Man the last week has sucked school wise lol. Still managed to get my training in but didn’t have time to log or make videos so I went a bit crazy with the videos today because I had a great session.

Can I request that you stare into the camera more? I want to be captured in your steely embrace of a gaze.
@mmat: Only if you give an audio commentary on your next training video. Your gym tour video was epic.
Pretty decent session yesterday. Didn’t have the energy after heavy pressing to do much else, but I got in some good work.

Peri today:
1 scoop of old Anaconda
2 scoops of new MAG-10
40g of dextrose
2 FINiBARS 60 minutes prior with a can of Spike
I’ll see what I can do on the commentary. Once I finish up school, I’ll allow myself longer training sessions. Videoing even just a couple of sets adds like 15 minutes to my training time because I’m a ratard.

B) Bench 235 x 3 x 5

Great song choice dude. AS PER USUAL
I noticed your hips weren’t finishing through on squats either, but awesome lifting regardless!
@Jab: Yeah, something I definitely need to keep focused on. Thanks!

NOTES: I had a major epiphany last night, if you can call it that. I was falling asleep around midnight, when the thought came to me to move the bar a tad bit higher on my back. I’ve tried high bar before, and it feels a bit awkward. I’ve been doing low bar for a while, and it’s just not great. But, now I am doing bar. Yes, bar. Thank you iron gods for showing me the light. Unracking 405 today felt like cake, and I knew after hitting 315 for the easiest beltless triple, that I was due for a PR. The 2nd rep was a bit of a grinder because I fell forward a bit, but the first rep was so easy. I decided to scale back the rest of the session, and cut out all assistance work.
Nice. Solid work.
Squats are getting up there with the other lifts. Good job man.
oh you FANCY huh? I saw that video editing wizardry.
Your squats now actually look like squats man, with squatting bar (lol), that combined with your strength and I reckon they’re going to be going places! Awesome PR too. Very cool.
I had that idea 3 weeks ago. Stop copying me on ideas and squat prs
Dat editing.
Really great PR… just when I thought I had a legit chance at catching up with one of your three lifts… this happens. Ha, awesome work.
Thanks everyone! 
I’ve been super busy with classes and finals, and haven’t had a whole lot of free time.
I pulled 600 today. Something told me to go for it after I did my HFS work. I wasn’t planning on this. Especially after a terrible night of sleep cramming for 2 finals today. But, I’m very happy to hit this milestone.
After months of meticulous research, I’ve come to the conclusion that ashylarryku = the perfect specimen of a man. That is all.
^ ain’t that the truth. Smooth pull. Teach me how to work out.
That pull is starting to get seriously legit!
