Yea buddy, I used to lift like 5-7 days a week.. Could never grow, pissed me off lol.... 2 on 1 off has worked best for me.. Even 1 on 1 off, if I'm hitting the weights Heavy..

I'm switching to 3 on 1 off now, just because Im looking to shape up a bit..

I train everyday to take out agression lol..I would take rest days if I could lol
 
Horrible day today..

Deadlifts x 2 sets
Barbell Rows x 1 sets
NG Pull-ups x 3 sets
Wide Grip Pulldowns x 3 sets
H.S Pulldowns 1 Arm x 3 sets
Cable Row x 3 sets
Reverse Flys x 1 set
Concentration Curls x 5 sets

Today really pissed me off.. I had bubble guts before the gym, but I said F that, I'm getting it in..
Did a couple warm up sets of Deadlifts and got to 315 x 5 and got a shooting pain up my neck for some reason and said F that.. Also felt like I was gunna **** myself lol

On to BB Rows, was going to try the Pendlay Rows, but my wrist just didn't wanna cooperate.. Even at 135lb warmup, it just felt awkward so I moved on..

Kept moving and then the Back Pumps hit me hard as hell, I just said F it.. I still got a decent pump but I really wanted to get my Deads and BB Rows in.. I'm going to hydrate up, drop this AI all together and hit the Taurine up hard.. Tommorow is shoulders, but I'm going to start with Deads and BB Rows... These machines are nice, but there honestly not doing anything for my strength, I'm way stronger when I stick to using only iron, so that's what I'm going back to..

End of crying rant.....

I do also want to send my prayers out to Snags and his family.. He helped me out more than a few times with advice and just encouragement and I know he has helped more people than I can count on this forum and in person.. The holidays are hard enough, especially when dealing with the loss of a loved on.. Even though this is just an online forum, i know that the talk and advice given adds to the quality of life for all of us in the gym and outside of it.. RIP Snags..

I am looking bigger though, even the wife said it.. Just want my strength back I had on my Dmz run lol I felt like a savage on that..

Run the DMZ with the Test and get your strength back then damnit!! lol
I think I need to pick up some Super Cissus to use on my run. I remember the DMZ gave me some sore joints, really dried me out. But, I didn't lose much strength when I came off.

I do have some SD laying around, that would work!! What killed me was taking all of October off to handle personal business ya know.. Killed me!! I'm hoping the D1M will be decent in the strength dept..

I always have Cissus laying around, I always forget to take it, powder form is nasty.. But maybe it will help my wrist and elbow a bit.. Idk why there stiff.. Other than the Back Pumps, I'm usually gtg for cycles..
 
Invalid Link Removed

Daily Dose!!

Already got my Deadlifts & BB Rows done today at home.. Made up for yesterdays failure lol

Shoulders, Traps, & light Bi"s & Tri"s later at the gym.. I'll post all of both sessions at once..
 
Dma378 said:
Hellzz Yeah!! What kind of equipment you have at home?
Click to expand...

Power Rack... So I can get Squats in etc
A couple pull-ups bars, e-z curl bar, DB"s, dip bars, bench, Bicep blaster, maybe 400lbs of Olympic weight and 200lbs of standard..

Elliptical an Treadmill..

Pretty much everything I could ever need except it's in the garage, so that sucks... Looking to buy a nice heater.. Punching Bag will be coming Black Friday lol
 
Sounds about like what I have at home. Except I got 600lbs Olympic weights and db's to 80. No elliptical but swap that for a recumbent bike. Mines on the back porch, no garage. Comes in handy. I usually do my front squats and deadlifts here at the house and everything else at the gym. If I do 2 a days then the evening session is done here at home.

Lol - the infamous pb and egg sandwich!!

Also feels like I need to crack my Chest but know matter how much I stretch it, it still won't pop.. Happened to me like a month ago and sucked for like 3-4 days until I got it to pop..
Click to expand...

I got mine to pop by tossing my shoulders and head back at the same time almost like an explosive attempt at a back bend. Dips tend to bring it on for me. I got hit real hard in the sternum when I was younger and it messed it up good and that is where my issue came from. Sometimes feels like the ribs are out of socket in my sternum until it pops back in.

Honestly if pumps are a massive issue for you then stop doing bent over rows and stick to supported while on cycle. Also do deads at the end of the workout so they don't ruin the rest of your workout and do them with lower reps.

Nice set ups these sound similar to my garage gym. I am in between on the olympic weights, I have a hex bar for dead squats and trap work and a power rack. I wish I had DB's up to 80 or more standard weight for my DB's but I will get them gradually.
 
I got my Db's off craigslist. 300lbs of 1950's York Olympic weights and a set of 50, 60, 70, 80 db's all for $100! I'd been an idiot to pass up that deal. Wish they'd had the old 1950's rack and bench...

Nice!! I like splitting my sessions sometimes, it's really nice to be able to do things at home when needed.. I gotta grab some more weight though, I only had 300lbs of Olympic an grabbed 2 more 45lb plates but it's expensive now.. It's like $1 per lb..

I knew I wasn't alone with the Chest cracking / popping.. It feels amazing when it pops, it never did this time around though..

Back Pumps = Suck
 
Do you get tight in the middle of your back too? I did my Chiro adjusted me pretty good and got it adjusted more and my chest seemed to loosen up. Said the knots locking my back up were causing some of the tightness in my sternum.

Sometimes yes actually, it's funny you say that because sometimes it feels like the issue is coming through my back an into my chest, if that makes sense..

I got my Rack, 300lb York Olympic Weight and BB, Tree stand, adjustable bench an some floor padding for $400 off Craigslist..

Great deal, it was brand new ( 6 months old ) He showed me the receipts actually, $1100 from some place in the city.. Only bad thing was is he was a college kid who lived on the 3rd floor of his building with no elevator lol

Sweet deal!! I need a new rack and a new bench. The rack is an ole cheap Weider one I bought 25 years ago and the bench foam and covering is shot. But, it's for use so right now it doesn't matter what it looks like...plus I'm a cheapass lol!! If I ever buy a new one I'll put it in one of the bedrooms hahaha.

Definitely a dry ass compound, I can feel it in my joints.. Strength is slowly climbing back up to where I was about 6-8 weeks ago.. Endurance isn't quite back yet though but it's getting there.. I'm actually dragging myself to the gym, kind of lazy, feel pretty weak even though the numbers aren't bad and climbing..

Thinking things may start picking up in the next week or so.. I said I didn't wanna set PR"s, but I was lying, **** shape lol I'm just aiming for growth!
 
I don't think I'll ever go on long stretches where I don't train for strength again. Lost too much, too fast. Maybe a few workouts here and there or for a week or so of higher volume. Feels too good to load up the weights. My body might tell me later in life to back off, but not yet.

Good numbers by the way. Strong bench bro.

Yea bro, that time off really killed me..

Thanks Bro,
My Bench always goes back up fast after breaks..
But Deads & Squats take me quite a bit longer, I'm going to try and focus on these a bit as long as I can tame these back pumps.. But I've been noticing I get an upset stomach if I dose my Taurine above 5g, which sucks because 5g doesn't do ****.. The only way the back pumps go away is with like 2G of water a day, but then I'm constantly pissing and bloated lol
