[400Lb Gorilla]

well damn..... lol. going to be honest i doubt i would have stuck with the cut for very long anyways. mostly when i have cut before it was more of a body recomp deal with mostly protein and fats staying high but carb cycling being the majority of calories subtracted/added

alright let me know what you guys think. i couldnt include this in the dead/rack vid because for some reason the Video Editor kept trying to read a par tof the vid i had cut off

other vid:

Next time shoot the vid from a side shot when performing the snatch pulls. I think that bar is going out in front of you and it shouldn't. The bar path should be a straight line (more or less). Also, widen that grip.

You mean an upright row??? Do you even lift?



4G at some point I'm going to call you out on your use of performance enhancing drugs. Its almost hard to believe how dumb-strong you are naturally. You have a gift for lifting heavy shit up off the ground man...

NOTES
I am 15 shades of fucking awesome
No, seriously, benchpress was great today. everything went much smoother than i thought it would. 295x3 is a PR.
I will be keeping presses in the second spot from now on. I definitely felt "fresher" going into presses than i ever have. hopefully this holds next week for 190x5! 200x3 is definitely a personal best as well.
CGBP, DB press, and laterals hit shoulders and triceps nicely.
the Arnold presses are new to me. i think i am getting them correct as far as form goes and i was honestly surprised that these things hit the shoulders and triceps pretty good for such little weight

.

no. i mean a front raise. as BI said, the bar looks like its going out in front

 

[400Lb Gorilla]

you think my snatch pull looks bad you should see my power clean


oh and instead of cutting like i thought i was going to do i have decided i am getting back up to 220 lol. hopefully by the time i hit 220 i will have a 600 pull and a 495 squat.

We gotta take a closer look at your squats b/c you should be squatting much higher than 495lbs with a 600lbs pull. It should be more like 540lbs or possibly more.

honestly i think you already gave me the advice needed to get the big squat. i widened my stance up only an inch or so for that 450 squat and i felt more stable(still GM'd a little but not as bad).

Here is today's bench and presses:

the CGBP vid isnt uploading so fuck it you guys are going to have to take my word that it was a very nice looking 245 triple

 

[shoeless1]

whats your max bench at?
