NOPE!

Suboptimal eating and sleep (even for me) this week. Fuck you school. Still felt pretty pumped going into this workout, but as punishment for not foamrolling and stretching regularly the last few weeks, my IT band started throbbing to the point that I couldn’t stand. By the time I got to squats, I called it a day and foam rolled the shit out of everything.
Only highlights really are finally going heavy again on SLDLs (365x10). Sadly, thats about when shit started hurtin.
Oh well!
EDIT: went ahead and uploaded these to my page so that i could put them in one post.
some pics. screencaps from a vid. tris are so goofy looking… if only I had about 20% less luv-handle mass and 20% more arm size… i’d look good.

pretty pleased with how these look.
Good delt and arm day. Shoulder presses didn’t go too great (was having trouble kicking up the second 110lb DB), but everything else was on point. Decided to alternate bi and tri exercises also. Lastly, some guy approached me about bouncing at a classy bar here in Austin. Might look into that we’ll see.

Feelin good! Hopefully I can keep making strength gains before I feel like I need to deload a lil bit. Hope everyone’s training is going swimmingly. <3
God that looks like a lot of volume. I guess it’s kind of a lot. Got it done in about an hour 15.
Was mondo sick last week (flu, yuck). Was out of the gym except once. Lost a good 7 lbs. Now I’m back though. Finals time has come. In a few weeks I’ll have time to really eat and grow and hopefully put on a few more quality lbs in the next couple months before transitioning to a diet phase.
Today was nothin special.
Incline, worked up to 295x5
Incline DB’s, worked up to 115’s x 12
Pec deck
Skull crushers, worked up to I think 135lbs x 8
Overhead rope extensions, worked up to the stack for some reps
Nothin crazy, but gettin back into the swing of things.
gawd your tiny, ever considered eating?
jk bud, keep up the good work.
ur tiny. Seriously though you’ve been putting on some serious weight and strength. where’s your bw at now? and how tall are you?
Back and bis today. With school being a focus it’s hard for me to be 100% in the gym since my eating and schedule are all over the place and i get in workouts when I can. For some reason today I felt like deadlifting (I never deadlift anymore really… i should though.)
Pullups, 3 sets of 12
Pulldowns (wide grip, underhand, close grip), lots of fun
Deadlifts (worked up to 525x3. Not as easy as it shoulda been olol)
Cable rows, some x some x some
Rope pulldowns finisher (felt awesome today)
TWO (!!) rear delt movements, cuz i neglect them (skipped traps)
Preacher curls (worked up to like, 40lbs per side of the bar for some sexy reps, drop setted that shit)
Cable curl thingies, got a sexy pump.
Nothing amazing this week.
yeah, I am a tiny lil dude.
I am about 6ft 2in, BW fluctuates between 255-260 at the moment. The goal was to bulk till I hit 600 on squat, got it in single ply monday night, so now I’m not sure where to go haha.
Sick deadlift numbers bud.
Solid lifting. Just read through here. I’ll be happy if I’m to where you are by my senior year (sophomore currently). I don’t know how you go heavy on squats after all those other leg lifts. If I do anything before squats my squat poundages go way down. Keep it up man!
Dixie, what’s it like to be so big and strong? God I hate you. A 600 raw squat would be epic man. What are your goals, physique wise? Big bad PLer?
Blaze, thanks man. It looks like you’re way ahead of where I was sophomore year, so keep at it. Where are your stats at now? Sophomore year I was a fat 210-215 ahah. I should have made more progress TBH but being in Japan for 6 months really fucked me.
Had a brutal leg session today. Weights weren’t amazing, coming back from being sick and all, but by the end I couldnt stand, so success!
Thorough stretching and foam rolling
Seated and standing calves, 4 sets each (make them mf’ers Grow!!!)
Seated leg curls, 4 ascending sets up to 150lbs, SS with super light leg ext. (just for blood flow to quads)
SLDLs (felt like going heavy even though I did some moderate deads yesterday. Lower back felt fine so w/e)
135x10
225x10
315x6
405x4 (purty heavy for me… been a long time since I’ve gone that heavy. Probably won’t be doing that anymore because I dont really feel the muscle working at that point)
High + wide foot, leg press (deeeeep, with a slight pause for maximum sexi)
5pps x 12
7pps x 12
9pps x 12
11pps x 12 (this set really f’ed me in my A. Eating wasnt fab today so I was super light headed and dizzy after. NBD)
Leg extensions (could barely move 50lbs ololol)
Squatz (a touch below parallel)
135x8
225x6
315x4
405x2
435x5 (PR is 455x6, so this isn’t too great. I felt like i left it all out on the leg press, and I could literally barely stand at the top of each rep. the actual reps themselves were easier than standing at the top. I felt like I was going to collapse haha. Had another rep in the tank but I thought I was gonna tip over lol.)
Lunges, 45lbs each hand, 2 sets of 25 steps.
Literally died afterwards.
Now chipotle!!
haha I aint that good. Raw 600lb squat is still far off, single ply is what I did. As far as physique goes, right now I just enjoy lifting heavy more than physique building, per se. When my joints cant handle it then I will concentrate on building a more polished physique. Right now, as long as I can look myself in the mirror and not be grossed out, then my physique is fine haha.
Word dude. Thats still damn impressive. I’ve never had more than 505 on my back so thats crazy. I feel you on not looking at yourself in the mirror and getting grossed out. You have nothing to worry about though, i see those t-vixens all over you haha.
Final exam in the morning, then working a catering tomorrow that pays 27 bucks an hour (from 2pm to 10pm, zing), so no training manana. Train hard guys, and thanks to you momos that read!

Hmm thought I posted a reply last night but apparently the internet didn’t want to let it through.
I’m weighing in around 180 (avatar is at 172), Bench max around 210-220 (usually do dumbells), Squat max is around 275 (just started doing them again this summer…stupid), deadlifts max is probably in the low/mid 300’s, I did 275 for 12 today. Not nearly as high as I’d like them to be, but it is what it is. Can’t get my damn arms to grow either, which is frustrating. lol.
