Nice PRs!!! I couldn’t find what you weigh…is that bodyweight, or close to? More than? I’m a terrible judge at that. Regardless, very solid work!!

Im currently about 241, give or take what shit I eat on a certain day lol. Ultimate goal is a 315 OH press, a looooong way to go but like we discussed the small incremental PRs is the way to go. My max incline BP is 325, and the Incline is like a cheating OH press to me so as that goes up hopefully same will go for my OH Press.

Thank you sir!
I decided to take a day off from work tonight, so I will be sleeping when I should…I cant wait!
Damn solid work Matty! That’s stout pressing for sure.
Yeah, family drama sucks. Not much more to say that hasn’t been said.

Nice pressing Matty a body weight overhead press is an awesome milestone to hit.
Thanks guys Onward and Upward

Great work Matty. How do you like the Starr program? I did Madcow (it looks really close to this) three years ago or so and really liked it. But I like a simple program. I love/hate the set of 8 after the set of 3 on day 3.
Keep up the hard work and here’s to a kick ass 2012.

Damn fine training to wrap up 2011, Matty!!
Onward and upward indeed. Loves it!
Happy New Year, buddy!! All the best in 2012!

I love it as a base to my program I really do, the intermediate linear progression keeps me on track…I add some of Paul Carter’s approaches as well. I tend to enjoy a bit more volume so its a way to satisfy both my lifting goals.
I think it will always the base of my programs, maybe move on to the Pendlay advance to switch it up a little.
Thanks brother happy new year!

Thanks Maschy…you as well, 2012 will be the full Return of you on the Soccer Field!
happy new year, matty!
135 lbs x for 22 on millies is crazy. I bet that got you puffing.
I see shed loads of PRs for you in 2012.
Thanks Lula and Brett!

Got the gym a little bit late didn’t warm up enough on the squat as such my lower back locked up a bit. Other than that I felt pretty good ignored the lower back issue and fought through. A bit disappointed I didn’t get the 5th rep of the 295, but I had no spotter today and I think that may have something to do with it.
I’ve lifted alone for so long I think a spotter would throw me off. The safety bars are your friends!

Lol, I lift alone myself for the most part but there are a few buddies at the gym that I trust, none were there today. I should use the cage to bench but I just don’t feel comfortable there.
Matty you need to post your video of the 230 millie in the overhead thread in GAL
I did bro, like a week and a half ago…get with it, what the fuck were you on a cruise or something? 
Lol I suck again.
