USPLabs Patented Anabolic day 13 & beyond.

[Distilled Water]

Well, where to start.....

I had to work the floor all day bc people don't do their jobs right (well they do but they break tools while doing it, which is my department). When I was trying to leave I got called into the office bc I got into it with the mill supervisor (area i was working today) and was just a cluster fukc. I stayed in there for 45 friggen minutes (I had taken my PA) so I went to the gym from work but forgot my shoes & had to lift in my work boots. I get there and I guess national bench day has been changed bc all the squat racks & cages were taken, along with the hack & leg press. I literally had to wait another 15 minutes from when I got to the gym. (Now 2hr post PA & carbs & 1hr post micro) once I get to doing stiff deads I realize I didn't put my carbs in my intra shake.

Finally I get started and focus was gone, I turned it into more of a Dynamic Effort day

Stiff-Deads up to 335x3 then....
225x5x8

ATG Squats
185x5x8

Seated Calf Raise
150x5x10

No cardio after just came home. 2maro will be a better day and ready for morning cardio.

45min LISS cardio in the books, feeling good today...

Today is the company "thanksgiving" lunch. We're going to a buffet. We have about 8 different nationalities so boss doesn't wanna discriminate I guess. Wish me luck while on this keto guys....

[Distilled Water]

I did great at the buffet. I made myself a nice salad and ate some beef and vegetables. Yeah bout 2 hours later and it's def not agreeing with my stomach (I know, crazy right? HAAAAA)

Other than that I feel good, just gotta make sure my stomach settles down before I hit the gym.

Crazy how sensitive your stomach & GI get after eating clean for so long. I had fast food a little over a month ago and had the same issue. Thank god little Caesars pizza doesn't do this to me (must be in grained in my Detroit DNA)

Nothing too new to report. I think I'm hitting a plateau. That happens when you keep things the same for about 10 weeks I'm still hungry as all get out, had great pumps in the gym. Only weight that increased was DB hammers; 3 sets of 70's for 6 reps. That's a def PR!

When I say plateau I'm mainly talking about diet, my cals haven't really budged in forever. I'm getting pretty n'sync (yeah the group) with my body and it's about time to back off. I've got 3 more days of PA, gonna finish strong.

Something I noticed tonight after my workout, increased vascularity. Not just the norm places like for arms, shoulders & biceps. I'm talking across my chest and onto & around my Delt. Some are protruding and some aren't you can just see a blue vein.

The hunger is a real biotch but I'm hoping everything works out with PA bc this could really help come contest prep time. I'm eating more calories at 185lbs and dropping bf at about the same pace as I was at 215 in contest prep (and just as strong)

Amen. Funny bc I asked everyone & most celebrate thanksgiving like we would. Our owner is Persian so maybe that has something to do with it.

That's why I stick to carbs....
Why don't you like em?
Good energy source, spares protein so the muscle can use em... & not to mention they taste great.
I'm old school.

Heavier style weights, carbs/proteins (40/40/20) maybe even a bit higher on carbs lower on protein.
Maybe I'm just freakin sick in the head haha...

I did do 90min of LISS cardio this morning, I didn't plan on 90 but the lions game was about to come on so I stayed for the entire 1st quarter lol.

Looking back in today, it's clear I've made a transformation as far as eating in general. I had a few plates full, of course. My plates revolved around Turkey (white meat) sweet potatoes and asparagus, was in heaven!

I put some gravy on the turkey and did have some "regular" mashed potatoes but I ate a toooon of the staple meal. I did have some of the other stuff too but not much.

I did eat almost an entire pumpkin pie, mmmm pumpkin. Perhaps I'll try and make some buckwheat pancakes with a scoop of AI pumpkin protein Sunday

I've got a pretty good pump feeling going on right now. Excited for my workout 2maro!!!! I see some PR's, huge pumps & vascularity in the future.

I had some huge pumps but my left shoulder was killlling me! I don't know where this came from. It really affected my workout though. I did pump out a PR on pull ups though ;-)

Here was my pre-workout concoction, it was winderfullllll.



1 scoop of each....

Here's how the workout went....

Wide Grip Pull ups
BWx26
BWx18<---shoulder pain
BWx15

BB Rows (slow and focused on squeeze)
185x12x3

Rope Straight Arm pull down
50x12x3

Rope Face pulls
50x12x3

Everything turned to slow, contraction focused reps. I did should shoulder recovery work after and I'll take proper precautions tonight. Hope it's ok for my chest pump 2maro.

What size shirt u fit DW?

[Distilled Water]

What size shirt u fit DW?

Large is kind of tight, XL is comfortable. In one of the PA threads I posted a picture of me wearing an XL USPlabs shirt. I think it was the orginal thread looking for loggers.

My prep ken now is my shoulders not filling them out right. No problem with my chest back and arms but there's some bunch on my reader Delt area. That's my biggest concern this off season. Shoulders & legs!
