Well, took a couple weeks off from the log mainly because I have been taking it easy for the most part; still training but not as intense. Usually take a modest break after a meet. Will begin the log again pretty soon. Appreciate all those who stop by and comment and those that just stop by.

I added some pics that were taken by a friend of mine at the last meet and added them into a photo album in my profile. Check them out if you want. Thought they were some pretty cool pics. No one will question my squat depth that is for sure! Still have not got the vids yet but hopefully they are coming, I would like to see them. Good learning tool as well.

You do anything special to maintain hip/man flexibility?

Are those BB Lunges light for you?

not really, just some stretching prior. sometimes I will do some ab/adductor moves, 4 way hip machine but have not done in awhile but need to add it in.


Not really light! lol! Feels like there is no weight at all on my back but my balance coming back up was off. I will increase the weight as I progress doing them but when I add a new exercise I have not done in a long time I ease into it.

Thats crazy. You must have some good natural flexibility. My hips get tight and I squat/dead almost half of what your doing, lol.

Yeah lunges definitely recruit a lot of stabilizer muscles. I've been adding them in more lately.

Actually, I can not stretch for shit. I can not sit with my legs crossed, not even close. I can touch my toes with some effort but I really sink the squats-no problem(see photo album). I guess I can stretch that way but no other. lol!

That is exactly why I have added them; along with the other benefits of hitting the quads/hams/glutes/etc.

Training comments:Not too bad tonight, felt good. Will go lighter next week then the week after jump up to 585 or so for a few sets and cycle that way. Accessory work went well. Just got my package from MP so I will be adding some supp into the training starting next week. Will take the Bullet Proof tonight though to help recovery and sleep.
