Still tired and aching, but I reminded myself today doesn't have to be a great day. Just show up and progress will be made.

Week One
Day 2

TNG Bench -* normal grip width
235x5x5
235x7

Beltless squats
230x4, 265x4

DL
295x1x12 - 45 seconds between sets

Chins, c2

Great attitude. Keep it up man

Odds for fakeB hitting his EOY goals without PEDs.

Bench 315 comp/330 TNG: -225
Squat 405 (to parallel): +400
Deadlift 500: +1000

Should we put money on it? I can't tell if those are good odds.

Decent fave for bench, dog for squat, massive dog for the deadlift number by jdock's reckoning.

Nice, so if I hit squat I make okay money, if I hit DL jdock pays for me to retire?

Pretty much

I don't really have any idea of what FBs 1RM DL is now but if it's in the 450 range then he'd probably be good to hit 500 by year end. If it's less than that then I highly doubt it.

Will be ing nonetheless!

Did I break parallel on that 370 skwat? I feel good that I can continue to hit max 1RMs with the same depth.

Maybe I am crazy, but I find it hard to believe I won't add 35+lbs to my squat in over 6+ months.

Last DL maxes were 440, then 420. Kept getting worse LOL.

I guess we'll have a much better idea in July when I test maxes again, but that last full ten week cycle brought all kinds of gainz.

He makes that dead lift goal no problem

I believe in the power of his bust

So errybody putting down a dime on fakeB. QB betting against, Weasel+BtM go 50/50 and share the profits

I can see me being that lifter who gets to where he hits infinite DL 405 reps but always fails any attempt over 440

Yeah. +1000 might be high. Definitely no lower than +500 though.

Week One
Day 3

Comp Bench
235x4, 250x4, 255x4

Squat
275x4, 300x4

Curls, face pulls, c2

I would take a max bet on not squatting 405. Risking 4 dimes to win 1 dime.

Kid is slowing down. Has HawaiinAIDS. And the stipulation says to parallel.

I didn't see 370 though, it has to be high, no?

No bw stipulation??? Booked. You burning money, son.

Jk. Obv bw would have to be stipulated.

Idk. I thought I was making excellent progress before I took two weeks off.

Here's 370. You tell me.

Damn on my phone it looks like green light. Gain 10 pounds and odds would reverse to -200.

No action.

Def a good squat. A real grinder though. Those next ~350 1/10th lbs are gonna be a lot harder than your first ~350

I donno. That squat was a major grind. At this point fakeB isn't putting on much more muscle naturally in such a short time span without adding fat too, and I don't see it. He is too vain. I am not saying that like it's a bad thing, just a fact. I think as much S he wants to eventually squat 405 body comp is a more important priority for him.

And yes I agree putting on 10 pounds of fat to improve leverages would dramatically increase the odds. I mean that is vasically what I did to make my 405 and I probably didn't have as much LBM as fakes does now. But I don't see it happening.

So, it seems unlikely IMO he puts 30 more pounds on his squat in the next 7 months. Also, you have to factor in there is always a chance of injury and who knows how the move to Syracuse and having to deal with upstate New Yoirk winter will factor in.

Of course, as my bookie can attest, I have been wrong many times before in placing real bets, so perhaps I am wrong here. I think +400 is a fair line, unless he really is offered a chance to risk $1k to win $4k, in which case his motivations could change.

Better adjust your line. We are not moving to Syracuse anymore. Staying right where we are for the next 3+ years.

Someone put some real money on the line. We want to see money lost and maximum rustles come 2016!!!111!!!

Week One
Day 4*

CG Towel Press
250x4, 270x4, 285x4

Got pretty hard...

DL
295x1x12 - 45 Seconds between sets

Supposed to be 290 but that was way too light. 295 way too light, too, but no worries taking it easy this week. Back to big boy weights next time.

RDL -Beltless
3x8x295

Pull ups, hlrs

Feeling mostly recovered from time off.

Willing to bet ONE UNIT of avatar + location time against someone's FOUR UNITS that FakeB hits four plates PL legal this calender year. Loco first option.

If loco declines i am in! I'm shipping wraps to him right now.

To be clear, I want to back busto to hit 405
