Looking good. Only lost .2lbs this week, but I had a couple of days where I was too busy for cardio, my macro counting was lacking, and it just didnt click this week. I'll get back on track. Just a weird week.

I feel completely ready! I want to start bulking as soon as possible. I'm not used to being this lean so early out!

Should help you hold onto as much muscle as possible by not having to go crazy at the end. :winkfinger:

Thanks for the email, with the holidays and a bunch of family stuff going on I'm going to do 5/3/1 since it's familiar and I don't have to think about new stuff but will definately keep that in my back pocket as it looks killer.

Hope you have a great thanksgiving.
 
True. The spin classes are making obvious differences. My legs are ridiculous looking right now. I cant imagine what they'll look like on show day!

Happy Thanksgiving O. To you and your family.
 
I've been training, but between work and now Skyrim, my time is shot to shit.

So today's workout:

V-bar pushdown 3x12
105-12, 12, 12

Cardio...wish I could say I did some, but didnt. Was just nervous about knee from sprinting yesterday. I hyper-extended it and it hurt like hell.
 
Thank you. I was really happy with the RDL weight I hit today. I just felt strong on it, plus some friends came and visited me at my gym and I didnt want to disappoint!

Time to deload. I'm having too many aches and pain. I need to rest for a while, without kicking myself out of the zone I'm in. So, for this week, no numbers. Just deload...I hate deloading, but it serves a good purpose. I'm only using 40% less of what I'd normally use.
 
gotta do them, and we won't let you wimp out next week. :paddle:

I'm starting 5/3/1 next week. Gonna post my plan later today to see what you guys think. Basically going to do BBB but want to get your opinions on the exercises. :thumb:
 
^ man of few words when deloading. :roflmao:

So ready for the giants game tonight?
 
Deloading is great.

No not great, whats that other word..

Scrotum. Thats it.
 
boobies rule.
 
lol as bad as the Giants played last night, watch now that everybody thinks they suck they will upset the Packers. they do that all the time.

So got any advice on breaking in a new belt, finally got myself a real one from elitefts but the damn thing is so stiff I can't even put the belt through the loop after I tighten it up.

Why on earth would you want to break it in? The rigidity will occur, but this is a good thing. You need that tightness and ruggedness to protect you.

Packs are a good team. I'm going to be watching this one. I'm going to say: Packers 34/Saints 14.
 
It just seems really inflexible, so when you inhale to pull it tight, your body becomes more like an oval, but the belt is so stiff it stays round, so it creates a gap that I'm not used to.

Maybe it's because I'm used to being able to tighten up my old cheap one like a real belt.

Tell you what used it for deads on friday and I can tell a huge different with this new belt. The support it gives isn't like going from a ford focus to a dodge viper.

How are all the aches and pains doing? Is the deload working?
 
Deload is working well. My bicep/forearm is healing (finally), my knees are better and my shoulder pain is gone.
The belt needs to be constrictive. You dont want leeway when using it.
 
Sounds like it was great timing for the Deload.

Didn't know your knees were causing issues, maybe the spin classes will take some pressure off them on the cardio side going forward.
