Personally I agree with alot of what rory said. but the other thing you need to take into consideration is that you will be moving soon. And let me tell you it will be a shit load easier to get laid in a new town if your all cut up an ripped, then if your a fat PL freak.

On the other hand I'll throw you the same advice you gave me back in the day "you cant cut until you have enough muscle, or you'll just be a skinny weak bitch".

Now that i'm done contradicting myself, i'm gonna go eat again.

Yeah, it depends on whether he is going for the look (bb) or for performance (pl), at which point physique would be secondary to performance. I know a lot of fat pl's who got game and still get laid. ToothHoP ain't got no game though....kidding with ya broski.

Work on proper technique.

He's put on a significant amount of mass since the last I've seen him, so I think a reasonable cut wouldn't be a bad choice. In the meantime, work on technique...I think I've said that before.

To further confuse things, there's nothing wrong with a pl'ing approach to training if that's your thing. However, he's not at a point right now where he needs to get into any type of gear and should instead focus on raw strength. IMO, I think that the Starr/Pendlay stuff would be a good starting point for him while still shedding some fat.

And work on proper technique.

Do you think that I should work on my technique?

Dude you should lift like a man, heavy ass weights, shitty form, and no cardio. thats the way its done hhahaha

haha, yeah dude! Some people say that they'd rather lift a lot of heavy ass weights and not care about form than lift Kiddy weights and have perfect technique. But as far as the suggestions comin' from "RoryL" I think I'll have to take that into serious consideration.....and I have...so I'm working on my technique........bitches

This was a demanding-ass workout but I'm glad I did. I was pretty proud of myself because as I kept looking at my book I just wanted to say I'll do half, pack it up and do the rest tomorrow. But I didn't. I stuck it out and made myself complete the whole workout. And boy did it kick my ass! But a positive note, my wrist really didn't hurt (so thats what I told myself) therefore I stuck with CGB one more week. I know, i know I'm an next week I'll change it up!

Day 1---Lower One

Squats 265-8, 275-8, 285-8

*man the first set of 265 really kicked my ass. I was a bit worried that I wasn't going to be able to get the rest of my sets...but I found out that the first set was pretty much a warm up! I guess that tells me I should warm up before i work out *dogh* Put 285 through the roof again...kick ass

SL Deads 195-8, 205-8, 215-8
Leg Press 430-12, 450-12
Leg Curl 150-12, 160-12
Standing CR 170-8, 180-8, 190-8
Seated CR 120-12, 130-12


Hells yeah man this was a good work out! I felt really good after that first set of squats. Weight is generally back to 100%, but I really want to work on form and technique so i'm not pushing myself too crazy. I'm starting to learn my body and what I can handle (using the appropriate technique) without going overboard...

I love the fact that your getting stronger and stronger, and my ass is getting weaker and weaker.

good numbers bro, keep it up.

haha not true dude, we are just doin different sheezy sha know what I'm sayin. I'm sure if I was doin that crazy ass workout you are, my weights would drop significantly. That's a lot of demand you are putting on your body and your mind...not to mention those crazy ass inturns at work

Day 2---Upper One

Incline BB 175-8, 185-8, 195-8
**
I have to say that dropping the weights to 80 then 90% for those couple of weeks really did me good. I was cheating before (like bouncing the weight and etc) but now its a solid down, pause, explode!! I'm pretty happy man I'm getting stronger and keeping good form....hmmmmmmm hmp.

T-Bar Row 120-8, 125-8, 130-8
Flat DB Press 75-12, 80-12
**
Kick ass on these too becuase I was continually failing on my second set at around 9 or 10 (no matter how much I was doing) Banged all of em out this time and looking forward to moving up next week!

Pull Downs 185-12, 190-12
Ahhhhnolds 45-12, 50-12
**man these were a bitch...nothin else

Skull Crushers 85-12, 95-11
**
12 but on the last rep my form was not up to par, I got it up and pressed for one but since the form wasn't good I decided not to count it.

BB Curls 80-12, 85-12
**
SO now my wrist decides to hurt on the first 6 of these I decide to do...
