Low Back Healed, Stability Training, Reddit, Overtraining, Kinesio Taping and Arnold

August 12, 2012 — Leave a comment

Well, looks seems like my lower back is healed after I strained some muscle back there.

I managed to do a measly 500lbs hook grip deadlift (video) last Friday. Haven't deadlifted 500lbs since over 1 year ago!

Journey to a 3x bodyweight, 600lbs deadlift begins now!

340lbs Bench Press PR, One Drop Method, Fixing Your OHP, Weight Gain and Weight Loss Tips

July 1, 2012 — Leave a comment

Well, I guess Smolov Jr for bench press works!

I hit a +10lbs PR (video here). I was hoping for 350lbs, but settled for 340lbs instead. I should have attempted 345lbs...maybe next week.

Anyways, here are a few helpful articles I came across lately:
