Who was driving? 
I see you like Ross. What books have you got from him? Have you seen the new DVD he’s got?
Nice work, sayjin, It looks like you got it moving pretty good!

I have both Infinite Intensity and Never Gymless, as well as the conditioning DVD that he released back in November. Now that I cut all my hair off too, I can finally fit the beanie that I ordered too, lol. Are yuo a fan as well?

Yeah I did, but after I got it up and over the incline gravity took over and I had to cut off the camera, open the car door and hit the break before the car hit the curb, lol.
Next time i’ll either have a partner, or put the camera inside of the car on the dash instead of on the roof.
Tomorrow I start keeping track of my food intake again. I also got the OK from Shugs to eat as much freaking broccoli as I want. I was worried about the sugar found in my bags of frozen broccoli, but was told not to worry about it anymore.
I’m also going to record my deadlift tomorrow for a form check, so please feel free to let me know how I’m looking.
Hey Rayjin Sayjin nice work on the car push. I had to watch the video twice trying to figure it out, because the hood of your car looked like a big puddle of water, because of the reflection, and it kept moving, so I was confused lol, but I got it now.
The committee gives you two thumbs up, nice work, have a good week!

Thanks Qaash, I’ll be sure to check it out. How are things going for you these days?
Meal 1 - 2 scoop Low-Carb Metabolic Drive, 1 low carb tortilla
Meal 2 - 4oz steak
Meal 3 - 4oz steak, 3 cups broccoli, 2 tbsp EVOO
Periworkout - 1/2 scoop grow, 15g glutamine, 25g BCAA
Meal 4 - 3oz chicken breast, broccoli, 1tbsp EVOO, 1oz almonds
Meal 5 - 3oz chicken breast, 1 low carb tortilla, 2tbsp omega 3 peanut butter
Meal 6 - 1 scoop Low-Carb Metabolic Drive, 1 serving Superfood, 1tsp fish oil.
Squat - 320 (3x5)
No deadlifts of benching today. On the last rep of my final set of squats, I went too low and hit the safety bars, deloading all of that weight and pinning me under it. I couldn’t very well get from under the bar, so I gave it all I had to get it back up on the rack. I eventually got it back up there, but its feels like I pulled a major cramp in my lower back. I didn’t want to push my luck after making such progress so I just called it for the day. I’m going to head home and lay on the heating pad while doing some reading after I get off work tonight and see how I feel in the morning.

Probably foolish pride on my part, lol. Had it been anything but the last rep I most likely would have, but I didn’t want to fail on the last freakin rep! My back is actually back to normal now, and I went back to the gym on my lunch break to get a deadlift video.
Deadlift Form Check - 295
look forward man
you can probably get 315lbs up
Yeah I’ve gotten 315 up for a single rep before, but it was a nut buster. I definately find DLs more difficult than squats.

Actually, you want to keep your head in line with your spine, NOT looking up, that will keep you from rounding you back.

So essentialy I should just keep my head looking down, since when I come up I’ll be looking straight ahead anyway?

Exactly…your head is in a neutral position, which will have you looking diagonally across the floor.

Awesome, thanks for the tip man!
Meal 1 - 6 eggs, 2 low carb tortillas (26g fiber)
Meal 2 - 5oz chicken breast, 2oz Almonds, 1 low carb tortilla
Meal 3 - 5oz chicken breast, 2oz Almonds, 2 cups broccoli
Meal 4 - 2 scoop Low-Carb Metabolic Drive, 1 serving Superfood, 1 tsp fish oil
Meal 5 - 1 scoop Low-Carb Metabolic Drive, 1 low carb tortilla, 2tbsp omega 3 peanut butter, 1tsp fish oil
I’ve decided to transition off from my low carb diet. I’m really serious about putting on mass soon, and from what I’ve been reading its way too difficult for what its worth to try and do it while in a ketogenic state. For starters, I’m going to include 25g of carbs during my workouts and 25g PWO and do that for a week or two and see how my body reacts, and go from there.
Meal
Squat - 325 (3x5)
Military Press - 130 (3x5)
Pendlay Row - 160 (3x5)
My knees are really starting to get sore after all this squating, so I’m going to start just going to parallel instead of ATG and see how they respond.
Today was a big prep day as well. I went to the grocery store and bought about 3lbs of almonds and I measured out 2oz servings and put them in baggies, and I baked a whole bag of Meijer frozen chicken breasts and steamed a 20 serving bag of frozen broccoli. I also went around and wrote the foods that I eat on a consistent basis down and I’m going to upload them into fitday tomorrow.
