PES/USP Testifying for my Muscles, Celorza to the Stand!!

[houstontexas]

I never really go workout mad or anything. For me it seems like it would be preoccupying my mind and not actually helping me focus on the task at hand. I think you are right when you say that each person has their own method and we should all do what works best for us. I do see the point in not wanting to bring up heartbreaks, disappointments, etc just for a workout though. I would rather get over that kind of stuff instead of reminding myself of it to have a good workout. Idk weird subject lol.

[Celorza]

First of all, nice update pics you sick sob freak of nature! 2nd killer workouts and 3rd HELLZ yeah on the PR!!!!!! Love it brother.

Thanks Tommy I appreciate it!!

Congrats on the bench brother! Also you are recomping not cutting so don't worry about losing...whose to say you didn't lose .5lbs of fat and gain 1.5lb of muscle? And as for your pics...your back is certainly growing! As are your arms more and more! You have a kill vein totally relaxed! Nothing screams progress like that! Keep it up and you will be a monster in a year! 160lbs benching 300

Thanks lean brother ! I always love your input!

I have to disagree here. Each person has their own method and philosophy when it comes to this particular topic. Some people need to be pissed off and angry to get them focused and stoke the fire, but some perform best while calm.

For me, I work best when I'm at that stage of anger when you start to tear up and that applies to many things in my life. Back in MMA days, my coach would always tell me to be calm and stay relaxed, but that's just not my method. I need the anger and hate and disappointment that has helped to push me when I could have stopped. Now, where I draw the line is that I do not bring those emotions home and I leave them in the gym or the cage.

I agree with yah here bro really. I just function better that way too.

I'm not saying I don't like training angry, because I do. I'm just saying you can't be mad every single day of the week.
At those times simply your love of training should be enough

For some people, this is their method. Training is a form of therapy for many, myself included, and there are times (e.g. amping up for a ME) that you have to draw upon something within yourself that you need for whatever reason.

I agree with you my friend i'm just saying I can't always be mad about something.
If I was, my life would suck. No offense

I only use it when I NEED to pull something out of me. There are days when I don't want to train at all and getting under the bar with 600lbs on my back and not focused is a bad idea.

Agreed, on both points. It's always nice to work some frustration out at the gym.. I wasn't trying to say I don't use anger as fuel, because I definitely do.

The main reason I was saying that was that I was telling celly he needs to let the woman go and forget about her, as started earlier, " bitches ain't ****"

And LOL at the middle two posts. If I was on my computer I'd have a great picture for you, of will Smith in fresh prince. He's sitting down, arms open, the caption says " I ain't even mad"


Edit: I wasn't mad in any way and I hope it didn't come off as disrespectful or angry, I was simply discussing my points. I apologize if it came off that way

[houstontexas]

LOLUMADBRO!?!?!?!


LOL I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't think you were actually mad. It was all in good fun so no need to apologize unless someone actually gets butthurt...

[snagencyV2.0]

all in good fun

Workout Notes:
Couldn't lift in the AM , had to pick up my Mom at the airport since she came to visit and my dad got here last night. Lifter PM and non-fasted, yet I was on my A game, laser focus and no distractions , in and out in 55 minutes.

Stack Notes:
-Muscle fullness will be put to the utmost test...when parents are home I kinda cheat a bit.
-enjoying the rise in strength and focus a lot, my squats just felt so f*cking good today! I mean I really managed to stay tight and come down slow and boom up. I did look up now and drove though the heels.
-best part is recovery, pumps and fullness honestly it feels awesome!

[packers6211]

I can look and see several things and improvement but nothing makes me happier then seeing CCCCCCCC with PR's friggin hell yeah.

[AaronJP1]

Pushing the same weight of someone that may have 25lbs on ya = strong.

I wouldn't say I lift angry, as I try not to think about anything, but I'm sure there's time when I've gotten pissed & tried pushing more weight.



Keep rockin Cel.

Thanks brothers it really means a lot!

[Celorza]

Oh and to clarify (I'm on my phone, hard to reply to all).

Training has been therapeutic for me, and thanks to it I was actually able to piece myself and my life back together...like Rodja said, sometimes you need to dig deep for some of that to actually be able to lift an get under the bar with the proper confidence and focus.

Aceroni bro, that's te point I am not mad every day about it anymore...and I wasn't mad at her, more at myself...anyhow it has been sort of over for a while, yet I still need to call upon that rage and drive, it reminds me of what I have to do and get done in this lifetime...reminds me of my failures and short comings, and I ain't gonna let anything stop me, certainly not a "happy and comfortable mood" NEVER. But I do agree I can't live with it all of my life every day...but it's kinda hard when I am so used to have this wrath all the time...

[DJBeanPole]

Cel I hope you didn't think I forgot about you. I haven't been in this log for awhile. Life came and took ahold of the reigns for awhile and I haven't been able to check the forums as often as before!

You are making some nice... no, some FREAKING AWESOME progress bro. PRs? All aboard! Nothing greater than that feeling that you just pushed something that was heavier than anything you've lifted before.

Impressive... most impressive.

Day 23, 10/13

-Rest Day, parents in town...binged a bit.

Day 24, 10/14

-Rest Day, parents in town...binged a bit today too...thing is, I am happy they were here and they wanted to eat out and I hadn't seen them in months. I guess it's ok once in a while to put the gym aside for a bit and give time to my family.

Didn't use Test Powder both days, since I was already not taking breaks for it , so it will last until day 26 (That is if my measurement of the 2 scoops has been precise haha). AnaBeta was dosed 2 caps pre-meals for 4 caps total per day. I must say fullness is amazing.

Day 25, 10/15

Supps used Pre-workout:
-2 Caps AB
-2g COP
-6g Citrulline Malate
-2 scoops TP

Overhead Press day:

Warm Up:

-50x5
-65x5
-75x3

Working Sets:
-80x5
-95x5
-105x5+2 PR

Chest assistance movement: Incline Bench Press (Paused, full ROM)
-135x5
-135x5
-135x5
-135x5
-135x5

Dead Hang Pull Ups. BW+8lbs of water and binge.
-BWx10
-BWx10
-BWx7
-BWx7
-BWx7

Didn't wanna sacrifice Form or ROM so kept it up until the first rep failed to complete the pause and full ROM requirements.

Bench assistance movement: Single Arm Dumbbell Bench Press
-65x5
-65x5
-70x3
-70x3
-75x2 PR

Full ROM and pause at the bottom. I am doing these because my bench and overhead are going up faster (thus crooked) on my right arm, hoping I can get it even like this...thus far it seems to be working.

Prehab assistance scapula work: YTW's:

"Super-set" of:
-(6 Y's + 6 T's + 6 W's) with 5 lb dumbbells.

-(6 Y's + 6 T's + 6 W's) with 5 lb dumbbells.

-(6 Y's + 6 T's + 6 W's) with 5 lb dumbbells.

Workout Notes:
Binging helps a bit with the strength...but more so with the pumps...I mean it was sick! My forearms, chest and lats were about tu burst! Anyhow...back to the discipline, cals lowered a bit for the week.

Stack Notes:
-Full Glycogen replenishment with AnaBeta on hand is a bliss, pumps are sick, strength rises like crazy and GI bloat and discomfort is non-existent.

Thanks bro! I honestly keep it up for my bro's (like you haha) here in AM , I have a lot to prove to myself, but I also think that if I can inspire at least one person...then it will be even more worth my while.
