Nice PR man.

Seein a grand squatted in person is a surreal experience.

Awesome squatting, brosephine. Mad jelly over here, that you got to see a 1000# squat though, damn!

Did you hug the guy afterwards?

You’re getting strong real fast man. Westside seems to be working out great for you. Keep up the good work!

Thanks guys. Yeah, seeing the grand was nuts!

Awesome squatting, definitely jelly of your ability to squat properly! All kinds of gainz up in hurr.

It seems the short hair has yielded major gains. Well done my son.

Another solid squat, another solid beard in the video. I’m telling you man, there’s something to it. Once you can grow facial hair, you’ll PR through the roof!

Hahaha thanks guys! Short hair beard PR’s will be unstoppable! Ya thats my training partner, has a pretty sweet beard goin.

NOTES: Pretty good DL night. The 400 felt pretty good, need to let my arms ‘hang’ more. After the 6th rep of the 315 dropset I was seeing stars. Still a little beat from the ME squats on monday but things felt good overall. Heavy box pulls on monday so didn’t do too much accessory work. Big bench rep day tomorrow!

Dude, high rep deadlifts are killer. I did a 12 rep set yesterday, and had the exact same feeling. After 5 or 6 reps you do a gut check, form goes out the window (at least mine did), and every muscle is under distress until you take you stop.

Solid. Looking a little bit bigger too.

Nice tugs brother! 400 is starting to look like baby weight in your hands. DEM GAINZ.
