When I’m done applying a modified version of yours, I’m gonna have me some tree trunks. Great ideas to building massive legs !

When are you going to start eating? You’re the leanest power lifter on the planet;)

I’m back and forth with that. I wanna gain weight but then I’m also not 100% sure if I ever wanna do a meet again or if I wanna just continue down a route of power building in a sense.

I used to see all the powerlifters at my old gym and they all looked fat and I feel like they used there strength as an excuse to look that way. Which honestly only one had good numbers and he actually was semi lean. I really need to change my focus onto actually cooking my meals again and hitting the gym on the days I’m supposed to.

Damn I’ve been partying way too much since I’ve gotten laid off and the hangovers are getting worse the older I get. Been slacking at the gym but I’m gonna try and stay solid with it and save money while not going out so much.

Today was a good workout

squat-285 3x5.

bench-worked up to 225x2x3

3 second pause bench-185x4x5

Been dealing with what I think is brachialis pain right above elbow on outside of lower bicep. Making it tough for my low bar squats and bench but I’m trying to work around it.
Yesterday- paused squats 265 3x5. Bench worked up to 205x5 until my arm started to bother me.

today- deadlift worked up to 425x2 then dropped to 375 2x4 then some dumbbell bench. Might mess around with dumbbells on the bench until my arm heals because it didn’t bother it doing those.

Shits getting dialed back in and I’m feeling great.

making the switch back to conventional DL since I’m not really interested in competing again.

DL- worked up to 405x3 then back down to 375x2x5

block press-225x3 then 245x3. Using this in place of a pin press because I don’t have an area to do pin presses at the Y.

high bar tempo squat-225x2x7 275x5.

Weighed in at 183 when I woke up. Piling the food in pretty good.

High bar squat. 195x6 235x6 285x2x4. Dropped a little fast on the 2nd rep of the last set and felt like a tore my taint. It’s feeling alright now.

touch and go bench. 205x5 225x2x5 215x5.

DB incline bench- 75x8 85x8 85x6.

bench is progressing pretty well for the first time in a long time.
