Sorry if you said this but where are your upcoming meets?[/quote]

Yea, I am. It’s fucking crazy. I havent been under 270 in a while and I am sitting around at 262-265 right now. People tell me I look skinny. haha. I know when I am around 275, my bf% is 17-20%. It is significantly lower than that. A couple years ago, I had Shelby Starnes get my diet on track for a meet and I went from 280 to 229. That was like skinny and depleted weight though. If I were to drop 10 more pounds right now, you’d be able to see my abs through my fucking shirt.

I really, REALLY don’t care about these things but it just goes to show how much bullshit there is in magezines and online. I really wouldn’t think it would be possible to be this lean and strong at this weight without steroids. But, I feel fucking awesome.

I’ve got Men’s Nationals this weekend, Raw Nats in august, hopefully World’s in Novemebr, hopefully th night of the licing dead in october, then I really have no idea.[/quote]

I came for how to get fat and strong… what are you doing man haha[/quote]

I know man, false advertising. I promise I will get very very fat after this weekend.

Good, good

have you ever gotten a lat cramp after doing heavy front squat holds? Got this real weird tightness but not exactly that painful or limiting in my ROM in my left upper lat, thinking its from those, curious if uve ever experienced this.

Is it actually in your lat? My serratus anterior get’s lit up sometimes. Either way, jam and ice cube in it a couple times a day until it goes away. That helps me anyway.

6-21-12- Last little lifty day- 30% Mock Meet

Squat-215x3x1
Bench-155x3x1
DL-255x3x1

Band GMs- Lightx2x20
Standing Abs-Greenx2x20

Tabata distance row- zero resistance- cranked it down just to make it as totally cardio, brah as I could. Went 835 meters in the course of the tabata.

Stretched a butt load.

Today was more for visualizing the competition and getting my mind right. Weights were fast. BW is hanging around 264-265. Just gotta get there and do the shit now.

i dont know my anatomy well enough, but its kinda like right under the shoulder blade and feels like its ā€˜in the ribs’ but yeah sounds like the same thing, been stretching/massaging it all day, already alot better.

ooop, looked it up on an anatomy chart, yeah thats the fucker hahaha

I think that happens because that muscle flexes synergystically in order to keep all of your ribs from sinking down into your organs and causing a complete prolapse of your digestive system.

interesting, have you found any prediction as to when this happens, as in number of sets, a lil to much weight that youre not used or a combination of that, or even when combined with other lifts?

Just pre congratulating you for the awesome-ness that will take place tomorrow.

BEND IT LIKE BOLTON!!!

Get it, like that soccer movie about that soccer dude? But I used Bolton cause like… Andy. And the bending is the bar and stuff…yah!

I have been waiting all week to say that!!!

KICK ASSSSS
