El Freako: Staying North of Vag

[El Freako]

those zerchers are sick dude. You really made it look really easy even if you say it felt harder.

shame about your shoulder, at least you went out and got a diagnosis, props to you.

Kurt and Ben training session? pics?

I gave myself a pretty conservative starting max when I began this cycle but hopefully I might get out a 150kg single afterwards... maybe... fingers-crossed. It'll all depend on how my upper-back has responded to the volume.

Sadly a Ben/Kurt sesh won't be happening. I've got far too much shit I need to do today.

 

[Skeptic]

Not today.... on the 25th. You know, the 25th of June

 

[El Freako]

Fuck, for some reason I thought you meant today.

 

[Skeptic]

Haha, silly pants.

 

[Clint]

[El Freako]

Yeah, been back here for over 6 months.

+50 Pullups

And a vid, no crying but you get to meet my training partner Paz. We train under his back deck.

 

[Skeptic]

Nice work mate! Hows Paz at lifting?

 

[El Freako]

^He's a fit motherfucker but has some room to improve in the strength stakes. He's only 77kg so he could add a bit of mass too.

I think he maxes with a 100kg bench and I've got him to squat deeper than he was which has dropped his max to 130kg. He's smoloving back squats with me at the moment.

 

[Skeptic]

Hahaha, nice work!

Btw, I'm hoping to get a digital camera for my birthday, so I'll try record some of my smolov lifts if I do

Nice Zerchers Ben! Definately need your training partner to toughen up though tell him to fight me 1 pinfall for a finish.
