Bulgarian squats take a bit to get used to. I have started doing them in past few weeks, I like them alot.

Good job with the PR's.

Im gonna start doing two workouts a day . basically my workouts are full body. 2 days on one day off. I'm really trying to get stronger too so low reps are in i really like the 5x5 and 6X3. No muscular failure if poss. When my mom's camera comes i'll take pics. Im at 5% bodyfat on the calipers. Well regardless of bf% i lost 7%bodyfat in 12 weeks got stronger and only lost 3 pounds. I will try a low carb bulk with refeeds and see how it goes.

weight=159
abs-7mm
hams-10mm
calfs-8mm
chest-3mm
thigh-7mm
butt-much much much smaller lol.

You gotta be careful doing that, make sure you don't over do it.

I will man. I may just do 9-12 sets on my 2nd workout then work up. I have done them before but i wasn't doing some things like no failure taking bcaas pre and post workout took less fish oil and less vitamin c and creatine with zma helps alot to.

lawl, awesome. I love Bulgarian squats, they do quite a good job of hitting the glutes, especially if you step out a little farther, just make sure you go down low enough. You're making great progress as of now, so keep it up and you'll suprise yourself on how fast you'll be getting 3+plates

I dont know man lol. I hope so. I do think i have a lotta stuff left to give on the box squat. Good mornings,clean and jerks, and bulgarian squats seem to be the key to lifting big weights.

On a side note I'll take a pic tomorrow and hopefully i will be able to post it.

I've been stuck at benching for a while(burnout i think) so i will drop it and just do board presses and speed work for maybe 1-2 weeks.

I don't do speed work myself, I've done speed deadlifts once though. It is a probably a good idea to add it in though. If you are making progress the way you are training now you don't really need to do speed work. Don't have to fix it if it isn't broke, speed work certainly wouldn't hurt though. Let's see how things turn out.

yea im trying to fix my very weak stablizers on my bench by working with db. After my deload i'll do the speed work. Also have you noticed ive added in more pulling movements? Is it to correct bad posture and imbalances. Yes to some extent but it's mostly because i like the idea of a big back (Traps and lats)and hamstrings.

Goals-for myself
*get to 175 pounds
*get stronger
*stay lean or get leaner
*out bench fufu
*stay happy and positive
*give my workouts a 100% effort
*get laid

workout- stoped 3-4 reps shy of failure
close stance squats(hard for me)
165X6
165X5
165X6
rotator cuff
20X2
20X3

calf raises
150X15
150X12

behind neck bb press
45X12
45X10
45X10

left 20 min early and feeling like i did a light walk lol not even slightly hard. It is very hard to not go hard if that makes sense. i think i'll do it so i cycle the effort every 3 weeks except on max effort days. week1 3-4 reps shy week 2 1-2 reps shy week3 balls to the wall. I'll switch my max effort to 2 days a week and will devote at least one day a week to dynamic effort. the rest of the time it will be 10 reps or lower but with the goal of functional muscle mass.
