Nice. How low do you want to get on bf?

 

[Aztech]

well, i'm not really concerned about it to be honest. I'm pretty lean all-around, just the midsection holding fat/water. i'd like to see my abs but i'm not gonna go all crazy diet and dnp for it. I'll run some t3 in a few weeks just to increase the metabolism and clean out my receptors. If i lose a little fat, so be it.

ATM, i'm all about the strength gains...and my wrists are freaking killing me. Any good recommendations on wrists straps? I don't want gloves

7/16:

Squats (wasn't going to do these but it was all that was avail)
135#x7
225#x7
315#x3
365#xfailed - first squat failure. I dropped to parallel, held it for a few seconds but just couldn't push it back up. I was able to safely dump it forward onto the squat rack. Never has a fan of squat spotters...just a little akward with a dude standing penis to ass right behind you.

Leg Press
14 plates x8 reps
16 plates x6 reps
18 plates x3 reps - damn heavy

Leg Extension

Half stack for slow and controlled and held at top reps x10

PB suggests 10-12inches long too.
i'm sure some of the PL equipment companys have good shit too.

BTW nice work on the sqts, you'll hit the 365 in no time.

[Winter]

Strong workout, Czech. Whenever I do lat-pulldowns, I rarely ever feel it in my lats; more so in my posterior deltoids. I'm sure it's due to how I sit, but I'm too lazy to fix it so I do a lot more rows

 

[Aztech]

just lean back more or arch more...i get the felling in my lats...sometimes i'll do a tight side crunch after a heavy set and my lat will want to cramp up...lol
