I watched the video your explosion off chest is impressive. Looked solid to me. But then again what do I know about benching

[hoss]

Thank Rob!

Rough couple of days with business travel. However on 2hours sleep I got back to California from North Carolina and decided skipping my deadlift day was not very responsible.

WITH THE TRAVELING YOU DID. IM AMAZED BY WHAT YOU DID IN THE GYM. NICE WORK KEEP IT UP. NEXT TIME TRY TO GET MORE SLEEP. PEACE

[andreww]

Hoss, could you share with us "what keeps you going"?

Eg, alot of people would just crawl up in a ball and go to sleep after such a busy day... But you powered right through it!

What keeps you focused? How do you silence the voices which tell you to stop?

[celticdave]

His inner voice doesn't tell him to stop, it tells him to do 'other things'...lol
jk
;D

[hoss]

andrew is fear of losing! sad isn't it?

rough day not feeling strong. The set with 775 was shitty. Was going to stop, but decided to nut up. The 850 first rep shitty the 2nd rep solid. 970 at the top need to get above a grand soon and get some solid reps.

[gbuff]

Hoss, I know its only "practice" butt you gotta lock out those deadlifts. Look at it this way, it will help youre grip more.

[hoss]

agreed Gbuff!

Done sore! Bench feels good and looks good. staying below 2BD's in a shirt.

[luyando]

Nice work Hoss! But you said staying below a 2 brd your fisrt set was a 3brd and the rest of your sets were 2 brds I'm confused. below a 2 brd would be a 1 1/2 brd or lower....... LOL!

[hoss]

I will take the bar down to the lowest board possible given the shirt tension. For example I didn't use a belt to keep tension in the shirt until I 730. So warm ups I'll use higher boards that I can touch, then more work like sets I'll go lower.

[hoss]

I am tracking just right in the deadlift. I think the triples suck BUT is helping my grip

[andreww]

Good work at powering through it despite being tired Scott.

Scott, what are you eating on an average day these days?

I know you have said in the past, eating right is one of the hardest things for you etc.

We want to see what is keeping you so shredded and sexy.

[hoss]
