First couple of sets without the belt you can really see my back flex.[/quote]
You got a little bit of butt wink, but it seems like every lifter’s back flattens as they bottom out–even world class o-lifters–so I wouldn’t worry about it.
Still wouldn’t hurt to work on hip mobility

I ate something bad yesterday and wasn’t feeling great, but did end up feeling strong on the bench.
Having a solid, stable bench makes a world of difference. I need to start looking for a new one for my house.

I then packed up my gym bag and was walking out when I remember I was going to do some shoulder pressing so I went and just did one really hard set.

No calf work today because the bottoms of my feet have been really tight. My new foam roller was waiting for me when I got home so I spent about 20 minutes rolling and did some grip work with my new heavy grippers.
Nice, you using a lacrosse ball or baseball as well? For calves, glutes, and especially the bottom of your feet, it can pinpoint the sore spots.

Been using a tennis ball, but it doesn’t seem to hurt enough.

It’s kinda like playing with a lose tooth. It hurts but its addicting and almost fun.

Decided I needed to do something to get some girls on here so I showed some skin in this video.
No, really it’s been 100 degrees outside and while my basement stay fairly cool being mostly underground, it was hot down there.
Been keeping up the foam rolling and grip work.
Got a new training partner this weekend named Maggie. She’s really cute, Pics to follow.
Maggie
Sleep is important for putting on muscle.
She weighed in at a skinny 12.6 pounds. Got her on a bulking diet and training compound movements like “annoy the crap out of my malamute” and “chew on the couch”.
Maggie FTW

100% pure bread mutt from a garage sale. The mom was a blue healer, dad we think might have been a lab.
She’s already too smart for her own good at 10 weeks. She’s escaping everywhere we put her, and is already coming to her name after 2 days (she’s 10 weeks old).
So last week I found out late Tuesday I had to make a run to VA. Got back Friday and went to plan out my final lead up to the meet. Went online to print out the registration form and found out the meet was canceled. Sucks.
I’ll probably go start looking for another one.
So decided to switch things up a bit to a 4 day split. Shoulders/biceps, deadlift/hams/butt, chest/triceps/upper back, squats/quads/calves.
Though I haven’t hit my weight goal I’m going to start leaning out a bit.
