Did things the opposite of what I usually do, while my chest numbers suffered, my Delt numbers improved, gonna do low cable row now as a finisher to my back barbell complex on my rackpull/DL day, seems to fit better, I will finish my day 1 with pullups…hot as fuck at the gym today, almost busted my ass on my own sweat, and threw up a little in my mouth, and proceeded to swallow it…YAHTZEEEEEE!

no more benching for me for a while…my shoulder cant take it. I know your reading

96

What’s up Matt. I am reading. Good job with the puke, nice resolve.
Oh yeah, injuries and health problems suck ass.

Thanks Bro! appreciate it … gonna keep on truckin!

Need to get my DL up, started to RP again. My DL is dreadful.

99

I would think I should be able to DL 4 plates, but no luck. Truth be told I just started deadlifting again after about 4 years. Im very frustrated.

Please be aware I do not think these videos are impressive, I just never recorded myself, what better way to display em then on my own log…lol
