Great lifting. You made that look easy.
Excellent choice of song as well. From my 2nd fave Zep album no less!

but which is the best?
(hint: it’s 2)
Hi buddies,
Well since I invented this thread, I might as well contribute.
Since the last check-in, I have been preparing myself for the up-coming soccer season. This year I have decided to play at a lower weight. Running around for 90 minutes weighing 100 kg wasn’t doing me any favours. I have increased my conditioning and skill work and I am following 5/3/1 with the athletic assistance template, 2 times a week. Im no longer concerned with aesthetics/hypertrophy and my goal in the gym is to maintain/increase strength. I eat mainly paleo and try get the majority of my carbs before and after training. Im down to about 93 kg, after weighing in at 99 kg at the end of December.

LOL!
I understand the toilet replaces the box, so upon descent, your junk drops into the bowl and saves you from sitting on your nuts (which I have done in the past).

Not only that but it helps if you’re in the sharting frame of mind.[/quote]
LOL! That word always makes me laugh for some reason!

I have to admit, Bird, you look better than I expected a soccer player to look.
Nice work.

I second that. He’s obviously been killing it at the gym. I’ve seen plenty of people on this site make way less progress.

Thanks buddies. I still plan to lose 2-3 more kg’s, so I’m not going to really “progress” in the bodybuilding department. I’m going to be one of those little guys on YouTube who can squat more than the big guys, if you know what I mean.

I do think you could do with a lot more bench press though.

Thanks for the suggestion, and I am hoping I can improve my bench, although there is no real advantage for me to have a massive bench as a soccer player.

I clicked on this thread, seeing that you had posted, and figured there is no way you posted a picture.
Thanks for proving me right.

lulz.
Way to represent Snap!!
Lots of great work in here!
The end of Aug. I began a bulk that just finished right around Christmas time. I went from 131ish to 142. Very happy with the results. Since then I have brought my weight back to 131.
Current short term goals ~ drop 6 pounds in 9 weeks (125#). Clean and press 145 by end of feb. (small friendly challange that I need to WIN! :D)
Then decide on weak areas and BULK some more!!
And here is my clean and press. 130# at 131 BW.
I received some great feed back on form that should help pile on a few more pounds
Get it Done!!
