Great Job Steve.
 
I notice you do Sumo. Granted it is said it doesn't apply to the games much but I personally feel better with legs wider than normal and gripping the bar close. For some reason, and I guess its how I am built, it just feels natural.

I have never done sumo before a month ago.  I am finding its easier on my knees? Its probably just the lower weight? I have also started squatting like this.

 

LS-WSBB says the wide will transfer to narrow but the narrow will not transfer to wide. So I am going to give it a try and do both. I have alternated the width on every other lift not sure why I never did on leg day?

Basics and a lot of them.  Like the high reps also, bet your getting a tremendous swole from that and it does feel great.  So I need to do a highlander game, never did one, how do I find one near me and if not one near me when am I coming up there for one?

thanks but I cant take credit for the workout its Brandon Lillys Cube Method. its a twist to the West Side method. Its alot of volume and I am still trying work out the bugs as I am not used to the reps. Another 3 week cycle and I should have the correct weights for each set figured out so I can maxamize the results.

I would love to have you up for a highlander but the org is about to unwind for finacial issues. I think the closest event to you would be FL. And there was one planned by John Baily for this spring. Dj pulled the website down so you would have to watch the Facebook https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/247101378341/" rel="nofollow - https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/247101378341/ for upcoming events. ill keep you posed if i see something in your back yard.

Got hit in the side of the head by my Dr yesterday. Went in Sick cam out Sicker. Been sick for 2 weeks decided I better go see what’s wrong knowing full well what it was. (Pneumonia) seems to get me every year because I never go when its just Bronchitis.  While I was there the Doc went over  my blood work from 4 months ago that I had been ignoring him about. Cholesterol still high at 254 but better than the 280-300 it has been for the last 2 years. Seems my regular Doc, has been conversing with my TRT Doc and finding its not working like it should be because my thyroid is crapping out now. I have had this thought in the back of my mind for some time but the Dr. never seemed to be that worried about. So now I have another batch of test and a pill to take. Going to do a 4-6 month trial test on meds to see if we can trick the thing back to working. I am doubting this will work from the research I done, and it sure hasn’t worked with the TRT. I know I couldn’t have controlled this but still sucks. I have been plagued with injuries for the last decade of my life and now this. So I guess its really time for a change. Time to start eating a little cleaner and adding a little more cardio into my training. I don’t intend to give up on strength sports yet, even though I probably should based on injuries alone.

 

Weighed in at a sloppy 268 yesterday, so here is my last weekend of living life without a care, and getting over the Pneumonia.. Monday is a new day and a new way of life for this 42 year old broken man.

There is no way that you are 42. Your joking. Naw, I'm not going to fall for that.
