Ace gets pumped with AP

At first, it was both..
For a good month or two I couldn't even train legs, let alone barely walk.
Now I can do most exercises but I've been keeping them light.
As of now, when I do regular squats I have to go light because sitting back makes my ham feel like it's going to pop, again.
we have two ghr at my gym, the actual good one, I cannot use yet. It puts too much pressure on the back of my knee, making it feel like it'll tear again.
I hate it. I feel like such a b1tch squatting 155.
Whatever though just have to work around it. No lie my quads are pretty thrashed this morning.. must have been the back to back sets, literally the only rest yesterday was how long it took my bro to complete the sets
I figure I'll let it heal, keep it light, and i'm sure I won't be squatting too heavy with MD so by the time I finish that i'm hoping that not only will my wheels grow, but I'll be ready to squat heavy again.
As a BB, my legs are a glaring weakness. I know this seems opposite to logic, but before I tore my ****, my legs blew up from squatting 350-400 on the regular -

Figured I'd post my training in a separate post.
06/25 shock upper
seated DB rear delt fly ss fat man rows
25x20, 35x3x15 // Bw x4x12
- palms facing backwards for rd
-elbows at 90° with body for both
Db lateral raises ss fat bar seated ohp
20x5x20 // bar + 40(per side)x5x12
-last set dropset on each
-the fat bar is light, prob 30-40lb
Free motion cable chest fly ss slight incline DB twist press
23x4x20 // 50x4x10
Last set dropset on each
BB flat bandell press ss fat bar pushup
Three 10lb KB per side x 4x15 // Bw x4x12
-we no longer have a bandell bar so I used a regular BB, making the movement more stable than a traditional bandell bar
CG supinating pulldowns ss baseball high pulley pullovers
110 x4 x8 // 60x4x 8
-last set dropset each
I haven't achieved a pump of this level in quite some time.
Not quite sure what it was from, whether the AP, mixed pre's, or exercise combinations, but it was so extreme it hurt.
Felt like king Kong walking out of there.
Edit: about six hours after training I took my dog on a bike ride, about fifteen minutes with some 50yd sprints in there I think it was eight.
Two in the grass, the remaining six I did on the concrete with my brakes applied. - 06-26-2013, 06:53 AM
I'm glad that you've been able to work around it and continue to make progress man. Yeah, MD is brutal, but will be a nice break from the heavy weight. I had a couple nagging injuries that have completely gone away during my MD run. I'm sure that you'll be back to squatting heavy soon enough.

The meals are making me hungry ace!
As you already know, don't worry about weight on squats bud. I've followed you since I've been on AM, I know you're a beast :-). Just let that thing heal and you'll be back to squatting heavy in no time bud!!Independent - 06-26-2013, 03:30 PM

Notes today, looking quite full today. Still pretty dry too for how I've been eating.
Pump in the gym was ridiculous. - 06-26-2013, 04:36 PM

Welcome, just updated my post for todays training and diet
Yeah, I love carb cycling. As long as I keep it pretty clean I can still stay dry and I just fill up like a balloon.
I've been noticing I feel and look Fuller this week.. Hmmm - 06-28-2013, 01:57 AM

Yea was talkn macros...like how many low before a high day and what numbers u use for low and high cuz I wanna do the sake but I'm always torn at what nunbers to use
- 06-28-2013, 05:08 PM
Oh ok, sorry.
What i've been doing and has worked really well is this:
M high
T high
W low
Th med/high
Fri-sun low
High days are big training days. Carbs around 300-400 mostly periworkout
Fats around 50-80
Low days are off days from training.
Carbs around 50 fats 100-150
Protein is always 250-300
Might be lower on high carb days - 06-28-2013, 05:26 PM
Cool thanks...I do something similar usually high then moderate but if I'm extremely active on a low day with training and cardio ill usually make it at least a moderate day so I'm not taking in absurb amounrs of protein and fat

I only go that low because I don't do anything physical at work, and my only cardio is 10-15 min bike ride with dog
Today is low, see below
Haha, sure thing guys.. maybe Monday morning (see if I'm depleted) vs Wednesday morning- after two high days I should be much Fuller.
06/28
Low carbs, off day
M1
4 whole eggs
5oz ny strip
1c rice
M2
9 Oz chicken
Plateful of green beans, asparagus, broccoli
1/4 c mixed almonds, walnuts, cashew
M3
2 scoops Oe protein
1/4 c almonds
M4
Same as M2
M5
12oz Sirloin butt
2 tbsp natty pb
some green beans
So that puts macros today roughly at
50c
150f
320p
Notes,
Forgot to take AP this morning, it was 530 am and I wasn't thinking.
Also, my traps and arms are wrecked - 06-28-2013, 09:55 PM
