600meters X2 " "
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…

Happy December t-nationers. I rang in the new month with a workout of proportions that were fairly epic but not really. Just a quick one and a run. here it is:
Cable chest press / pull-up / leg raise / side leg raise
22# each side x7 / BWx7 / BWx7 / BWx7 each side
repeat above for 3 circuits.
not very tiring but i was waiting for the run
2.5 mile run about. it took me a dang hour so either my estimates in distance are off or i’m just really slow. probably a mixture of both. alright peace out t-nationer’s enjoy the rest of the weekend
Piny here with some highlights of the past couple of days.

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:
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.

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.
