its nicest ive ever used

did this yesterday

Very impressive on the front squat. If you added a mustache to the chops, however, I’m guessing you’d be on track for an easy 400-lb front squat.

Thanks, i’ve hit 425 with wraps when I was a little heavier.

I can’t grow a mustache I am so Jewish hair refuses to grow in the middle of my lip

Shit upperbody workout, well it wasn’t that bad but i felt like crap. I really should have came home and slept. Which is what i will probably do the rest of the wee

One of my crew is doing the heavyweights in Dallas. We set up that medley this weekend and tried it. Not only is it terrible, I was the only one that completed the thing. And I was still 15 seconds slower than the 90s time limit. My hat is off to you sir.

I pushed play on all the videos on this page at the same time… I fainted… after I fapped.

Sexy work, my friend. Sexy, solid work. Kalle for world champion of my pants. (too homo?)

throw another 100 on and squat, why not?
Been front squatting but driving home the thought just bored me and putting wraps on putting heavy stuff on my back sounded more fun

Back squat

135x5
225x5
315x3

405x5 PR
315x10

Wanted more at 405 but my hamstrings felt tight

ab roll outs

+80lbs

2x12 PR

really would be nice for someone to put the weight on my back or help keep it there! this shit hurt

tabata sprints on airdyne for 6 minutes. this was hell, pure hell, i thought my legs were going to explode. I need that conditioning though yo.

Squatting brings all teh boyz to ur yard?

Sweet PR man! I gotta get a new PR now… I can’t have you strongmen out squatting me. That would get me kicked out of the PL monthly pizza parties.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
