This is my new 22nd Street Barbell T-shirt. It is a great shirt for lifting. Stretchy and light weight. Also pictured: SBD Elbow Sleeves, Strong(er) Lever Belt, Little People Farm, Nick's shoe, camera trip-pod.
Volume has still been too high for my legs. Program cut out my Front Squats again for today. Hopefully tomorrow they will go well. Tried to do some benching with my belt on to see how that felt. I actually kind of liked the extra pressure. Maybe if I had a single pronged, 10mm belt it would feel a little better. This 13mm lever is a little thick for benching.

This was our summer volleyball shirt from last year. Our team is made up of parishioners from our Catholic church, hence the Kicking "Mass" part. Red, High Top, Converse shoes I've had since before high school. Back felt much better. I did a 10 min back stretching video before the workout and it really helped. I might work that in a few times a week now. Bench press is still feeling really easy while squats are getting harder. I am finished with Week 1 now and I feel that my muscles have adapted (very slightly) to the new volume and rep scheme. Hopefully that will get better and better.

POLISH POWER!!! Maruisz Pudzianowski is one of my favorite professional strongmen. Nike elbow sleeves used to protect my shins during deadlifts. And, apparently at the time, no shoes. Back felt terrible after 2nd set on Block Pulls. I pushed my way through the rest of the workout, but I don't know if that was a good idea. I will be hitting the chiropractor tomorrow and maybe a massage next week. Here is a link to the video of my training on my YouTube channel: Heavy Hammer Gym - Hypertrophy Mesocycle: Week 1: 6/23/16

Daily “Selfie” – This was one of my favorite shirts. I haven’t worn it in a long time. It is from the Dark Star Skateboard clothing line. I didn’t know that when I bought it. I just liked the warrior with the huge axe. The reason I haven’t worn it in almost 2 years is because it is a XL. I haven’t felt comfortable wearing anything smaller than XXL since. I can finally fit back into it and feel semi-comfortable. It is a little tight around the belly still, but I am working on that.#LoseTheBelly
