That story was hilarious. I'm rotating in Max Bulk starting tomorrow btw; extra excited now that you're loving the strength so.
I definitely am. And with 2 weeks to go I certainly feel like there's more strength gains on the way. Now if I could just get that damn scale to keep creeping up I'd be all set.That story was hilarious.

^^^ fasted cardio in the am has always worked for me and I'm a very firm believer in it. If you decide to lift weights twice a day be sure to bump your calories up a bit.If you're gonna do it, cardio in the am, fasted on BCAAs is how I'd do it before meal #1. If you're a coffee/stim guy have your black coffee, green/black tea, fatburner, or what have you as soon as you rise or into the exercise to help push the metabolic edge while your body is still roasting fat from your night's fast. Also, science has proven that all other things equal, the body is generally capable of exerting more power/being stronger later in the day - perhaps because the nervous system has 'time to warm up', if you will. The cause is unclear, but you'll lift more weight in the evenings than first thing in the morn.
I sure hope so.your wife's face will be priceless when she gets back home.
I have a creepy side too. JK. :-DLooking good in here. Sorry I haven't been in as much, mostly just lurking
Congrats in the ohp PR bro! I guess nows not a good time to let you know I can almost do 30 bw chins in a row without cheating lol seriously tho man if you want to do more chins do them every day. I love chins and throw in 3 sets at the end of most of my workouts my numbers have skyrocketed since I started doing this.Yesterday was 2 a day #1. Morning Workout: I had do adjust a bit due to my traps still being sore from the living room workout with all the resverse flys I did. I worked delts, and did some lat work, but did a rare amount of extra bicep work. BB OHP / Chin Ups 95 x 8 / BW x 8 95 x 8 / BW x 8 135 x 7 *PR* / BW x 8 95 x 8 / BW x 7 95 x 8 / BW x 6 My first 2 sets of OHP were an additional warm up, but also to see if my elbow was up for some heavy pressing. My initial plan was to try and get above 155 lbs., my current 1RM. After my 4th rep on 135 my elbow started winking at me letting me know that it wasn't quite there yet. I focused very hard on keeping my elbows back next to my shoulders since I have a tendancy to let them drift forward. When I focused on keeping them back it helped and I was able to hit a PR of 7 reps. My previous max on 135 was 5 reps. At the end though my elbow had a slight ache so I dropped the weight back down and went for an "exaggerated" ROM trying to bring the bar to just below my collar bones and try to get some extra delt activation. And the chin ups pissed me off as usual. I hear about or read about guys being able to do 15, 20, even 25 chin ups in a set, and the most I've ever been able to do in 1 set is 11. I've been told that my long arms combined with my body weight is the issue. I've read articles on that but it still irritates that crap out of me.
Thanks Luke, I'll have to try doing them more often you SOB. LOL.Congrats in the ohp PR bro! I guess nows not a good time to let you know I can almost do 30 bw chins in a row without cheating lol seriously tho man if you want to do more chins do them every day. I love chins and throw in 3 sets at the end of most of my workouts my numbers have skyrocketed since I started doing this.
Thanks Pete. Getting there.I do the same with the 25s on the DB handles, whatever works man. The suspension flys are killer! I do these as well. Pics are looking good man, your making progress!
If you can suck up the light weight for a little while until your grip kicks up it makes a difference down the road.Couple guys were also doing back last night at the gym, & they were using these Iron Bull grips on everything late in the workout. Funny how the limiting factor becomes your girly lil grip so fast; you end up using like half the weight on rows lol
Lats lats lats lookin good!207 this morning! :-D <img src="http://anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=97473"/> <img src="http://anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=97474"/>
Trying to take as much advantage of the Max-Bulk while I can, only 1 week left. :worried:Nice workout, you hit a little of everything.
Sure should help keep to the gainz. Think I'll do the same.I know what you mean. I'm in the same boat but I think I'm going run everything together for one big badass stack!
And awesome when you have limited space and it's cold as BALLS outside. :thumbsup:Burpees are very hard!
Me too. But good Lord do they work.I simply hate burpees.
