Thanks man! I am shooting to hit a few goals this year. 500 lb dead lift, 400 lb squat, and 300 lb clean. Just working my way up those ladders

500lbs, that's pretty intense. That's a long, long way off for me.

I was helping my friend pick up an old cooker the other day, a traditional range that can eat your home via a back boiler by keeping it lit all day. It was heavy as fuck. If I were deadlifting I reckon it would have been a lot more manageable. Practical strength, yo! Everything is sore.

Nick, how long has it been now for you since you started working out?

Well I started CrossFit on Aug 6th. I started olympic lifting around Oct 20th. I started doing more strength related stuff around mid December

Man, you've made great advancements since then. Fucking win. Inspiring.

Yea I'm in some heavy gains right now. I'm actually eating way more recently and lifting heavier.

Keep it up, matey!

Cleared 5x5 on 235# squats today...so onward and upward.

I made a conscious effort to eat more when I started Stronglifts at the beginning of November and have noticed significant change in my quads, lats and delts. You gotta fuel the machine.

Dropped a fucking barbell on my neck today during the overhead press to my back for a bear complex. Luckily only 75# and only a small bruise and some pain.

Dude that sucks! Maybe get a helmet?

Fatty.

Man I am a damn slow gainer!!! I guess a back injury and not doing anything physical for almost 8 years ends up taking a toll on ya. I did just do 265lbs on the deadlift yesterday tho!! Thanks to Vid, I have cleaned up my technique.

I am still trying to figure out why I am hitting strength plateaus pretty often (cant seem to squat past 185lbs). I dont know if I need to eat more (i dont think so) but I do know that I need to sleep more. Ive set easy goals for this year on some lifts. 3 Plate DeadLift, 2 Plate Squat, 185 Bench, 185 Row and a 1 plate OHP.

i fucking love this. how is this possible, how can people not do this. i get to eat anything and i get to become strong, and then i limit myself to eating ALMOST anything and i become good looking. this is magic, is what it is.

I always get the "you should eat a bit more, youre getting too skinny" from family members...........im like BITCH PLEASE I EAT WHAT I WANT AND THEN LIFT SHIT AND PUT IT BACK DOWN. Here in Feb i'll take a 2 year pic so you guys can see the difference that eating smarter and lifting since May of 2013 will do.

Death can't stop the gains.

haha, not dead but a bit of pain along the center of my upper back. Resting up for a big sunday OLY session. See how it goes. I have the ice packs and NSAIDs rocking.

Keep plugging Luis, its a long term thing.

PR Snatch today, 170# but it was a bit ugly.

Still lots to work on.

Later, ate big steak and some rice

vidret wrote:man, rice just kills me. sweet lift & sweet steak bro also, nice going, thickheaded bastard.

frozen chicken breasts is a huge scam, you buy a couple of 2 lb bags and end up eating the whole 2 lbs PER MEAL because of how the stupid chicken shrinks when you fry it.

leftover sticky chinese food rice, couldnt be any better. 1.25 lb steak before cooking. Beef!!!!!!!!!

OLY Coach was like eat more!!!!

I was attempting snatch pulls and a few snatchs at 185#, right near my BW. Thats where I need to go. (~84 kg)
