After calling about my briefs Tuesday, I finally received shipping confirmation and a tracking number today. It's been exactly a month since I ordered them (3/24). They arrived in Kentucky at 10:00 AM today, so hopefully they'll make it here tomorrow, so I can give them a go Monday.

ME Squat

Well, the briefs are too small so I'm going to either send them back for a refund, or try and sell them. I already ordered another pair from houseofpain.com.

In the meantime, I used my old size 35 single ply Inzer Z-suit today. Straps down.

Barbell Free Squats
45lbs x 15
45lbs x 12
135lbs x 6
135lbs x 3
185lbs x 5 (wrist wraps)
225lbs x 3 (belt on)
225lbs x 3 (suit on)
275lbs x 3
315lbs x 3
365lbs x 2
405lbs x 3 sets x 2 reps
365lbs x 2 sets x 3 reps
-technically all the working sets were rep PR's, but that's too be expected with the suit. I got videos of 275 on I believe, I'll upload them when I get a chance.

DB Romanian Deadlifts (straps, hands still torn up)
80lbs x 6
90lbs x 6
100lbs x 2 sets x 8 reps

Standing Ab Pulldowns
80lbs x 10

I ordered another pair of Power Pants, size 36 this time from houseofpain.com on Sunday, and I just got them today, I was surprised to get them so soon. They fit much better since I'm actually able to get them on. I'm going to be sending the 34's back. I'll give the new ones a try Monday.

You're folding over because of weak abs. Work those abs heavier and harder and push those abs out against that belt. Otherwise good job, keep putting heavier weight on your back.

Secondly, using the term "gear whore" constitutes trademark infringement. You will be hearing from my attorneys.

Alright, I'll try and hit up the abs heavier. What shall in use in place of "Gear Whore?" "Equipment Prostitute?"
