Deadlift 435*8 (with straps) (I looked forward for 3-4 reps). 500 is very very near I can sense it
I am not that happy about that because I pulled something in my spine. I hope it will be gone in two weeks when I will start another 531 cycle

Hey guys. How long did it take for you to pull 315? Curious.[/quote]
I had a decent amount of training behind me before I ever started doing dead lifts. I wouldnt call it the highest quality years of training ever, but training nonetheless. I actually started doing dead lifts a little over 2 years ago, and it took me about 3 months before I pulled 315 for the first time. At that time I weighed roughly 189 and had 4 so-so years of training behind me.
I remember you said you have a dog. I been walking my new pup in the morning for 30mins. Morning fasted cardio kicks major ass. My question comes on the night time walks. These tend to be 45mins to an hour.
When my wife asks me to walk him at night, should I walk him before the gym, drink a shake and hits teh weights. Or should I lift, eat and then walk, in your opinion?
Thanks Stu.[/quote]
Well, I’ve never actually considered walking my pup cardio, simply because it’s so much starting then stopping, starting then stopping (then pissing). When I do incorporate morning cardio, I usually take her out 1st, (maybe 15 min), then do my 20 min easy incline walking on the treadmill before breakfast. When I do interval work though, it’s in the evenings, the same time as I would normally do my weight sessions, so I usually eat something 45 mins - an hour before (P+F).
Bottom line though, and Jim Cordova is big on this, is that doing cardio in the evening, after your last feeding for the day, will have a profound effect on your level of leanness over time. So if leaning out is the goal, I’d take the pooch out after the gym, and after the feeding.

It was a good lift for me until I got injured. I cleared that weight the first year of training. Getting over 405 took longer and then I got injured. For bodybuilding purposes I would opt to implement the rack pull.
Incline bench 3X7 275 - first time I’ve done any incline in about 24 weeks.
High rows 3X10 135 per side
3 board pause reps flat bench 3X7 315
One armed rows - machine 135 per side - dislocated my thumb last night and gripping a dumbell was too much.

I know of him stopping by on one of the past versions of the BOI.

I think the story of him leaving the site had to with him and another member getting into it in the politics and religion form, it’s too bad he left.

You got that right!
I just got done shoveling the snow from last night that wasn’t even forcasted (about 4"). We’re getting ready to just get DUMPED on.
I’m still doin’ my shoulders tomorrow, bitches!
BTW, I follow this thread but don’t post because I post in my log and don’t really want to post workouts twice. If anyone gives a rat’s ass, my log is here:
Just finished my first week back after my very first ever “deload week” It was very strange forcing myself to keep the weights low and took some getting used to. It is also very hard for me to eat properly when I’m not into it 100% in terms of intensity at the gym. I actually tend to have this problem in that even on my off days I eat a little shittier then on training days.
However, it does have its benefits after some getting used to. I will be able to keep the calories a bit lower and use this short week as a change of pace using different approaches in my workouts. Higher volume and more fast-paced. Also get to hit things I usually skip which I know I shouldn’t lol.
Anyways, hoping to be able to post some PR’s in the upcoming cycle. Keep lifting big boys.
