I been loving those cage presses!!! Glad you introduced me to em couple mos ago or however long it's been.
The cuffed laterals I like pretty well too. I've done em in the past and loved em but for some reason they don't seem to hit like they used to or any better than DB laterals. At least it's something different tho.

Think of pushing your wrist down and out instead of just pulling it up and out

That's the exact cue I e been giving people. It'll come together after another try or two at most

I keep leaving my log book in the car and too lazy after shower and laying in bed to go get it but training has went extremely well last two days. Progress all the way around. I do remember yesterday I got 495×7 deadlifting and today no progress with flat BB press with 315 but got 295×6 and 245×11 and failed half way up with the 12th rep. Smashed incline Smith too. I'll get everything updated tomorrow

[samgraves82]

Yesterday was shoulders and Tris
Super good day. Shoulder press the 90s x 12 and Smith close gripped 245x14 I believe it was. Elbow was a bit crunchy and poppy lol so had to cut back and replace DB ext and Smith was taken at the time so had to improvise the behind the neck presses on a machine.
It's almost time to kick off prep/cycle so look forward to that next week.

Hey guys I just want to take the time to look at our team of killers.... You can spin around this forum and you won't find a team of guys making gains like the guys on Euro Pharmacies whether it's us or PSL or steroidfly... You won't find it.

Npp - it's not that you can "get away with it" per say. You're furnace and keeping you full will be the hardest part of prep.

Everyone gets flat, and getting flat is part of it but, given your unbelievable metabolism, we will try to avoid it when ever we can.

Also, no tren to start for the same reasons, we don't need any increases in metabolism whatsoever and it's notorious for making people flatten out who are already chewing through calories.

Gonna be a fun run. Short, but fun

Hell yea it is

 

[samgraves82]

Squatting didn't go as planned. Really thought I had that 6th rep with 385 but just didn't. The video looked great, but it just felt so damn heavy and "off!" I felt my form break I thought,but again, video looked great. Oh well, got 365x6 next set.

I'm not the biggest fan of tren anyway. Last few weeks will be plenty for me I think too

Had a muscle round only day as part of the new @fortitude_training template I'm using going into prep. I love this style and wish I'd never stopped it. Need to up the weight a bit almost across the board but not bad for first day and failed on last rep of every set obviously. I did:
wide grip pulldowns 4/4/4/4/4/6 @ 140lb
Hammer flat press 4/4/4/4/4/4 @ 2 pps
Hammer incline 4/4/4/4/4/2 @2pps
Hammer shoulder press 4/4/4/4/3 @2pps
Vbar press down 4/4/4/4/3 @160lbs
My tricep was cramping and hurt so bad in that pic

Do you get in a groove with the muscle rounds and lose count of what set you’re on? I always seem to go brain dead at about set 4

Yup. Now I either have my gal count for me or walk to my book and write it down while I take my 10 sec/5 breaths
