5x5 journey to incredible strength

That was a good video man! He looks pretty good for a powerlifter/strongman. Similar to Stan efferding! Hes a pro bodybuilder/has many world record powerlifts too

I'll google him and check it out, If I could pick a happy medium id like to be able to have strong lifts across the board and still be relatively hard looking, leanish. One step at a time though! I'll keep posting vids I watch a ton of them and am always motivated !

Today's workout
5 minute jump rope, quick ab cycle
To prepare core for big lifts Don't need a hernia setting me back.

Squat
225x5
245x5
265x5
285x5
305x5 ( I took a pre workout today and felt sick/ lightheaded during squats but I completed all sets fine... No more pre workout Anymore)

Felt better as workout progresses
Bench
155x5
165x5
185x5
205x5
235x5( felt awesome! Could have done 255x5 for certain!.. Next time)

Bent over rows
135x5
175x5
185x5
205x5
215x5(tough but made it)

Workout took me over an hour,
Most likely because I was resting like 4 minutes between sets of squats cause my head felt like exploding

Finished up with face pulls with a rubber band to help keep upper back/ rear delts strong and engaged. Did one set of body weight pullups..12 clean reps
Some serious stretching aswell

Nice diet and insane progress! 8 weeks to gain what looks like at least 15lbs of muscle. (unless you were ridiculously shredded inat 182).

Um well this was like 178ish In Barbados not too long ago. was using eca sparingly but back then I Was playing soccer And Doing mad interval training along with strength training. You can imagine after 2 weeks in Barbados I lost a little definition lol, got home and started to bulk with creatine and upped calories bigtime

Another great inspiration of mine, before he got all fucked up.. When he was in his prime. I have considered signing up for boxing many times and still may do so in the future.! Pretty much want to be a super athlete haha wish I could just compete train and learn all sorts of things but instead I have to work ...
