Re: The Iron Clad log: Couple new videos up on p4
Been to Bone Breaker Barbell a couple times since I last posted here.
I pulled 269 x 2 this past weekend (which was 7th set of the day)
I haven't posted this here yet but my wife and I split up 3 months ago. Motivation to workout is about 1/10th of what it used to be. I was undereating for a while (2500-3000 cals/day vs. usual 3500-3600) and lost some weight. I was down to 155 at my skinniest, now back up to 158. I am slowly building back my exercise habit. It's been tough. I have been 100% 80/10/10 for 129 days now. At day 150 I'm going to take a break, have some rice, maybe some gluten-free/soy-free vegan pizza, who knows. I really want to have some of those foods again. However, I have a feeling that after 5 months raw, my body is going to rebel. So I may be back on 100% raw again pretty quickly. It will be a fun experiment

Hey Ben,
cool video! sorry to hear about the split, but glad you're eating again! yeah..my body had a fit when we started eating cooked again. everything tastes so different once you've been raw. i didn't go back to raw fully, but have kept up with tons of fruits/veg in the diet and my energy levels are actually higher than they've ever been

Re: Back on my regimen

7/13: Legs / Shoulder workout. Later 1hr Stand-up Paddleboarding (whoah core workout!)
7/15: Bench / Barbell Shrugs / Chest Flies at Bonebreaker barbell. Shrugged 357 x 5!
Kinda messed up my toe yesterday. I was moving the incline bench and kinda of rammed it over my foot. Hopefully I can still run.

Re: Back on my regimen
Toe is f'd up but I'm managing. Ain't nothin' but a little peanut!
Runnin' fool this week. Ran 4 miles Tuesday, HIIT run yesterday, then 3 miles today. Thrown some pull ups, dips and pushups in there too.
Bonebreaker is blowing up! I was promoting the hell out of it at Vegan Drinks last night. I think we may even get KATE to workout there some time soon.

Re: Back on my regimen
What's up, dogg?
You're deadlifting 300+lbs now?
Wow! Awesome stuff!
Keep after it. See you when I get back.
Thanks for posting the Big Bald Mike interview as well. I've been sharing it around online and will get it on our main site soon.

Re: Back on my regimen
Awesome. Yes, I deadlifted 3 plates on each side this past Sunday, 315!! My back is getting strong!
I'm applying to chiropractic schools right now. Wherever I go, probably LA, Dallas or Atlanta, I will make sure you get the hook up on some work on your back.

Re: Back on my regimen
Awesome man!
Wow, I am really impressed with your strength!
I only got up to 321 at Bonebreaker on the deadlift before taking a break from lifting. 337 is my all-time best.
Say hi to everyone for me.
All the best with your school applications!
