The Chocolate BAR

[CHASE TRUSNOVEC]

[thecityalive]

SO MUCH upper volume. I remember you hack squatting a lot more than the 300s...something bothering your legs or just them a rest?

[NickAus]

Looking damn good!!

[mrelwooddowd]

Huge rows. Nice.

I may have missed it, but..any particular reason you didn't list the weight for all those sets?

Proud to have kept this thing on track through thick and thin over the years, having a support system helps a great deal, no doubt - so Thankx!!

A few people seem to believe I have put on size recently but I'm not feeling it, still yet a hopeful sign though being the recipient of these type compliments from out of the blue and as of late.

[tom183]

Progress is certainly amazing since '03.

[NickAus]

Massive workload yet again bro!!

[HJP]

You should post a pic of your back. It must be massive, and some huge traps! Nice work all round

[joey54]

One day I hope to deadlift what you row.

I believe 3/4's of the board here does.

[Cards]

wow, huge progress over the years!

[CHASE TRUSNOVEC]

crazy volume and work coke!!

[sandman24]

good stuff coke! keep it up

[LuNa]

Insane progress Coke, really impressive work.

[Rileigh]

You should be proud of how far you've come and the dedication you've shown to this. Coming from someone who's only recently gotten started it helps seeing where you were years ago and understanding that these things take time. Inspirational! Keep it up!

[nickp8]

Huge rows Coke.

[ironwill727]

Big rows and lots of pressing.

[Alex.V]

Man, I remember your first post here in journal land. Mad props for incredible dedication and the most consistent (and consistently excellent) progress I've seen.

These journals do much to put things into perspective, none of this is easy or happens overnight - it takes tremendous effort(s) and a great deal of time to manifest with obvious results.

And it never ends...no one has the perfect situation, the perfect body, the perfect relationship, etc - sometimes you have to face life's challenges in order to make these things happen more to your liking.

One reason we all connect so well is this, we have these lifting and physique goals we wish to bring to fruition, and are doing what we can to see it through.

Keep on with it all people!!

Workouts are flowing well even with me doing a huge chunk of the work earlier in the week, but my main plan for now is to have both the leg and back days on their own. Everything else I seem to be throwing together with no afterthought.

[Beast]

Strong workouts as always, Terry!

[HJP]

So true Coke, takes time to nail these goals and there is always things to keep pushing towards an circumstances to get through. the chocolate bar is one of the best journals there is man. Great training again, keep it going Coke, awesome stuff!

[tom183]

I love how your first warm up set on rows is heavier than what the average person's top set would be.

[J L S]

strong work as ever coke, good to see even with my slight absence from posting in here you are still hammering away and strong as hell
