Damn, Ddot, you’re getting really cut. Any squats or DL during this period?[/quote]
Yessir. I threw some Reverse Band Box(Bench) squats last Sunday. Worked up to 405 x 2. There will be deadlifting tomorrow.
And thanks for the compliment. I am pretty close to rock bottom so the rebound IS COMING!!!

Your cheat meal still cracks me up but your hard work is certainly paying off, wish I had half your dedication to diet. I try real hard and eat decent but you take it to another level.

That was one epic cheat meal!
and jesus your abs are cut. no carbs at all? I would shoot myself. but that’s why you have abs and I don’t.
firefighter girl sounds awesome!
Thanks nlmain! I am still plugging away.
My erector spinae are torched this morning. Uncomfortable to sit in my work chair. Maybe I should go home and rest. 
I like that back day but I would have damn sure started with Deads first. Otherwise I’d have died.
I can’t do deads first and then have a strong back day. I especially cannot do BO Rows after Deads. Not when I was in my 20’s and certainly not in my mid 30’s.
If strength was goal #1 like you, then obviously deads go first but you’d have to make the rows chest-supported.
PS: That was a low volume day for me.
Had to get shoulders done quickly last night before volleyball.

Decent session. FF Girl asked for a spot. Mad MY Day but then again, it doesn’t take much these days.
Great work in here. Just getting caught up and you’re making real progress. I was looking for the before pics but couldn’t find them (I didn’t look that hard though).
Joe - you’re a powerlifter, you don’t have back days do you? I mean those are a bodybuilder thing…

I think that’s pretty impressive. 50 reps would take me twice as many sets.
What’s the most you’ve done in one go?

I think 15. For that day I think I did 10/9/8/8/8/7.
watched the IDFA yesterday and the winner had beautiful stage presence, wonderful grace and sportsmanship. It went beyond the abs, something about the way he posed was dancer-like fluid. Couldn’t take my eyes of him.

Do you recall his name? Posing is definitely an art form. Takes a lot of practice. A friend of mine competed yesterday in Windsor, ON. He finished 2nd in the HW class.
Feel like complete ass!
Suggestion for those who may lack common sense like me.
Don’t do GVT with a head cold.

Felt good 1/2 way through, felt like dying at the end.
Just had a 20 minute nap and am now cooking my own CDN Thanksgiving meal while anxiously awaiting the Pats-Jets game.
Haha…yeah, that’s very sage advice. I’ve done it with bad allergies and it’s just miserable. You are an absolute glutton for punishment good sir!

8x10x225 on squats looks pretty sucky. Good job.
