Hit The Ground Running ...

[SamEaston]

Workouts showing no ill effects of your starvation.

Good stuff Sam, and good luck in Glasgow.

Thanks alot love! The presentation is on Wednesday and i go up home tomorrow - should be fun

speaking of starvation....what kind of progress are you making??

Im 5lb down from when i started 2 weeks ago, which is good progress but more importantly my bf% is down by 5% - well chuffed

I reckon i've got about 8 more weeks, there or thereabouts, until i do my update pics

[SamEaston]

Thanks a million guys

 

[goob]

Thanks a million guys

You've thanked a million guys????????


In what way? Surely thats a record, there must be an alternate career out there for you. Maybe in the 'film' industry?

Front squats are positvely stomping! Brilliant workout Sam, the weights are really impressive.

 

[boilermaker]

nice work sam!! 'bout 8 weeks, huh? that's kinda the time frame i'm on. taking a vacation to the beach with my wife and another couple. hope to be unfat by then, lol.

 

[DOMS]

Great job on the workout!

Even more so on the cutting. Five pounds in two weeks? Outstanding!

I went on a cut today. Right between breakfast and lunch.

Great w/o's Sister Sam, and congrats on the cut too!!!

 

[Scarface30]

that's about what? the 150th appearance of that smiley in the past week? lol

great workout above Sam static holds are looking great too. you should try with with DBs sometime. I've always found I get better training for my grip when I used DBs for the static holds...that's just me though

 

[countryboy]

176 and counting...

 

[nadirmg]

hope the presentation went well!

oooh, static holds! i hear ya on the grip strength for rack pulls. i refuse to resort to straps though. that'd be the easy way, but it wouldn't be the cowboy way.

and seriously whats up with all the prs? aren't you supposed to be cutting???

 

[b_reed23]

she's trying to make the rest of us look bad

 

[boilermaker]

hey sam bet you feel better getting that presentation over with. hope it went well!!

 

[katt]

she's trying to make the rest of us look bad

 

[King Silverback]

[SamEaston]

Great workout, too! You're pushing 100lbs on most of your lifts now, you and your damned PRs...

Thanks Gaz - what PR's???

Great workout...

Thank you CB!

Nah, i can't be bothered with DB's for grip. I load up the rack anyway for Rack Pulls so i just do the holds right after that.

hope the presentation went well!

Presentation went fine, thank you my dear! Straps are not going to help me at the moment! If i used straps, my grip would be absolutely shocking within a couple of weeks ... it's bad enough as it is! Then what happens if you forget your straps one day?? No workout?? Yeah right ...

she's trying to make the rest of us look bad

Me?? I couldn't possibly

hey sam bet you feel better getting that presentation over with. hope it went well!!

I feel loads better, thank you!! It was weighing on my mind for ages, but now i can forget about it ... till the next one
