do you hook grip for PC?

Sometimes; but not for worksets. I figure the longer i can delay hooking the better since it will build my grip better. WBU?

Food log. Tomorrow, I'm gonna lift and add that extra basketball training sesh i spoke about before. Last week i was too fucked up but this week i should be better since i've been eating more. 2000 kcal to my body is like going on a feast lol. It doesn't even feel like im cutting. I swear if i was a hard 80kg i'd a lot stronger than the soft one i am right now. Oh well, give it time. Still looking to get under 80kg/176lb first. Probably wont change anything until my bw is around 79kg at which point i might just maintain. We'll see how things are by then though.

I'll triple 122.5kg front squat tmr and maybe 130kg fs (i might save it for sunday though, we'll see.). Maybe a 10 rep pr of BS with 112.5kg? something like that. Nothing crazy just get in some decent quality reps.

Oh and i've got another basketball game monday night, filling in for a mate's team, so that's gonna be crazy with basketballl back to back sunday and monday but all of this shud make me a better player so it's all good.

BW: 177.58

Game day ! Gonna get a quick weights sesh in once it gets cooler. Still in the mid 30s after goign up to 40C earlier. Feel fuzzy - not sure if it's a heat thing or just poor eating today, i unwittingly fasted >18hrs; not ideal. Otherwise I prob wud have gone for some squat PRs! Anyway. We'll see how it goes.

BW: 178.02 (2015 PR)

Got the <81kg milestone today (80.75). Next up is the big <80kg/176 one. Can't wait for that. I'm also stronger now so it hasn't cost me any strength or muscle, if anything i'm slightly up on mass.

Will be going to put up some shots later today to prep for tmrs game. I'm gonna treat it as my last game ever and bring everythang to the table.

Food log

Blam, triceps are sore today. I couldn't think why until I remembered all those outlet passes I threw yesterday at training, in a fast break drill. TIL. I could delay the workout til tomorrow but i've been on a good 3 week run of training every other day - not sure if i wanna break that, or lift the day before game day. Will see. Body needs rest though. My erectors on the R side have already been aching (not in a good normal DOM way either).

BW: 179.02

Sunday is here and im feeling nervous about lifting. Grip is weak again CNS when will u b fresh?? But i'll still attempt some PRs and then get some heavy worksets in. Then go off to basketball. Though i think it's almost time for me to stop doing these heavy maxes - lately ive been failing more than i've been making.

FBS 2x122.5 (LPR), 1x129.5 (LPR!)
BS 1x134.5, 1x137.5 (LPR!), 1x140B, 0Fx147.5B, 4x132.5B (LPR), 5x127.5B
Basketball training ~ 2hrs

Squat notes:
Oh yesss, PRs. Will fill in details later, late for baskeball training.  So I got 129.5kg today! Finally a front squat heavy single LPR. I'm not sure if i'll go for 130kg next in 2x15kg plates or just add another kilo to 129.5kg next time. We'll see. Also progressed my raw BS to an LPR of 137.7kg ! Form improvements were the reason for both squat PRs.  I'll expand on this on a later post by the way.

 I wanted to local PR my belted squat by 2.5kg, squatting 147.5kg but by then i wasn't really fresh enough - so i  finished up with my 2 worksets and called it a day. I didn't get much out of the belt today - im between holes, 3rd one is kinda loose now and 4th one is too tight. Hopefully next sunday i can just use the 4th one and smash out a 147.5-150kg pr while weighing 80kg

Basketball notes:
That was a great training session but im spent! Now to eat loads of protein and hope im good to lift upper body tmr. Damnnnnnnnnnnnn. So smashed.  My fitness is improved!! Next game is do-or-die. Not really but it has to be, cause if we are to make finals we will have to beat this team in semis. So it's important to get a mental edge on them now. We'll see.

^^ I dont get a pump from them. And if they caused my ab veins to come out, I would have noticed by now, especially from direct ab exercises! My bicep veins were coming out a lot too. Has something to do with hydration and blood vessel dilation... and low bodyfat too.

Here's me at 190:

Fair. Looking lean there brah. Good job. 

Lower ab veins to me just mean a pump i think. I get them at the end of the day of lifting or towards the end of a 24hr long fast; even when obese. Not sure it means anything. Btw wonder what you look at 192?
