Classic!

Nice lifts man. Your "not particulary strong" days blow away my strong days.

But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

Lol, thanks Mike. Us old guys have to at least try to keep up with you young'uns.

I've been watching your workouts too my friend. It amazes me you can diet and still hit PR's. I really need to diet down some, but I'm always apprehensive because my strength always goes down... and I hate that. Right now I'm focused on getting my deadlift and squat numbers up, so no dieting for me until later this year.

I'm Trying

What were you using? Great w/o there JD!

Ancient Chinese secret.















































j/k . First time cycle of test prop and winstrol. Put on about 17 lbs, a few lbs of that water. Strength gain was not quite as good as I expected, but decent. I think my three previous PS cycles lessened the impact of my first 'real' cycle.

Thanks JD. Just curious.

With me I think alot of it is mental . sometimes , like on bench, I'll get everything setup , get under the bar and just lay there . If I want to get 4 reps i focus on that number and i kind of start a chant 4, 4, 4, 4, until I'm almost screaming and then take a deep breath and go for it! . Doesn't always work though ! LOL Been many a times I went to push the weight and nothing happened ! I thought man what was i thinking !
If there were anyone walking by they'd probably call the nut wagon !

Leg day is the only workout day where I feel like a complete wuss (for definition see http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/wuss ). My squats are coming along though. Today marks the first time in quite awhile that I can officially squat more then I bench. I am trying to do them powerlifter style, with a wide foot spacing and to parallel, or just slightly under. I did have a minor setback. On my first set of leg curls, I felt a slight twinge in my left hamstring on the 2nd or 3rd rep. I continued and I felt it with each set. Now I'm walking with a very, very slight limp. I do think it's a minor injury, and it'll be fine in a day or two.

Awesome squats!!! Congrats!

Thanks Jake. Did that link I send you make sense? Just curious, because I thought it explained things really well.

Another question. You pimpin' for Rob, or you just wanting to be a mod that bad?

No brag, but... I was offered a 'modship' a few months ago for supplements, but I turned it down. My family already thinks I spend too much time on here, so in the interest of martial bliss, I thought it wise.

Var

Jake would suck Prince off if it meant becoming a Mod.

Fuck you guys. He asked if I would do it, I see no problem in promoting this site.

I dont think I will ever be a mod, and I really dont care anymore.

JerseyDevil

Good question P, cuz I'm not sure. I took a tape measure and laid it on the floor, and checked. My previous foot placement was about 12"-13". The wider placement is now around 25". Any wider then that, I find it hard to get to parallel.

JerseyDevil

Damn Jake, I was just joking man... Nothing wrong with promoting this site at all!

JerseyDevil

Thank you for your support Gary! I haven't even tried to increase my squats for years, so now that I'm focused I should be able to raise them a little bit .

Var

I wasnt joking. Jake is a kiss-ass. He sends Prince love letters and asks him for a Mod position every week.

Is that wider than shoulder width apart for you?

Yes. 25" was the space in between my feet, not outside edge to outside edge. My shoulder width is 23". Genetically I wasn't gifted with wide shoulders.
