I'm not cutting anymore, 4 months was more than enough (perhaps this journal needs a new title) .. I'm sticking around 10-12% which is absolutely as fat as I ever intend to get again.
yeah pulling in the douche-corner was a bad idea, they have the crossover AND a cable curl machine there & it's prime mirror real-estate (the mirrors are nicely distorted to make the little guys look bigger than they really are).. but no way I was going to prevent someone using the power rack or squat rack.
my gym is almost completely packed in with useless shite now, 3 more preacher curl benches, another rack for dbs up to 45lbs, a couple more terrible hammer MTS bicep/tricep machines and of course there's something new for the abs - a machine the size of a king-sized bed that supposedly is great for targetting the core. Cant manouver around without banging into something which for someone as uncordinated as me isnt good

I have no idea, hopefully under 12%.. I look leaner than I really am as my ab muscles are huge and protude out visably even at higher bodyfat levels (those 3 sets of crunches I did last year really paid off 
)
Had to work out 2 days in a row due to work and the gf, I really hate doing that as it short circuits progress slightly & my CNS wasn't fully recharged. Still a good, but very long session
Decline, warmed up then hit 405 x 5 (tried 6 but failed), 455 x 1 (decline PR), 315 x 15
http://media.putfile.com/405x5decline
talked about gear for about 20 mins with the guy spotting me then moved onto
hammer pulldowns, 4 plates a side + a 35,
Right arm 8-4-3 reps (rest pause DC style)
Left arm 8-3-3
Smith low incline, 335 x 9
Cable row 340 x 5 (not great form), 250 x 8
hammer shoulder press 3 plates/side 5-3-0 (DC style rest pause)
Workout took waaaaay too long but I was pleased to get those reps with the decline.. hopefully I'll hit 425 x 3 and 385 x 8 next time.

You look way under 12% in your av. I'm no expert, but your so ripped you look hungry. I'm very close to 12% and my abs are nothing like yours. Maybe I should start doing crunches...but seriously though, the abs get big and protrude because of the heavy decline sit ups? And of course all the core work you get? Congrats on the PR. Maybe one day before I die, I'll be able to deadlift what you hit on the decline bench. Excellent job.

Son of a bitch. Great set. It's ashame that you couldn't get the other guy to spot you (the one from the safety squat machine). He should be your featured spotter in every video. Sure, you might have gotten crushed on that 6th rep but hey, that's what it's all about

yea tweakle i agree with blitz, he must be designated as your spotter from now on. (ok ok, not on you new PR's, but an old PR you know u can blast) just because we all want to see his face shit a brick again lol.
Nice lift bro, 405x5 on the fuckin decline. sick.
Do you do decline work much? i havnt decline in such a long time, it would be nice to throw that in my next 5x5, if theres a point.
I incline with dumbels and flat bench barbell on the 5x5 im running, maybe i could throw in decline instead of incline. Have you seen results from the decline? i always here mixed reviews.

Did that kid in the white shirt offer to hold your nuts for you? The way he was staring, I think he has a man crush. LoL
Nice work, as always.
How close are you to getting back under the BB squat?
