Thanks Major, that helps a lot. There’s so many cues to go through soing this PL shit, I can ner remember all of them every time. This weekend I’ll focus on bar bending with the lats on DE day, and again next week on ME day. Thanks. And yes, that’s the guitar! I really wish he’d get back into it, and he might still someday when his life calms down to the point that he can devote 30+ hours to building something like that. He made some really amazing shit, and I’d love if he could do it again. Hey, I’d even help out for free!
Animals as leaders is the tits dude!!! fuck yeah!

Haha, you got clips for everything man. My brother recently started using “tits” in his vocab, and I’m like…wtf are you talking about? OH, you mean like “cool, sweet, something like that!”
Weirdo, maybe he’s adopted.
Well, I’m an uncle (again) after last night. My brother and his wife now have a little baby boy, so congrats to them. My wife was waiting for the mom to be all ready for visitors so she could go see him, and it took a long time after they said “Just going to get cleaned up and then you can head over”…so over 2 hours later, she got to go for a bit. I was waiting for her to come back so I could make it to the gym. I got there, but it was late, and after setting up my bands and shit for squats, it was almost 10:20 (which is when I usually leave the gym on a “late” night). BUT…I got it goin
Band Box Squats w/monster mini’s (really need more bands in my arsenal, these are a bitch to fully extend for these!)
All with bands
Bar x 10
135 x 2 x 4
145 x 2 x 4
speed speed form speed
GM’s
Bar x 8
95 x 5
135 x 5
135 x 3 Fuck these are hard for me.
RDL’s
Bar x 10
135 x 5
165 x 5
195 x 5
225 x 5 PR
Bodyweight GHR’s
10/7/5 (These were more like “assisted” with how much arm involvement I needed, hams were trashed)
Leg Press
2pps x 15
2pps + Monster Mini’s! x 10, pause, +5 more
3pps + MM’s x 10
Drop Set (Work back down each stage, last set was with 1 pps)
10/8/6/15
Holy shit I was DYING. If you’ve got bands, do these. You can hook the band to the release lever of the handles on the leg press. They’re awesome.
Leg Extension
100x15
115x15
130x15
Done. Didn’t have time for calves, as I was fucking tired. BUT, I needed gas on the way home, so I did 75 standing calf raises while the tank was filling up. 4 sets, 35/15/15/10
Done!
5 hours sleep last night, so tonight will be an off day, DE upper tomorrow sometime
Edit: For the lulz, my total poundage moved last night was OVER 9000!!
Oh, and PS…I love the looks I get training like a powerlifter. Hilarious!
PPS, checked out a potential new gym, for if we ever decide to drop this one. Much smaller, a lot less extra shit, but they’ve got a half rack on a lifting platform, a squat rack, some benches, and a LOT less people. Guy said after 8pm they’re practically empty in the “powerlifting area”. Excellent, I’ll keepo that in mind. Oh, and round plates 
Anyone do these?
I’ll see how hard it it doing them with one of my strong bands, looks awesome. He’s also got a video of setting up a cage for reverse band bench, for those interested…but he’s got 3 guys doing it, doing it solo is an art!
I’ve done band good mornings to warm up before DLs.
Setting up solo is an art, one that I’m starting to get down.
I always do band goodmornings as a warm up on a deadlift day, I think its good as an activation exercise as you can really focus on feeling your glute activation and good form while being explosive. I do them slightly different though, i lay the back of the band across the back of my shoulders, bend over and stand on the bands so they are under the arch of my feet, grabbing the bands as he does with my hands.

I think mine are like 11’s or something? It’s pathetic.
Congrats on being an uncle again. That’s awesome! Good mornings suck balls lol. I tried em a couple times and was like “eff this! I’m not lifting that. It’s heavy” lol and I just stick to reverse hypers

That’s likely impossible, you just don’t want to measure them and go “Oh shit, they ARE bigger than ink’s…I’m not the queen of the little calf group anymore…”
Damn dude, maybe I WON’T train in SD next time I’m there…
Dixie, save your plane ticket!

hahahaha we can still do some Good Mornings. I’ll suck it up when you guys get out here and throw em back int he repertoire… No but seriously… I know my calves have got to be less than 15. If I shaved my legs and wore shorts I would probably look like I had girl calfs… like, 12 year old girl calfs.
ok Ink so I just measured… just a hair under 15.5! I’m right behind ya shipmate

Dude, I hear you on the girl calf shit. I swear to god if I shaved my legs, and took a pic and posted it in SAMA under a diff name/avatar, dudes would be all "Damn girl, you got some tiny, sexy little calves on you :* "
Measure them Greg, now I have to know. (little bit of homo)
Oh, and DF would probably GM both of us, frackin monster!
Edit: same time posting! Just a hair eh? I’ll measure mine exact later, I’m probably 15 7/16" but hey, you got mad hops though
and LOL @ the “shipmate” comment!
all them boys measuring stuff getting me hot under the colla
and congrats on being a fortified uncle. that new gym sounds pretty sweet.
Hey at least ya’lls calfs look somewhat symetrical on you and being closer to 3/4 size of your quads, mine are about half the size of my quads. Makes them look smaller.
Ink i’m an uncle too, i’ll admit it feels kinda weird saying that in my mid twenties.

ok just measured… flexed right calf 15.25" I guess by “just a hair under” i meant “a quarter inch under” lulz. Also measured my arm and it wasnt even 17 anymore. I’m gonna go cry myself to sleep now

Dude, your quads are probably like 87" though, so don’t worry about it. Mine are a wee little 23, which makes me feel far inferior to someone like Veggie who’s got those rocking 26’s. Whatever…I’ll get there someday!
And I’ve been an uncle for 8 years actually, but all neices (and I only have 2 girls), so this little dude is going to be SUPER TESTOSTERONE MAN BABY, like, immediately!
