Oh, yeah, ‘steak’ is a given, although I was disappointed with ‘second breakfast’. I only managed to down 1/2 of the strip steak and a potato. I’ll get caught back up with ‘first lunch’.
sounds like another bulking phase…like the first 46 years of my life

Whew! Well, squats were brutal tonight for a “week 1”. Had inspiration to do ZSquats for some reason. They felt GREAT. These need to come back into rotation.
Calf raises: Not the heaviest, but I was shedding some built up tension from what’s become a VERY long work week for me. Intensity was there. I couldn’t stand up after the last set, and my legs were twitching on the drive home, which made for some interesting acceleration patterns.
Vids:
Looks like that guy wanted some of your squat magic, because that certainly wasn’t a spot.
Now that was some truly awesome training!
You, sir, are a squatting machine.
great training Man O’ Steel!!!
Zerchers are looking strong.
My God, I can’t walk this morning. Totally feel like a truck hit me. LOL!
Thanks guys
ecosteve, someone else wants the oily rags!
WTF!! Now I have to really try hard to catch you with the zerchers! Great training SD.
MJ, I’m keeping the rags to dry my zercher envy tears.
Strong lifting!!

Quickie tonight. Changed up a bit and started with laterals and r.delts. Hit 2 pr’s with good form on the lat raises, likely because I put them first versus the presses, which were much lower tonight (weight and reps), but that’s OK. I may proceed like this for a month or so depending on noticeable progress.
Shrugs felt good, no leg drive, mini pauses, like 1-2 seconds to get the reps in.
Nice work, you must have cannon balls for shoulders now.
Side raises @ 65 jeebus, If I go above 25 i am crippled.
Thats massive shoulder work, SD, massive.
I have found the secret in the past few months.
Potatoes.
I’ve eaten a potato with every meal on workout days and I just have so much more explosion and energy with my workouts. I think I’ve grown enough and cleaned up the diet (mostly) enough that my metabolism can utilize the carbs when working out.
I also started taking digestive enzymes around the same time to help digest all this freakin food I’m eating. I can’t prove it, but I think they’ve made a huge difference. Addionally, less gas, less stomach acid. THOSE I can attribute directly to d.e.
