Wow I'm sore today, lol... Chest isn't used to that.

CS: Thanks man... can't beat those perfect workouts.

ricanx99: Thanks dude. LoL, that sucks... i thought my gym was bad just going up to 115's. They're all ergo grips which suck ass. I'll be switching back to another gym i used to go to in March... bigger DB's and regular handles. Smaller, but it'll have to do..

HiDn: Thanks bor!

Well get off your ass and go pull something...

Meet Mr. Texas circa 1998 in the gym. Middleweight, bout 5'6". He is still very ripped. I asked him about his diet. He said he eats 'only steamed food' 6 days a week, and chocolate doughnuts all day Sunday. "Then I do leg's Monday". hought you might like to know...

He is not very strong, but I'm sure he is a hit at the beach...and a super nice guy, not punking his sport of choice...

Week 13 Day 2
Sunday
2.11.2007

Cutting diet continues - a.m. 223.0 lbs

2:25pm-3:24pm

G.P. Row: Barx8, 135x5, 155x5, 185x5, 205x5, 225x5

- lower back was feeling "iffy" ... major stretching all through workout.

Sumo DL: 225x8, 275x5, 315x5, 365x1*

*holy hell, so fatigued by then... at the top of the pull I just stood there... in relief. No way was I going to risk back injury by trying another rep. Happy with that for a few weeks back to Dead lifting.

DB Row: 80x8, 90x8, 100x8

Really nice to see you pulling from the floor bro - great job.

Thanks bro. It feels great to avoid the hammer strength and T-bar supported again.


*cutting update*

I forgot to mention: Lost a notch in my lifting belt yesterday

Re: Sarge hits the 5x5 for Ginormous Soleus Muscles!! - Log

me too! Thanks bro... no weight goal... recomposition, holding around 220+ would be nice... much leaner.

Lost a ton of bloat so far ~ 2 weeks on clean diet.

Tracking progress via clothes (mostly waistline, belt, pants, ect). Tape measurements and mirror.

If you'll be sticking with sumo deads for the foreseeable future, do you plan to add a lift that replaces the lumbar work that conventional deads would have provided (e.g., SLDL, RDL, GM)?
