lol...
Its a tough obsession to deal with.Daily weight fluctuations almost drove me batty during previous cuts. That's why I only weigh myself once a week now (same day every week). Seemed to save my sanity.
STOP ITI'd be happy if I could just weigh myself once a day. I'm hitting the scale probably 5-6 times a day
NICE!!I think right now i'm scale up 5lbs, LBM up 9-10, so fat down 5 from start.
Keep up the good work easy. 3x/week full body sounds insane. You got some balls.207 today, but dinner was late and large. so I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow i'm back at 204. not doing anything exciting today another rest day. Shoulders + back still sore from friday, whcih is kinda nice whole body workouts 3x weekly is rough.
I have the same problem with the Flat bench. I cant do much weight on bb but can push out 65s with dumbells. Im thinkn maybe bad form or the supporting muscles maybe are just stronger. Maybe rotator cuff probs.we always are our own worst critics
Day 1 gbc
A1 - Step Ups 4 x 12 (20X) 60 sec - 25lb dumbbells
A2 - Chin Ups 4 x 10 (311) 60 sec - sets 1-3 -125lbs, set 4 -140
B1 - Lunges (dynamic) 3 x 12 (311) 45 sec no added weight. I'm concentrating on doing timing correctly, and full ROM, and its hard without any extra weight
B2 - Incline Dumbbell Chest Press 3 x 10-12 (411) 45 sec 40lb dumbbells - new PR! and bizarrely more weight than I can do on barbell flat benches? I dont understand that.
C1 - Seated Leg Curl 3 x 10 (401) 45 sec 110lbs
C2 - Barbell Shoulder Press 3 x 12 (311) 45 sec 55lbs on smith machine, used slower timing too (511)
D1 - Seated Dumbbell Hammer Curl 2 x 10-12 (411) 30 sec 30lbs for one set, 25 for another. still hard on elbows, I can't get thru full ROM on 30lbs for even the 1 whole set. I need some 27 lbs dumbbelss
D2 - Lying Dumbbell Triceps Extensions 2 x 10-12 (422) 30 sec 35lbs
Nice workout, I took 3 rpm preworkout this morning, instead of any preworkout drink. sweated like a mofo, but really I was very happy with the workout. I'm really not sure about why I have such a hard time with flat barbell presses, but can do 40s on dumbbells on incline.
did you find that Hawaiian punch drin at walgreens?207 again. Feels good to be able to eat carbs tho, had 1/2 cup of Müsli # 22 (rasberry + almonds) with 1 cup of cottage cheese. expensive damn cereal, but really nice. all organic, high in fiber, tasty. off day today, shoulders and legs still feeling it from yesterday
You wont believe this but I went to Walgreen's yesterday and asked if they carried Hawaiian punch singles and the lady there looked at me like I was speaking another language. And she seriously asked me, "what is Hawaiian punch?":jaw: Turns out they didnt have em. Just crystal light singles.crap, forgot all about checking. but i'm sure thats it
What is this world coming to if I cant have some sugar free Hawaiian punch!!:aargh:kids nowadays
sounds like a paaaaaarrrrr-tay..lolthen a microsoft event
wow those are some impressive leg numbers. niceA1 - Deadlift 4 x 10-12 (311) 60 sec 40+bar
A2 - Swiss Ball Push Ups 4 x 12-15 (222) 45 sec no swiss ball, just floor
B1 - Leg Press 3 x 12-15 (411) 60 sec, 90lbs on regular press
B2 - Seated Cable Row w/rope to Neck 3 x 10-12 (321) 45 sec 110lbs - up 20 lbs
C1 - Single Standing Leg Curl 3 x 10 (411) 45 sec 80lbs
C2 - Lateral Raise 3 x 12 -15 (221) 45 sec 12.5lbs
D1 - Barbell Curl 2 x 10 - 12 (311) 45 sec 50lbs
D2 - EZ Bar French Press (seated) 2 x 10- 12 (311) 30 sec 45lbs
everything was static except for the seated cable row. actually deadlift was down, but full range of motion on all sets (the handles turned downwards). The workout is also hitting true correct timing now, so its shorter but faster. I pour sweat off after the middle of the B sets now, for the rest of the workout. Feels good. I can see the mirror difference regardless of the scale difference so fudgeit.
Im confused what are the numbers in the parenthesis.A1 - Deadlift 4 x 10-12 (311) 60 sec 40+bar
A2 - Swiss Ball Push Ups 4 x 12-15 (222) 45 sec no swiss ball, just floor
B1 - Leg Press 3 x 12-15 (411) 60 sec, 90lbs on regular press
B2 - Seated Cable Row w/rope to Neck 3 x 10-12 (321) 45 sec 110lbs - up 20 lbs
C1 - Single Standing Leg Curl 3 x 10 (411) 45 sec 80lbs
C2 - Lateral Raise 3 x 12 -15 (221) 45 sec 12.5lbs
D1 - Barbell Curl 2 x 10 - 12 (311) 45 sec 50lbs
D2 - EZ Bar French Press (seated) 2 x 10- 12 (311) 30 sec 45lbs

I get it. I was saying that I never wouldve guessed when I got into working out at 15 that there was more to it than how much weight you do, how many sets/reps you do. I thought you just had to pick up some weights and I would be in perfect shape..lol.it sort of makes sense. time under tension is more critical than amount of weight used when you are looking for muscle shape/size/hardness rather than strength. so doing for instance 3 sets of 12 of hammer curls with 25lbs on a 410 timing will give way different results than 3 sets of 6 at 40lbs with a 222 timing.
Same here.yeah, it is amazing really. I can't wait till I get into trying to work with symmetry and shooting for specific growth in areas
