yeh deads are like that, pull 450 one week can barely crack 430 the next its a little crazy dont let it eat you to much, question are dead skulls just skull crushers done from pins?[/quote]
Deadstop skullcrusher/pullovers from either the floor behind your head when lieing down, or behind your head on a bench. They are easier on the elbows IMO. I can’t do regular skullcrushers.

mmmmmm, have you tried them on a decline, not going to the skull but to pretty far behind the head? those dont stress my elbows nearly as much as regular flat skull crushers and i can use more weight as well
I forgot to mention in the other thread like 6 weeks ago, I have no real problem with skinny jeans man, and I apologize if you were offended.
I tend not to judge people based on how they dress outside of some ball busting, which is all I was doing.
I meant to reply to your post, but forgot to in the midst of making myself laugh.
Keep kicking ass man.

Dude, I don’t care. haha. If I cared about how people thought about the way I dressed I wouldn’t dress the way I do.
Kicking ass is getting harder these days, school is tearing me apart.
Deload:
Squat:
barx5
135x5
185x3
225x1
275 1x5 just belt
275 1x5 belt+ wraps
this felt wayyy heavier then it should have
135 2x10
Pin GMs
135x8
belt
185 2x8
hanging leg raises 2x15
1 mile on the eliptical
feeling beat up…
I think I’m gonna drop the Gms and just do
Squat 5/3/1
squat 2x10
abs
cardio
I could switch the 2x10 squat to a low box squat though for a little more pchain involvement. IDK. I need to reduce my training volume or I’m gonna regress. I don’t get enough sleep during the school year.

Personally, in my limited experience, I find if I can reach the whole “alone in a crowded gym” state of mind, I can use my outside stress to improve my lifts. But if I can’t block out the shit going on around me… fogetaboutit.
But yeah, life stress is a bitch, what cha gonna do?

It’s not even just the stress, it’s the getting 4 hours of sleep being a lot for me on a school night, it’s waking up at at 5:45 every morning, it’s getting fucked over with food, etc. I don’t have the recovery abilities I had during the summer.

135x9 military today
385x5 deadlift sans straps and on a shitty day last friday. I’ve pulled that weight for liek twice as many reps with straps. 
Idk. Thinking about switchign to CCs 5/3/1 template but keeping strongholds straight set ideas for the assistance.
Been down and out. I’ll get back into my log again.
Come on man! There is some big PRs to be had. There is some big numbers just around the corner for you just keep at it.

I’m aware. Life has been one hell of a drag recently, and it’s affecting my gym performance. It’s not even that I’m not busting the same amount of ass I was during summer, it’s just that I’m worn down. I’ve got some protein on the way so that makes me happy, and lets me improve my recovery a little bit more, which should help.
squat 320x6 yesterday
Today:
bench 205x8 PR +1 rep with closer grip
DB bench
50 3x10 (PR)
Machine rows
170 4x10
can up the weight on this. easy
Laterals
2x20 20
been missing my bench presses by failing to lock out my right arm on the last rep. It sucks
7 days. Where you at?
You really think a log like this is going to go away. Also, reading the last 10 pages of your old log and this new one I didn’t see what was stopping your bench. You said your shoulder hurt, what happened?
Bring this shit back, brotha!!!
I can do that I guess. I’ve mostly been conversing with people about lifting via facebook.
Here’s to yesterday:
360/230/465
