Dude I weighed 207 just now! :eek:

I feel like we are kinda neck and neck at busting through 200. You're a lot leaner than me though I kinda gave up on trying to stay lean while doing it. Going for full on fattypants now.

I'm in the 205's now, the race to 220!!!!

Sleeping better, felt good today in the gym. Still nursing my left bicep, but it definitely felt better today, and I'm hopeful. Tried pulling 385, but my body said no. Got 375 again tho :) I'm really happy with my progress still, I'm pretty sure I couldn't DL 225 when I started this log.

Scale seems to be moving up. Lifts/strength going up with it?

Not by much man, it's been a slow roll for me. I'm probably just getting fatter. But maybe I need a little more fat. Idk I'll try anything. Right now I'm not worried about my bf% or how much acne I get. I've been stuck in a rut for too long.

I'm off the accutane too now, which I'm worried might have been contributing to my stagnation. It has a lot of sides and affects your body's ability to heal. I can deal with not being pretty for a little while if it helps me reach my goals.

Looking back at my log, the past 4 months my squats and deadlifts have improved a lot, which is something I was well-focused on. Bench press has been pretty stagnant. I think HWC's leg day routine he gave me has helped a lot. Maybe I need someone to re-evaluate my chest day.

You train shoulders more than chest looking at last 2 pages of your log, is that right or you just not log everything?

where do your days off lie in that schedule?

Well it's a 4 day rotation that is temporary for me during hunting season because sometimes I am gone 2-3 days in a row where I can't work out.

Last week i took 2 days off after leg day, the other day off I take based on how I'm feeling and my schedule. After this weekend, I will probably go back to a 5 day rotation, and I will separate out a day for arms. And that will be a more predictable schedule. I'll try to schedule days off so that I'm not hitting any muscles 2 days in a row.

try a day off between shoulders and chest either before or after back. You could just be still fatigued from shoulder day when chest comes around

I think that one my form was better than the one I posted here a few weeks ago.Thanks man.

I agree. Make an effort think to about that area where your belt wraps around you and don't let your lower spine curl over.

Now that's just my advice. If you want real form suggestions, send that vid to MetalHead, Tinymk, BI, Snake, Jol. I'm sure I am forgetting a few (apologies). Those guys really know.
