Thanks guys. oso: I do my hammer curls a little different Ill post a video to show you what I mean. I do them crossbody, I find I can go a little heavier on them than regular straight up curls.
Just been out and bought 2 whole chickens, 5.5lbs of chicken breasts, 5lbs of minced lean beef, 2.5lbs of lean steak and about a pound of tilapia...
This is the crossbody curls Im talking about, I dont use straps like in the video though:

Hanging Leg Raise x 15, 15, 12
Ab Wheel x 18, 12
Quad strength is holding back my squats and deads, need to get them stronger and I figure front squats and Olympic squats are as good as anything.
I also find it hard to hold a tight arch in my mid-lower back when pulling heavy so I'm going to start working the 45 degree back raises more often.

Thanks guys. I was just looking back through my log at all the posts while I was cutting, you two were the only ones who actually gave encouragement. I got alot of comments from others saying I was stupid for doing it, I would loose muscle, shoot my metabolism in the face, bounce back and get fat, end up too skinny etc. Well thanks for the nice comments from you two.
Oh and I just looked back and at the very end of 2010 a few weeks after finishing my cutting diet my squats were at 226x5, yesterday I hit 270x5. That's a 44lb increase in around 6 months. That's not "newb gains" either because I've been lifting for 2 and a half years. The proof is in the pudding that you don't have to do any of that over complicated strength consolidation triple progression bullshit to get strong.
The other day I bought Jim Wendler's new book. Good read. I like the stuff he reads about the "Moving North of Vag" ideology haha

Yeah remember fitness is really about a personal thing....it's what you want not people on a forum haha! As you get older your strength will really shoot up. Now that I'm a few months away from 19 I'm really feeling it. It's just getting way easier to progress. How old are you again? I'll bet you'll start seeing some damn good results soon
