THURSDAY - SQUAT / DEADLIFT (01/14/15)

It's a great feeling when you've started training and you realize the weight is moving light and fast, and it's going to be one of those days.

It's an even greater feeling when you walk into the gym just knowing that the weight is going to move light and fast.

I'm always so impressed with your speed off the floor...

Yea, that shit went up fast. Great work.

DEEP friggin' squats CL....and as always you make deads look so easy...your lockout looked extra strong...

 

[Ramrod]

Sqauts Look great and the Deadlifts even better... Solid Training

 

[Bullmuscle7]

We like grunts here!!!

The squat and the deficit deadlift....

Its really kinda freaky to see the incredible transformation your body and your lifts are undergoing!!! Excellent Chris!!!

Ass to grass squats and smooth as butter deadlifts. Man everything looked great. I thought you were gonna sit your ass on the floor and drive back up lol!! Those deadlifts looked easy for you man, that's great. I love your motivation and how pumped you get after your lifts. That shit is inspiring

NOTES
Kind of an odd training day because 405 felt heavy as shit, but then it felt like I could 365x5 for all five sets. I didn't video it, so it may have been a set-up/technique thing. Or it could be that I've moved 365 so often that I consider it warm-up weight no matter how I'm feeling. Either way, I'll probably not push it on Thursdays if/when I have to deadlift again. I've learned by now that deadlifting twice a week is not sustainable long term for me.

You need to change your title to just "Strong".

 

[TenaciousA]

Grunting is awesome.
Dangerous weights in such sequence. You're my lightweight hero.

 

[Bullmuscle7]

Huge deadlift and I know what you mean about a few pounds making it feel like you can go and go!

Stellar today brother!!!
