Good stuff Chris, Tom & Huy!

Spent the day in Chicago seeing the sites with the wife. Had a rly great day! :-)

Managed to get a lift in at the hotel too ... only 45min but still not bad considering the gym setup they have. Even managed to squat :-)

Ok, I think that I've tried to fight the "add lean muscle while losing fat" war long enough and fried my CNS sufficiently. I'm gonna keep squatting every day but I'm gonna peddle back on my load and I'm gonna peddle back on the overall load of my compound lifts.

Time to just commit to a cut and ramp up my cardio, focus on my diet and do more hypertrophic lifting.
Like I said, still gonna SED and I'll still dead twice a week but it'll be more about volume than PRs. Won't be seeing any PRs for a while id imagine. :-)

As always, your pull-up volume is impressive, Huy! #stud

Day97 of SED in the books.

Seems to have slowed down a bit in this thread last week. Hope everyone is doing well. :-)
[Reply]

Still SED, rock on Charlie! Good lifts Huy!


Quickie for my tonight with a teething infant.

Heavy Bench 5x5
SS with BB Shrugs 4x15

Trying to work toward being able to start the Bench Most Dayz program after all the success Charlie has had. I still can't do wide grip bench with anything reasonable weight wise so I got some work to do.

Power rack was ordered tonight from NYBB. Should be here next week and the squating can begin in earnest.
[Reply]

Failed on 295 front squat ... nearly had it though.
Managed to pull 405 sumo, which is a best for me in that style. Came up easier than I expected. I think that working on my form a lot lately has rly helped.

Did some hypertrophic arms to finish off the day.
[Reply]

You'll get it, Charlie! :-)

Back into it for 2 weeks and now I get another 5 day break for Shack. I won't wait to get back in when I return this time though. :-)
[Reply]

Good to hear from ya, Tom! :-)

So we're midway through August now ... what goals are you guys hoping to achieve by xmas/end of the year?
