I feel he'll be reliable, and we can push each other... wish he was on my weight level (he's gonna lag behind me on alot of lifts, he's like 5'6" and only 140ish pounds, but he's pretty strong or his size), but i think we'll have good chemistry...

Stoked about it... gives the the opportunity to go for shit i wouldn't before, cause i don't like asking for spots, cause too many morons don't know how to properly spot someone either...

Monday is a new era... back in business baby... should start the week around 200 pounds @ 17-18% bodyfat... gonna keep rolling a deficit until i hit 195 @ about 15%, then start upping my cals little by little until i reach a maintenance level, and then start trying to build some mass back on...

long term goal is to start a full bulk by June - July, and get up to 210-215 by January 1... then start a slow cut (20-24 weeks) and maybe compete in a show... this is all predicated on where i am at at the end of the year... i feel i need to be at 210-215 @ 15%ish...

Then if i can cut down to 190 @ 5%ish, i should be carrying enough mass to at least try my first show... we'll see how it goes, and how my ability to add muscle goes... 15 pounds in 6-7 months is a lofty goal but i think it can be done... even if i only get to 207, i can still cut to 190 even 185 and be shredded... my issue is 6'2"... seems like bodybuilding is not for the typical 6+ footers, unless you're a freak...

This forum is fucking dead... guess everyone fell off the wago for the most part...

My bench went way down too, after widening my grip, arching my back some and doing push-ups prior to bench...now I reply on my bitch pecs more and not my back and tris. 225x3 is where I hit Friday. Was as high as 255 in standard grip and less form. ROM was always complete though.

In other news my twig legs still has my squat and deads at shit. Way too close to my bench levels.

I've never really taken any significant time off. Lifts are fine, but seem to have stagnated on the 5-3-1. I seem to always be at the same wall, at least this time, I'm leaner than before when hitting it.

Shoulder is acting up, so I might hit the doctor and look at surgery options. I did a decent bench workout yesterday and afterwards, it just felt loose.

Ok brah... If you're here you may as well participate...
