Damn man, your squats are absolutely phenomenal! You gotta' get some videos up, bud. Not like I or anyone is doubting you, just to see what kind of form you're using etc. I gotta' see those deadlifts too. How is your physique coming along?

Thanks MS

I don't have a digi cam, although I think one of my buds does. As for my deadlifts, I injured my lower back a while back and I'm doing some side work to carefully improve that facet of my training. Right now I'm only working on form and not damaging anything with 425 or so pounds for a handful of slow reps. I'm not using straps at the moment either in regards to improve my grip. It's been tough for me to use low weights in my deadlifts, but I'm a big picture kind of guy, so I'm fighting to not go really heavy and sacrifice myself. Gotta be the strongest guy on the team when I report for football in 11 months - I won't be there if I hurt myself.

I'm hoping that everything will be back into shape by January. I'll do some deadlift vids as soon as my lower back is back into shape.

Oh, and as far as my physique is concerned, I'm at about 224 pounds right now and looking to hit 240 or 245 by the time December is collapsing. I just took a measurement of my chest after 6 weeks of cg bench presses and I'm just under 50 inches now with hardly any chest fat (minus the nipples, grr.) My legs seem to be getting much bigger now too, as they seemed kind of skinny for while considering the weight I was using.

Damn, awesome to hear bud. So you're training for football huh? I don't see many explosive type movements like power cleans or hang cleans, etc. Just not a big fan of them?

About your physique, that's going to be nuts if you hit 240-250 by December. Talk about being enormous. How tall are you again? Sorry if you already told me. I am going to start another M1T cycle in a few days---so hopefully that will help me get up to 235 or so, we'll see what happens. I don't want to gain any bodyfat with this M1T cycle, so I am going to have to keep my diet clean.

Yeah man training for football. I'm not a fan of power cleans or "explosive" lifts because I don't think they are the best methods of strength training. Good football players are built on the field.

I'm 6'1 - yeah I'm hoping to hit 245 and then slim down to 230-235 by the time the next season comes around. Lots of speed/agility training to come in the future. How long you running the M1t?

Probably 3 weeks, and then some Nolva afterwards for my PCT. I ran it like 4-5 weeks last time and after 3.5 weeks I was feeling so friggin' foggy-minded, it was getting ridiculous. I couldn't handle the side effects. Oh well.

BB curl: 145 x 8 (pause) x 1

I apologize to SF, i was going to try something he suggested and i totally forgot. Today I focused exclusively on form and not leaning back on my MP. I should hit 10 reps next time with 215 easily.

Now that I'm back in a "bulking" phase, I'm relatively pleased with my leaning out portion. My arms are 18 inches, chest 49 1/4, calves sitting at 16 1/2, thighs 26, forearms 14. The width of my shoulder from deltoid to deltoid is 21 inches. Considering that about 6 or so pound of fat two months ago my measurements were nearly identical, I take that as a good sign.

Thanks for the kudos, Mike. As a guy who's the same age as me you're freakishly strong. Keep up the good work.

Haven't been updating the journal, but I hit some PBs recently. Hit 270 for 8 reps on a CG bench press (although, however, the grip isn't as narrow as some would do). I'm rackin 425 for 15 on squats at the moment, doing some nice rehab on my ankle and am really perfecting the form on my deadlifts. By the end of the month I'd like to be able to do 415 for 10 reps without sacrificing form.

Okay, waking up my dead journal for a quick update - though I can't really handle updating it every day.

Squats: 440 x 12 (smith)
Military press: 230 x 7 (seated, perfectly vertical press)
CG Bench: 285 x 7 (my grip is inside of shoulder width by a respectable amount)

My back recovery is going well. Form is looking good and I should be back to where I started before the end of my bulking (quote) phase, sometime in January. All the ancillary movements are progressing well

As for squats, I'm going deep, down to the safety latch. Deeper than parallel, so my reps have sunk but my muscles are feeling a better level of complete incapacitation.

Duncans Donuts

Goals status:

Squat: 450 x 13 (below parallel, smith)
Military press: 235 x 6
CG press (hands inside shoulder width): 290 x 7

My lower back is strengthed again and I am back in the 400 pounds deadlift range of reps - I should be in the 500s again before December. My focus is starchly on form.

I haven't reviewed the journal, but 450 x 13 is something I feel very proud with
