    P.S. The other guys is an uber good movie
    don't know how I missed this! Good looking out on the link, not sure if it's safe though? Worms and stuff are usually linked to those types of servers, no? Sounds like it's pretty stacked though with tons of choices!

    haha yeah, The Other Guys is definitely next on the list lol

    As I constantly look to improve my physique and tweak my training to aid in just that, one thing on the list was to really bring up my traps. They just didn't peak from the front when relaxed like I want them too which will really help fill in my clavicular area. You get a good amount of work to them in certain types of rowing movements and deads etc etc, so I never really pounded directly on them thinking they would be easily overtrained. After living by this for some time, I figured it was time to give a different approach and try hammering away heavy as hell at them to see if they took on new growth. Maybe mine can take a little more abuse!? So I've actually given them their own day to flat out just kill em. Since then..what do you know? My traps have been getting ridiculously sore (which they never really got), peaking nicely from the front and starting to help fill in my clavicular area a bit.

    So this is what yesterday's workout consisted of:

    Did my usual rotator cuff and upper body warmup to get the blood flowing. Some quick ballistic type stretching and I was good to go!

    BB Shrugs to the front - 135lbs - 15reps 225lbs - 15reps - these sets here were warmup sets with very slow and controlled reps to get the muscle primed nicely. On to my worksets...
    315lbs - 12reps, still slow and controlled and then things get a bit heavy and I use a little bit of body language towards the end to really help get that full rom - 405lbs - 12reps 495lbs - 8reps x 2 - 1set with wraps both hands over and another with no wraps, chalked up and an over under grip!

    1arm at a time DB shrugs - 105lbs - 12reps 115lbs - 10reps - went for the full range of motion here really letting the db hang low and pull down on things before slowly lifting to a full contraction with a static hold on each rep for a couple seconds

    Smith BB Shrugs behind the back - 3plates a side - 12reps 4plates a side - 8reps 2plates a side - 15reps to just burn them out

    Going heavy (even if having to use a good amount of body language to get the weight moving) and moving some good weight around has really helped thicken up my upper trap area thus far. I'm going to continue on doing workouts like this as long as my body keeps responding!

    Afterwards, I hit up the abs with some hanging leg raises for 3-4sets of like 8-12reps, roman chair crunches for like 3sets of 30-40reps and than a steep decline explosive type situp for 3sets of 10-15reps

    Finished up the day with 15min of liss on the tread combined with the 15min of liss in the morning I did for a little damage control. Pushed cals really hard the day before, so I like to than clean it up a bit with some extra treat time

    Here are 2 cold shots I took earlier today. Had my girlfriend take a quick shot of me from behind. Couldn't get a good enough one in the mirror on my own no matter how hard I tried. Spread out just a little on the back shot to show a little width <shrugs>

    Figured I'd continue to share like I said I would.

    Feel I'm still holding pretty lean at my weight and am most likely going to push daily cals soon. Everything seems to be running smoothly at this point and am sticking this offseason thus far just as planned! It's crazy to think things are just getting rolling too.

    I can't wait to see where they go...

    5`8 and weighed 204.8 this morning. Always hold a little bit after a day of not working out so...tomorrow (since I'm working out today) I'll probably weigh in around 203ish.

    Before I dieted down at the end of the summer for my previous show, I was peaked at roughly 215lbs, but a bit sloppy. Weight doesn't mean to much to me, but it allows me to use numbers and the mirror to gauge how fast or slow moves are being made and adjust accordingly.

    No morning liss with Shoulder work being on tap for the day! My traps are still a little sore and I was going to do lower body work, but wanted to get Shoulders in today so I can get Chest in on time this week. I always like to try and give a good amount of time between Chest and Shoulder workouts.

    Got into the gym and started up with my normal warmup routine

    BB Military Press (still warming back up into this movement) - 2 warmup sets - 135lbs - 15reps 155lbs - 12reps 185lbs - 10reps (didn't want to gas out by doing more reps to save my strength for the heavier sets) 225lbs - 8reps on own to failure - 175lbs - 12reps

    Bent over Rear DB Raise - 30lbs - 15reps 40lbs - 12reps than over to 2sets on cables - Top Rear Cable Cross 1arm at a time - 30lbs - 15reps 25lbs - 12reps

    HS Military Press 1arm at a time - 90lbs (a side) - 12reps 115lbs - 8reps 135lbs - 8reps w/slight spot

    Med Grip Upright Row - 100lbs - 15reps 110lbs - 15reps 60lbs - 8reps with a ridiculously slow movement to just burn the muscle out

    Normally that second pressing movement wouldn't be in there, but lately I've been including a secondary just for some unilateral pressing work. Most of the time it would be a second rear delt movement but, I haven't hit that HS machine in forever and it never hurts to change things up a bit

    Finished up with 15min of liss on the tread and shot out of there to get home and eat!!!

    Looks like the Hammies are on call for tomorrow!

    hehe thanks guys!

    Not sure yet, but I may work back a little in weight and start owning the reps on sets like 205lbs and 215lbs instead of making that big jump from 185lbs to 225lbs. Wasn't able to handle the 2plates like I used too, so I may just have to work my way back up slowly again!

    I'm also maybe able to move a bit more weight on the BB because I tilt my head back a bit to recruit a bit of the upper chest and work into that clavicular area!

    Thinking it might be time for some DB work next week! I miss trying to kick those heavy ass DB's all the way up!! Well...not really...

    No morning Liss today

    Hammies were up to bat today...

    Since the Hack machine (if to call it that...it's like a mini version) we have at my gym has been broken, I thought I would give the oldschool hack a shot!

    BB Hack/Deadlift w/bar behind you - after 2 sets I realized I was just wasting my breath and wasn't feeling it like I want in my hams.

    Seated Hamstring curl 1leg at a time - 4sets x20,20,15,13reps

    Laying DB Curl - 35lbs - 15reps 45lbs - 13reps

    Standing Cable Single Leg Curl - 3sets x30,25,25 varying rep tempos

    Adductor machine - 3sets w/ a whole bunch of reps

    SLDL w/DB's - 65lbs - 12reps 80lbs - 12reps 95lbs - 10reps 105lbs - 8reps - taking the descent very slow and controlled with DB's as close to my body as possible, really aiming for feeling that deep stretch in the hams

    Finished up with 15min of liss on the tread and that was that! Off from the gym tomorrow with a strength day for Chest lined up for Thursday. Not sure if I'm going to go with a 5x5 workout or a Rest Pause DC type compound only movement to begin with.

    DB presses are AWESOME. I love doing them more than BB, especially on incline press. Also those are good curling numbers bud

    Charged up and ready to roll for todays workout. Crushed a chest session not to long ago and still feeling nice and pumped! Flooded the muscle with tons of carbs and after I write this up...back to wrapping some presents!
    No morning cardio and today was a DC type strength day for Chest.

    Warmed up as usual with my everyday shoulder movements, then rolled into some dynamic and ballistic stretching to really warm the muscle up nicely. I always spend a decent amount of time stretching, but when it comes to a day where I'll be handling heavier than normal loads, I definitely spend more time than normal.

    Smith Decline BB - all warmup sets leading up to 1 workset
    135lbs - 12reps 185lbs - 9reps 225lbs - 6repsx3 - at this point my chest had a pretty good pump and everything felt nice and loosened up
    345lbs - 5reps RP 4reps RP 3reps

    After giving everything I had into that final set, I was fried and didn't have much left in the tank, but the show must go on

    Low Incline DB - all done with a pause press style - 70lbs - 9reps 85lbs - 8reps 95lbs - 8reps w/a little spot at the end and stopped short of failure

    Weighted Machine Dips - 170lbs - 13reps 230lbs - 9reps 270lbs - 7reps stopped short of failure

    Flat DB Fly - 55lbs - 8reps 65lbs - 7reps 75lbs - 5reps finishing on the neg

    DB Pullover - 75lbs - 8reps taking it slow and deep to stretch everything out 105lbs - 6reps

    Finished up with 15min of Liss on the tread and we now have another Chest session in the books!

    Added 200cals to the diet yesterday and am going to keep a close eye on things. Going to keep the diet/gains at this pace and fine tune as needed as I keep moving upwards!

    Happy Holidays to everyone from the East Coast!
