No post since the 7th. If you want to pick that type of thing to burn fat with decent HIIT, do Insanity. It’s not weight training but it will burn fat. If you can mix it in between lifting days you’ll be way better off than P90X. |

I'm cutting. I can run 3 miles in under 22 minutes. But squated 390 right before that.

Pulled 315 yesterday morning finally. And it went up easy. First time I tried mixed grip.
I bought some of the fat gripz to help with grip strength (should be here tomorrow) and some straps and a shaker (3 items for free shipping, I'm not at the point I need straps) |

Has anyone added running into their program on the off days? how? how did it effect you? Forgive me for not searching 670+pp.
I am thinking about doing some running/walking on monday / wednesday / saturday bringing my training to 6 days a week with one 2 a day. Or combining back and chest for with no accessory work for 5 days training. The running would not be for time but distance. Ive tracked a few 13 mile hikes while hunting/scouting without issue but I need to run it. I could do a 5k now and may just do that instead but am interested to see if its been done here before with any luck. If I went from a 455 x 4 to a 435 x 3 Im okay with it. I dont want to go from 455 x 4 to 365 x 2 though. |

Are you doing anything with the diet on differnt days of training or just more protein in general. Eat lots of food if you don't care about weight gain. Weight gain isn't good for running though. But really good for strength. More protein everyday for me. Some people change their calorie intake on different days, and their carb count. Protein should always be the same though. Unless you are trying to be a top athlete the calorie thing wont really matter as long as you are consistantly eating the same every day. |

My squat finally inched ever so slightly passed my bench. So, I guess that’s a step toward normal.
Part of it is due to actual progress on the squat. Unfortunately, part is also that gains on bench have ground to a halt ever since I pushed for my 315 1RM. Running back up since then has been very frustrating. Not hitting any PRs. |

My squats are still all messed up. I think I’ve done something to my IT band as it keeps hurting worse on the outside. This has been going on for 3 months or so now and is getting really frustrating. |

Things have happened.  Attached FileIntroducing....  Attached FileI also did a thing for my wife.  Attached FileAnd this is coming. The photo is from a bad angle. It will be mounted high on a wall so you will be looking up at him. He is posed as if he were about to hook and toss you. One thing with buff mounts I have always been less than impressed with, is when they are mounted on a wall and looking forward, the bosses and overall horn conformation isn't always accentuated. So with this pose I was hoping to overcome that. Once it finally gets here and I put it on the wall I'll post more.  Attached File |

Not sure I could pull it off, but I guess when you're big, no one would make fun of you for driving a minivan. I'm trying to unsmall myself. Not quite "big enough to drive a minivan and not get made fun of" yet. |

Not quite "big enough to drive a minivan and not get made fun of" yet. My wife was really surprised I wanted to go with a minivan, she wanted a medium to large suv. I 1) didn't want to pay for it and 2) didn't want to deal with something pretending it is as family friendly as a minivan. We got it from carmax, got a fair price on the van and they did me right on her trade in. It has a ton of options and will serve us well. Plus if you want to split hairs, it would be way easier to transport a bunch of lifters in this thing than any other vehicle type. Low entry, good for poor mobility especially after squats. Tons of interior space, good for big guys and/or folks with ILS. 3 climate zones(that will undoubtedly have the a/c cranked). 2 drink holders per person, 1 for protein and 1 for BCAAs. DVD/bluray so they can watch Westside vs the world on the way to the buffet. Everything reclines, which should help with the apnea.
