BIG D's 5-BARS of DEATH

[Carter Jee]

gday from downunder again!!!

flipping heck.... that's a massive improvement from before..... at bout 10 secs a rep too......

it won't be long before he hits a point where he can't complete the workout any quicker! would you as his coach put up the weight, start to become more strict on form, or a combination of both???

oh, yeah... saw the other "kid" effort, ryan.... pretty good....

I shall keep a copy of the program stowed away as a must try down the track!!!!

saw the vidz of big Ds powerlifting win on your blog... saw the other "juniors".... damn, you sure grow them big!!!!

love to come and visit stateside and drop by for a WOD soon!!!

[Jeremy Barnett]

Thanks Carter. After the 15 weeks ends we re-test his 1RM and adjust the weights from there.

Yeah, he's a pretty big kid. Hence the nick name BIG D.

If you're ever in Florida stop in for a WOD. We'd love to have you.
