Now that my shoulders are all healed up, I have been back in the gym lifting heavy 5 days a week.
Been hittin it with some new friends who are great for pushing me to push harder every time I walk into the gym. One of them uses a GoPro to be able to look back on the day, and for accountability. So, after a few weeks of talking about it, I got one. These things are awesome. Today was a light day, second Dead day this week, but I got to test this thing out. 
Gonna try to keep this updated, but I haven't been great at that for the last few threads either

whats with the chains through the plates? They're a training aid. When the plates are at rest on the floor, they weigh essentially what is racked on the bar. However, as you pull from the floor the weight goes up as you pick up more of the chain. There's about 30# of chain there. Also good for adding a little more intensity to your squats, Lightens as you break parallel, and gets heavier as you go up. Some info here Some more info |

Fuck lugging them to the gym though, I'm going to "donate" them.

I'm just messing with you man, nice work. Nice gym, too. That even looks nicer than my gym which I think is awesome. I'm not a powerlifter, but I'll drape some short chains around my neck for dips and chins from time to time. I think the short sections that I use are 20 lbs. |

I break parallel in most of them, even though the camera angle makes it look like I don't. Go squat more than a plate before you talk to me.

Yesterday- Chest Went to see the doc afterwards for a regular checkup. He did some voodoo fucking magic kung fu shit to my shoulders and they both went POP and now they feel a lot less like extremely tightly wound springs and more like regular.  It was funny because he had to lean in and use his entire bodyweight to do it.

From yesterday. Switched from barbell to dumbbell bench. Those 105# DB's seem way heavier than 245# on the barbell..
Will work my way up to 135# DB's and then switch back to BB. Bench vids really show what a fat fuck I am
Sad news is that my gym is closing down at the end of the month. Good news is that I have already located a new gym, and they have a full Rogue rack setup and all sorts of cool stuff. Was just about to pull the trigger on a Rogue Log and got a "fuck you, we made a mistake back in 2013, now pay us you fucker" letter from the IRS that morning... so there goes all my money for a while. 
Body fat down another 2%. Weight remaining approximately the same, definitely putting on some mass though. Happy with progress so far.
Half the time I'm at the gym I totally forget to turn the GoPro on, and the other half of the time I get too into the zone to remember to do so. Going to take it with me next month to a buddy's place, and a few of us are going to train atlas stones and pulling his Peterbilt across the property.

Rolled up to the gym this morning right as my PWO kicked in to find out the place was locked down, all the signs taken down. Closed.
They were nice enough to charge me another month's fee just a few days ago, though. Fucking pissed off and amped up at the same time. Great combination. Won't be able to afford to sign up at the new gym all the guys moved to until next paycheck, so I'm without a place to work out for at least week. Fucking. Lame. |

Legs today, went to the gym at 0200 hrs. It usually is empty that early.
Right shoulder has been bothering me all week feeling tight , did a few sets of heavy deads andaggressive foam rolling which seems to have mostly fixed it. I forgot my GoPro so I took a Douchey gym mirror selfie instead. 
That belt by the way is a freaking beast.. 1/2" thick stiff leather and enough adjustment that even my fat ass probably won't ever need to replace it. It hurts my belly though haha. Fat people problems. 
Afterwards I had a cheese omelet. Yum! 
And then grocery shopping, where choices had to be made... Really liking this MP Mint Chip though and it was priced cheaper than ordering online at a local wholesale place which is my new go to for supplements. 
Decided to set myself a goal for the next month. Drop 30# or 5%bf. Also to hit a new PR on deads, bench, and squat at least 25# higher than current. |

Did legs today. And played with my new Atlas Stone trainer, as seen at the end of the vid. First pull was awkward but it was fine after that. 10x 110, 5x155, 5x155 on the stone trainer, thinking I could have gone 195 without too much trouble but was pretty worn out as this was towards the end of my workout. Also, the motherfucker is like 20 pounds unloaded, and dropping it on your foot is not advised.

I did squats today and kind of want to die right now. 5x135,225,315 - 5x360,5x405,3x495,2x405 - 5x10x225 5x10-12x505 Calf Raises 5x10 Leg Curls 160,175,190,205,220 Death by squats. Going to try to bump that 495 up to 5x next week. Definitely loving this program, but my body hates me and is sore all the time - I go into the next week still sore and I've found that an ice bath on my days off and hard foam rolling helps a little. My 5rep maxes are all up 20-30 pounds in week two.
Next week will start Wk 3 and then Wk 4 I am probably going to do heavy singles to see where my 1RM's are instead of deloading.
Liquid chalk is my new best friend, too. I will never go back to regular chalk again, this shit is awesome and sticks longer than regular chalk. I got a great deal on 10# of chicken legs and 10# of wings today, so meal prep for the next two weeks is going to be chicken legs and wings. Skin on, because only pussies take that shit off.
My weight dropped down to about 338 #, and has stayed stable in that range, but I went down a waist size and can see fat coming off in the lower part of my belly and on my back and shoulders.
Got a gift card from a buddy today for BB.com too so I ordered some Fat Gripz finally.
