I've been taking online courses during the summer to help me graduate next year, so I'm definitely busy. But thi next one seems to be a lot more writing and a lot less studying so that will be cool. My body weights has dipped to 165, a decrease from where I sat around the 175 mark a few months ago. This is due to landscaping for 11 hours or more everyday. My lifts haven't seen a decrease though:Bench 170x4Deadlift 335x5, 355x1MP 135x1Squat 245x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesxvx Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Stepped on the scale today after my shower, turns out I weigh 163, leanest and strongest I have ever been. I'm really happy, but I'm hoping to pack on some muscle and step up my calories and turn that into some mass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asparagus Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 What happened to your squats dude? A few months back you were hitting 315 - did you have an extended stint of not lifting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesxvx Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Yeah man, I blew some tendons in my ankle while I was out for a run. Knocked me out of lifting for a month. But on a plus side it got me to correct my form and do full depth squats which I wasn't really accomplishing before. So it was a good thing I guess? I'd rather be hitting my weights now than hitting 315 at 3/4 depth. I think I'll be able to get there sometime in the future though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asparagus Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ouch man, sorry to hear of the mishap. Good work on your recovery though, and I agree that it's much more fulfilling when you can hit ATG squats at good weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I was ready to bump up my max, as every time I was DL'ing I was hitting more reps and more weight. Really happy with getting that today. Decline Sit Ups with 15lbs medicine ball4 sets of 15. Bent Over Rows135x10145x10145x10145x10 Cut my workout a little short, my upper back is still sore from loading mulch all last week and raking, and I knew my form wasn't going to be on par.

jamesxvx Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 I've been busy with everything going on right now, and updating my journal is proving to be difficult. I'm still hitting the gym, and tracking my progress. So here's my new maxes as of today:Bench 185x2Deadlift 375x1MP 140x1Squat 265x2 Body weight is currently 168.

Bode Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Man, that is a sick deadlift. I'm just a few pounds lighter than you and trying to work my way up to 2x bodyweight for now. Got any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesxvx Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thanks man. It just takes work and dedication. Just keep going to the gym and pushing yourself and remember half the battle is mental. I you have a bad week, just give everything you have next week and you'll be there in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
