I only have been in an ice bath once...I agree, they suck.

 

Easy trick for ice baths, i hated cleaning out the ice maker and wasn't going to buy ice. So get a case of the hand grenade water bottles, those little fat boys, you can freeze those and reuse them plus if youre thirsty just open one lol

 

Some choose to get their shrinkage via injection, some choose shrinkage via ice....

 

Accidentally got back up to 301lbs....

By accidentally I mean I said "fuck this cut I'll start for real after this March competition".... Qualified for Nationals early so I now I can do a real cut and not worry about a competition till October. Thinking about trying some GW and S4 for 10-12 weeks to see how much BF% I can shed before my next dexa scan in the summer.

Feeling pretty good at 301 tho. I don't feel as bloated or slow like I did last year.

 

Hit a 405 squat finally today. About damn time. Body weight about 172 lbs.

 

Damn bitch. U so stronk

 

Started this bulk after a cut down to 189lbs. 6.5 more weeks to go... what do you think 215 or 220 possible?

 

Depends on your calorie intake and training.

And also if you on anything..... Cause that'll help me determine yes or no lol feel free to message me instead of post here.

 

I know. Comin for your title.

 

Wont take much.

 

Title for fatest shit elevated deadlifter? You'll win that hands down lmao I suck.

 

Guessing you did them today?

 

Ain't done shit all week lol

 

215 vs 215 with a couple years in between.

 

Keep at it, you’ve made some really good progress.

 

impressive!

 

Gym life ain't for everyone....

Another one bites the dust...

Thanks dog. Long way to go.

 

Slightly.

 

So if I didn't need more reason to focus on health.....

Today at Central Georgia's Strongest Man Comp, a HW Strongman athlete won the carry medley and then had a heart attack and died on the spot immediately after. Idk all the details of his backstory or health but that shit hit close to home. We, especially heavyweights, push our bodies to the absolute max of size and strength, and his just gave up. He was only 47... That could be me in 17 years.

It's scary to think about; however, it shows me even more that health comes first and long-term health is a commitment we make sooner than later. Not saying I'm gonna stop pushing myself or competing, but I am really going to focus on doing it as healthy as possible.
