Dammit, why you do more than me! I love doing heavy clean and press, sometimes I use it for my OHP like I'll do 3 C&P and then 3 standing, really tears me up.
Haha, not sure. Tell you a good way to try is do the c&p (starting from the hip, not a full powerclean) and do 2 partial ohp. Then c&p, 2 partial ohp, etc. It will fuck you up

Solid day. Pissed about the front squats, because i had to do them on the smith machine because some dumb bitch was curling in the squat rack. But didn't feel like being an asshole today, so just did them in the smith. Shit happens. Legs were sore by 20mins after finishing. Tomorrows gonna suck

Nice work Michael; sometimes the workouts when a supporting muscle is sore are the ones were you beat down the main group the hardest. Have fun with the abs and cardio.

Yup. Alot better mind-muscle usually, because you really focus on the muscle in training and try to eliminate the supporting ones that are already sore

Ehh, sorta lol. Strength went down some from the higher rep workouts, and from the week off in indiana last week. But its w/e, strength doesnt equal size.

Really solid day. Trained back with Joe (Beastin) today. Were gonna try to start smashing weights together alot more often now, might end up with a training partner most days. It worked out today, because we had planned on just a light set of db rows to stretch out the lats, but both said "fuck this, lets do the 150s" lol and got it 15x per side. The revgrip bbell of 275 was drop-set to the bbell row of 135. Had a lot of negative reps today, big benefit of training with somebody, going beyond failure. Thats how we ended up doing higher reps on a lot of shit, just because the other one was yelling at you and you didnt wanna quit. Great back day today.

Nice job man, you're killing it. Like you said, strength isnt size, and I'm sure you're even bigger now than you already were!
Incline on what? And somewhat. My delts are. And my lats are thicker, looks better in poses like the Arnold

It's awesome that you're getting to train with Joe, he's a freakin monster. That's a hell of a lot of volume man!
