When i was 15 i was a 6'3" 165lb ecto that could eat anything and not gain a pound. From 18 to 30 i annihilated tons of drugs and alcohol fucking up my body for good. Now i'm old and like an endo where the site of carbs makes me fat.

I think at your age you could easily cut 5 percent of that fat and barely lose any muscle. Just take lots of l-glutamine, do some heavy lifting sets, and you'll be good.

Good. I like sharing that with younger people in hopes that they might not have to go through the same ridiculous shit i did.

Not sure what to do tomorrow, its deadlift day but i cant deadlift. So I was thinking of shrugs, leg presses, light squats, bb curl, farmer walks, and hitting the abs and calves hard. But that sounds pretty boring when I think about it.

If I just skipped deadlift day and did bench day on monday I will still have had a week rest from the last bench day and would probably be good to go, so I might do this. Or like I said I might just take the opportunity to hit the abs and calves hard again, and try out some HIT. My back is feeling better but not perfect.

thoughts?

Front Squats!!!! Dude have you ever tried them? I've been doing them for a month now, and I think there are going to become a staple of my routine. I've been doing them occasionally like 4x2 and 7x3 but I think now I'm going to put focus on them. Haven't updated my log yet but my front squat pr about a month ago was 205 and just yesterday I got 235, and almost got 245. Love them!

Good news, my gym is getting some kettle bells, only up to like 55lbs but that would be enough for my for like snatches and shoulder presses. If they are thick handles they would be good for grip work too. Now I got a new camera I should start gettin more vids!
