The ultimate next day leg workout! Lol. Nice job in here brother.Just carried my daughter upstairs to bed, that sucked.
Thanks Pete. But don't tell my wife I can be so detail oriented, could lead to me having to do more sh!t around the house. :ziplip:That delt burner at the end is badass! I'm going to try that this week. I love the detail in this log, you definitely know how to log a product. People should take notes including myself. Bravo man.
Don't want you to have to do anymore house work nowThanks Pete. But don't tell my wife I can be so detail oriented, could lead to me having to do more sh!t around the house. :ziplip:
The one thing I forgot to mention is that I perform 5 or 6 reps of each exercise on those tri sets. Otherwise because your lateral delts are involved in all 3 they can get overloaded a ton and you end up not working the posterior and anterior heads. I also try real hard to maintain slow eccentrics with delts since they are such a dense muscle group, much like calves.That delt burner at the end is badass! .
Dude, my list is currently about 3 years out before I have it completed at the moment.Don't want you to have to do anymore house work now
That's a good point. I tend to stick with one movement for triceps after my Bench and BBB OHP, same on the opposite of that.The one thing I forgot to mention is that I perform 5 or 6 reps of each exercise on those tri sets.

I know what you mean, every time I'm finishing something or I'm about to finish my wife has something else already planned.Dude, my list is currently about 3 years out before I have it completed at the moment.
We don't need your romantic details here, Pete....I know what you mean, every time I'm finishing something or I'm about to finish my wife has something else already planned.
LOL! That's funny right ther.We don't need your romantic details here, Pete....
I'm sorry but I just read his post wrong & it was all gutter from there
If I was you I would just incorporate some volleyball specific exercises to your leg day. Exercises that spring to mind, db jump squats, box jumps and even squat speed pulls will build explosiveness.First practice in 3 months, and I was slapped in the face with the harsh realization that I can't take 3 months off and try to jump back into volleyball. Defense was solid, serve receive was decent, and even my jump serve was still hard and heavy, but hitting and blocking were a big disappointment. I could barely touch the rim after warm ups. Unfortunately it looks like most of leg days will be polymerics until tournament season is over, or at least until I get my springs back. This weekend my wife and I are taking the kids to Jay Peak, spend time on the mountain, and in their indoor water park. But they have a decent gym so I'll be able to get in a good workout or 2. Maybe have some pics from this weekend in my next post.
That's are real good idea! The jump squats would be great for volleyball.If I was you I would just incorporate some volleyball specific exercises to your leg day. Exercises that spring to mind, db jump squats, box jumps and even squat speed pulls will build explosiveness.
Thanks Hyde. Definitely not much to complain about in my world right now.Cute kids. Wife is hot. You're at a waterpark while a lot of the country is in snow. Life is lookin' good for you
Oh no, we were at a resort in the mountains. Jay Peak just below the Canadian border. It was still cold as hell outside. But it was a great time. My kids had a blast.Great looking family! Jealous of the water park while I'm here in 14 degree weather! Nice workout volume! Stamina galore!

Couldn't have said it better if I triedIt's got a controlled release mechanism, so dosing later in the day is gonna leave you in Clark Kent mode all morning & potentially inhibit sleep in the evening. Plus it will be more suppressive as natural T peaks upon rising in the morn - dosing first thing more closely mimics natural rhythms, basically letting you stay less suppressed for longer (making PCT easier, smoother, & helping you maintain all your gains).
congrats on the pr bro! 265 is within your grasp, by the end you'll be pushing 285Hotel gym was surprisingly well equipped. Squat rack, benches, dumbells, plenty of plates, some machines, tons of cardio equipment, and CABLES. :-D. Also a multi adjustable bench for declines, flat, and all kinds of incline work. BB Bench Press / Lateral Raises 135 x 10 / 15s x 12 185 x 6 / 20s x 10 225 x 6 / 20s x 10 265 x FAIL / 20s x 10 255 x 1* / 25s x 8 135 x 12 / 25s x 7 *PR at 255. My step son was working out with me so I had him spot me with strict spotting instructions. I was feeling pretty strong so I went for the gusto. 265 was just a bit heavy but I got 255 and was quite happy. I've never hit that much weight, even at my strongest in college. Seated Low Cable Flys / Upright DB Rows 20s x 12 / 45s x 12 30s x 12 / 50s x 10 40s x 10 / 55s x 9 Oh cables, how I've missed you. The angle of resistance and constant tension from cables is a welcome remembrance. Those of you who get to use then on a regular basis I envy you. Don't take them for granted because they are an awesome tool in the size and strength tool box. Incline DB Press / Upright BB Rows 55s x 10 / 95 x 12 60s x 10 / 95 x 12 65s x 9 / 95 x 12 Reverse Grip BB Bench to Regular Grip / Low Cable Laterals, alternating sides 115 x 8, 4/ 20 x 5,5,5,5 115 x 8, 4/ 20 x 5,5,5,5 115 x 8, 4/ 20 x 5,5,5,5 My stamina crazy. I'm not feeling tired in the least bit, and I feel like I could workout all day. I don't really feel like my strength is diminishing either. Medicine Ball PushUps to Fingers Out Pushups / Static Lateral Holds, 5 second holds 6, 6 / 15s x 8 6, 6 / 15s x 8 I decide to call or quits, partially because I don't to hit the counter productive point, but mostly because my step son had had enough. But 3 weeks into this run and strength is at where I wad during my last cycle at the end. Still 206 on the scale but I think I may be seeing a leaning effect which would be pretty cool if you ask me, or my wife. With 3 weeks left to go I really feel more mass is in my future.

Thanks Luke, that's my goal!congrats on the pr bro! 265 is within your grasp, by the end you'll be pushing 285
And I do love my heavy compounds. I'm 99% sure it's a tendon issue, and rest is going to be the best thing, but unfortunately I have a bit of an addictive personality and keeping away from lifting will be just about impossible. I will take it easy when necessary, and anti inflammatory meds when it makes sense, but since muscle inflammation is a major part of the hypertrophy process I'll do so sparingly. Shoulders and chest will be Flys and laterals until it's better. But my lower body will certainly get more attention than it did before.Hey Mountian. Nice work out. It's a shame about your elbow. Do you think it's bone or muscle? Warm that Sh*t up with some icy hot before you lift, you guys got it so cold over there. Should just give it some days off & plan working some other muscles. Only thing that sux about that is , seems almost all exercises we love involve the elbows.
Good advice, I also get a lot of joint pain at times. I generally do glucosamine/chondroitin/msm and cissus, sometimes I will rub some blue emu oil on the area pre-workout. I've also at times taken a product called D-flame that is a natural anti-inflammatory. Good luck with the healing. Don't get to impatient and hit it hard too early.Whenever elbow issues happen to me, I use neoprene elbow sleeves when lifting, take something with cissus (iForce Joint Help) in it, add in glucosamine with that and use the voodoo floss bands when not lifting. I'm older so these joint issues happen easily.
I'll definitely take it easy on pressing movements. I'll have to look into the D-flame. Thanks hurdle.Good advice, I also get a lot of joint pain at times.
