Thanks for the compliment. I’ve still got a ways to go though my friend! But I have the feeling moving up a weight class is going to really improve my potential. I just might not be as fast in hockey anymore.

reverse db lunges right leg- bw x 10 / 50 x 10

kettlebells are gone for now so had to make due with dumbbell. They suck balls for swings.
Oh, and I’m not doing the BBB challenge since I still want to shoot for rep PRs, but I will be incorporating some of the BBB template like I did with front squats the other day.
I think you would be a good 165er.

I just got a job at Quiznos! Subs everyday! My goal was to get to 170 in weight this year. I don’t think it is too late to make it there.

Are you saying we’re official? 
You have to buy me dinner first.

4/6 - Saturday - Extra stuff
rower- timer never started on display, so not sure how long or how many meters I did.
seated cable row- 75 x 10 x 5
behind back wrist curls- 45 x 50,25,25
preacher bench reverse wrist curls- 40 x 25,15,10 I think…
db swing / ab wheel
35 x 15 x 3 / 15 x 3 went lighter on swings due to hockey
hockey game- 15-17 minutes of ice time. 1 primary assist.
Definitely should’ve had a few more helpers but I made some bad passes. Had a couple of decent shots that didn’t find their way in too. We won though so whatever.
I know that feeling staying down there that long, Mighty. Especially when it is a max effort lift it sucks hard to have to stay tight that long in the hole and you want to get out of there the moment you get to it.
Forget doing paused squats for ME! lol. I was pretty humbled by how difficult it was as that was the first time I had paused so long on low bar squats. It was probably around a 5-6 second pause.
I’m considering doing the Anabolic Diet for Powerlifters. I’m all about eating fat and protein so I think I can handle it without any issues. I noticed just in this first week of trying to gain weight that I already look a little soft.
It’s normal to look soft when you add calories. Every time I add 150-200 calories when my weight gain/strength increases slow down I get soft and bloated for a week or two, but I have a lot more energy, and get stronger. 
[b]4/8 - Monday - Press C8W2[/b]
Saw Jurassic Park in 3d at the IMAX today. It was pretty sweet!

I DOUBT YOU’RE GETTING SOFT YOU NINNY!! HA-HA.
Think about how strong you are compared to your weight? No wayyy going up to 148+++ could result in softness with your activity level etc…
[b]4/9 - Tuesday - Deadlift C8W2[/b]
Did things different with the deadlift. Trying to keep the volume up, so instead of 5s I did my work sets with triples including 4 top sets to get quality reps in. I think it may be a nice way to get more volume in without killing myself all the time on the last set. I couldve done 10-12 reps today probably.
Deadlift:
145 lb x 5
185 lb x 5
215 lb x 3
235 lb x 3
270 lb x 3
305 lb x 3 x 4
Front Squat:
95 lb x 10 x 5
Holds(worked up to this weight)
255 x 30 seconds, 15 seconds.
Had to stop because it was killing my left clavicle. Gotta adjust how I hold it somehow.
Manual Leg Curl on calf raise:
5 x 5
