Deadlifts felt pretty good! My belt keeps slipping up my back while doing them and I’m not blowing my belly out properly but technically they were decent otherwise. Isolation moves felt a bit off. I’m having some shooting pains in my low back and leg that are getting really annoying. I will get it checked out eventually.

Maybe you have a knot, and hopefully not a herniated disc or something crappy like that. Nice job on the 405x5 deads btw

Yeah, I think it’s a pinched nerve from neglecting my foam rolling. Thanks man, it’ll be 415 next week. I think I’ll be able to get a video too. My training partner bailed on me today because of ROTC stuff.

Wellll, I was unaware what ROTC stood for as well but Google informed me that it was Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. lol. It’s basically military school in college, where kids get some of their tuition paid for and prepare for a career in the military. It’s pretty common around most colleges from what I’ve heard. I’ve got a couple friends doing it.

BONEZ lateral raise is just a term I stole of countingbeans who copied the lift from BONEZ217. lol. It’s just a behind the back cable lateral raise. I really like them, they hit the side delts hard. BONEZ217 is a lot shorter than ‘behind the back cable lateral raise’ as well :wink:

Gorgeous girls that actually lift weights, wearing stretchy pants. It was awesome. But definitely a bit distracting. WAY too much pussy in the gym haha.

It sucked today. I felt great going in but it turned out awful. Shoulder was killing me doing squats and I couldn’t muster up the intestinal fortitude to do extra reps. 1-leg leg press was murderous. I pussed out on DC stretches. On the plus side, I think the single leg work will be useful in bringing up my lagging left side. Time to put this behind me and move on.

Fasted training again today. I seriously can’t wait for football season to be over in Norman so I can train normally. lol. I broke through a lot of plateaus and felt pretty good. I think I’ll be switching to a dip machine for better control of the movement.

Training with nothing in my stomach at all would make me feel like passing out, I hate training hungry.

If I were you I would just do those Saturday workouts every time you go to the gym, you will pull mad bitches with your swole gunz and ripped abz.

I have 30g of BCAA before and during the workout. It’s not that bad. You get used to it eventually, but training non-fasted is so much better.

Dude, I do do this workout everyday, I just don’t write it down because it’s too embarrassing. I call it high-frequency-active rest-weak-point-specific-specialization-using-the-Black-Ops-BCAA-protocol. Stole a few theories from Christian Thibaudeau, no big deal. Don’t forget about my shredded high calves. Hoes be mirin’.
