Looks good... I do my Argmatine about 30 min before my workout... I take 4 on most days... great pump!

You will love the stack you are on... cant wait to see the progress

 

[stxnas]

I know I have struggled my whole life with weight. If I diet and don't exercise I will pack on the pound it sucks.

I was a bean pole until I was about 22. I REALLY need to watch what I eat these days. I'm very carb sensitive and my weight yo-yos if I don't pay attention to diet and exercise.

 

[bcazo]

I'm going to try Argmatine at 4 caps 30 mins pre workout today thanks! I stopped the LCLT I think it's giving me an upset stomach, did not take it today and no issue. Anyone else have the same?

 

[bcazo]

Day3
Back
Bent over dumbell rows: 70x12, 75x10, 80x8
Wide grip pull downs: 170x14, 190x10
Seated close grip cable rows: 150x12, 170x10
Precor Iso lateral pull down reverse grip: 160x12, 180x10
Hyper extensions: 2 sets till fail

OK, had a very good workout today starting to feel the pumps kicking in!! Normally I do not feel much of a pump when doing back but today was not the case! I had 10 extra minutes at the end of the workout so I did some bi's and chest. Felt very tight at the end and it lasted the rest of the night!!! Here we go!!!!

Can't agree more carbs are my worst enemy!!

no issues with lclt and I take 3 grams a day on empty stomach. I was taking 5 grams every day for about 3 months straight and still no issues

Can't agree more carbs are my worst enemy!!

too many carbs. Fats seem to be more of an enemy for me than carbs. everything in moderation and knowing when to cut it back when needed, or just staying lean without adding too much extra.

 

[bcazo]

Day4
Legs
Leg press:225x12, 275x10, 275x10
Hack squats:135x14, 155x12, 175x10
Leg extensions: 80x14, 95x12, 110x10
Hamstring extensions: 95x 12, 110x10
Seated calf machine: 45x16, 70x12

So, don't laugh at the weight I'm doing with my leg workouts!!! After 8 years of football and a bad knee this is my first attempt in over 5 years to lift any weight with my legs. I've only been doing cardio for legs and now figured I give it a go. As for the workout, felt good pumps again today my legs were fired up after this light workout and NO pain!!!! Starting to notice my veins more in the mirror today. Also my whole body is good sore for the first time in a long time no increase in strenght yet. Friday is my off day and will do cardio only on Sat and Sun. Monday I'm going to step on the scale and take 1 week progress pic's.

Dont worry about the weight... lift with good form, and keep yourself injury free. Nothing worse than rushing back into it, only to injure yourself. Looking forward to the pics. Keep up the good work!

Your right it's not about the weight just want to explain why the big difference compared to my other lifts. Too much pain no gain right! I feel like I my be a pound or 2 lighter on the scale.

Workout last night was good. I pushed myself and was able to up the weight on some sets!

Wish I would have taken measurments, I feel like I'm going to lose inches not pounds!!

I like those rows. But I like to do Barbells row as my second exercise. I pound out pullups and then go heavy on the rows. I feel by doing that when I get to lat pulldowns I have pre exhausted my lats and I feel it more.
what about you? You feel the pulldowns more when you do something before those?

 

[bcazo]

Same here like to fire up the lats before pull downs. Usually I switch up the exercises each week. For this log I'm going to do the same routine for the 4 weeks and see how much weight I can increase each week

 

[bcazo]

Day 13

Off

Today was suppose to be my cardio day. I took my family to the beach and by the end of the day I was shot! I guess running after my 3.5 year old and digging a 3 foot deep hole for him to play in counts for something. I was able to eat well and only cheated with 1 slice of pizza! Cardio tomorrow

 

[bcazo]
