I love carbs! Their just not for me however. I’ve discovered alot in the last few days and 1. They bloat the hell out of me 2. I feel healthier without carbs. Energy levels are sort of lower than usual but once my body adapts and converts fats to energy I’ll be set. Deep water is about physical strength, but the focus is really mental. You can do this bro. Really the reason I’m not suffering that bad is because im a routine orientated person. My new routine is this diet so it’s easy to follow

Slight change of plans, gonna compete at Giants of the Bayou on April 6th to qualify for nats. Closer drive for me and not as last minute as big Tex winter rumble. Trying to not piss off parents with last minute plans lol.
Thanks! It’s a different animal than the barbell, so it’s just another implement to get used to and get stronger with.

Decline Skullcrushers- 55lbs/25kg x15 x4 Grips (No rest between grip switch)
Goal with these workouts is to basically get my lockout conditioning on point and in general boost my pressing/tricep strength. Not to mention I want triceps comparable to the people on
“My 600lbs life”… but made out of muscle of course.

You ever tried heavy bench lockouts?Take about 10%-20% over your max,lock the weight out and hold for 10 seconds.James Strickland does this to prep his CNS into holding large weights on the bench.(This helped me alot with benching along with heavy weighted dips.)

Never tried them but I do similar things. Namely Overhead Jerk Recoveries. Around 110%-120% of my max and hold for 10sec. It’s a part of my game plan to make the Log at Nationals feel light.
Also heavy weighted dips were a godsend for my pressing. I especially like overloading the FOOK out of my triceps with slingshot weighted dips.

Light Band Tricep Ext. and Hammer Curls because I smashed the fook out of my elbow by accident today… aka mocking my friend who does MMA by spinning around with my elbows and then accidentally elbowing a metal towel dispenser… Needless to say I won the battle, but the Dispenser won the war. No noticeable decrease in performance, but definitely discomfort and some pain.
