So afterwards, i put on a fat belt (those rubber things that go around your waist to make you drip sweat) and went for a run
600meters X2 then 50 BW Pullups and 50 BW Pushups

Repeat for a total of 4 rounds. about 2 miles and 200 pullups and pushups. I think i made up for the lack of volume in the gym…

Alright. Sup T-nationers.

Piny here with some highlights of the past couple of days.

1/7/2013

Stiff-Leg DL
385#x3x3

Almost hit a 500# Deadlift with no belt or straps but i could feel my back rounding and so i dropped it. I got it off the floor and no doubt, i could have sloppily got it up but that defeats the purpose. Anyways, before that, i completed this:

warmup:

Snatch grip DL
bar x5x3
135 x3x3
225 x3x3
315 x2
315 x1x3

Normal DL
405x3
455x1
475x1
500x miss x2

All with no straps or belt. I think that if i did the 500# attempt after the warm-up, i could have easily hit it with perfect form.

Pause squats
315 x1x6

that’s all.

Note: i’ve been diverting from any conditioning for the moment. Focused solely on strength until the 15th of the month, where i’ll start focusing on cutting up…FINALLY just as the log title says. right now I’m at 200#, moderately controlling my carb intake to peri-workout and breakfast.

3/9/14

nearly 2 months of not lifting…focused on work and other distractions. this is what occured on my first day back

Squat:
135x5x3
225x4x3 (pause squats mostly)
315x4
315x2
315x1 pause

Front squat
135x10x3

sup t-nationers. just gotta say. i love the grind of working out. I don’t know why. Procrastination from other things while getting jacked? Possibly. Progression from one weight to another? i guess so. Getting high of your own endorphins? Yeah that’s good too.
