Titan Tim’s Thighs Too Thick
God this is such a smart move I WISH I had figured out at your age. You still get the grind, but you don’t put NEAR as much stress on your connective tissues.
Strong deadlift, dude. Five plates will definitely be there soon.

I forgot the plate pinches, so I will make up the work on RE Upper.
I’d kill for a second job right now, where I could pick up new valuable and transferable skills.
Skills that could be transferred to my primary career or to something else on the side.
I want something, but I don’t know what that something is…just feeling very ambitious and desire meaningful practical experience to learn to develop new skills.
Ever since learning more about project management (construction), I’ve grown interests in how someone manages money in a business aspect.

My roommate and some dude were double teaming some chick last night from like 12 am - 3 am. So much slurping and slapping noises…
I’m glad I bought those ear plugs 2 weeks ago.

I have PTO, so I got this out of the way in the morning and went food shopping. In addition, I don’t have my 4:30-7:15 pm and 7:30-10:15 pm classes tomorrow……training after that really sucks, so I’m glad I get a little break.
High Bar Low Box Squat
Hey how do these feel man? A lot of people have recommended I do them but still kinda 50/50 cus I barely know what it’d help with. Do you think it improves overall strength, drive out of the hole, muscle development etc.??
Hey Konsu!
Absolutely! I find box squats to be harder than regular squats.
Now if I bounced my butt off the box then it would be a useless movement.
Alright, I’m going to try it out Thursday or Sunday. I’ve seen Andrew Hause use them in his training videos as a Deadlift Assistance but I don’t know how the mechanics would aid it in a Deadlift though.
But it seems to work for a lot of people and i’m not one to leave gains on the table haha
Also Konsu, this book is an awesome resource that I use to pick variations and assistance movements towards my specific needs.
There’s a chapter in here listing strong westside dudes and their favorite exercises as well.

I was going to floor press, but I changed my mind. Hmm, I wonder if there’s a good chance I’m neglecting my chest.
Well I guess I could experiment. I’ll switch up my warmups and then compare myself now to myself during the next maintenance phase (might as well call this a slow bulk at this point lol). I’m very patient, so it will be exciting to find out if I was correct or not.
I will simply disregard my triceps as a weakness and replace my tricep warmup movements with chest ones.
Online I did read that longer limbed benchers are more tricep, shoulder dominant. It makes a lot of sense tbh.
