Skipped my chest deload session today due to sunburn, I'm just gonna start my deload tomorrow. Got my fat squeezed and weighed in today, up 5 lbs 176-181. Gained 1 lb of fat. Up to 9.3% BF. Makes me feel pretty good about this last month, also kinda makes me feel like a little bitch whining about my squats last week.

Awesome man, those are nice gains!!

How's xgels

 

[Randoja]

How's xgels

Today was the first day that I've actually dosed them correctly since SNS had their SNAFU with the amount of ArA per capsule, but as a vasodilator it worked great today, I had some serious pumps. I'll have to wait till tomorrow probably to see the full inflammatory properties with DOMS but even while I was deloading I got a little on some days with less than half the dose, so I'm hoping my chest and tris are on fire tomorrow. I'll definitely let you know.

My front delts were still super sore from bench on Monday. I really had to grind my way through the Mil press, but it's 20lbs more than my last 5x5 and I feel like if I wasn't sore would have had it no prob. Really starting to see some nice progression on shoulders 135 was my 1RM not long ago and today it went up 25 times.

 

[MadmanMike]

Your getting stronger, keep it going, dont lose this momentum!!

 

[Randoja]

Thanks bro, shoulders are by far my weakest link after breaking my collarbone a few years back. It's really nice to see progression like this, especially because I know it will directly transfer into bench progress as well. Definitely gonna keep the momentum going with some deadlifts tomorrow 5x5 @ 385, I'm even thinking about recording a set. Thanks for following along bro.

sounds good man, thank you for working out and longing it so I i am able to follow i broke my collar bone in high school and yeah it sux, coming back and losing like 70 pounds on all lifts...but i stayed with it and in a year i broke my pr's prior to injury, and it looks like your doing extremely well too. Rest well, deadlifts are killer.

[benmayro]

Thanks bro, I seriously could have won a wet tshirt contest with how sweaty I was. Well maybe not won but these beautiful b cups would have placed lol.

 

[benmayro]

Those are the days those, when i carry a towel with me and have to wipe down everything from my forehead to the dumbells.. Thats why i never wear white ts because i dont want anyone staring at theses a's

 

[Randoja]

As I was writing down tomorrows workout I noticed that my last workout was written on the back of an old back workout.

3-9-12 Back, Abs
Dead Lift 8@185--8@185--6@225--6@225--4@275--4@275 PB

7-20-12 Back, Biceps
Deadlift 5@135--3@225--3@315--4x5@385--3@385

Really speaks to how effective logging your progress is, especially with all the support, and feels good to look back on it IMO. Definitely a motivator coming into this next week. Gonna try for 4x4 @ 230-Bench 330-Squat 145-Mil and 405-Deads.
