7/6/14
Week 3 day 1
Weight: 164.0

- Only got 5 hours of sleep and had to squeeze in like 3 meals before sleep so my weight went up a lot.

- Upped my calories up and I will list them in another post but right now I'm just trying to increase strength, gain weight, while staying lean as possible. Easier said then done but I'm confident I can do it given my weak lifts.

- Felt pretty good today especially given I was only suppose to do 85% 5x3 for bench and I tried to do 90% and I got it. I was redic tired, out of it, and still was able to get it done. My coach thinks I'm being too aggressive since I'm not totally sticking to the program but meh, I tend to think it's fine. What's another 5%, my max numbers were passive anyway.

Day 1:

Push ups 5x3 explosive

Bench press 5x3 90% rm @211
185x5
215x3 x5

Decline bench 1x10 3x5
205x10

Best pic yet. holymotherofgod.jpg. SM must be crying somewhere in the icy north, drowning his tears in vats of creme fraiche after seeing that.

I don't think he even got that far; I just picture him reading the words "end" and "cut" and then staring at the screen, confused, for 14 hours straight.

If so you should just dethrone Busto now, you've gotta be good for 30 BW pullups.

Maybe they are FakeBusto pullups (i.e. no ROM)...

Yes, you are reading this correctly. Next time I do pull ups I'll record it and see how many I can get.

When I was in Louisiana I recorded them but I decided to delete it to free up room to record a bunch of DL sets.

Haha it wasn't world breaking, it was just to show Monte/other people interested my ROM. It was only like 22-25 of them.

wat? 15x25lbs shouldn't equal anywhere near 30x bw reps... or? To me that 22-25 range sounds more like what I'd expect.

I've done 10x10kg a couple of times and I think I could get 14-15 bw reps. But I just about never do bw reps except warmups so idk.

I'd be really surprised if you could only do 14 bw reps.

I vaguely recall doing ~25 reps at some point in the last year. I had been doing a lot of +70x3, +50x5, and +25x8 grease the groove type work but nothing with higher reps.

Not sure if this is a troll account or not. I could post my diet from day to day but it's pretty meaningless because the macro nutrients are all that matters. I could get the same results by eating other foods but these foods are my preference. Being completely honest and not to pull the broscientist card but I eat a lot of meals throughout the day and I eat a lot of Bro-ish foods.
