So I had max day yesterday and hit 400 on squat ( PR ) and 375 on DL ( PR ). I was very pleased with both lifts and am excited to see where they go from here! I am thinking that 425 on squat and 400 on deads would be sweeeet. My deadlift has consistently been lower than my squat (I just started dead...

Massage was absolutely awesome! Hurt so good on some of those knots and it's something I'll probably have to do again. I also have an appointment with an ortho set for next Thursday, so we'll see what they have to say. Cissus is on the way...What is the suggested dosing per day? I have read that ~3g...

Oddly enough, my wife just asked me if I wanted to have her schedule a massage for me as she works at a salon and day spa...Perhaps I will take her up on that. I'll see about picking up some CissusRX (suggestions where I should get this from for a good price?) and IcyHot for pre-workout. I don't fee...

Rob - The last few days my shoulder has been more sore than usual (with a great deal of increased tightness in the mornings). I am thinking that I may take off until Sunday, at which point I will perform my max on squat and DL. My alternative approach is to go at it hard tomorrow and push it a bit t...

Rob - Do you think I should still taper calories back as we had discussed earlier or should I continue with the current calorie load until I've hit that 3-5 lbs range?

Thanks - I'm looking forward to continued strength gains!

Looks a bit small, but I love the hardcore gym feel. Used to have a Gold's Gym near me that had a true "gym" feel, but that place closed to make room for a CVS...F that. Of course there is a newer Gold's not too far away, but that location is a total "fitness center". It's as tho...

Quick weight update. I weighed in at 207.2 lbs this morning. That marks only a .7 lbs increase from my base weight (206.5 lbs - Saturday prior to Famine) even though I have been eating quite generously. Beginning Monday I plan to taper calories a bit, so I am thinking some recomp effects should real...

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been pounding down the Vit C today and I think I am feeling better. It's just that time of year I suppose. I am hoping to workout tomorrow afternoon...
