[Guinness5.0]

Dude, you've got some serious potential IMO. If you ever to decide to really get serious about this (not trying to tell you to, just saying IF) I bet you'd be throwing some serius fucking weight around.

in utah till next thursday.. anyhow i forgot to mention on my deads i'm not using straps or belt.. nor am i on my squats using a belt.. would you all recommend me using a belt? i def will never be using straps cause i'd rather improve my grip at the same time.. my grip is getting pretty good.. considering i held that 405 with no slippage whatsoever.. anyhow hit me back with some feedback on using belt.. needsize said he's never used belt so thats the kindof route i was taking ... feed back please thanks P

I haven't used a belt or straps in probably...(thinking)...10 years.

 

[Guinness5.0]

I don't necessarily think you should never use a belt, but if you only use it on rare occasions you're better off IMO. By rare occasions I mean maxing out.

Personally I don't use a belt at this point but I may use one for heavy DL singles. I use straps b/c I'm a little worried about using a mixed grip.

really haven't lost any strength.. i think i actually lost some weight on the snowboard trip because my arms were looking shredded as fuck when i was doing the curls and shit.. i was pretty impressed with myself.. anyhow gonna hit up gym tommorow hit shoulders hard and do some random bicep/tricep shit..

now ill finally be able to proceed with my single factor.. me leaving town twice in 2 months didn't help me increase in gains.. so i'm still gonna say i'm at week 4 or 5.. gonna ride it out as long as possible now and work my ass off..

Do endurance core/ab work, as I recommended to AB in his journal. It seems to be doing him good, as well as myself and others.

 

[Phaded]

and endurance core/ab work would be?

Check the later posts in his journal. Curlups, side bridges, birddogs, reverse hypers and/or hypers - daily. Much more detail in his journal, look for my posts.
