Swanks getting his brain AMPed with AMPitropin!

[TheSwanks]

Awesome workout this morning. Hit chest with a vengeance!! Up 5lbs for the same reps on all sets for all lifts. That carb up did wonders for me!

 

[kenpoengineer]

I want those carbs you consumed! Up 5 lbs on every lift is fantastic! Nice job brother.

Especially when the icing is warm and sticky.

..time to get weird?

Chocolate iced Long johns with custard inside are the best, with standard iced doughnuts second

don't get me started on donuts. it's not uncommon for me to eat a dozen in the car on my way to work lol

Fair to say: doughnuts are the best thing since creation of women?

 

[TheSwanks]

Fair to say: doughnuts are the best thing since creation of man?

any other statement would be pure heresy

 

[RegisterJr]

Mmm. I never think about doughnuts on cheat days. Probably a good thing. A dozen must be around 4,000 cals easy.

 

[thebigt]

Its OK bros, thanks for the support. I just worry about the kids, everything else is secondary for me

sorry to hear about your pending divorce...but you have priorities right on!!!

stay focused and use frustration/aggravation as aggressive fuel for workouts...this helped me immensly when i was a younger hot head, lol.....not saying you are a hot head, but getting it out with workouts will do magic!!!

good luck, swanks!!! take care of them kids...

Friggin aye! I want a doughnut now but alls I got is a grapefruit.

That's going to take an awful lot of imagination, J. Lol!!

Lol, C. If I mix some protein frosting on top and make a donut hole, there's a 50/50 chance it might taste like one.

Same thing used to happen during my divorce. Keep yourself healthy at all cost. Make sure you are keeping nutrition in check including vitamins/minerals. Be very careful driving as your mind is going to be distracted thinking about this bullshiz. Shield the kids as best you can. Sorry if I'm getting too personal. I lived with my soon to be ex for 6 months before she moved back to Texas. Pure hell brother!!

This is my last day brother. Tomorrow I move. I'll get through it. Nutrition is in check, taking a daily multi, ubiquinol, tons of vit c. I just need to be allowed to get a good night's sleep which she obviously doesn't want to allow. One more day.

My new bed was delivered to the apartment yesterday. Tomorrow night I'll be sleeping on 10 inches of memory foam heaven lol

Sick as a dog and stressed to the max, still hitting back squats 5x5 @ 335. Been a while since I really tried to push weight, I've been doing things in the 10-15 rep range for legs for a while

I shortened up the workout a bit. I cut the front squats out for this week since I got a bloody nose this morning. Lol. I'll be doing a lot of stair climbing today when I move so its probably a good idea anyway

 

[BoneDaddy]

Major props for keeping it on the tracks brother. I know it's tough.

Does it mess with your sleeping schedule if you take it too late?

 

[TheSwanks]

Does it mess with your sleeping schedule if you take it too late?

Only if you're caffeine sensitive. It has about as much as a cup of coffee so not too bad

 

[RegisterJr]

That's another beauty of waking up so early to workout. By the time it's time for bed it doesn't really matter how much caffeine you've had, your body is just ready to rest. At least for me.

Hey bro, hope all went well last night and you got a quiet night in your new place.

Speaking of... I have storage space for your power rack, Swanks.

Very generous lol

Here's the new gym. they supply chalk, have an oly lift station and cater to BBers and PLers. They only have about 15 cardio machines total, stair climbers, bikes, treadmills and a jacobs ladder. Most of the machines are hammer strength leverage or free weights. they have 4 full racks, 3 squat racks and 1 of thos squat racks with the suspension hooks on it, dumbells go up to 185lbs. This is no planet fitness!

Sweet! Wow. Never seen DB's over 125.

 

[wicked442]

Looks like it has what you need!

 

[pete8407]

Very nice!!! I've always wanted to open up my own gym. Like a hardcore one where it's just a old warehouse converted into a badass gym. Just one big room with a bunch of racks, free weights, etc.
