Thanks winter. I'm not being able to bulk because I'm very busy with my work. Don't have enough time to eat (and cook). But I'm keeping my weight and having strengh progress. Maybe next month I'll try to bulk up again.
This is the only pic I took lately.

Today I felt strong on deads and got a PR again. I entered the 400# club!

 

[tman55]

Yes you did enter the 400 club. I notice your weight increments are always different than most and I know you are not in US. So I got to ask. Is it 400lbs? If so then why not just go for 4plates @ 405?

I know you have an answer to help me understand how your weights work.

You are getting strong. Nice work and welcome to the 400 club.

Just so you know, when you get to the 450lb club you qualify for a free Steroidology Thong!!!

 

[Winter]

Awesome work bro! That PR is very nice.

Thanks tman,
Actually, the deadlift was 170 kg (plates) and 12 kg bar.
So 170+12 = 182 kgs
182 kgs x 2,2 = 400,4 lbs

I can't wait to get 450 and qualify for that thong! hehehe

Awesome work bro! That PR is very nice.

Thanks winter
