TGR's Cheetos Chraining

Good Lord, this weekend has me wiped out. I could definitely use a little extra sleep.

Oh well, it's time to crush legs. I haven't looked at today's routine yet but I think squats are involved. I hope, anyways.

I wish my gym was open right now. I don't think my calves would appreciate it tho. :/
 
I'll post my workout later, but had t share this because it's so good.

Egg + jalapeños + 1tsp jalapeño juice. Simple and yummy!
 
Yum! Your coworkers are going to love you!
 
Oooh, new layout on Jefit. I like it.

Morning weight: ???
Maybe tomorrow. Probably close to 193-195

I pre packaged all my PWO's this week. Going to be 3/4s Stimul8, 800mg Agmatine, 2.5g creatine, 4g fiber (20 cals?) ... I think that's it

Weight Lifted : 37835 lbs Actual

Number of Exercises : 5

Lying Leg Curls
183.33
2-3WU, 3x10(+10 partials after the tenth rep).

Set 1 : 50x10
Set 2 : 80x10
Set 3 : 110x20
Set 4 : 95x20
Set 5 : 80x20

Barbell Squat
373.67
Pyramid up in sets of 8 until you hit a tough 10. Do that x10, increase weight x8, increase x6. Don't go below parallel.

Set 1 : 135x8
Set 2 : 225x8
Set 3 : 275x10
Set 4 : 295x8
Set 5 : 315x5

Holy crap. Pre-exhausting my hams make these heavier than hell.

Now that I look back I wish I had tried for that sixth rep. I have a bad habit of not allowing myself to fail on squats. That's what the damn safety bar is for.

Leg Press
658.67
2-3WU, 3x8. Beat last weeks numbers. Set , set 2 + blue (25), set 3 + both.


Set 1 : 270x5
Set 2 : 360x5
Set 3 : 500x8 1+ red band (15)
Set 4 : 500x9 + blue (25)
Set 5 : 520x8 + both (40)

These felt really good. I probably could've done either more weight or more reps. Was scared because I had already done so much and the leg press really doesn't have a safety catch.

Note: I need more bands. Might pick some up today now that I found out how to attach them to the leg press.

Dumbbell Lunges
133.33
2x10, one leg at a time.

Set 1 : 100x10 (2 50# DBs)
Set 2 : 50x10 (2 25# plates)

Yeah man. These were a hard as hell.

Dumbbell Stiff-Legged Deadlift
192
2x20, slight bend in the knee.

Set 1 : 120x18
Set 2 : 100x18

So much ouch here too.

Notes:
The short rests got to me on those last two exercises. The last time I did this routine I did it on a Saturday and took longer rests I think. Maybe 90s?

Great WO overall, started to get a good sweat going.
 
Legs fried! You will laugh at my volume as today was leg day for me as well.

Never used Jefit...

For a guy that woke up needing more sleep, you certainly killed it.

The pre-exhaustion techniques used by Meadows just make it all that much better doesn't it.

Good work my man!

I moved up to Clarksville, TN from ages 20-24. Met some good people there.

Thanks Wasme! I think doing some curls gets the muscle flowing and helps get me warmed up for squats, tbh.

Thank you! School was bothering me but I'm good now. Gonna hit the gym even tho my legs are dead. :D
 
Calories will end at 2,017 with 249p/108c/51f.

I saved a glass of milk for right before bed. :)

Legs felt shaky all day. I can't remember the last time they felt like this the day of the leg WO. Glutes, hams, and quads are all tight. I LOVE it!
 
Yesterday while at work I found a warehouse that refurbishes, buys/sells new/used gym equipment. He said his power racks start at around 1,000, but are very durable and hold a large amount of weight. Gonna start price shopping to see if that's a good deal.

He let me walk through though and has so much equipment. I wonder if I could work out a deal on some of it. I know some of those machines are out dated and probably only worth their weight in steel.

He also sells iron plates for .50¢/lb. I think the going rate is $1?? So that would be a good deal.

If I just had a power rack to do some lifts on days I can't make it to the gym, I'd be happy.
 
...and I've got to start decreasing my evening water. I'm tired of waking up every hour to go to the bathroom (usually until 0100, then I'm good till 0330). That said, I can tell taking the niacin and magnesium before bed dehydrates me a little. Gotta find a remedy...
 
IMHO, the olympic plates at 50 cents a pound is high. If they are old York plates the going rate is $1 per pound. If he has a warehouse full then it's not selling and you should work on a deal. Any specific manufacturer? Check Craig's list for comparable prices.

Thanks Mark, I did not know that. The machines are brands I see in the gym often, a lot of Cybex and Hammer Strength. I don't remember what the plates were though.

I don't monitor Craigslist as much as I should, but I've never seen anything good local. When I get serious about making these purchases I'll do more research.

Don't know that weak is a good label. Still rebounding maybe. But solid lifting regardless.

Thanks brother. Sometimes it's easy to beat ourselves up when we aren't where we think we should be.

I think 1,000 is really high. You could get a rack that can hold 1000lbs for 400-500 here.. so I am sure in the USA it would be the same, if not cheaper.For Canada, .50 per pound is a good price.That was a solid workout too Thomas!

Sounds tasty! I think you said the other day you were having catfish? (i bought some basa which I have come to find is from the catfish family) How do you prepare it?

I always bake in pan or grill over tin foil. In the past I'd use butter, but the catfish I cooked for this week I sprayed the pan with Pam, put blackened seasoning, pepper, and lemon on the fish and baked at 350° until it was done. It tastes really good. Gonna have some more tonight.

Total noob with prepping fish (usually eat tuna lol or sushimi).

How long do you cook it for?

I cook all my meats and veggies at the same time so I don't use any timers. I eyeball it, and as soon as the fish looks white where there's no pinkness left it's good.

Ok thanks.. I know if over cooked it is not so great.

...I have some nice pork tenderloins for the bbq tonight ... looking forward to that!

Yum. I'm a huge fan of pork too.
 
Best 'guess' is my calories are between 2400-2700 (worst case if they used butter and crap). My proteins should be >250g also.

Is there a particular style rack/cage your looking for or the first one u find at a good deal??
Click to expand...

A good deal, and something that will hold some weight. It doesn't necessarily have to be able to add on other things. I'd love to be able to go in the garage on a Saturday afternoon and take my time lifting as heavy as possible.

I think I looked through that sight and found a decent one, but was a little high at the time ($1200). I emailed it to my work to look at them on my PC. Looking at pictures on my phone doesn't do justice anymore.

Any particular one you were eyeballing?

Yeah. The pro series half cage. But they don't have prices listed. At least not on my iPhone. They look pricey though. Didn't I see u said u work for the city the other day??
