Hey zed thx for coming by, drop in more often I had some hiccups along the way with tight hips and a sore si joint so kind of went astray from the program a little in order to keep lifting

Starting today back at it 3 days a week!! Can't wait I love the big lifts

Starting weight was 180, now at 195
Starting bench was below 225 now it's 285x5

Starting dead was below 315, now I can hit 405 x 5 with chalk on a good day


Starting squat was like 225x5, now tonight I'll be aiming for 335 -345 x5
I hit 335 last time for 5 clean reps.

Starting row was 185 x5 sloppy
Now I can row 275x5 on a good day

And starting military was like 115x5
Now it's 185x5 on a good day

All big lifts are much improved along with assistance and it's about to get much better as I'm eating like a horse







Ride it like you stole it!!

I do the same thing. Especially when I'm at work cause they always want to see pictures of my daughter(I'm one of the younger newer guys and she's just made one so she's too cute and the center of attention).
