thanks mmatt! I used to play shows in a metal band around Wichita a lot, we actually recorded a cd if you want to check it out:
I played lead guitar and sang clean vocals. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but BEEP BEEP we were pretty good lol
You guys sound pretty good. I used to play drums and vocals in various metal bands back home, nothing too serious

Thanks man. Yeah I can’t tell you how fun it is to be on stage and just going nuts, not caring what anyone thinks. One time I stripped down to my underwear and ran through the crowd during a song (wireless system for my guitar). That was when I was skinny with facebook abs haha

Awesome work. I love the vids, very inspiring and instructional, well for me at least.
I’ll definetely be following your log more closely.
Hey man, just wondering why you chose box squats over free squats? Great work recently
Great log man. Awesome progress in the short time since you started. Youve inspired me to throw my log up on here because its a great way to track progress and get feedback. Great job again.

Trying to take a note from the guys at EliteFTS and Super Training Gym. They do a LOT of box squatting and only free squat right before a meet. It’s helped some so far I can tell. thanks mmatt!

For that bench bro, I like that you are using Dave Tate’s and advice and tightening everything up, but make sure you still keep your ass on the bench, or you’ll be walking like an old lady who just had anal sex with a horse.
