What’s wrong with rainbows?
Nice job on the deadlift. 465 is my personal goal by the end of my sophomore year.

NOTES: Workout was actually pretty fast/smooth today, except for a small period when I talked to a kid about changes his rep ranges and stuff to keep form plateauing. It’s funny how I tell him that but I can’t seem to do it myself
Bench has been doing pretty well lately, though.

Wasn’t feeling it at all today. Did three other exercises but no PRs. I’m thinking now that school is on I need to back off the training. I hardly ever have free time and school work is getting a bit stressful. Might switch over to 5/3/1 or something instead of this trying to lift every day thing I’m doing

No worries man. As long as it wasn’t a form issue, you shouldn’t feel down. If the effort and technique is there, you’re gonna get it

NOTES: Purty good. I’m doing KU’s strength club competition on November 13th so I plan on training until a week or a bit less out and then deloading for a few days. I HOPE to pull 500, my best is 460 last week but without chalk. I think I can get it. Definitely by the end of the year, though
I’d be ecstatic if chalk added 40 lbs to my max…![]()
Looks like you’re still killing it man, love the videos.
Noticed your using a belt on deads…I’m very inexperienced with belts…can you pull more with it or is it mainly a preventative tool?

NOTES: I was honestly almost shaking when I first showed up. I was feeling great before, then when I walked in the gym I felt like I hadn’t eaten in weeks. I knew after that PR on incline that I was done. I pulse fasted yesterday so that might be it. I only had one meal today and it was before my morning class. Time to eat

It just might man. I pulled 455 (chalk) and it was almost cake, then I pulled 460 the next session without it and it was TOUGH

Thanks man! I still feel like the weak kid wherever I go so motivation is still there
I don’t think the belt helps much on deads to be honest, but it helps a ton on squats. I just like wearing it when I can cause’ I paid for it and I feel like a beast putting it on

Looks like your training is still going well. Keep it up man.
Nice benching man.
So, what does a typical day of eating look like for you?

Thank, bud! Need to change things up for my bench though, cause progress on that has been pretty embarrassing lately. I’m looking into Poliquin’s GVT with strength emphasis (10 sets of 5)

Thanks man. Well it depends, somedays I go lower carb, some days I carb it up (today is one :))
Lowish Carb Day
Breakfast
3-4 tablespoons of Natty PB
1.5-2 scoops whey
banana
Meal 2
same thing without the banana
add broccoli
Peri-Workout
70-100g carbs from dextrose (Gatorade powder)
50g whey (or 2 scoops Anaconda and 1 scoop MAG-10 if it’s a leg day)
Post-WO
160-200g chicken
a good amount of fat from either EVOO or more PB (I LOVE PB!)
broccoli
Meal 4
1-2 scoops whey or chicken
EVOO or PB
broccoli
Meal 5 (a little before bed)
1 scoop casein or whey (don’t really care much if it’s casein cause I also eat fat here)
4 tbs flax seeds or 2 tbs PB
Carb
Breakfast
1 cup dry oats
1.5 scoops whey
banana
Meal 2
same, or a PB&J or two with a scoop of whey (sugar free jelly with added fiber, natty PB)
PeriWO
Same
PostWO
chicken sandwich with fruit (or same as breakfast)
Meal 4
PB&J or two and scoop of whey
Meal 5 (a bit before bed)
same as low carb
Supplements I take

0.5g Vit C (1 with meal 2, 1 with postWO meal)
Fish Oil (4 gels with breakfast, 2 gels for each meal after)
Pre-WO stimulant
That’s it lol. I’m lowering cals a bit because I’ve been stuffing my face for the past 1.5 years almost and it gets really old. I get in a 3K a day but have lost a bit over 10 pounds in the last few weeks. I don’t get as many calories on off days because I’m not drink my peri-workout stuff and that’s a solid 500-600 calories.
That might have been more than you were asking for lol, but if your honestly curiously about something I didn’t get just let me know ![]()

Thanks for sharing. Peanut butter is just so awesome. I remember not too long ago, I’d make two peanut butter sandwiches (natty PB) with a shitload of it on them; the sandwiches were probably over 1/2 an inch tall and they could net an easy 500 cals a piece. I’d eat those, washing it down with as much milk as needed (which was evidently a lot, lol). Throw in a banana or two, and I’m good to go. I haven’t been doing that anymore because I don’t have any natural peanut butter ATM, and only the shitty regular garbage. I’ve been eating a lot of whole nuts lately. I’ll get some more good PB sooner or later, though.
Good job on the rack pull and bathroom PR.
P.S. Squat Rack Curls? Lol, you must be reported to the SRC forum. ![]()
