Nearly died today…
As I went for the jerk motion on my 240lb lift, the bar barely went passed my head as it began to come straight back down with no intention of stopping. Luckily, my friend helped me land it on my shoulders to do a back squat and put it down… Serious scare though, I was shaking after that…
Otherwise, I weighed in at 260lbs even yesterday in my workout gear, Nike Frees, t-shirt and shorts. So I assume I’m closer to 255lbs minus all my food and water as well. I’ve leaned out a bit since I was at 266lbs which is fine by me. This year will not be my 300lb year, that’s for sure.
I’m happy with my results over the fall and winter, I’ve gone up leaps and bounds, but now my body is telling me to relax a bit with certain lifts. So, I will listen and I’m not going to go nuts on heavy deadlifts and squats for a while which were my #1 goal for a while. Now I’m setting it more towards my bench, staying with the heavy singles for a while and going as high up as I can before I stall there too. It might not be the most efficient thing to do, but it’s working for now.
well goodluck to all the guys that want to be 300lbs
haha i actually need to lean up because i went from 295 to 235 then eventually 330 lol over the past few years
i might decide to keep a log aswell to try an get back to a solid 300 even for playing weight
haha yeah my hs wrestling coach use to hate me,he was also my d-line coach so it was always gain weight lose weight
pretty tough
but yea man you have a good diet and descent workout routine are you taking any mass stacks

That 500lb deadlift did NOT want to move today. It was frustrating as hell, especially since I had a crowd waiting for me to pull it up! There were even two smokin’ milfs who were in awe of 5 plates sitting on a barbell. Much to my dismay, I couldn’t get the barbell more than 6 inches off the ground on my last try.
Damnit… Next week, I’ll make sure the first time wasn’t a fluke.
damn bro couldnt come clutch for the milfs
i feel your pain not!!lol just messin
hopefully next time goes perfect
Hah, hopefully!
405lbs was still impressive enough for them though. Not to mention I made the whole place laugh when I dropped a painful one liner on our local annoying pink shirt, chicken leg, annoying gym guy.
As for my mass stacks that you mentioned earlier, do you mean what supplements I take?
yeah,i was curious on what you were taking…well hell im curious of what everyone is taking haha and keep posting your progress…
shit i would track my progress from the last 2 months but it would look like this…wake up eat some oatmeal take some vitamins…eat a cup of noodles because im a poor college student haha hit the bench thats in my front yard because before this week no gym mem…
an then take these protein packs i bought at the 99cent store then eat dinner an thats it repeat 4-5 days a week and for some freakishly reason im back to benching around 400…now just imagine if i got that 1 gram of protein for lb of body weight lol
but yeah this monday im starting to do everything right…gonna train for mass an hopefully with the muscles everything gets stronger…and im actually going to have a total body split an do everything properly
i want to compete at a meet about 275
plus it will help me out during football
oh and i forgot after dinner being the sugar freak i am devour a whole box of lil debbies honey buns or gummy worms lol just horrible
no wonder how i went from 235 to 325 the last 2 years

Welcome to my life. Sometimes, a 350 deadlift is easy peasy. Other times (mainly during competition, or when the coach is watching), it’s glued to the floor.
As I’m going raw for my next couple of comps, I’ll be doing a lot of pulling from a platform of some sort to help my ability to break it off the floor.

Simple stuff really, most of my money is going into my new car fund right now. So my list as of now is:
Whey Isolate
Creatine Monohydrate
Omega3 Fish Oil
BCAAs
Caffeine
Dextrose
That’s all I use, and if you’re interested my PWO shake is
48g Whey Isolate
5g Creatine
10g BCAAs
1 Heaving scoop of Dextrose (Not sure how many Gs it is, but I use one of the scoops from the larger protein containers)
My pre/ during workout shake is
35g Whey Isolate
5g BCAAs
1/3 scoop of Dextrose
Also, every morning and night I take 4 Omega3 tablets which rounds out to a total of 4g of Omega3 from tabs daily.
Next week, I’m punching that bar in the face. Seriously, I’m going to draw a face on it, punch it, deadlift it, and laugh in the face that I drew and punched.
…
thats pretty good bro keep up the good work
