Steve Bro's Log

I went into the gym today for my ME lower body workout. I rode my bike for 10 minutes and stretched like I always do. I started my deadlifts and for some reason when I was warming up with 275 it felt extremely light. For some retarded reason I started exploding up extremely fast and on my last rep I got a sharp pain in my lower back. It hurt really bad and I attempted my next warm up set of 315 and the pain was horrible on the first one so I called it quits. I’m so pissed at myself for being sloppy on my form, I always go slow and for some odd reason I wanted to go fast. Currently it hurts to sit and hurts to bend over all the way down. Hopefully it’s something minor, but if it still feels this way I’m def. calling the doctor first thing in the morning.

I have been way to busy with school to really have time to write my stats down. Although I did get 455 on deadlift today and got number 10 at my gyms top 10 strongest dead. I am 25 pounds away from obtaining number 9. My bench and squat on the other hand are miles away from breaking the top 10.

Been too busy for log, but I started a mass gaining routine about 4 weeks ago. Currently I take in a little over 400 carbs a day, 100 grams of fat, and 350 grams of protein. I have seen good results in size and strength.

Weight:242 lbs.
Arms:18"

For only been working your lower body out a short while, your squat and dead are really strong. So is your bench.

How old are you?

I just turned 21. My deadlifts skyrocketed once I got my form down and I’m hoping my squats will do the same.
