awesome ! lovin the PR's enjoy your break

Day 21

Weight 168 +13

BB Bench - 95x6, 195x8, 205x3, 185x8, 135x10 (slow!)
Incline DB - 55x10, 65x8
DB Flies - 30x10
Fly Machine - 110x8, 130x8, 150x8, 100x8
Close Grip Bench - 135x8, 145x8, 155x8

All is good here. Only thing bothering me are my joints. Elbows in particular. I may start dosing cissus and a few more fish oil caps. 3 weeks in and I started on bench with 155x10, and now doing 195x8. I'm sure muscle memory played a small role, but Fina is the real deal. To be honest the pound gained over the weekend wasn't even earned. I didn't eat much, and yet the gains continue. I feel that I look much better than I did at the start and I have had some friends tell me my arms are looking big. Good stuff!

adding a bit of cissus is a good idea. Im glad to see you enjoying the product

I know exactly what you're describing. When I'm folding papers in the morning my shoulders get fatigued quick and then feel pumped. Only seems to be on repetative movements and not while I'm lifting though. During my soccer game yesterday, I fought the first half with what felt like serious lactic acid build up, but then it seemed to get better 2nd half.

LOL now that is funny

Day 24

Squat! - 135x5, 205x5, 250x1, 300x0, 250x5, 205x10

1 of my main problems is not working legs hard enough. Decided to push it today. Was not an endurance session, but focused on power. warmed up with 135 and 205. never squat more than 245x2 so i decided to do a single of 250. Got it pretty easy. Would have loved to get 300 lmao, but I fear I was being a bit ambitious. I got half way down and chickened out. Felt heavy as ****. dropped 2 25's and repped 250 for the first time ever for 5 reps. I'm very happy with this!. then did 10 reps of 205. The last 205 set I really felt the burn.

awesome job man !!!! congrats

the failed attempt at 300 may have also primed your nervous system and made 250 feel light by comparison... either way, great lifts man.

NICE!!!

That's 1 hell of a gain. 250x5
Don't sweat the 300.
I think it's more of a mental thing when going for a PR on any lift.
Keep pumping bro.

JP.

nice post

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! Today I will be trying to set some new pr's on bench.

ok this is going to sound stupid.... Yesterday when doing my squats I was having troubles adding the weight up. I bought a 300 pound weight set, so I'm assuming all the weights and bar total is 300.... and I couldn't figure out why things wern't adding up when I was going for 250. Turns out with the (2)5 plates it all equals 310 pounds. So I tried to max out at 310 by accident. This gives me a lot of hope for 300. I will be double checking all the plates today because yesterday was so frustrating. I spent a good 10 mins questioning whether I had done 250 because I still had 2(25) and 2(5) plates left over, lmao.

Warmed up 135x6 on the bench, then repped 225x1. I have never benched 225 and I feel it is a stepping stone to a whole new world. The single was very easy to be honest. I will be performing 235 in 20 mins, and if that is accomplished I will go for 240 or 245 depending how easy the 235 is after another 20 mins. Here goes!

nice work bro your makin some awsome gains

Day 25

BB Bench - 135x6, 225x1, 235x1, 245x0, 185x10

Despite trying for 3 max attempts, I still put 185 up 10 times. I'm curious to know if I had a chance with 245 had I tried it as my only attempt.

I like to spend a little bit longer working up to my 1rm, and start a lot lower in weight.
Usually with just the bar at first.
Everyone works a bit differently, but I feel like it helps to give your joints a chance to wake up.
Maybe try that the next time you max?

I sure will try that.

Just to note - I've been checking my boys every night for last week as I'm nearing the end, and today they seem a bit smaller. Seems to have happened in 1 day, lol. Also to note there was a complication in sexual activity with my gf today. Still get horny, but I take forever to go. Perhaps at the very end of this cycle I'm experiencing some good shut down? To be honest I was prepared for this to happen much sooner than it did. Other than this, things are great.

Damn forgot to mention one other thing. Seems as though my aggression has skyrocketed just in the last 3-4 days. I've been getting pissed and irritated much easier.

Take that aggression with you to the gym and use as much as you can there!

Well, oddly my boys have come back. Workout in 30 mins.

Day 28

Completely forgot to warmup.... where's my head been lately lol.

BB Bench - 205x6 (almost got 7!), 195x8, 185x10 ss 135x15
Skullcrushers
BW Dips
Finished off with set of curls for fun 65x20

SO PUMPED. Feeling great. I'm going to try for 250 bench on thurs. Tomorrow I will be getting some deads in, and then weds is the last day with legs.
I'll try to finish this log with a 250 bench, 300 deadlift, and 300 squat. Even if I don't meet these numbers, this cycle has been amazing.
