Thought I drop in and say great job man. I feel you on the heat. Went out at 8 last night to try and train. The thermometer in my building said 115. I said fuck that and grabbed my deadlift bar and...

I'll be getting some vid of squats and deadlifts in them tonight. I'm pretty stoked.

Got my briefs today. They would appear to be too big. So my options now are take it to a shoe repair shop or send it to a guy in dallas to have them altered. I am taking them to the gym tonight and...

I would like to stay around the same weight I am right now. That way I can cut to 198 class. I weigh between 204-208 most mornings.

Its official. Bought my first bench shirt and squat briefs. Should get here by beginning of next week. This could get interesting quick. Hopefully I can get 500 squat and 375 bench by first of the...

Kill that shit man. Awesome training.

Guy I trained with last night was deadlifting. He would pick the weight up about 2 inches hold it for a count of 7 then explode up and lock it out. Got 600lbs doing that. This was after squatting 545...

10 mins HIIT
Shoulder mobility work
Hip/low back stretches

I love deads too just not right after I squatted.

Damn I can tell I don't normally squat and deadlift in the same day. Been dragging major ass all day.

I stay really tight, probably because I sit all day at work. So if I just did a couple of warm up sets I would probably tear something.

I would use the shit out it. Especially since I'll start in the gear next week.

Normally I start with the bar for a couple of sets, then plate, quarter, plate, quarter. Instead of just adding a plate each time. More stretching and foam rolling before I squat.

Face pulls, external/internal rotator work, and use more dumbells.

Working on balancing my shoulder muscles, rotator work, and tucking my elbows when I bench is the only reason I can go that heavy. Remember the fastest way to improve your bench is to improve your...

Training is looking good. At least you have a monolift.

Todays workout.

Sounds good I appreciate it. I do think I might have found a training partner, 8 years powerlifting in and out of gear.

I like this idea alot. Maybe a single ply and open division.

Why?

The ammonia can make a big difference. I like it for my heaviest sets.

Sorry I bought a pair of used Metal Ace briefs. I should have them in by wed or thurs. Will probably squat that day and get some video.

What about deadlifting? I normally pull conventional but might be able to pull sumo with the extra support in the hips.

That squat is diesel Tjoe.

ah I forgot to mention you should never lift 5 days before the meet.

haha Shouldn't your inspiration be someone bigger or stronger than you?

That's badass!

Man that's awesome. Congrats.

I like the somersault squat, really burns up my outer sweep.

Damnit bones how did the meet go? You better have gotten some vids.

I was wondering if any one could give me any advice on how to go about learning the groove in briefs? My best raw squat is 425. Was thinking about multiple sets with 225 till I feel comfortable....

Well hell, looks like I picked the wrong time to get into geared lifting. j/k Great lift.

That's awesome man, very clean lift.

Workouts are looking great man. I would love to have a 350 bench at that BW.

So I bought a pair of Metal Ace briefs used off ebay today, got an amazing deal. Guess its official I'm going to be dirty gear whore now. Looking at doing two meets one in March and another in April....

Symlin works but the nausea I get from it is pretty bad. When I decide to diet down I will add it in to my regiment as it does greatly reduce your insulin requirements.

I second what Tan says, its the exact same thing for me. Fish oil is a big thing. Celery seed extract has helped me as well.

Well I've decided to try geared lifting. So first up its bench shirt and briefs. I try to find used ones as I think it will be much more forgiving to learn in. Little cheaper but still an expense.

I'll just add it the long list of things I would like to have. haha

How did you like the slingshot?

Occasionally I'll use chain'd out but not something I use on a regular basis. I've never had a preworkout give me the shits but I know it happens a lot.

This is just ridiculous. haha You just benched more than I squat. Thanks bones.

Went in last night and did a few things t get blood moving. Took a scoop and half of WTF and I must say this stuff always impresses me. Huge pumps and good bump in focus.

Hammer Incline 3 sets...

haha I have to agree, I would watch this shit. Motivates the hell out of me.

Holy crap, 495x4? Nice squats.
