Sure you'll get it back in no time
Thanks Ed!
Chris just to put things in perspective. I was about where you are at your age with family responsibilities and stuff happening getting in your way. You love training but sometimes life happens. Things will clear up and more and more you time will be your own and then you will be able to follow your dreams. You have responsibilities now first things first, you just do the best you can. I know sometimes it just get to you. As far as the injuries are concerned your new training method will take care of those. You have the mass now it's all about shaping. That in appearance can add one hell of a lot of size without actually going up too much in weight. I know you know all this ... just reminding you or backing you up or whatever.
Agreed completely, at this point I realize I do not have time in my life to try to be an avid bodybuilder. So I will just sculpt what I can and enjoy life as much as possible while remaining in an area I am comfortable with my physique. I am loving learning this new info from MI40 X2 right now and have been working on some other things. I plan on getting nutrition based certification very soon. I will more than likely be getting a PT Cert as well and stop giving what I know away for free all the time. Don't get me wrong I will still give it out but will be gearing up for some way to make money with this since it is my passion. Hey DW, I just realized not sure how things are up there but here if you work for yourself or are a sub-contractor you can write off anything that has to do with your business. You could buy the programs and write them off as business expenses.
Okay so last night was my first MI40 X2 routine and let me tell you it took me to the woodshed and whipped my ass! The weights I was able to use on it were dismal if I were an egocentric lifter. However right now simply focusing on the contractions and muscle tension instead of weight. I ended up failing at several points in the training with weights that I never thought that would be possible. Also I was sweating profusely, not sure if this is a direct result of the DERMASTR3NGTH like others have mentioned or the fact my rest periods were 40 seconds and I also did a Triple Set and a superset in there so rest was truly minimal. Of course the short rest periods had a lot to do with my failing with much lower weights.
This morning my chest shoulders and biceps feel almost unstable in the exhaustion from yesterday. I can tell I am going to be feeling the DOMS by tomorrow morning if not pretty good by tonight.
Got home last night and took 2 caps OSTAR1NE, 1 EP1C, & SCOOP OF CONQU3R did a few things around the house real fast then went off to the gym with a lot of energy and focus. At one point last night my chest was so pumped when I tried to pop my pecs they didn't even visibly move... impressive considering I had only had about 25g of carbs all day up until that point and I have been depleted since i started my cleanse. My total carbs on the diet as written are 123 a day. So can't expect to fill up. However Sunday I get to add an extra 250g carbs to the mix.
Chest Biceps Front Delts Tempo 4-0-1-0, 40 second rest periods
Flat bench shoulder width grip 4x10 - failed on 3rd and 4rth sets even after dropping weight.
Flat Bench grip 4 inches past shoulders 4x10 ended up being 4xfailure as i didn't meet prescribed reps on a few of them.
Triple Set x3 rotations. 40 seconds rest between rotations.
Cable Cross Overs x12 - failed last set
Push Ups x8 - by the final rotation i only got 2 push ups... LMAO!!!
Cable front raise facing away from machine x10 - These are beast mode! failed last set
Super Set x4 rotations 40 seconds rest between rotations.
Prone Barbell Front Raise - man these really crushed the front delts at the top as to where the cable crushed them at the bottom of the movement.
Prone Incline Spider Curl - got a massively good contraction on these!
So there you have it my first real workout in the books and was a mofo!
