Good shit on deads! Doesn't it kind of piss you off though that you got 475x5 on cycle? I mean I guess I would be pissed I would feel like I was so much weaker lol... Also nice work on pullups, what is your bodyweight right now?

It does fuckin suck lol but my form has gotten better since when i did 475x5, and 475x5 might not have been 475 cuz it was at my school gym and it fuckin sucks. Who knows. BOdyweight id say is probably 194 or something

Good stuff dude form improvement is HUGE! My form has improved a lot....385x5 felt literally perfect. But then I missed a week on deads and tried to jump to 395...I only got 4 reps and my form didn't feel as good. I liked my old gym cause it had a mirror that went all the way down so I could see my shins were close enough and all. Worst thing of all: the floor is way more slippery at the new gym so I accidentally WORE SHOES DEADLIFTING INSTEAD OF BAREFOOTING IT!!! no wonder why it didn't go well

pullups to 12 reps and above give an awesome pump in bi's forearms and lats!

 

[the.gladiator1987]

EM - fuck yea they do. 1 set and im pumped, 4 sets and i feel like i worked out for an hour.

Its funny I thought id do more since i didnt do deads but it had NO impact whatsoever. SO for future reference do pullups first.

Im about to start a prohormone in 2 weeks. My goals before starting my injectable cycle:

-Bench 315x5
-Squat 385x5
-Deadlift 455x5
-Stretch everyday

[the.gladiator1987]

Thanks bro. It feels OK its not getting worse but i ran yesterday and i think it might have irritated it . Should be good to go in 3-4 weeks
