- Ride had to leave, so i left. Did the curls very slow and controlled


Comments: Deadlifts were 90% of 1RM for 5x2, so that was solid. My form was really good throughout every rep, and i definitely could have done more on all of my sets. Graduation tonight followed by "project graduation" from 7:30 PM till 6:00 AM- should be fun

Awesome work on the PR, Josh and congrats on graduating!!! Have fun

Thanks andalite! I didn't lift Friday since I got home at 6:45 AM and didn't lift yesterday since i felt like shit.. I pushed my bench day back and will do squats on Tuesday. I may or may not have time for Military on Thursday since I leave for Marseilles for about a week.

Pushups (at home after workout)
BW x 20
BW x 20


Comments: Great workout! Didn't have a spotter for my first 3 sets and didn't need the guy who offered for my last 2. After the first set i probably left 3-4 in the tank and after the last one i probably left 1-2 in the tank, so my bench is definitely getting stronger. I think 200 is more than attainable by the end of August, if not sooner. DB Rows went well, although i took long rest between some since some guy kept asking me to spot his bench press. Going to start hitting calves hard with high reps and higher weight, incline DB there were 4 guys working in so i left and did pushups at home which gave me a hell of a chest pump.

Marseilles is BEAUTIFUL! I visited last summer.....

 

[JDid23]

Thanks TBlock

Ahh really andalite? I remember you saying you went to a ton of places around the globe. Where in Marseilles did you visit? My mom knows someone who is in charge of the festival there, so our hotel and a lot of other expenses are paid.

Actually, I retract that statement. I just went and checked. I went to Nice. We did not stop at Marseilles. I have just heard it is beautiful. My bad.

When we visited Europe last we went:

Barcelona
Nice
Florence
Naples
Rome
Pompeii
Capri
Sorento
Livorno

So yeah it was mostly Italy...not France haha....

that's terrible. how did you ever manage without Marseilles- lol

That's a hell of a list man, you're probably one of the most well traveled people i've ever (kind of) met.

Thanks, dude. I've been to like 23+ countries. I wanted to work for the CIA but they said no hahaha...even though I can speak like 5 languages.

My parents are HUGE history buffs.

I think of all the places I've visited my FAVORITE trip has been to Israel. I LOVE Israel. If I couldn't live in Bombay, my top 3 plates to live in would be:

1.) Tel Aviv (Israel)
2.) Dallas/San Antonio/Austin/Houston (Texas)
3.) Stockholm (Sweden)

You know what's ironic? I'm Atheist and I love Israel...ahahahaha (only those people familiar with actual Israel will understand why this isn't all that ironic).
