No prob. Yeah I like them a lot. Just got my Chucks in the mail and am going to be trying them out tomorrow. Hi-top chucks.
Training barefoot or in barefoot simulated conditions will increase your foot development, like make your arch higher. When I bought the Chucks, I went a .5 size down because I heard Chucks are made big. When I got these Chucks, I noticed they were STILL big. So 9.5 or even 9 might be a good fit. This was me buying 10's and 10.5's in the past...Although I will say that I bought size 10 Frees and they are nice and tight. SO maybe it's all in my head or maybe the Nike sizes are too small or the Chucks are made too big.
A lot of people who wear chucks look like they are wearing clown shoes.
Anyway, the lack of updates (lack of training as well) lately are due to: a busy school schedule, apathy towards a lot of things, having this ****ty ringworm, and throwing awesome halloween parties and getting drunk over the weekends.

I like the Chucks. A lot. I didn't relaly know how to Zercher squat, like what I should focus on, so I just held the weight Zercher style and squatted. A lot of reps looked like half good mornings as well.

you're trying to bulk? Have you ever counted cals? It helped me lots when I started, now my weight always goes where I want it. And it's not as hard as people think. In the beginning it's alot of work, since then you calculate the cals for alot of the stuff you usually eat, then you put them in excel under "standard meals" or something like that. That way you can just copy paste from there for the rest of your life 
man chucks are always big, i wear 10 or 10.5 too and i get a 9 in chucks.
how low did you go on the zerchers? was that your first time doing them...a zercher virgin? (i didn't go through the older pages)
how low did the bar go? shins? knees? i haven't done them since earlier this year, probably spring, i should get some in again

The Long Halloween
ME Upper
Plate front raises, small amount of push up plyos, plate presses warm up
Incline Bench-
5 @ 115
5 @ 135
3 @ 155
1 @ 165
1 @ 185
0 @ 205
2x0 @ 195 (First rep felt like I got it but the spotter sucked. Helped me too much. Second rep missed on my own accord)
Clean high pulls-
5 @ 135
4x5 @ 165
Single arm db press-
4x5 @ 65
Most of the time I got up the weight using a db clean. Used a db snatch for the last set. This was like a half-assed bent press. Very non commited torso bend.
Pronated grip chins-
3x8 @ BW
Seated bradford press-
3x8 @ 75
SA BB curls-
3x10 @ small bar. Probably 20 lbs.
Tri extensions with rope-
3x12 @ 70
Shrugs-
3x12 @ 165
Duration- 1 hour 20 minutes
Good pace. Probably because it didn't take me long to max the incline press.
Karks, yeah, I guess you can say I'm trying to bulk. I've never counted cals because I'm too lazy, but maybe I should start.
AJP, the Zercher depth went about knee height. The squat itself wasn't very deep, I'd say parallel. On some of the reps I'd hold the bar and not bend over that much, making parallel the deepest I could go, due to the bar hitting my legs.
Thanks FF.

WOW man nice deadlift. I did a max check the other day and got 355, and it seems impossible to me now that I did that. I am 17 years old and dont seem very strong but wow.
lol i tried 365 after the 355, lol couldnt get it off the ground. So props to you. Keep at it
One thing thats shoking is how different your squats and dead lift is. I squat 300 exactly and dead lift 355 so its pretty close. Your off by 100+, any reason to that?
Keep at it.

Thanks Evo. Now if I can get my stubborn squat...
Thanks man. I don't really know why I have a weak squat. It might be because I have a weak/skinny core and can't support much weight when I put it on my back, or a combonation of things. To be honest I don't get excited or really care for my squat like I care about my overhead press and dead. I do it just because I should...anyway I don't know, now I'm just rambling.

OH press-
2x5 @ 115

I got most of the work done, didn't get some of the reps, and as the time indicated, the pace was good...although I didn't really get tired at all. It could be cause the gm was cold, but I was barely sweating.
Thanks, AJP. Yeah, I have problems keeping my chest high when OH squattin. It feels so damn weird.
