[y0lked]

Jeez I took 3 days off to party and have some social time after my recent break up. Was on point for a week solid and got up to 180. T
Just weighed myself.... 172. Never again.

I'm putting myself first from now on. I don't care who wants to do what, I'm doing what I love. I looked in the mirror today during legs and was disappointed and felt stupid for doing something I didn't want to do due to social norms compared to doing what I absolutely love.

From now on its lifting and eating and school. Time to get my priorities straight.

Leg workout today:

I have admitted to myself that my legs are by far my lagging body part. Aside from squatting 275 for reps and deadlifting 400 my legs are embarrassing. Today I dropped all my weight. Starting as a beginner. My hips are not flexible anymore. My quads have no mmc. Time to work up from ground zero.

Stretching 15 minutes
Jefferson squats (Kai Greene squats): bar 5 sets per leg
Front squats: bar x 12, 4 sets
Walkng lunges with static lunge: bar x 5 strides per leg, 3 sets
Hack squats: 3 x 12, 20lbs
Leg press: 2 plates x 12 reps, 3 sets
Leg extensions: 3 x 12, 60, 75, 80
Standing leg curls: 4 x 12, 30 lbs
Smith machine standing calf raises:
135 x 15, 185 x 15, 225 x 12, 275 x 12
Seated calf raises:
105lbs, 8 reps pointed in, 8 reps pointed out, 3 sets

As you can see I focused on form, flexibility, mmc and leg endurance. All of which I was terrible at being an X strength lifter. Got 3 compliments from people saying how they were watching my intense leg workout.

Diet:
2 scoops syntha 6, 100g oats
8oz steak and rice
3 chicken legs and 1/2 box pasta
2 turkey burgers on wheat buns

[y0lked]

Wow so pretty much everything needs work. Glad I'm working my way from nothing instead of trying to force myself into the same ole bad habits.

Diet has been great today but didn't sleep last night (no idea why). Going to get a sleeping pill my mom recommended after I leave the gym. This was the 4th workout in a row. Going to take Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday off for my physics test. Then back at it Friday.

Still eating big! Can tell I'm over maintenance cause I have a little bloat and fat coming along perfect! Abs, legs, shoulders and tris all have doms like nothing else. This week of heavy really set me off! Last heavy workout is chest on Friday then to high burn reps. Sets of 20 for a week then 8-10 hypertrophy.

Will weigh on Friday. Hopefully 180+. 190 in the next 3 weeks?? Let's get it

[y0lked]

Off day-

Much needed. Going hard 4 days in a row is productive but we all know you grow when you rest. Gonna shoot for about 10 hours of sleep tonight (10 pm to 8 am).

Diet:

2 scoops syntha 6, 100g cinnamon oats
2 chicken quarters and 1 1/2 cup prepared rice
2 chicken breasts and rice

I'm gonna go get some walnuts, more olive oil, steaks and a variety of carbs (potatoes and pastas) etc

Have a productive Tuesday

Does anyone know if you can lift hard while taking penicillin?

[Randoja]

Does anyone know if you can lift hard while taking penicillin?

I don't see why not, unless the penicillin is for some sort of infection that you wouldn't want to exacerbate, like respiratory.

Yea that's what I was thinking. It's just for early stages of strep. since I just recently had it I guess it came back and I got on meds earlier rather than waiting. I think I'll go fourth with a heavy bench workout. If I start feeling like **** I'll cut it short.

Thanks man

[Randoja]

No problem. Just take it easy if it starts to get worse.

[y0lked]

I swear every time I get close to 180 SOMETHING happens to me. This is the 2nd time In the last 3 months getting strep the week I hit 180. And the 4th time ever hitting 180 and an external force making me drop weight.

Ohh well. I feel good even tho I'm slightly sick. Got chicken n steak on the menu next few days. It's gonna be eggs rice and Greek yogurt tonight.

Time to relax and get better. I have all day tomorrow to sleep in, cook and eat. C'MON M-STAK! Lol

[Inarius]

why do you want to pre exhaust before a heavy compound movement?

[y0lked]

why do you want to pre exhaust before a heavy compound movement?

its for undulated training. basically there are 3 week cycles.

heavy- all week no sets higher than 6 reps. including forced reps and negatives. all compounds.
exhaust- high volume, every set no less than 12 reps.
mid range- compounds and some isolation in the 8-10 range, leaving one solid rep in the tank focusing on MMC with compound movements


this week was exhaust training so the goal is to break down the muscle as hard as possible. no better way than taxing it hard with a direct isolation and then forcing the muscle to work in a compound movement.

Get me in on this. Just get big through summer and not care - I'm all about it. I know youre in Cali but in the metropolitan NE people could care less if you have abs but 20" arms and tree trunk legs are always en vogue.

why do you want to pre exhaust before a heavy compound movement?

Better stimulation of Type 2 myofibrilar growth. Kind of a Mike Mentzer approach.

Trust me I'm working on the tree trunks! Squatting in 3 different rep ranges will make these bad boys grow like a weed.

You doing undulated right now bro?

I am with you. This pretty much sums up my opinion of ranch and people who use it. The worst are those who put ranch on pizza. Blasphemy.
NSFW language.

[OrganicShadow]

Undulating? You mean like pre fatigue? No, my rep range is pretty stable in a contest prep style. Only with biceps on certain days do I bust a few high rep sets before going in hard. Off season its how I train my legs as well but on an alternating week two day split.Penicillin should not have any effect on your workout except improving you physical capability by bringing you back to optimal health. Looking to see how you fare with M-Stak. Good stuff, I cant do the red pill though.

no just undulating bodybuilding in general but i guess you powerlift. M-stak is alright, i think its more of a cutting stak than a bulking stak. I like it, its not amazing. But its nice boost every once in a while. Im pretty imune to the red pill now. I LOVE the red pill, and sometimes just buy m-stak just for it! But sometimes it doesnt do much for me.... i have a high caffeine tolerance.

[y0lked]

2.5 cups whole milk and 3 tbs peanut butter and its time to let the natty hgh set in

Need to take Sundays off from now on to cook for the week. Didn't get my breakfast made for tomorrow.
