High Frequency Westside (Kinda!)

All my other exercises are unaffected and going up like crazy, hell my wrapless SSB squat has nearly caught my straight bar squat with wraps, so something aint right!!!!!!

I didn't know you were thumbless.

Hope the change helps.

Me too!

ME Squat Day

Today was squatting with an orange band and 2 chains, I worked up to a PR of 152.5kg, it was heavy but manageable, I then hit about 6 speed sets, I was not fast enough to move up in weight but I did rep out the last set a little which actually moved well. I finished up with snatch grip RDLs and then some pullthrus and wheel o death for the abs. Solid night, got a little tired at the end tho as my food intake is down.

Hey BtB

I am using a varaition of carb backloading/ Ironaddicts warrior diet. Mostly fats all day with some protein and veggie/salad. No carbsa ll day then begin refeeding at about 4pm, training at 8pm. Its taking fat off me pretty fast, but I do get tired by the end of the week.

ME Squat Day 19/1/13

Toaday I squatted against the big blue band, it’s the heaviest band I squat against, I made a PR of 3 plates per side, real grinder it was in my last vid. I had to axe the squats there as my RH arm was toast, very painful. I did some deadlifts up to 190kg for a double, much harder than it should have been, I then hit rack pulls for triples to 210kg. Very rough day, feeling very depleted and beat up. Need to get a good re feed in this weekend to be ready for another week of this!

That's similar to how I've been eating for years. Though I only eat protein during the mornings, and a few fish oilies.

Congrats on the PR.
