Been feeling pretty good lately with my lifts. Weight is staying up and fat is staying away. Happy about that. Woke up at 206 and my gym weight was 208. Ever since I broke the 200 marker it's been stacking on. Hopefully this eq appetite kicks in soon so I can keep up with the food. Hope everyone is killing it.

Good shit man. Always nice to pull off a good balance between the weights and remaining social. Sometimes it can be tough on cycle for me as I get one track minded. Hopefully you fit okay into your suit lol

Keeping up with everyone's cycle logs has me so much more motivated than I've ever been. Thank you all for taking the time to keep track of everything. It's very inspiring.
 
Dayyyyummm!! Congrats on the PR, 5 plates is crazy..

Thanks man. Everything felt great today. I've honestly been scared as fuck to try it because all we have is a walk off squat rack. Those few steps backwards with that much weight sucks worse than doing the actual squat.

Nice pr- amazing you did it on one of those walk out racks. I won't even squat in those. Great log man- I have been taking notes.

Trust me I wouldn't use it either if I didn't have to but if that's what you go then that's what you got.

I'm glad to help out anyway I can. I know yours and jballz log gave me a ton of motivation.

Went back down stairs and went to the preacher curl machine and did 3 drop sets

Feel like I'm getting a bit softer in the mid section which is why I'll be doin cardio at a min of every other day until I hit single digits again.

Felt pretty amped up today. I have dropped some carbs from the diet but that's it. Ready to see what this new size looks like at a lower BF. I've been bouncing around the 207-210 weight. I've been spending a lot of time working on my strength and think I'm going to switch it up a bit and work on my physique a lot more. I've managed to hit 2 of my 3 major goals on heavy lifts. 405 on bench and 495 on squat. Still 40lbs off of my DL. Seem to be stuck at 545.
 
Looking jacked bro. Damn I bet those front to back presses hurt so good. lol I don't know about you but my delts are hard to train cause they stay on FIRE. Anyway I think I may steal some of your routine. Nice job

Those things light me up man. I know it's not a ton of weight or anything but doing high reps and switching it up from front to back will tear your delts apart.

I have the same problem a lot of times. I feel like my shoulders fill up so fast they start to hurt especially in front raises.
