Train with Faz on ANY day except the 21st and I'm game (and the 24th/25th).

Yeah "thanks" for the wrap Unfortunately this one is confirmed for the 21st as it's the best weekend for Faz and I but at least you'll be snapping necks and doing other gridiron stuff

If I didn't train when I am tired, I wouldn't train. It builds mental strength as well. Got a decent 7 hours last night

Big Pete is also looking spiffy!!

Thanks Jim. Hoping the box form translates to better free squat form as well.

I'm easy to move dates around as long as you guys are, the 20th for example would be fine as well as long as it's morning or early PM.

Or the week after. Weekdays are difficult for me though. Would be great to get both of you down.

I know your weigh-ins are generally 24hours but how would you structure a backload protocol for a same day weigh-in. I am competing at 205lbs (IPF/GBPF meet) and will be cutting around 7-10lbs. At the moment I am maintaining weight around 212 and backloading every day. My normal water load routine is from an article on EliteFTS where I load for a few days and shut off the night before.

Thanks in advance.

Al
The rule of thumb is that you want to put on the same amount of weight that you cut. 7 lbs is a lot of weight to put on in two hours, as that's usually the time someone gets before a meet on same day weigh ins. So you are asking me what "I" would do, I'd try to get down a little food like a banana or two and a few bagels. What I'd focus on most is trying to get as much lactose free skim milk down as I could. Kiefer had me do this for my last cut and I held weight much better than with gatorade. Remember, a gallon of fluid is 8 lbs, but you need to be able to hold on to it.

Good luck

Great session tonight. Got some good volume in. I really like this exercise to overload the lockout. It just doesn't get any easier all of the way up. Awesome. Next Max Effort will be with Faz and I'll be back in the shirt: I'm excited!

Without me. ****ers.

Nice work tonight man, smashed that floor press. Dude in the blue dress-like t-shirt is pretty sexual as well. Lookin' hench.
