the gift only you can give yourself! which makes it awesome

good work man, my chest gets hella veiny when I slim down. I wanna be back to that comp
 
Today was awesome.

woke up
2 caps PX Black

Played some video games

decided to give this carbing up thing a try so I got some cereal with low sugar (like 4 grams per serving) and had a couple bowls worth. Then got 4 pieces of wheat toast and drank like a quart of water and had 2 caps ALC CLA

Went to a nearby boxing gym today bc my mom wanted me to try it. Really good cardio!

then I downed 2 scoops of Supp-D and went to the gym!

didnt take creatrona today but I also didnt have my swoll-n :/

Bench (did what I like to call rollercoasters)
135x16
225x12
275x8
315x3+225x3+135x10
225x12
275x7
245x10
135x12

Making sure I hit at or near my average numbers for each weight no matter how fatigued I was. I like these because the lower weights give me as good as a contraction as the higher ones. Basically using the same force no matter what weight is on the bar, idk nice mental trick that works for ME.

My shoulders were dead from boxing so...

Cable Flyes
5 sets of 50x16 really deep contractions

Cable Pullovers
this felt great, my upper chest was so tense it actually choked me a bit.
4 sets of 115x12

Tricep Extensions
4 sets of 150x16
2 sets of 150+25lb platesx10

Seated French Press
90x16
100x12
115x10

Incline DB palms facing each other
35x20
60x16x16

That was money, I love these. You keep the dumbbells touching and you touch the plate closest to your face right on the collar bone and explode up and the tension is unreal.

Some pics up in a bit my phone is charging

Feeling pretty good about comp. love how my back is staying wide, I was hoping lowering my weight wouldn't decrease my size, glad I'm doing it nice and slow
 
Looking good bro.....nice veins on the shoulders....

Boxing is amazing isn't it...will get you super dry, and is more fun than ordinary cardio.

ya, I used to kick box with my friend when I was at A&M really fun stuff. We would warm up with that every workout.

and for sure 30 minutes pass by without you even realizing it because you are focusing on combo's and bringing your hands back into position. If not you get popped in the head by a pad :P haha
 
Gotta love the vascularity. Thats one thing i love about getting leaner, always discovering new veins.

No but I was pretty nasty on max pump can sort of see it here...

Damn, shredsville!!! And dat forearm vascularity

If you wanna try some Swoll-N to compare or just cuz just let me know!
 
I haven't been lifting these last 2 days.

My allergies are so awful. I have a pounding headache, I run out of breath just walking and and my sinus pressure is unreal. It's to the point were standing up makes my head feel like it's going to explode!

I haven't even left my apartment much in 2 days to be completely honest.

Going to try and go here in a bit and if not first thing in the morning tomorrow. Gotta kill some back!
 
I get allergies too but I am always kind of congested so I'm used to it. ... it gets better when I am active though...

My allergies haven't messed up in years, and this is the worse I've ever had them. Even my face was slightly puffy and my throat felt swollen. Some rain yesterday washed it away though so I'm heading in for some back right now
 
Back!!!!

Today was a focus on form day. Not that I don't everyday but I'm sure we all do this thing where after a while we slowly become comfortable with a routine and don't pay as much attention to the details as when first starting. Sort of going through the motions in a way.

Reverse Bent Overs
135x20
135x18
225x8 + 135x12
135x16

Rack deads (no straps today)
135x8
225x12
315x12
405x6 w/chalk omg I forgot how much I love chalk

Lost my breath and couldn't catch it for a while. Damn throat is still partially closed. Oh well

T bars
1 platex16
2 platesx12x8

Just going for max contraction

Low Row Hammer Strength
1 plate 4 sets of 16
Slight rock forward on the stretch and slight lean backwards on the contraction. Felt amazing

It's pretty easy to sail with that massive wing span on the back :p
 
StephenGarcia said:
Yup yup. Learning as I'm sail along, took me 2.5 years to learn how to bulk, so I can't expect to land my cut perfectly at the first go I guess :)
Click to expand...

Time, patience, trial and error bud. Also every time wont be the same and things will have different effects each and everytime you cut. Im sure you already know that though.

Lol thanks guys, I've been focusing on thickness though. This month is going to be more about width and I can't wait.

Learning slowly haha, my main goal was to come in with an empty mind and actually learn something instead of just going rice cake and tuna mode. Not that there's anything wrong with that but I believe there are equal and superior methods and I'd rather get a jump start on those asap
 
Quick update

Yesterday was my best friends wedding rehearsal/bachelor party/crazy time

Today is the actual wedding so ya that's why I've been mia.

I actually did really good, all I ate yesterday was grilled chicken breast, guacamole, lettuce tomato and cheese. Plus a bite of cake a gatorade and some queso.

I knocked back a bit of the sauce but less than 3 brews worth. What killed me is it's so damn hot, like unreal. Oh well!

Gonna get a haircut and then head over and shoot some ****. Lmao

Funny how one month I'm at a funeral and the next my best friends wedding, life's a doozie.

Be safe everyone

I wanted to try something new. Cuz I was putting some thought into it and I think I've been doing lag pull downs wrong or just poorly. My lats are surprisingly small when it comes to traditional posing so I need to find out what the deal is.

solution = pullups ;)
back needs to be hit from many angles imo, not just focusing on width & depth
pulldowns are useful, but pullups are harder; if you can do pullups, start doing them

When I say I am working on width or thickness I mainly just mean the tracking of my elbows on say bent overs or the accessory movements towards the end. I mainly go for free weights as much as possible for back so I think that accounts for the variable angle dilemma.

I found out I wasn't rolling my shoulders back enough and if I kept a slighter arch in my back I get a way fuller contraction.

I will try pull ups in a couple weeks. I like changing one thing at a time and seeing how that plays out :) im not a guy that changes everything every week that's mind numbing and you don't know what really works
 
2 caps PX
4 caps creatrona
Didn't feel like mixing powder since I was using a Powerade bottle for pre and I didn't want it getting caught in the ridges

ah okay gotchya, working mind-muscle connection (good for you)
free weights FTW - I own no machines, just free/cables/pullup bar built into ceiling
old school, I am :bandit:
 
Holding those contractions is a must with back especially. Good session bud.
