Nice w/o. You've definately got some pulling strength also! Good luck with the cut, it's always a joy

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

thanks David,

LOL the cutting phases are always fun . Why is it that everything that tastes so good is so bad for you, and everything that is good for you tastes so bad

looks like your Carb Cycling is going well too, didn't want to whore up your thread over there keep it up

overall great workout today. First time I have tried Good Mornings in my routine and I must say they seem to be a good exersize. I may have to go a little heavier though. My traps were raw at the end of the good mornings since i don't use a pad on the barbell it rubs pretty good. I can definately tell a difference when I have had my pre-workout shake, as opposed to some other type of food, I have much more strength and endurance

whats up YM yeah I do sldl and conv. deads from time to time, although not nearly as much as I should, which is why I feel like my deadlift is lacking. I'm going to be incorporating more of those style lifts in my workouts soon.

Now that's some great w/o's Brace! And 185 for Good AM's and your just starting, you make me sick man!!!

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
