Screw the PRs - you trained hard and well.

Nice work on the chins and cleans.

Good work on the chins.

I realised why you've been etting so good now. It was so obvious, but only if one was aware of the intracacies of Eastern philosophy and microclorean channelling.

Because I've been slacking so much, the energy usually used by me was re-directed via the Tao Sechzuan energy highways to you. So, by channelling this force, you have had access to a small amount of goob's special powers. The inner chi, has become reinforced by goob powers. You will be 120% more irresistable to women because of this.

thanks, AA. the chins really aren't that great. i probably can't do 10 reps of them so..

thanks, JH. it really is a tough exercise - but the results pay off big time.

thanks, built! yea i was really happy with them.

thanks, billie!

i don't think you've been slacking at all. you've been channelling all of your energy into your workouts, especially the sprints - and the results speak for themselves. therefore, this inexplicable display of sheer animal energy is none other than my own raw innate awesomeness thanks for awakening me to who i really am!

that supposed to be some kind of fucking fortune cookie??

RDLs - finally could pull off a couple of reps at 275 - grip strength is going up!
front squats - nailed 155. finally.
cg bench - really had to focus on this one - for some reason if i'm not 100% mentally into bench stuff i always do badly. will try to start out at 155 next time.

His numbers were getting to close to mine. So I killed and ate him, cooked with a nice piri piri sauce.

ouch, you guys only noticed i was gone yesterday?

long story short: next week is i'm moving back to texas so things have been really hectic. i haven't been logging my workouts online or meals for that matter, but i've been doing the best i can. albeit, 3 workouts a week, if i'm lucky.
once i get back to texas i'll be back here though.

so, a couple of PR updates:
back squats
4x5x235
weighted pull-ups
5x5x25
hang cleans
5x5x90

here are some update pictures. i was too lazy to mess with the lighting this time around. so you won't see as much contrast. i think my shoulders have made most of the progress this time around.










i'm about ready to start cutting for a month or so here. the only thing is i still really want to increase my pec size. i'm unhappy with the lack of progress that's happened there in comparison to my back, arms and shoulders, and legs.

hope it's well with you all.

I noticed you were gone ages ago, i just didn't want to say anything because i was gone for a couple weeks myself and i wasn't sure if you had said that you were going and i just missed it. Sorry

Yeah, you're looking really good. Shoulders have increased a bit and i noticed the lats coming up a fair bit too. Nice job sir!

hey JH - thanks, dude. i'm noticing a difference in my gut too. continuing to eat a lot when not working out 3-4 a week... not a good idea. time to get back with it.

yeees, sadly keeping the hair short comes with interviewing. i have one on monday with an investment company.

thanks sam yea, you were gone for a while there too. are you back regularly? or semi-regularly, like me?

So I haven't been around lately. But I have been busy and working out the whole time.

Here is my w/o for the past week. I've made some good gains, although I've been slacking on my squats. I hope everyone is doing great and I hope to get around to everyone's journals soon.

I'm moving up to Dallas on Saturday to start a new job with a investment company so things are crazy now. But I hope to get back on here regularly once things settle down. (hope being the keyword)

Nice to see you're still tearing it up at the gym, bud! I see some nice-looking numbers on the rack pulls and front squats.

This thread is, however, useless without update-pix.
