No wonder you have broceps
I might do something like this every 3 months it's merely to activate and shock the muscle into growth, stoping muscle memory - recommend

Kai, what are you basing this on?
Sounds like some serious broscience
This is very similar to Kris Gethins DTP (Dramatic Transformation Principle) and ive found this also gives you insane pumps whilst also shocking your muscles into new growth! This is guaranteed to flush as much blood as possible into your muscles
"Your body is a very clever thing and adapts quickly to exercise! If you are doing the same workouts day in day out you will plateau and will not grow."

Wow what a fantastic ass that guy spotting has
.Gym in about half an hour although getting there is going to be a little irritating

Terrible gym session. Completely bummed.
Haven't seen a single gain in two weeks now and tonight I was failing on things I never usually do.
I guess it's all part and parcel of training. You have your off days and what not.. but I'm really considering stopping Strong lifts and trying a 3-day split of some kind.
I'd be really grateful if anyone could suggest me some ideas.

Incredibly strong there - certainly for your size, with pretty good form. Nice lifting.
Legs for me today.
Squats 5*50 5*60 5*70 5*70 5*70 5*75 4*80
Front Raise 8*12.5bar 7*7.5sDB 8*12.5bar 8*12.5 8*12.5
DB Lunges 8*40 4*40 4*45 4*45
DB 1 foot Calf Raise 4*22.5 8*20 8*20 8*20
I did 1 foot calf raise because the rack wasn't free to do it with a bar... the gym got insanely busy... As it was I had to re-do two sets because of idiots bumping me during sets! It stil counted as pretty good grip training though, especially after doing lunges with DBs too!
Does anyone else get light headed when doing squats? It's really disconcerting and is holding me back because I don't have the confidence to carry on for fear I might feint or something (for the time being there is no cage so this would be a major problem!)

Cheers ff, I was pretty pleased with the OHP today as I wasn't expecting to get more then 62.5 then smashed it. Training along side LiE does have its good influences when it comes to form. Ironically I think this is the only lift he has learnt from me on
Ice, forgot to say that's awesome squatting, very strong, was that recently as well. Can't wait to see your RM's

Yup, I never really got into Military Press and as such my form was bad. Much better now but still finding the shoulder mobility an issue.
