I want to pull something over 800, clean it, then throw it into the crowd.

Hey STB, just letting you know that those blast strap fallouts are THE DEVIL.

THE DEVIL, I tell you.

That is all.[/quote]

Agreed. Stick with them though, they are one of the best core exercises you could ever do for squatting and pulling… even though they are probably taking years off yout life and will never allow you to shit comfortabley ever again.[/quote]
I will stick with them. And yes, they make it painful to sneeze, let alone shit, so thanks for that.

LOL awesome

Tuesday-PM Stuff

Sumo Pulls- 135x100
Pull Throughs- Light Band x 5 minutes straight
Straight Leg Sit-ups- 25lbs x 2:30
Leg Raises x 2:30

I am now on hour 37 without sleep and starting to feel like I am going insane.

STB this is what I posted on the westside thread:

Fuck I can’t tell if my free squat is more or not because I’ve gained 15 lbs since I got taken out of wrestling. In that time I didn’t free or box squat. So last time I free squatted the best I’d every gotten was 215x2 and like 175x10 I think, I’d have to look back. I just yesterday hit a 260x3 SSB Box Squat onto 12" w/ hands on the rack. This was my best PR ever by a long shot.

So do you think both my free and box squat went up or I’m box squatting wrong? If you think It’s probably bad box squat form can you explain how to do it a little bit more in detail?

No no, I posted this literally right before you replied in the thread I got it. Lol so SSB w/ hands on rack isn’t exactly a favored ME movement? I’ve seen it used before and figured why not as long as I get stronger. But since you recommend against it I’ll probably throw it out of my rotation.

Wednesday-1-11-12- Extra

Tri Opener PNF

So, I have noticed a problem with Carb Backloading… I’m losing too much weight too fast. I am also feeling awesome during my workouts and smashing PR’s but I have no desire to weigh under 275lbs ever again. To counter this, I am going to start adding in refeeds twice a week. Wednesdays and Saturdays are going to be higher carb days (clean sources) after I get done my morning workouts. Hopefully this won’t effect training on thursdays and sundays (which I am almost positive it won’t, other than increased work capacity because my glycogen will be completely topped off). I’m going to give it a go today and see how I feel.

Video of the workout today should be up in a little bit.

Is that wobble bar just a 7’ piece of PVC?

LOL @ your carb backloading “problem”. I need to get on that train

x2 STFU with your “I’m getting too lean and strong” BS.

Just busting your balls of course

I am getting confused by the backloading… How many cals are you eating everyday? And how much weight have you lost?

For your backloading, when do you train and then start the backload?

EDIT: I’m not trying to understand the diet (I have the book), I am trying to understand how do YOU do it because clearly it is working better for you than me hahahah

I think its a little 7’ and its almost 2’’ thick.

Yea man, the diet is nuts. I am basically eating a pizza every day and dropping fat like crazy. The performance aspect of it is like putting in a fucking cheat code.

Being too skinny pisses me off. I’d rather carry more fat around and look like a fucking gorilla than be able to wear a pair of wranglers ever again.

Calories have nothing to do with bodyweight and performance in a strength sport. It’s what and when you eat, not how much.

Anyway, I’ve dropped almost 20lbs in a couple weeks… by accident. I started the diet a little over 280, then the batteries in my scale died. I just put in new ones the other day and it had me at 265. I knew it was down because I am starting to get elevator cable like veins popping up all over the place… I will now try to suffocate them back down with layers of fat.

I don’t even do the program optimally. I train early in the morning usually and I have about 10-12 extra workouts thoughout the week. So, I don’t know what to tell you. haha.

You really have to go nuts on the backloading to get the most out of it.

Well to be fair how much you eat is relevant… If I were to eat 16 cups of whole wheat pasta, 4kg of red meat, 4 liters of skim milk and 3kg of chicken a day it would not be a good choice, despite the fact that these are great food hoices… Obviously a retarded example but you get my point…

When you train AM, what carbs do you eat before the backload? and when do you start your backload?

Since we train at completely oppsite times, you in the AM and me late at night, about an hour before going to bed, could you toss out a tip on how you would run the carb backloading in my shoes? Low carb all day long, then hammer it all in PWO and hit the rack? Or would there still be a window the next morning to continue backloading?

Thanks, Mr Elevator Veins

Again, its what and when you eat. Whole wheat pasta and milk are terrbile choices for most human beings.

I have about 100g of maltodextrin (NOW Foods) right after training then backload around 6pm and force myself to stop around 9, depending on my schedule for that day.
