Totally forgot to log the workout.
BW: 295lbs (-4) Waist: 49" (-1)
Behind the neck press - 230 for 3 sets of 4. All of these were PRs.
Push press. 300 for 3 sets of 4. PRs here too.
Paused Bench press - 375 for 5 sets of 3. PR and nearly guillotined myself.
Pushdowns / pec deck - full stack...
Haha yeah, I'm training harder than I have in a long time. Add a decent diet (and follidrone) to it and the gains start to skyrocket.
Quick question: any benefit to taking 4 pills? I accidentally double dosed last Thursday and I felt great.
Great success x 2 and the follidrone train rolls on.
I performed the same experiment from yesterday - only taking carbs (150g) in immediately before and during the workout. PRs all over the place.
Squat - 375 - 5 sets of 2. All PRs
Hack squat - 6 plates - 4,6,8*
Leg curls - up to 205 x 10...
Great success!
I tried something different - taking my carbs in during the workout. It made a huge difference with my performance and mood. Not only were the presses smooth and fast, but I didn't have any pec tendon issues.
Paused Incline bench - 330 - 2 sets of 5
Various ab exercises - 8-10...
Soooooo, clearly I need to change my programming.
"Jamaican stallion" goodmornings - green band + 135 for 3x8
Front squat - my tendon issue is still active - couldn't even squat the bar.
Deadlift - 405 x 6, 8, 2 ... and my mind just refused to go any further.
Hack squat - I worked up to 4...
Yeah thanks. I don't really have much of a choice with the fat loss and plummeting energy levels after from 10,000 calories to around 3,000 - eating that much in real food makes me queasy. I have no idea how bodybuilders do it.
So, the fat loss has kicked in to high gear and my body is starting to hit "the wall". This is a new experience thought because usually my upper body lifts are fine while my lower body lifts go down the crapper.
Follidrone definitely delayed that process and keeps me strong, but it ain't magic...
Notes: Finished my first bottle of follidrone and I'm a huge fan.
- better pumps
- maintained / gained strength (i can't say it's due to smart dieting or programming, haha)
- possible mood enhancing effects ?
- improved work capacity
- I've been sweating my butt off during my workouts
I...
Another weird week:
Wednesday - I misloaded the deadlift bar and ended up pulling a huge volume PR.
----------------------------
Front squat - 305 - 1, 2 ... Tendon strain
Deadlift - 515 for 6 sets of 3
DB Rows / shrugs - 30 sec bike sprints + 30 sec cooldown between sets
160 / 300
135 / 250...
* My upper body workouts are slowly getting better.
* the douchebag bench is paused with my feet up. I've been doing these for a few months and they've helped immensely.
* my waist is getting smaller - haven't measured but my pants and lifting belt are now loose
* follidrone is helping...
My wacky intraworkout concoction - 15g ALCAR, 2 tbsp mct oil, a scoop of whey and 80g Glutamine - utterly destroyed my stomach and made this workout awful...
but as they say in my native Tennessee: "Be a mensch, not a schmendrick".
Squats: all of these were PRs
Beltless 365x4
Belted 365 for 5...
Just weighed in at 303 - I started at 315. Not bad at all considering no cardio.
Hah, I had a long dream about pancakes. Weird because I haven't been going low carb or killing myself with fasted stair running.
Today - another workout I had to cut short. Felt *MUCH* better than last week though and I had a huge pump going for hours afterwards. I can't even remember the last time my pecs were pumped, haha.
Paused incline bench: 330, 4 sets of 4.
High incline bench: 180 x 8, 10, 8
Curls and pushdowns...
Down to 9 doses of my first bottle.
PRs:
Behind the neck press: 240 x 3.
Front squat: 300 x 10, and I can now handle paused squats easily.
This are both huge for me, and they show direct improvement while taking only Follidrone.
Lower body work capacity is improving.
Strength is holding...
I'm not sure if cutting is really the right word for it - I'm going from pure insanity/depression and 5-10,000 calories of junk food, to mental stability... and around 3,000 cals of regular food.
I'm testing out follidrone to see if it helps - 3 weeks in and strength levels are improving...
I'm avoiding counting until my mind is mostly un-f*cked.
Right now: carbs pre-workout. The rest of the day is protein and fat in the form of eggs and meat. On the weekends I get more carbs while eating out.
Based on what I'm eating it looks like
100-160g carbs
200-275g protein
50-100g of...
A mixed bag: I hit two PRs, but was so lightheaded between all sets that I had to sit for a few minutes just to regain composure. I assume this is due to less food intake (?)
Paused front squat: 300 - 1,2,3,4.
Front squat: 300 for 10 reps. PR
Deadlift: 405 for 5 sets of 7. PR
Shrug machine...
