TweetCan't wait to follow along my brother
TweetI have been thinking about doing a log for a long time but always fell off. I'm more dedicated now then ever so I figured what the hell why not.
This is my first log ever so bear with me while I learn and share new things. It's going to be a slow start while im still in afghanastan.
I will pretty much log my workouts for now, the food is horrible here, lots of fried foods with tons of carbs so I won't really be logging my meals.
Once I get back in the states I will take everything up a notch especially diet.
I never meant to be better than anyone, I was just born that way. Its hard being a god amongst peasants!
TweetCan't wait to follow along my brother
TweetAs song of you know I fell off pretty hard not long ago, lost all my gains and got fat. I was 220lbs and about 22%. Bf. I got back into everytbing and slimmed down to about 205lbs and about 18% bodyfat which is where I was.when i got on this deployment. I am currently 242lbs body fat.is unknown but I look leaner when when I came here maybe 15-16%? Also just so you know I am 6'1" so even at 240lbs I don't look to big at least In my eyes.
I've been slowly working my way back up to heavy weight and putting on size.
I got 945lbs on leg press for 1, had a good bit more in me but i didnt want my ego to.get.in the way so I stopped there for the day I have a video I'll try and post eventually or maybe I'll wait till I at least get 1,000lbs to make it worthy.
I hurt my elbow pretty good.benching a few months back.and have been coaching it so chest has been horrible.for me, I almost got 305lbs and my elbow just refuse.to play ball and lock out so I'm still trying to let it heal becuase I deffintly have more then 305 in me.but my elbow just won't let it happen.
I pulled 425lbs in Deadlift wth no straps. Belts gloves or chalk, felt pretty good to. Not sure how much I have but I'm curious, im going to try an max again in about a week or so. Right now I've been hitting back hard as hell, I want to get a dead lift with a 5 in front of.it and I'm also really trying to widen my bac and hit this lats. Back day is by far my favorite workout day.
also one more thing, please stick with my on any Grammer or spelling mistakes. This log with be done all on my phone for.a.while.and this phone is really starting to.bug.out.

My back was actually pretty tired so I wasn't really feeling pull ups today. I do a lot of pull ups on none back days as of recently anyway.
And that was it for today's back day, enjoyed it a lot. Back day is by far my favorite day and I have a lot of fun doing it. If I havnt been to the gym in a few days I'll go do a back day and it always fires me up.

TweetGood luck with the log brother. Stay safe. You can get access to the internet this often over there?
TweetNormally no,.but being an election year we aren't aloud to do very much so for reals of some giant tragic situation that might tarnish the election. The plus side is we've only had injuries no deaths. The down side is we aren't doing shit.
