That's the ONLY way to squat, Hoops!! Sorry I couldn't get out a call this past weekend....LOTS going on as you can imagine...training my @#$ off!! I am really proud of the progress you have made over the past year. Let me tell you something...you have the right attitude to do well in this over the long term...you work your balls off, you are willing to listen and take advice form those who want to help you, you have the required patience, AND you understand what humility is all about. I know alot of people who talk,talk,talk,talk,....... with nothing but overinflated egos and no real quality in their physique to speak of, and a ridiculously unrealistic sense of their abilty in this sport........you get the picture. I have never heard you boast, brag, or talk about how you were gonna kick everybody's butt, in some future show that you really don't have a chance in hell of winning. You just go out and compete,.... And.. learn,...... AND.. get better each time, fully understanding that no one can guarantee ANYONE will kick ANYBODY'S butt, because you can't measure heart. Talk is cheap, Hoops.....you speak with your actions, and for that you have my complete and total respect. It's easy to pull for a guy like you. No one likes to hear from the "legend in their own mind" types. Keep that attitude Hoops and you will ALWAYS impress those around you. Of all the virtues my father taught me, humility and how to be a humble person were amongst the greatest lessons I learned. I have tried to live my life without a single boastful word....my father taught me that a real man lets his actions speak for him. I can see you were raised in much the same way. Keith Awesome post and I second it. You have the heart Steve. Everything else is easy if you have that. Thanks Eric! Now i just need to figure everything else out. Need a freaking science degree for this sport along with a biology one... Getting anxious my friend, getting real anxious.

It is good to be anxious but it is also good to relax and enjoy life. Remember, moderation is the key to life. Train hard and make good gains right now.

Strength is up which is a plus. good pump in my shoulders also.. Holy crapp Hoops! Those are seriously heavy military presses! Nice job my man! On a side note Keith's advice is dead on as usual, patience is about the biggest virtue a person can have in this sport. I've been training for over 30 years, never did make fast progress and entered the same shows several times until I had the success I was after. I'm not saying these things to boast about myself but to just reassure you that persistence will pay off! Especially with your desire and willingness to pay your dues!

wg bent bb rows 185x6 195x6 205x6 rp 6 rp 5
rack deads 315x10(didnt finish out due to we threw 70 more pounds on and the owner started bit*hing not to overload the smith rack. So to stave off the me flipping out on him i did heavy machine back ext. Not the best but something...)

stiff arm pulls 72x10 77x10,10
TRI SET standing cable pullovers 67x14,14 72x14 front pulldowns 180x14,14,14 cybex seated rows 150x14,14,14

POWER WEEK Monday 6-4-*07 LEGS squats 310x6 340x6 345x5(PR)(the only reason that i didnt go for the sixth rep was that when i was pushing the 5th i literally went black in my eyes. Never had that happen before. It was a tuff 5th rep but i think i could've goten the 6th but the blackout scared me. )leg press 380x6 405x6,8 single leg ext 90x6,6,6 leg curls 140x6,6,6 calves standing 305x6,6,6,6 ss with seated calf ext 350x6,6,6,6 I am stoked with this w/o. The most i've ever gotten with squats was 365 but that was only going parallel. Now all my squats are ass to the floor and i PR'd them today with not only hitting 345 but getting 5 reps with it. Today start the 5th week of my evo stack so i will be writing up a 4 week review of my thoughts so far. Also will be taking some measurements. My review i will post tonight from work. So stay tuned...

Nice. I did that last week on leg day. I looked at the guy I train with and said "Is it good when you only see black?" ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Must have been a good set I guess..
