Big improvement from the beginning of the cube. I was hitting 185 for 8, ending with 215.

Been bulking this week and hope to put on some mass in the next few months.

Funny how Brandon says not to pull from the floor aye ?!

Yeah, but I see where he gets it from in a way. I dropped my box pulls from 4" to 2" and the weight flies up, and I have no doubt that from the floor it will be the same way. The 1" deficit helps as well I think.

Still threw me off a bit haha

Great work in here, looks like you are getting some solid rewards with The Cube.

You should check out the page they have up on Facebook if you're on there, Brandon posts in there regularly and there's always good help and feedback as well. What have you got on for the weekend James?

Oh definitely, I think I'me seeing a lot of strength gains.

I do follow them the on facebook, so many posts, its awesome.

Just going to do some homework and hit the gym on Sunday.

Cool man ~ hey feel free to hit me up on Facebook. I'm on there as Mini Forklift, I changed my name for a laugh and now it won't let me change back to my real name lol.

I'm on there normally and I also have a page that as I use kinda like a 'fan page'. Would be cool to have you as a friend on there James, chur chur.

I actually don't have facebook anymore haha. I deleted it last week. I'm trying the whole Not existing on social media for a bit. So far its really cool, a lot more time to lift and work on schoolwork! So far so good

Yeah I've done that a few times before. Felt great, good for you!
