overall a great day! Set up the squats a little diff for video purposes really like how the video turned out hope you guys do! Ill post it up in a bit, feeling VERY SICK these past couple days, idk wtf is up!!! Still got in and got it done today tho, everyone looked good and kicked ass, really pushing hard, hoping to get feeling better really soon as well, oh and as for being clean well i ran into some gear so i started back up, no sense in slowing down, I talked to a lot of close friends and a lot of ppl i trust and they advised me if i want to keep progressing to use minimal gear but dont come off until i decide i dont want to be competitive anymore, and this old dog has a few more tricks he needs to show before he lays down…itching to get back on the platform or do a strongman meet 
Having a great time training lately, were gonna try to build/buy some strongman devices and start fucking around with that some i think, should be fun!!! Hope everyone’s doing well and staying TIGHTTTTTT! Have a good one peeps!
oh…and dont wear fucking skinny jeans for the love of God,

This is the most I’ve had on my back since my original injury. I re-injured my back a month or so ago with 385x3 so, this is an improvement. Still going to the chiropractor, hoping to stay healthy. I’m trying to lose weight but, haven’t made any real progress yet. Proud of my gym-mates!
The only thing between OHP and I are a couple pharmacology and epidemiology assignments!!! T-MINUS 4 hours, gentlemen!!!

nice
It’s probably becasue it is late and I need to sleep but, I really want to train with the Captains of Crush and maybe try to get the #3 and #4 certificate? idk. just a late night though. Any readers (what few we have) have any idea of the process to get certified? That sounds wrong but, idk what else to call it.
edit: I looked up how the certification works. Guess I’ll have to order a few other grippers and start playing around with them a bit. It would be pretty awesome to get a certification on the #3. For men, they will allow you to certify on the #3, #3.5, and the ungodly #4.

Very happy with today. 385x5 made me happy but, 400 for 1 meant more to me. Just one step closer to the elusive 405 bench. Like PC mentioned, I really want to get certified with the Captains of Crush. I’m going to order a # 1, 2, and 2.5 soon. A # 3 is within sight, it’s just going to take work, of course. Very proud of my gym mates. Hope everyone will post their logs.

Todday was kinda an off day for me, i felt bad going in, sick, humidity, heat, attitude, etc, just couldnt focus and couldnt get pumped up to over head press, everyone still kicked ass and trained very hard, we usually do a lot of diff small exercises or pump exercises on this day which i do not feel is over training, everyone is pushing hard and im pleased with the progress, really gonna focus on this damn over head press and try to get that to go up along with grip, hope everyone’s doing well
