Day 20:
On my way to work. Won't be off until late night. May hit them gym when I get off depending on how I feel.
-I have noticed that my facial hair is showing a shadow and it's been 36 hours since my last shave which was Thursday evening around 7pm. Typically I could go about 3-4 days before needing a shave or having a shadow show. Curious as far as you guys go how fast does your facial hair come in?

AaronJP1 said:Yeah, I wouldn't expect ya too.
I'm like double your bodyfat. Eat a lot though. Never really done a "cut" usually eat over in my cals or stay around a maintenance level. After this M1db, I'll take a serious look @ dropping some bodyfat.
I eat clean for the most part, but I'll have ice cream or some other kind of treat a few times a week...had some with Slinshot last night. A lot of times I need to throw in some crap food just to get enough calories. As long as I'm around my target I don't worry about it. The only "cut" I've ever done was by accident...took me a couple months to figure out my maintenance level almost doubled after I got sick.

Day 21:
Had a pretty decent work out today and numbers I put up were respectable.
Incline bench press:
135lbs x 10
185lbs x 8
205lbs x 6
(This was either 195 or 205, can't remember if I added the 10lbs to it or not.)
145lbs x 6
Flat DumbBell Press:
80lbs x 8
75lbs x 7
70lbs x 4
HS Chest Press:
45lbs each arm, 2 sets of 10. Pause & hold.
Incline: 80lbs each arm 1 set of 5. Pause & hold.
Seated Curl Machine:
65lbs x 10
55lbs x 10
45lbs x 12
Curls:
30lbs x 6, 3 sets.
Hammers:
45lbs x 6
40lbs x 6
35lbs x 6
Everything was using good form & slow and controlled movements. Kept this work out simple and to the point. Biceps I didn't stress cause I tagged em a bit this past week already.
Chest was exhausted on the inclines. I've been heavily focusing on these mass builder movements more so than shaping movements. You gotta have the size to shape first. Swimming test tomorrow possibly. Last thing I have to get done & nervous as hell about it too. 50 yards in under 2 minutes @ 730am for a non-swimmer in an out door pool is a thumbs down.
Got about 7 more days of M1db left.

Yeah, thx. I wasn't playing with the inclines. Had to pull my head out of my ass a bit in the gym and start putting the effort in there as well. One thing I told myself is the muscle doesn't know how much weight your lifting. All it knows is stress.
Yeah last week I was focused on killing that swim, these week I'm nervous as my allergy/sinus infection is still here.

Overall , and with 1 week left , how are you liking M1D black so far? When do you think it kicked in , and is it influencing strength or only recovery?

Great job with the workout brother. Definitely put up some good numbers.
Good luck with the swimming too. Should be a good feeling getting that test out of the way.

Day 23:
So last hour of my born day.
Didn't do too much special, had two nice 5oz pieces of filet migon along side a loaded baked potato and cake & ice cream. After that had a small Hulk shake from Smoothie King.
Sick as ever again looks like this allergy/sinus infection flared up, feel miserable, sneezing a lot along side a scratchy throat and appetite is down a bit. It's gotten bad, so I went to the doc and he gave me some amoxicillen. What a way to celebrate 28 huh.
On top of that probably have to take some swimming lessons which are $155 for 6 lessons, not thrilled about that either.
Went in for legs today, skipped squats due to how I was feeling but this is what got done:
Leg Curls:
95lbs x 12
125lbs x 8
140lbs x 6
110lbs x 7
Leg Press:
10 plates x 10
12 plates x 10
14 plates x 8
-Didn't go for a killer weight on these, but I pushed for more reps @ a decent weight.
Leg ext:
160lbs x 10
170lbs x 10
180lbs x 10
Seated Calf Raise:
80lbs x 10
Then dropped to
45lbs x 15 reps for 3 sets
Then
45lbs x 20 reps for final set.
Not any record breakers, but everything was slow and controlled, with good contractions and time under tension. Nice pump in the legs & had them shaking a bit when walking around. We closing in on final review time for M1DB.
:thumbsup: guys see ya soon.
