Becoming Spartan with Andromax *sponsored*

It happens to us all at times man! Youll get through it if you just push, and I see that you are! It may have been a short lift, but it had great numbers! Dont look at it as lack of motivation, look at it as your body telling you its time for a change up!! You got this homie!!

It's not saying it's time for a change its saying its tired and I'm not listening. So as a treat I cleaned and filled up the hot tub. This season is among us. I can't wait to soak in it tonight.

Today's workout was more than a typical strong lifts routine which has proven muscle growth for me. I think I will follow strong lifts on my pct instead of lifted's murderous routines. I know I can gain strength on it. Plus I really like squats. lol. I get motivated for my lifts after squatting. Nothing like having a bar literally bending on your shoulders. :D

Very true! Only you know what works the best for you. And lifted routines are sick! But look at him, like a rock. If you have something that works, keep it.
 
I think my next cycle I'm just gonna copy everything lifted does. Lol.

That would be awesome.
 
Finally got my hot tub back in service. Soaked in it this morning now I'm heading to the gym. It's gonna be a good day. I'm hitting some shoulders and arms. My legs and lower back are pretty sore so yesterday was a good day. Lol.
 
Hot tub party at your house!
 
I hit shoulders and arms today. Felt awesome. Great pump. Looking really swole in the gym. I'm very pleased with my progression.

This weekend sucked major. The misses has had strep throat all weekend so I've had all the kids with no one to tag in. On top of that I had to try and study for my first two tests of the semester today. That didn't go very well.

You have a really good physique, my weekend was a mess too, could not get legs day in cause my hometown doesn't believe in lifting and had no open gyms lol. I was back in town for a class reunion.
 
I'm really pleased with how I'm progressing. I'm contemplating real hard about doing a physique comp next year. I think it'd be a lot of fun.
 
It is hard work but getting in stage is such a rush and placing is a reward. My best advice is to get a proven prep coach.
 
I have red line brother who actually competes and he is a personal trainer on off days. I'm gonna talk to him and see what he thinks.
 
If he is GTG in the nutritional aspect of it I say go for it.
 
I'd say he is. And there's about ten years of age between us so we would be in different classes too. So I'm sure he'd be cool with it. I just know he's gonna say cardio. Lol. Eww
 
I think I only did cardio 3 days a week during prep
 
Looking good brother, and it seems like everyone had a crappy weekend, including myself. But you apparently pulled through! Cudos. And good luck prepping, cause if you're already looking into that hard, you ll go ahead and do it. And , I Think you should

I think the WV npc is around this time each year and it's (if I recall) only about an hour away from me. So I'd have a good year before I did this. Plenty of time for bulking :D lol. Just one person I'd have to get on board with this.... That won't be easy.

If you're referring to your wife, might not be as hard as you think. Mine HATES me taking supplements, any of them. But sarcastically I Said something about competing after BB friend mentioned me doing it, and she was all over it. Couldn't believe it.
 
My wife hates me taking supps. Doesn't like me spending money. Doesn't even like it when they're free.
 
My wife lifts, she understands it a bit more now.
 
Trying to decide if I want to do squats and shoulders or squats and back. What a dilemma. Lol
 
Depends on what you're working tomorrow... Lol

I would say all or squats(first) and back because your CNS will be fried.
 
I think I'll do a pyramid of squats, 8-6-4-2
Shoulder press / shrugs
Wide Lat pull down / wide rows
Front shoulder raise / lying delt iso
Deadlifts.
 
You're gonna be dead
 
Here we go.
 
Didn't get my pyramid which kinda bummed me out. I got overzealous and went to heavy to fast. So as a Result I added pull ups to my second super set just to work a little harder. Almost didn't do deadlifts but I already said I was going to. So I did. The platform was being used by a chick actually doing deadlifts. I was pretty impressed. She was doing 205 and she couldn't have weighed 115.
Anyways. I did rack pulls and felt great.

Squats
315x8
335x6
365x2
385x2

Shoulder press / shrugs
45x12 / 270x12
90x12 / 270x12
90x11 / 270x10

Wide Lat pull down / wide rows / parallel pull-ups

100x12 / 100x12 / 8
140x10 / 120x10 /6
120x9 / 140x6 / 8

Lying rear delt Iso / front shoulder raises
35x15 / 15x12
50x12 / 15x12
65x10 / 15x10

Rack pulls
225x5 ( mid thighs)
225x18 (below knees)
315x10 (below knees)
405x8 (below knees)
495x2 (just over knees)
 
Looking good!
 
Oh yea. No more videos for awhile guys. I used my pos flip as a blunt instrument and tried to create a hole in a concrete wall.
My bad.
 
I was trying to record my squats so I could prove the numbers and reps. And the stupid thing doesn't record and then does some stupid screen glitch melty thing. So I freaking chucked it. Nearly hit the mirror. Lol. I really lost my temper over something so minuscule.

Ahhh, I love the rage, but you dont have to "prove" jack to me!
 
I have definitely reached my limits on my fuse. I am really really enjoying this Andromax. But over the last few weeks I have noticed a steady increase in aggression. I find myself gritting my teeth a lot and trying to calm down. I am an extremely, and I mean it, extremely laid back person. As long as I get my lift in I'm good. I can literally chill all day and be fine. Things don't normally bother me. I'd say that is the only side effect I've noticed this cycle. I wouldn't say it's a negative side effect because some people like that. It's just what I've noticed.
