Fuck you tcock I know what your doing.

Well I was trying to get you to try 225x20. But all bullshit aside 225x20 does seem a little high for you man. I would keep with the x8 sets for a while then try it

 

[moya]

lol no way you can get 225x20

i have faith in EM...
after so many reps it becomes a mental challenge...

btw EM, my email is up (for now)... it gets flooded with spam every so often and it dosnt have a lot of data space...

I am confident I could do it Im just not sure if I will choose to do it this Monday or not.

started to loose function of my fingers and hands because my forearms were so pumped lol

Circuit - 5 times with as little rest between circuits as possible
1 arm DB snatch x 3/3
KB swing x 15
Inverted Row x 10
Farmers Walk x 2 lengths of the gym

I can tell Im getting close to my max with the deadlifts because its getting hard to keep my hips down and keep a tight arch. Ill have to deload them soon, maybe push it for 1 or 2 more weeks.

That cable machine for the curls has like 4 pulley's so its easy to move alot of weight without it providing as much resistance as normal, I know I cant curl 120x8 with real weight lol.

tricep tendon has been bothering me a bit for the last couple of days. Got some ice on it right now and used deep heat earlier today. Going to alternate ice with hot water for 10min intervals for a while then get an early night.

Going to shoot for the 275 squat on Monday. And possibly a 1rm deadlift on Friday.

def need a deload after this week. Started to feel a bit beat up. Shoulders felt a bit tight when I started squatting today, Ive had a nagging groin pain for about a month now and my tricep tendon is flaring up a little. Going to deload squats and deads after this week.

When I finished cutting in december my best squats were 226x2 ATG and I think 226x5 to parallel. So Im very happy with today.
