[rustilldown]

Lol it's my girlfriend. I'm just starting a 5x5 of my own too! Im excited to see how this works out for you man! If you ever need anything I'm in Edmonton too, don't forget about that lol

Nice dude!!!! Hope you take it as a compliment cause that's a nice bum! Yeah I took a little break from the 5x5 I have insanely tight lower back and hips apparently , so I'm taking it easy until I get t stretched out completely... Still squat and dead heavy but not as often as the 5x5. Glad your there for support buddy maybe next time I home I'll come meet up for a workout... My girl and I are having major issues, it's no good I hate it, 99 problems and a girl is one! Buuut I went for A sweet rip on my new bike today and that made me quite happy !
Did not workout today, I'll be back at it tomorrow though

It is a nice bum lol. Puts a smile on my face everyday too.

The flexibility in my hips is horrible too. I need to stretch that out, because things get tight during squats, and deads, but I insist on pushing through anyways.

Where do you work? Out of town? I hope you're able to work the issues out with your girl. Feel free to PM me if you ever need to talk.

Hey thx again, i am working About an hour north of McMurray at the moment just heading back up as we speak.! I'll update later with my workout took a day off yesterday just to relax recover and today ill hit it hard! I definitely need to keep working on my lower back hips every damn day to feel them loosen up, seems the more I stretch the better my lifts and form are feeling, foam rolling feels amazing too! -Mike

Very odd day, felt shitty from a 2 day binder with no working out, worked all day did not eat much and have been a little stressed, needless to say I fucking killed it today. Depressing weight was 192. I imagine it will climb once I'm re hydrated but who knows.

Ok something is happening I am losing weight so fast but I blame it on being a little unhealthy as of late and work is just ferocious lately. I picked up an expensive heart rate monitor. I wore it from the time I woke up today, until now post workout and supper. I have burnt 6000 calories thus far ttoday. I ate 4600 and I can not eat anymore that's a 1500 deficit almost daily I suspect. But I feel so damn energetic it's odd. Strong too. I was cribbing all day and my back was toast from Deadlifting 10 hours today.
So I figured might as well polish off with a strength training day.



20 min bike warm up
Deadlift 275x5x5
315x5
335x5
365x5x5x3x3 ( not a pr but felt great... Won't tomorrow.)

Squat 275x5x5x5
315x5x5x5
Front squat
185x10x10x10

Just did some accessorie exercises,
Hammy curls, calfs, abs
Weight 186.5.

Next bunch of days will be very physical also. Guess I can be cut for summer because 6k calories isn't happening.

dang, those heart rate monitors are very strange. They usually say we expend so much more than we do... but in your case maybe it's right lol!

Keep killing it!
