didn't seem like you squatted heavy today, so if you're not going heavy on squats, you should prioritize deadlifts... do them first next time because doing squats, military press, and grip strength (really stupid especially RIGHT before) will just make you tired before deadlifts which work your whole body

Saibot that's some kind words there thanks big bro

tblock dude I watched the vid and you look pretty skinny with a small frame. I hope you noticed what saibot said, I havnt pulled a heavy deadlift since 19th October. I havnt done grip work since 7th November. That's nearly 4 months since my last deadlifts. So your talking trash to a kid who is 2 years younger than you and suffering from a pretty serious injury. But hey I'll give it my best shot and see what I can do and if I don't beat you then I hope your proud that your stronger than a 15 year old boy who weighs less than you (I think?) needless to say I will start training grip again as soon as I can so I can come back and post better times...

Out of interest how much could you lift when you were 15?

Dude I didn't lift when I was 15, but I could do a shit ton of pushups. Seriously though, I've only been lifting for a year and only been squatting and deadlifting for like 4 months. And I honestly don't care about size, I just want to be strong and fit. I'm going into the army and I'm already at the max weight standard I can be for my height. I have read about a shit ton of special ops guys that were small and light framed, but super fast and able to bench 400+. Plus my arms are bigger than you, so stop saying shit about my frame. Dude, lets relax, where I live we all give each other shit just messing around, so that's all I was doing Plus you are one of my favorite guys on here All the running I do does tend to keep me skinny though, but my thoughts have always been to be lean and muscular but super fit and strong.(not there yet)

Yeah thanks that is great advice. It's just that on my excel spreadsheet for my workout squats are first so I always just do them in that order. But next week I'll change that for sure, cause I think I'll be doing 345x5, so I'll need some energy

Kill that shit. Do you use a belt or straps?

Belt, no straps. The belt doesn't seem to do much for my strength, it just helps me psychologically because my mom had a burst disk and I am scared shitless of hurting my back

Man...too much shit talking in here. Healthy competition is good (unhealthy is terrible) but competition for personal success is the best

I like the workouts. If you need any ideas on Deadlift progression or anything of the sort, hit me up. Your Deads are looking good (from the numbers I see) so I hope you continue to progress.

I had no idea you wanted to join the army. Man...thats intense. I am actually an avid fiction novel reader but this winter I read to non-fiction books and both were about the Navy Seals. The first one is called Warrior Soul by Chuck Pfarrer and it was the training and experiences he had as a Navy Seal in the early 80s. The next book is called Lone Survivor and is much more recent. It's about a US Navy Seal who had to face 200 Afghani Taliban in 2004. It was 4 Seals versus 200 Taliban and the Seals smoked them. 3 of the 4 died. One survived and this is his tale. Very intense man...and very inspirational.

Just thought I'd share

gotta admit navy seals are badass and have a much bigger/better reputation than the SAS...

Actually, in the book, he gives mad props to the SAS. I think in reality, everyone is second to the Mosad

I've read the 2ns book and looked at the first. Good stuff, but SEAL's are all media image in my opinion. Army special ops are just as good or better at the land stuff. And EM, if I could try out for SAS I would definitely go for them way over navy seals. They do far more than Navy Seals, and remember all seals are is just special ops in water. Lol I heard when some seals went out for army special ops they all got blisters on their feet and quit because the marching was too intense for them When I was younger though I was caught up in the image of seals, but now I want to go rangers and then sf. Here's what I got to look foward to in sf:
