[Focused70]

Nice leg session, Brian, keep it up!

You know, from Men In Black 2.

"Old and busted...new hotness."

Stash

[Stephen Riddington]

Nice leg work. Hope you get the job, so you can focus on getting yourself, into a leaner, meaner badass mofo. :)

[TTT]

What kind of squat press are you doing? Is that on a machine?

[briancurran01]

soba: thanks bro

homer: thanks bro...i hope the same thing

[ryuage]

[Stephen Riddington]

I told you, once the job concerns are over, I see a upcoming badass mofo rising. Irons beware!!!! :)

Nice workout, especially the dead, 1 pps still a good effort. I hope, I can do that once I get my funky knee strengthened.

[lilmase1153]

yeah nice job briC and yes your supposed to feel it all over from deads its a good w/o that i just barely started also..

[briancurran01]

homer: thanks man...yeah i will take it slow with the deads dont want to hurt myself,,,my knees almost gave out on the last set so i know i need to be careful

lilmase: thanks bro...i definitely feel it all over.

[ryuage]

yup yup your whole body gets a beating from deads.

well i got my exercise for the day...i had to chase my fricking dog for like 5 blocks. the lil bastard runs fast.

lol.

and he can within an inch of his life, he darted right out in front of a car...luckily the person slowed down and didnt hit his ass.

at least i confirmed i can run lol...not very fast though

[briancurran01]

i am going to check out ud2 as a diet option or maybe go back to the other diet that I was on for a while...It appears that i have lost alot of muscle through the psmf style of diet that i ahve been on...what i am thinking of doing is changing this up for a while to maybe gain some muscle back...or at halt slow the muscle loss down and then maybe switch back to psmf if all else fails

if you're working chest/back twice a week, I don't think you're going to need to do arms. seems like overkill to me for some reason.

[KiwiBuilder]

Dude, that diet looks like a real bitch! But if it works and you can stick with it, all props to you bro.

You must go through a **** load of Nitrean.

[briancurran01]

kiwi: yeah probably lasts about a month maybe a month and a half. i may try the opticen too and start using that for the meal replacements and just the nitrean for after workouts

[briancurran01]

and yes PSMF is a BITCH but, i am leaner every day...i gain some back after the refeed but then when it starts coming off again i look leaner then the week before...so maybe on my refeed day i may gain alot muscle with the fat i am losing i dunno.

I am close to being at the first goal though...and then only 15 left to go.

Closegrip pullups/chinups allow for much more leverage. When you widen your grip, you reduce the amount of available leverage. Great lookin' workout by the way Brian.
