Thanks Mike!


Bringing this over from my Volatile Log (thanks again for the free loot LtL!) because it i enjoy it too much not to double post.

Day 4 of Volatile.

The natives are growing restless. At first they were accommodating, showing little fear of the giant pale face. Then the clanging began. Clouds of chalk dust surrounded his massive form, spots of blood spattered the abs platform as he hoisted unimaginable, bar bending weight into the air, only to send it crashing back down. Doesn't he know this is taboo? That the great God Weider commands light weight and repetitions to failure? Their customs are broken, their women enamored with this newcomer. He must be expelled.

Seriously though, good workout today. Some good energy and a little of the face tingles from Volatile. Energy and motivation stayed high, good recovery.

Thats for sure. I could barely sleep that night from the cramps in my abs and lower back. Feeling better each day though.


Good squat session today. Wore a belt for all squat sets as my back and abs are still hating on me from the yoke work. Skipped power cleans for the same reason.

135 x 3
135 x 3
185 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 1
260 x 5 triples - a few weren't to depth. belt makes it tough to get down, but I'm learning. No back pain though.


Single Leg Curls - while I waited for the leg press to open up
25 x 10 x 2

Leg Press
260 x 10
350 x 5

Nice session today Brute, almost same layout as I did earlier today....
Smart move with the belt

That's how it's done.

Can't wait to see that creep up to 316, then to 365.

You are training like a monster! Keep up the good work man; those are some very nice numbers.
