AMS made my fu*king day: half-sponsored log :)

Strength: Lower Body
  • Back Squat - 321 Wave Loading, 2 Waves, ended up with 385x1 on my second wave.. Got it too easy, but for safety's sake, didn't attempt another wave.
  • Standing Calves - 3x10-15 @ 80 | 221
Doesn't look like a lot, but wave loading is just fukcing grueling as far as my CNS is concerned. Plus, back squat is going to hit most all of my lower-body muscle groups. Overall, workout took about 40 minutes.

Weight:
  • 184 pounds as of this morning! Started at 168 :D

Wtf is wave loading?
Click to expand...
Oh yeah!!

Wave loading.. is badass to the max. It is an absolutely phenomenal (in my experience) method for increasing strength. Basically, you start with 3 reps at a weight you can only complete 3 times, increase weight and do 2 reps, increase weight and do 1 rep. Now, you go back to 3 reps, but you use the weight that you did previously for 2 reps.. then go to 2 reps with what you did for 1 rep last time, then increase weight and do 1 rep. The goal is to complete 2 waves, but not more than 4. Basically, it's a way of priming your CNS so you can lift progressively heavier loads for the same number of reps.. Like I said before, it is GREAT for gaining maximal strength.

hmm sounds interesting... so for example

if i could bench 255 3 times it would be like

255 x 3, 260 x 2, 265 x 1
260 x 3, 265 x 2, 270 x 1

and increase for up to 4 waves? Do you do the reps like a superset, one after one for each wave so 321 rest 321 rest. Or so you do 3 rest 2 rest 1 rest and then the next wave

You've got the idea man. You rest between each set, so, 3 rest, 2 rest, 1 rest, 3 rest, 2 rest, 1 rest.. Rest periods go from 2-5 minutes to ensure that you can lift maximal weight.
 
Saw a girl the other day that I hadn't seen in awhile.. It was a great experience for me.. haha.. She told me at least 5 times how jacked I looked.. the tone of her voice, the look on her face, priceless.. She was pretty damn impressed, to say the least..

and so my self esteem is doing pretty good :D

Just scrolled back a bit. You look pretty freakin yoked here man. Nice development in your chest - particularly with the separation... Leaned out nicely - particularly in lower abdomen...

You've put on 20 pounds with 2800 calories a day? That's amazing man.

It really ain't that bad man.. Once you get into it, it's second nature. Plus, it forces you to come up with some sweet-ass healthy recipes, which is awesome, and delicious.

Honestly, I can't see much difference.. But dammit, those 10+ pounds had to have gone somewhere!

  • DB Bench - 3x8 @ 80, 75, 75 | 401
  • DB Incline Flyes - 3x8 @ 30s | 403
  • Seated BB Shoulder Press - 3x8 @ 85, 75, 65 | 402

Sooo apparently this is what's up..

Pinched nerve in my right shoulder/upper-arm somewhere.. and some sort of muscle strain/cramp in my neck all the way down to my abdomen directly below my left pec; super sharp and annoying pain when I breathe in..

Both of them hurt, the left side more so that the nerve problem on the right side.. I'm assuming this is due to the recent muscle I've put on. I took the day off from the gym to try and get a bit of rest. Things are feeling better tonight, hopefully they stay that way.
 
Lower Body Hypertrophy:
  • Hack Squat - 3x8 @ 2 plates each side | 402
  • Seated Leg Press - 3x8 @ 310 | 402
  • Good Mornings - 3x8 @ 135 | 402
  • Seated Calves - 3x10-20 @ 2 plates

Great workout. Productive, increasing weights, etc... All good things. Feeling much better today as well.. yeah :D
 
PS Mofos.. I've got about 4-6 weeks left.. This test prop is lasting a lot longer than I expected.. So, I'm going to be sitting pretty on some test for the next month or so.. and then finish out the cycle with a 3 weeker of a Superdrol clone, probably Genera Supps S-Roid.
 
Hypertrophy - Back/Biceps/Rear Delts
  • BB Curls - 3x8 @ 70, 70, 60 | 502
  • Lat Pulldowns - 3x8 @ 125, 112.5, 112.5 | 401
  • Various Bicep Isolation Movements - fun :D
  • Cable Rows - 3x8 @ 60 | 402
  • Face Pulls - 3x8 @ 70 | 402
I was feeling - and looking, I think - pretty dang pumped. Noticed quite a few looks from various females.. that was interesting.

Anyway, this has got me down... as I stated above.. shiiiiit.

Something like 1% of guys that have it will develop genital warts.. Chances are obviously pretty damn slim. The deal with girlies is that it can lead to abnormal ovarian cell growth, can become cancerous, but if it's monitored regularly for any malignancy, serious issues can usually be avoided.

If i am correct it is only certain types that cause the warts correct? If so you need to find out which kind you have. i have also heard that alot of them your body just gets rid of. I think i read somewhere that like 70% of adults get it at some point in there life and your body just fights it and destroys it.
 
Had quite the interesting night tonight.. I still have yet to get to sleep, haha. It was great though, on so many levels. Had a make-shift cheat meal too..

1 Pita Wrap w/ grilled chicken and veggies, and ranch
1 Hoagie w/ roast beef and muenster cheese
1/2 cup steel cut oats, 2 scoops protein, milk, stirred, w/ peanut butter :D

My cheat meals are not so glamorous.. haha, oh well.
