Exactly. I think if I worked more on being ripped id look 220 anyway. 205 @ 8%BF is my goal.

Not a good workout. Couldnt do my full deads, but I was feeling like shit anyway. I was hot and cold at the same time. I fucking hate that! Sweating but you're freezing lol. Anyway I got some PR's but that could have been from not doing my heavy set of deads. I didnt go up on bb row but I count it as a PR because my reps were better form.

Had to cut the workout short again. It was supposed to be leg day but my right ass cheek is swollen from the T400 I injected. Im getting my good test this week so no more of that bullshit. My DB military was weaker, but my BB Military was stronger. Dont know why but at least I got a PR on something.

yeah, thats a good way to really check out your form
i posted a couple of my squats and deadlift videos the other day
I saw those, sick videos. I might try to widen my stance on squats like yours. Not too wide but still wider than I do. I think I am rally tight in my lower back/hip flexors because its hard to go down low and explode through my heels but Ill video my squats and post them on here.
Also our deadlifts are same, hips higher with shoulder over the bar. I feel so much more power this way rather than hips low/shoulder behind the bar. I feel like im squatting the weight up with my hips low, and 315 feels like 500lbs. As long as my lower back is straight I dont see whats wrong with hips being higher, I think its more flexibility/limb length issues rather than form.
Day 38 - Legs/Calves
Squats:
135x10
225x6
365x3 PR

***Short workout, my quads are killing me from the injections on friday. First time shooting quads so I can barely walk. Still managed to get 365x3 which was nice. Puts me around 405 which is my goal for this cycle, already gettin it at week 6 pretty much. Was about 355 when I started. I would also like to do 275x20 that would be sick goal! Ill have a video of my 365x3 later, Illpost it here AND in the weightlifting forum
