[Essensen]

Strong as hell Big-Z - awesome deadlifts! But it kinda looks like stifflegged deads cause' you don't touch the ground with the weight - any particular reason you don't do that ?

 

[Rocky]

Incredible strength for sure. Fantastic work on those immense deads.

 

[Big_Guns_Lance]

Awesome deads there bro. You do deadlifts similar to me, in that you don't use your legs that much to help you with the deadlift.

 

[El Freako]

Massive deads big man, I'll admit I did lol at your collapse at the end of the video. Squats next time? You know you wanna!

Thanks PV Yea ..did it and it hurt. :crymeariver:

Thanks bud.
Well yea, when dead lifting I like to isolate the muscle worked to being just the lowerback. it is a original traditional turned romanian after rep one. But during powerlift meets before I would changed to sumo or non energy conservative traditional. And alot of people when the weight hits the ground use that bounce at the bottom to lift it half way back up.... which is cheating I don't care what you've heard lol. I like to keep the constant pressure and weight on my lower back to squeeze all there is out of it and get the most out of my deadlift work out.

Incredible strength for sure. Fantastic work on those immense deads.

Thanks Rock, as always the vids doesn't do it justice I was in constant pain the entire time when I was resting i was lying on my back the hardest part was unloading 315 after all that lol.

Awesome deads there bro. You do deadlifts similar to me, in that you don't use your legs that much to help you with the deadlift.

Thanks man.
Yea I like to save legs for... leg day lol, I'll bop my hips up and down to get good leverage for the initial lift then isolate the back from there on out.

Massive deads big man, I'll admit I did lol at your collapse at the end of the video. Squats next time? You know you wanna!

Thanks bud, hardest part is getting the initial weight to shoulder level, so im like super curling the 100's to my shoulder while sitting at the same time to set up lol.

Thanks Bulkboy, was feeling great as well.

And lately I really been feeling on top of the game, getting gains and people at the university, started commenting me on my body lately ... (i don't see it but they do lol.) People are starting to stop and ask me about weightlifting etc.. kinda great but is getting annoying quickly lol. Waistline is getting considerably smaller, and should chest and legs getting bigger but my weight jumped up to 325 and remains at a steady 325lbs. but im not sure it's fat.

[Stand BB Curl]

1 x 12 @ Bar
1 x 12 @ 95 lbs.
1 x 12 @ 115 lbs.
1 x 12 @ 135 lbs.
1 x 8 @ 155 lbs.

Although a fail, complete and perfect form and loved the pump for it... but that was warm up.

[Standing DB Curls, Alt. Arms] Slow and perfect form

1 x 10 @ 35 lbs.
1 x 10 @ 50 lbs.
1 x 10 @ 65 lbs.


[Cable EZ Bar, Preacher Curls]

1 x 12 @ 100 lbs.
1 x 12 @ 120 lbs.
1 x 12 @ 140 lbs.
1 x 12 @ 150 lbs.
1 x 12 @ 100 lbs.

BURN!!

[Seated Overhead Single Arm Pull Curls]

3 x 15 @ 40 lbs.

[Seated Single Arm concentrated Curls]

3 x 12 @ 40 lbs.

Cool-down

[Delt Row Machine]

4 x 10 @ 65 lbs.

These were ultra slow about 25 secs a rep, 10 secs on the pull, 5 seconds hold and 10 second release with a 2-3 second break before next rep.

[Yates Styled BB Rows]

1 x 12 @ 135 lbs.
2 x 12 @ 225 lbs.
1 x 10 @ 315 lbs.

I was actually unsure about doing these becuase of the bicep work that appeared to be involved and I just finished bicep work, also never done this style before but I gotta say I absolutely loved it it's a different type of rowing feel and I felt each rep strike the rear delt, Ultra awesome pump.
This will be my BB Row of choice for now on and concentrated on perfect form each rep but failed to get last two reps on 315 due to grip and muscle failure.


[Static Rear Deltoid Flyes]

3 x 4 @ 150 lbs. Each rep held for 25 to 30 secs mostly 25 though

[Cardio Bike]

10 minutes fast pedalling

[Treadmill]

Walked 8 blocks from the gym and turned around and went back.

[Gym Lobby]

Thats about it awesome workout, all my workouts have been great I been feeling motivated through the roof, meals are being hit on key and everything. Overall just feeling great and sore I love it. And waiting for 8 minutes... hungry as hell to eat meal 5...
