[musclenz]

Also,

I dug up an old leg pic from my bodyspace dated Nov 2009, so decided to take another one 2 years on to see how much they've grown... Pretty happy with the progress.

(Note: calves conveniently cut out of both images :pfft: )

Which one is the latest one? Only kidding, good progress Mike. I heard you are on a bit of a mission. Keep it up. As big a outside sweep as the Freek :pfft:

Today was week one of three, only for deadlift though. Just to see where I'm at and see if there's any glaring weaknesses.

Thursday - 07/01

Cardio 30 mins stationary bike HR 120-130

Delts

True log press (strict & paused) 2x40x10 65x8 85x9 PB 90x6 PB 80x7

Seated barbell press 40x10 60x10 70x8 60x10

Cable lateral raise (rope) 30x15 2x40x15

Weight gain must be starting to influence my strength. Log press up big time, got 85x6 last week. Also when I had a crack at 90 a couple weeks ago I only got three reps. So big PBs here. Unfortunately Dr. Soft upped me one rep over the two top sets, but I account for that difference with his elbow sleeves 8). 90x8-10 next week, let's see if he can keep up with the pace.

[Best Bench]

Doc is sticking to his injury prevention story, its a classic!! Funny how he can never get a baby sitter on race day. You will have him next week, have you considered wrapping your elbows for "injury prevention"?
