Kabeetz: Cut Up or Shut Up [OFFICIAL LOG]

[BiggT]

You're good for a 315x1 (at least) DL right now, but stick with the 5's and progress from here.

Front squats are a great lift and will slap more muscle on the quads....they're not a very posterior chain-heavy type of lift. I don't think they carry over much to the back squat, but they are definitely more than worth doing. If you DL conventional (which you should be, lol), front squats will help you pull that bastard off the floor with a lot of speed.

T.. Gotcha. I wanna get my atf back squat to 100% my bodyweight..and really finally get it to 225..I don't know if the 225 is in the cards until I start upping the cals again though. I have some cutting to go, still, but I refuse to be in a perpetual cutting state..the second half of 2007 and beyond will be all about mass & strength.

don't lose focus with the crap in the diet....youve done well....now you are starting to take a step backwards.....it really depends on your goals......are u in this die hard or are you taking it ez and enjoying life as well.....

Bro you have my word I will not lose focus. It's easter and my birthday tomorrow so I did the partying last night and maybe tonight and I'm gonna eat like a man on Easter, and after that it is complete die hard refocus.

Hey what is the date of your bday Kab????? I didnt miss it did I??

NOPE! Tomorrow.

Well, Happy Birthday!

Good work man, keep on trucking along. From what I read you cutting till June then Bulking?

I was going to cut till I saw my abs but, for me I decided it was a waste of time and I'm defintly content with 15-20%. I'm more lift focused then anything. My wife defintly wouldn't like me with Abs so there is no sense in it for me. Bulking away now.

I'd defintley eat up on Easter man, earned it.

I've always said I'd like to see my abs, but I'm very reluctant to lose strength, just for that.
Happy Easter Birthday, man.

NOTES: Really great workout. I thought with the drinking and not too much sleep the night before it wouldn't be all that but it was good. Following three reasons: 1) Time of day, early afternoon 2) The cheesesteak night before did a body good 3) Just started up PureCEE, haven't been doing the creatine thing in a while. Probably a tiny combination of all three..all I know is the 185 squats were smooth and consistent and for the first time forever I ended squats feeling like I could do more. Great stuff.

I am going to try and get some cardio in today... gym closes at two and a lot to get done before that... HAPPY EASTER AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY EVERYBODY!!! Thanks for the warm wishes and positive vibes.[/QUOTE]

You too bro.

I am commited to reassessing at June, hopefully stopping, with a guaranteed no-matter-what end date of August. I'll let the mirror decide but I'm not going to make this an abercrombie & fitch eternal cut, my ultimate goal is size and strength, after I see my abs once before I die I'm on to that Happy Easter mang.

Happy Easter to you too bro!!!

32 Minutes (including 4 minute warm up and 2 minute cool down)
between 385-400 cals burned
3.9 low/8.6 highest high
1:30 minute intervals

NOTES: Well the power on my shut off in the middle of at 8.3 HI interval..rofl I'm glad I didn't take a fall. So I don't have the exact cal or distance numbers but it was in the ballpark of my recent #s, I'm sure. Great run.

Looking forward to some great lifting tonight, feels like it has been forever for some reason.

Bar Complex Movements

Squat
95x5 115x5 140x5 160x5 185x5

Bench
80x5 100x5 120x5 140x5 162x5 (Week 1 of lift deload)

Hypers

Weighted Decline Situps
25x8x4 !PR!

NOTES: The squat is not a PR but it is a good benchmark to be back at. I will be pulling this lift up slowly… 2-3 pounds a week. Bench felt tough believe it or not, chest is fried this morning. Didn’t realize it was a row PR at the time, but it was. I used up to a 25 lb. Weight on the declines, first time. Good stuff, good workout.
