It's going good. I'm on my own now since my free training sessions are up, but I think he gave a good foundation to start with. I wish I could hook up with some other lifters, especially female... I think that would be inspiring to work with others that have the same passion. My state is so small though that I don't know where to start. I don't know of any at my gym. I've decided to do a 4-day split as follows:
Tuesdays - Chest and Back
Thursdays - Legs
Saturdays - Triceps and Biceps
Sundays - Shoulders and Abs
I do cardio each day for about 30min and a little abs each day. I'm gonna try to make Sunday my main abs day though. Still really sore, but I'm working through it... soon there will be more muscle where that soreness is and a 6-pack where that little belly is.

Looks like a really solid routine. And seems you are making great progress. I know exactly what you mean. Its extremely difficult to find someone with the same passion for lifting. Very few people are dedicated to it. What state are you in? Im in florida. I train with someone 2x a week and it makes a big difference. haha Really its necessary if I want to live to perform the next set
Im sure you will get the results your looking for. Persistance is the main thing. Most people never stick with any type of routine. Just keep at it and youll acheive anything you set your mind too! IMO you already look awesome

You got it man!
I don't know how you can do those behind the back. My ass gets in the way when I've tried those.

Hey d3! Cool! Is that what its called? Do I finally have a name for this odd lift? ThanX bro! With everyone behind me I know Im gonna kill this shit. If I fail, Ill be sure to humiliate myself by writing a post on how the weight kicked my ass. haha 700 will be off the power rack on the lowest setting, 565 is my best off the floor. ThanX again!

I had the same problem. The range of motion seems pretty natural to me. I get 100lbs more off the floor then with a standard dead, and 165 more off the power rack then with a regular dead.
So Im definately alot stronger on this movement. Deads are still awkward to me,I have yet to find my groove. ThanX Mike!

Hey D3! ThanX bro. Its cool to find someone else on here who does these. Seems like Im the only one haha. I should get some videos up next month on this lift. I was only going for one rep, Im sure I couldve bounced a few extra reps off the pins though haha. My goal was 700,but ended up getting 715 pretty easy and then tried 725. By that time I was pretty beat up. But Im sure Ill get it next week. I start the movement with my back kind of hunched over, and just a little bend in my legs. So Im using mostly lower and upper back it seems.. My legs arent even sore at all. Also for some reason , Im not too sore at all anywhere today. Maybe its cuz I did mostly one rep sets and didnt rep out with the heavy weights as usual. ThanX again!
d3track said:
Nice! I switch it up. I do them off the floor and then another week switch to a few inches off the floor in the rack,sometimes I do both variations in the same day. haha As it stands now, I can get 150lbs more in the rack (lowest setting) then I can off the floor. But hoping to bring it all together and break 600 off the floor soon. My goal when doing them, is just to get the weight up to full extention by any means possible haha.

ThanX Star! Thats a HUGE compliment! I still have a long way to go before I reach that level Im sure. Also Id have to train specifically for strongman and dont really even know where to begin. Powerlifting has been more my thing lately, but strongman could be awesome too. Havent explored it yet. Really appreciate the compliment though.
