cav - thanks, I appreciate it. Yeah, thinking about competing at some point. I’m no where near where I want to be. At work, I’m lucky enough to have so much work that I can choose who I want to retain as a client.
Lula - you’re right, I need to look at it different. Only 6 more weeks until I go to four work days a week for the rest of 2012. That sounds way better.

Awesome tricep exercise - smith machine incline JM presses with mini - monster bands. The bands really changed the feel. ddot, I think you would like this one.
ddot - Peeled or just tightening up? What’s the plan?
Matty - thanks dear friend, I struggle with this stuff. People disappoint me. Dogs sure are nice though, huh?

tired today - everything felt super heavy.
wt has been stalled in the low 190’s. I feel like a bloated hog, so I talked to John about leaning out in the near future. He would like to me add another 5lbs first. I’m going to take one for the team and get these next 5 lbs even though I am already uncomfortable at my current weight. I am very tempted to add these 5 lbs in the next week just to get it over with. just kidding but kinda not.

i did that for you. fish and vegetables. it’s my secret. (kidding but not)
it’s true, gravity was working extra hard on the 13th.
did you know it’s going to be warmer here than in vegas next week? guess how happy that makes me!
know what does make me happy though? picturing you lining up your pups on that bench to take that picture in your avi. for some reason, that scenario just makes me laugh every time.

As for the DLs, you look like you’re trying to shrug them at the top. Was that intentional?[/quote]
Cav, although the similarities are striking between myself and the huge dude in the video, the guy in the video is nowhere near as handsome as me (sorry John). lol
The video is of John Meadows performing reeves deadlifts with a deliberate shrug at the top.

It’s an honest mistake, most of the guys on this site are so big and strong.
Double check those 4 lbs, might just be random fluctuations.
Pics - Same body weight 194 - 1 yr and 4 months apart. Critique away.
*didn’t have time to put on my cover up undies and yes, that is my bicycle parked in my living room.
thanks matty, that’s better.
ddot, funny guy huh? lol.
sundown - don’t do it. resist the temptation.
You know what I notice about that video, only one person is pushing hard.
