you do work son!! lol. congrats on the dead-lift PR. you’ve officially passed me up on deadlift 
@Justice - Yeah my form could have been much better, but it was a hug friggin’ PR for me lol. Especially in 7 days 
@Ben - Thanks for stopping in! Turn that frown upside down and catch me!
Hoss where you train at when not at the KU rec?
yeah, i decided to be dumb for the last couple months and cut down to 170. helps the hops. im on my way back tho. im gonna pass you up on bench before christmas evil grin
@ boarderkid: Well KU has a REC center that every student gets access to. i prefer to go there for benching just because it’s an ego lift, and there are lots of good looking ladies around haha. But there’s also a Strength Club weight room in another spot on campus that only a few, serious guys go to. When I’m at home for holidays or anything like that, I go to the Andover’s YMCA. It’s pretty nice
Are you in college?
@ Ben: I wouldn’t be surprised, my bench has been pretty crappy the past month or so. I haven’t gained any scale weight, I hope this isn’t the problem, I’m sick of force feeding myself. Been doing it for over a year now lol
Larry-
yeah I go to Ku too I hate that the rec only has two damn squat racks and everyone there is pretty much as smart as a ham sandwich. Love to train love to lift heavy shit where can I get info about the strength club?
Thanks man!

Badass, man! Are you a first year? Yeah i just got back from the rec. It wasn’t too crowded but I just don’t like lifting there sometimes. I go to the weight room in Robinson. It’s $35 a semester and the hours are:
Monday 3-6
Wednesday 3-6
Thursday 4-7
Saturday 12-3
The only thing that the rec center has that Robinson doesn’t is the leg press machine, a few Hammer Strength machines, and the ladies lol
That sounds badass but the times are horrible for me! where is the room and who do I pay?
Thanks man!

If you walk in to Robinson through the main doors next to the tennis courts, turn to the left and it just down that hallway. It is split into two rooms: one is full of power racks and DBs, the other has cardio equipment and machines. You’ll be able to see the cardio room to your left right when you walk in. I’ll send you a PM with the guy’s e-mail that runs it. His name is Mike. If you just tell him I told you, and you won’t to get FREAK STRONG with other serious guys, he’ll be excited lol.
That sounds awesome man thanks! I saw in one of your vids yall got some chains there?!

Yeah man it’s awesome. There are chains, chalk, EZ-Bars that we use for farmer walks, and a stereo to blast whatever metal or other music you like to listen to lol. Kettle bells if you’re into that, some boxes for box jumps, and GOOD power racks with adjustable catches.
Oh yeah, and bumper plates. i hate deadlifting at the rec now because of using these. You can’t slam the weight down at the rec like you can in Robinson
I meant form looked good for the weight.

Hey man, on your military I notice a couple of things. First, you have a really tiny push at the beginning of the movement to get a little momentum going. Second, you need to work on pushing your head/neck through. It’ll help move the bar more in line with your spine and be more vertical, allowing for an easier lockout. Great job

Bike Intervals

NOTES: Gonna keep the intervals going after every leg session and make sure I’m not force feeding myself like I have been. I should be able to lean up a bit pretty easily. I tried keeping elbows tucked in today on squats and it was much better than last session. Still some work to do but I felt MUCH more comfortable today so I’m pleased

Thanks buddy. I know I have a slight momentum from the bottom but it’s nothing crazy and it just kind of gets me in my groove. I feel like I’m trying to stick my head through the “window” I hear about but I definitely need a little more work. I haven’t done standing in over 3 months lol. Thanks for the tips man, I appreciate it

I’m sorry man, my YMCA back in my home town even has two power racks lol. They have those and an “olympic” platform, but it doesn’t have bumper plates so it might as well be another power rack lol
Nice progress.
You might consider using small heeled shoes instead of chucks for squats.

NOTES: Still just wasn’t feeling it today. I’m never in my “destruct everything in my way” mode anymore. I need to go back to blasting the same Cd and giving everyone the “don’t talk to me” glare like I used to. At least for my first heavy exercise. Yesterday was terrible cause I found out this girl I’ve been getting to know has a boyfriend. But then today was fine because I realized, I’m in college, and I should be boning whatever is in sight for the next two years. Kind of lol
