My Journey to Getting Strong(er)

Ink, im not disregarding your advice, but my plan as Ive been doing is pausing the first rep on the 5 and 3 week and repping out. Then this coming one week im going to work up a little bit. On the bands, yeah last nights goal was doubles, im just alternating between the short bands and one long band which I do triples.

But yes, I agree, they should be fast doubles/triples. Dude that sucks about the meet, hopefully theyre just having web issues…basically my plan is to train like normal then about a week out just train the basic lifts with light weight to stay in the groove. Probably take the 2 days before the meet off. Something like that!

Dove, thanks man! Nice to see you around!

Sounds good man. Meet has been canceled officially. Just going to do the next one in March, which is the first meet I did ever, this year. I’ll expect huge meet PR’s and also coming in at a filled out 220 instead of a dehydrated and dying 198.

Nice squat PR man. I hit it for 1, you hit it for 4. Die.

Good work man… 3 plates for reps is where you start to look the bomb to most people around you. Glad your putting in the work

Hahaha thanks phlegms.

Ink, Im bummed to hear that man! You better kill some huge meet PRs in march!

Jake, thanks dude, feels good. Haha, i guess it is but its really nothing impressive at all!

Couple of random measurements.

Quads…25.5" “flexed”
Bi’s…15.5" “flexed”
Waist (around bellybutton, this is where I hold most of my fat)…39.5"

Holy shit, your quads are 2.5" bigger than mine, but my arms got you by 1.5"

We’ll ignore the waist measurement.

Problem?

Lol, its also hard to flex and measure quads at the same time so they could be a smidgen bigger who cares…ya ma’ gunz arent loaded.

Ignoring waist measurement?

U SKURRED BRO?

14.6 biceps here (Unpumped obvi) and 23 inch quads. Fml etc. etc.

Dude your getting all swole on me
