Agreed, and now that I have commited I am dying to see what he has for me. I keep checking notifications to see if he has sent me anything.
I am just dying to see what he has in store. Very curious how lean we will be going before turning it around for the rebound. So many things going through my head but most importantly I am very excited about the idea of putting on 20-40lbs without being a tub o lard. I would assume we will probably go down around 8% but you know what making assumptions does.
Yesterday's Macros were pretty much perfect, then I had a large cookie last night. Luckily I have the macros for it. Not too far over my target but I know things are about to get a lot tighter so I wanted to enjoy myself a little bit before getting the new plan.

=============================================================================
10/25/23 - Morning Weight 203.1 - That cookie, lots of salt, and 321g of carbs helped hold on to some weight. I looked full and tight this morning.
Pull/Shoulders/Biceps - Tempo 4-2-1-1 on Back Movements, Relative Effort 1-0RIR
Mega Mass lat pull down 135*8, 7, 8 - This machine has a pretty good feel for a switch up but I prefer the Arsenal one. This one is lighter in the stretched position and heavier on the bottom which is the opposite of what we want for tension and hypertrophy.
Cable Rows - 110*14, 11, 9 - Some nice sets here, implementing the rocking method via Wycked Training and got some great contractions.
Arsenal standing side raise - 50*14, 12, 11, 10.5@F - Did these with the Wycked Rocking motion and really got the medial delts fired up!!! I feel like I am getting the hang of this method and finding it superior for hitting the target muscles. Mike Van Wyck really understands movement and muscle tension lines.
Cable rear delt pulls - 20*20, 20, 15 - Again the Wycked Method on these, I have never isolated my rear delts so well before. Between these and the rear delt swings the way he suggests, I have 2 amazingly improved exercises for rear delts.
Alternating DB curls 35*9, 7, 6 - Using the Wycked Drop shoulder and scoop method. Blew my biceps out of the water on these.
Biceps, Triceps, Traps and Abs later today, really enjoying how things are going.
I may take a few liberties this weekend if he doesn't have me locked down. Just get one last really good meal that I don't care what the macros or calories are.
I got one of the guys up there to take a couple shots of my rear delt while it was pumped. He tried to get fancy with a walk around and didn't get me in a dead on but it ended up giving me a view from alternate angles. I am not flexing my biceps or anything just kind of holding the shot so my rear delt pops. Can you imagine if my medial delts were this developed?

Here is one he took just because he thought my back looked crazy from that angle. I have to agree the width is more impressive in this shot than many others coming up off of that twisted waist.
