I'm staying pretty clean, although I do have a package of Oreos on my bedside table and 2 pints of ice cream in my freezer. I don't have junk every day though. My diet is mainly made up of eggs, bagels, whole milk, chicken, beef, rice, pasta, and sweet potatoes.

Oh yeah, my triceps are useless right now, as is my chest!

Whatchu mean bro?
But yeah 220, really happy to see the scale on the rise again. Gotta love those cycles where you're getting heavier, and stronger, but losing fat and tightening up all at the same time.

In other news, took it easy on legs today, while still trying to pump some blood and get some work done. Everything has been hurting the past few days so I don't wanna push too hard and procure an injury.

Thank goodness for off days....
Taking this time to work a 10 hour shift I've had about 4 hours of sleep, my girlfriend dragged me to a bar last night (only had one drink). That said, I feel like absolute crap. Zero appetite. Brain won't work, even with Lean EFX and sipping on Aggro right now.
I can't believe I got a hangover from one measly drink. It's gotta be because I hardly got any sleep on top of it.
Might have to get some nice greasy fast food for lunch even though I brought chicken, sweet potato, and Greek yogurt lol. I don't even want my protein shake.

Yeah it's awful. The caffeine is starting to help though. I probably won't drink again until spring break in March. I think I'm going to go skiing in Colorado with my girlfriend and poke some smot

Dat der celltech? I have avoided it so far because the instant gainz are too noticeable :/
 
Forgot my preworkout at home when I left for campus... I'll just have to rely on the trest, epi, and relationship problems. Lol.
I'm still going to try to rep some 135lb Dumbbells

All the way to 150 actually! It's my goal for this cycle to bang out the 150s for at least 5 reps. I'm also going to try squatting 405 tomorrow. Finally getting to them big boy weights :)
And oh yes. I'm going HAM on pendlay rows right now, beat my numbers by last week already. Who needs preworkout?

There's gyms that don't have 150's???? I have 200's at mine. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

You definitely are. I've only been to one gym in my life that's had up to 200s.

Most I have seen is 120's at a big box gym, and 140's at a more "hardcore" gym. Buddy of mine moved from the big box to the other for the extra dumbbells. Spent an extra 40mins travel time! Don't think I would ever do that!
 
I go to LA Fitness and it goes up to 125's. Went back to Phoenix for Christmas and went to the LAF there...only went to 100's :261:

Yikes... I wouldn't either. Fortunately my university gym has up to 150s, and the gym I work at does as well.

Thank you sir! I'd like to make my way past 405 in the next few weeks. That'd be a hell of an accomplishment for me lol
 
Break another PR for incline DB bench today? I think that sounds like a wonderful idea.
 
Had 1800 cals for breakfast lol. Sweating my ass off in class now.
 
Does anyone think I'd benefit from adding low dose ostarine (like maybe 10mg) in? My knees have been killing me this past week and today they are incredibly stiff. I can't really afford to buy a joint product, and already have plenty of ostarine on hand.

Probably need to spend some time working on MFR on the calves and quads. I'd also remove leg extensions for awhile as they're far from knee friendly.

True, probably a good idea. I'll looking into MFR methods for those muscles and yeah probably take a break from the leg extensions. I'll probably substitute with lunges.

Still weighing 221 post workout. Must. Eat. More.
I'm thinking about making next week a deload week, when everything starts to hurt I think my body is trying to tell me something.
 
You're putting up very solid numbers, sir. Keep up the good work. I like doing the leaned back lat pull/row as well. Feel like it's a good accessory movement for bench.

And I'd have to agree with Rodja bro. Leg exts always make my knee a little fukcey. And hack squats do too.

Not sure it would be noticeably effective with all the other goodies taking up residence in your body, but it would certainly be interesting to see if you do notice a difference. I don't see it being harmful to try.

The other guys made some good points re. training, perhaps take that into consideration & save some $$ for something like Joyful Joints.
 
Oh, and if you can get your hands on some magnesium based cream/oil for a good price try massaging that into the connective tissues around your knees of a night time. works wonders at loosening up stiff muscles etc while sleeping & the massaging will help move out any lactic & cellular waste buildup that may be contributing to the stiffness.

Lol! That sounds dangerous. I've had a pizza in my freezer for almost a week now, not sure how I haven't eaten that yet...
 
Got my BP and heart rate measured in class today.. Avg BP was 120/80, heart rate was 96, but I was partnered up with a pretty girl and they make me nervous so that makes sense ;)
