was in a rush when i posted that workout, that squat would have been halarious to see..
I was probally like 4-5 inches below paralell, I went down fast, then paused at the bottom for a second or so (didnt mean to. went down to fast). Getting out of the hole was hard as hell because of this (usually the easiest part for me.. im weird). I didnt even know if the bar was moving. My nose exploaded and blood shot out of my nose onto the ground/hit me lol. I burst about every blood vessel in my head/chest/shoulders :p
Somehow I came up, racked the bar, and fell to the ground in my mess of blood hahaha. Good thing the gym was dead. That squat has got to be the deepest wide stance squat in the history of squats I didnt even know I could go that low. I looked back in my logs and the best raw squat I ever got was 485lbs, so its a 15lbs pr.
But, the 485lbs was in a monolift, that makes things alot easier. If I dont get beat up to bad here, I figure ill try for 600-650lbs in breifs / belt in 8-10 weeks.

Wow, your Hardcore Frank :p, that would be pretty funny to
see. I would be worried for you but laughing on the inside.
I think my head would explode too, if i tried to lift that much.

Wow! that is damn impressive for a girl...

Shes very strong. Only been really lifting for like 8 months too (I dont count her previous 3 years of training because they where so shitty.. curls / abs/cardio the whole time).
Shes not one of those 'big but strong' girls either haha. 5'9 or 5'10 (shes taller then me I think) 135-140lbs with visable abs = not one of those 'big' girls lol.
My younger brother wont train with us because he gets outlifted.. haha its halarious.
I feel like I got ran over by a dump truck today. Joints very sore. Rest day! This is a bit of a deload week actually.. My girlfirends gym membership expired and its free for us come september first..

DAMB FRANK!! WOW. JUST WOW. That's friggin awesome.
Thanks guys! Joints feel a bit better today. I don't know whats going on.. I am cramping up like crazy lately. I dont have a scale, I think my weight is up.. This probably isnt helping.
More PRs to come soon, that 600lbs deadlift is still haunting me in my sleeep.. lol. want to go 600/315/600 in the very near future here with only a belt, maybe squatting briefs.
I know lots of you have read my opinions on just constantly eating clean and not cheating. Its not that I dont disagree with that, but I have to eat way to many damn cals these days to keep it clean. The goal is simple, get stronger without getting 'too' fat.. I dont care to much if I get fat though, I mean, its winter coming up and I can loose it pretty damn quick.
Dude... I don't see how you can eat like you do.... that would kill me. I had problems eating 2500 a day.

Dude... I don't see how you can eat like you do.... that would kill me. I had problems eating 2500 a day.
At 2500cals per day, I loose 3-4lbs per week I started weight lifting at like 160-170lbs and my body was very happy there.. but now at who knows what (225? 230? 235? who knows I need a scale). I really need to focus on eating. It makes me poor because I like good foods. I'm not that tall either, so @ ~230lbs my body goes "FU$@ you! loose weight!!!" lol.
I'm about the same hieght as you and I can't stand being over 190 (which I am right now)...I've never been one to count calories... is there a quick guide to follow?

Add cals until you are gaining weight, or, take them out til you are loosing is my method haha. BW x 15ish seems around maintenance for many people. Not for me, but my metabolism is on fire I suspect.

I feel your pain my maintenance is bwx30 eating is a chore
Have you guys experimented with how your metabolism reacts to different foods and macros? Protein might burn up really fast, while fat and carbs give you more bang for your caloric buck. Books like Metabolism Advantage talk about it from the opposite perspective, where you eat more P because the TEF is higher. Maybe less P for you, and more fat? Plus, fat's cheap and easy.
I have played with it a bit, im not convinced it makes all that much difference though. I actually don't eat all that much protein when considering the total amount of cals. Only around 20-30%. Since the cals are high, this is actually a fair amount of protein mind you (300g or so).
On the other hand, carbs seem to 'boost' my metabolism. Hot and sweaty after eating high carb meals is typical.

That's too bad. Nothing like a chicken breast to make my brow dampen.

Ahhh...to be young again...I droped 15 lbs one summer on beer and junk food...that and the landscape job and 160 ish games of ball. I know my body reacts more to training volume and nutrient timing...eat heavy early and fast after 8 pm

My dad is around 210 @ probably 8-10% bf and the other night I was over and he was eating a large pizza to himself muttering something about not being able to gain any weight. Maybe its genetic.
All I can say is WOW. First time I've dropped by your log, and you (and your girlfriend) are amazing. I would love to see pics of both of you!
(And, here I was all proud of my squats last night at 60 pounds! LOL!)
Thanks for dropping by!!
I have pics floating around here somewhere, no recent ones though. Maybe ill get some up in the week or two.The fact that you are doing real squats is great, nobody squats enough anymore.
