5/3/1, Half Marathons, PHAT, etc etc. - Beast Mode

Beast Mode/Creature or the AX non-stim I got the other day. There's a new pre I want to try but its hard to stray from Beast Mode. I also use Predator too. Our pre's stack up to any of the competition. The energy is exactly what I need and the pumps aren't too much that they hold you back. Just the right amount :D



Preciate it man! My back is growing like a freaking weed, I'll post some pics l8r

Sounds good! Man... bulking I take it? nice
 
Also I see your do a lot of back work but not upper back/trap work. Ill suggest you add some pull-aparts, face pulls, scarcrows, db cleans to your workouts and see how your squat/presses feel.
 
still alive :o

been training hard as h3ll but busy with school and work, finals are done this week so I'll be back to posting a lot more soon

Switched back to 5/3/1 and doing a bodybuilding template from Jim Wendler's blog site. Also adding in my own stuff to up the volume. Recent notable lifts have been bench 210 x 10, squat 285 x 10, dead 345 x 6 (grip is the weak point here, lack of chalk), and today's military press 140 x 11

today's workout was sick

The pump.......oh the freaking pump. It was painful. Absolutely destroyed my max set, felt incredible :D

not much weight, slow and controlled...I'm experimenting with this one since its a movement that puts the shoulder in a compromising position but it feels great. Any thoughts on this lift????


115 x 10, 10, 8
95 x fail (super slow reps)


3 sets of cable upright rows (130 x 12) supersetted with tricep cable pressdowns (130 x 15)​
 
Welcome back, lol.

So is the last workout you posted according to the 5/3/1 BB template you're talking about or is that from a previous template? And as matt said, that was a nice military press set.

Btw, I remember you saying to link you to our logs if we had one. Here's mine if you're interested: http://anabolicminds.com/forum/workout-logs/174583-toros-quest-strength-7.html It's a little bland but pretty detailed descriptions of my workouts. Some day I hope to include videos every now and then, but until then ... lol

Thanks....I think its paying off nicely, I've put on some good muscle and strength in the last couple of months

Strength was down a little but I focused on making sure every rep was below parallel, which slowed down the reps a little and made it more difficult. Overall pleased with the lifts though. Especially the leg press, these are up a couple of reps each set from last week.

ROFL

This asian could be a guy at my gym. I see retards like this all the time, although this particular case is made funnier by how the bar isn't even centered AND he's slightly rotated clockwise at the top. Oh man...

I hear you on this. It's a tough thing, but it pays off!

I was hungry as h3ll yesterday, must have been the combination of a great lifting session and that 15 minutes of cardio (lol). This year's cut is going to be cake. 2-3 days of cardio to start off and I'll be dropping weight quick probably

Erase, no need cardio, you got leaner haha

wish it was that easy :p

SweetLou321 said:
You need more hamstring/post chain work for that squat big man.

Really? I stole that template from Wendler's blog. The leg press is pretty neutral and then 4 sets each of quads and hams.

What would you have done differently, compared with what I got there?

You have no reverse hypers, goodmornings, rdls, hypers, or GHRs. I would do Squat, goodmorning, leg press, ab work, and if you dont do leg work on deadlift day id do. Squat, goodmorning, leg press, leg curls/GHRs, abs workout.
 
Have you heard about the "boring but big" 3 months challenge by Jim Wendler ?
I'll begin it in 1.5 when my cycle will be over. Running it with erase pro, and then anabeta + triazole.
