Had massive back pumps and tried to do SLDL and wow was that painful. Bailed after 1 set of just the bar to see if I could do the movement. Too much for me so I hopped on the bike for about 15 minutes for a LISS cooldown.

[IrishSoldier]

Shoulders, legs and core. Looks like what I got tomorrow since I had no time for legs/core today

[Montego1]

Good sessions man. Keep an eye on those back pumps though. Could be signs of dehydration setting in. Make sure ur slamming the water.

[joh408]

I usually get 1.5-2 gallons of water per day so I'm not sure if it is dehydration. I could have been low that day tho, I'll be sure to track my water from now on.

[DreamWeaver]

Yah not enough water can cause cramping. Some more sensitive to dryness than others.

[joh408]

I think I have to up my water intake to 2 gallons a day. I got a massive cramp near the end of my workout today after doing 4 sets of roman chair knee raises. I bent over to stretch out and have a massive pain around the abdominal area on the right side. It felt like a balloon of pressure from my groin region up to my lower abs. Any ideas? I've felt it before when working my core hard so it may just be that my core is weak. I'm not sure. My week is all out of wack so I did deadlifts today.

Deadlift day:
Deadlift:
5x135
5x145
3x175
5x185

Need to get straps or chalk, my grip is way too weak. I could have gotten more on 275 but I had to reset after 6 and pull singles since my grip was slipping.

went to "last post" link on your thread and BAM! you jumped up and scared the bejeebers outta me!
lol..
per the cramp: personally do not think that is water issue, altho i will not dissuade you from drinking 2g water daily as i think that would be great..moreso that exercise selection you chose, and possible underdevelopment of muscle
or last but certainly just as likely - a blip on the ol' radar bro
but yes make sure you are getting plenty hydration within your training as well, lots of guys tend to forget to drink thruout a training session and this is very crucial aspect to include
other than that everything seems to be going well in here, keep cracking my man!

[IrishSoldier]

Good lifts right here, that'll getcha hardbody!

Haha sorry to scare you bud. I think it is under development of my abs. I don't work them out enough and I think they were just trying to tell me that. I think that this stack is exactly what I needed to get the results I want. I can see changes daily so I'm stoked on that.

That's what I'm going for. Trying to stay big but let these abs show through

[IrishSoldier]

Yep haha. I don't like bulking or cutting. I've slowly been trying to recomp for over a year

[joh408]

Had some fun this weekend. Ended up losing my playoff game today. Saw one of my buddies who I had last seen over winter break. Commented on how I looked like I lost a lot of weight. Digging it. Feeling good

[snagencyV2.0]

I love comments like that especially if im knees deep in a cut or vice versus when i come home from the gym or after a carbup when my wife says i look fuggin huge. Really causes my ego to expand LOL.

[joh408]

Haha right? Those ego boosts plus the mood effects of PX Black have me sky high. I'm getting compliments more often and it only fuels me more in my pursuit of a good physique
