MattSxvx Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 415. Nice deadlift. Your bent over rows are good as well. I used to do more weight on rows, but now i focus a lot more on the movement and feeling the contraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesxvx Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks man. I do the same on my rows, if my form feels off I correct, and if not I just rack the weight. Can't be bothered with messing my back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesxvx Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 A mix of it. My friend told me about it, and I looked into it. I guess mine is more of a combo between Coan and Wendler's 5/3/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to start shedding off that fat starting today. Getting my protein in and cutting out some of the carbs I don't really use/need. We'll see how well this goes. This is the first time I'll be cutting, should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesxvx Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Back at home for a week which means no gym.Also leads to getting back to running regularly. Hit a 6 km run a little after dinner, still had it in me, just barely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
