Balance's Beasting Cycle And Workout Log

damn 500 squat nice bro! u got a video? was the low box to where you were parallel? ATG?

 

[balancefighter]

Real close to parallel . I dont really box squat to where I go down and take the weight off I just use it to judge my depth and keep me consistant. Im prob within a inch of being parallel. It sucks because we dont have an adjustable bench we can use. I would gradually like to work my way lower and lower. I was going to take a video but just didnt feel like messing with it. Before my cycle is over I want to have some vids of all my big lifts.

Arm day. Good workout. The pumps were bad again but I like it! Its wierd I get them in my delts worse then anywhere. I hit 315 on close grip today which was a nice number to hit. Funny thing is i dont like to go over 10 reps but if you look at my log there is a lot of sets for 12 and 14. This is by choice. My lifts are just going up so much I cant judge how much weight I need lol

Back and shoulders today. I wasn't feeling it. I usually do my back and shoulders fresh off a rest day. I didn't this week and I think that's what made the difference. I just didn't have the drive today. I feel liking I am starting to look good. My back is getting huge and I am feeling real hard. Cant wait to cut down in a few months. I also got a real boost to my ego today when somebody said " damn boy you getting big you on steroids?" I just lol and said just eating my ass off.

I guess I spoke to soon about the back pumps. After my back day I havent been able to stand up straight. I have chest tomorrow and am really hoping to work out the kinks. I am ready to throw up some big numbers. Will be my last chest workout while on.

Great work man! Did you get 360 or 365? You said 365 in your comments but it says 360 on your log
