Yeah it's cool she made me go the first week or two then left me alone and let me decide. Going to do that with my son whenever I have one.
 
Couldn't lift today, idiot wouldn't let me in without an id and I left my wallet in the other car. :|<---

That's awful. Are you at a school gym?
Click to expand...

No! It's golds lol, there's one 24/7 one that's like 5 minutes farther than my first two choices so I went. Took my moms new Mazda cuz she gets like double the mpg of my silverado and forgot my wallet...

They took my picture when I signed up so I don't see the problem...

Yeah, that's why I asked. I figured maybe a school gym wouldn't have a picture on file. I can't believe they denied you lol.

it was so annoying, they are getting a complaint tomorrow. not because I care I just dont want this to be a recurring problem. stuff does happen and the employee was very unreasonable
 
Sucks man, I remember when I lifted at Golds they just looked you up and matched you with the picture you took when you signed up.
 
Back in the gym.

If you follow any of my other logs you might know I suffer from insomnia. Well last night I couldn't go to sleep for anything! Even took my ambien and no cigar. I literally haven't slept in 30 hours.

Went to class somehow and on the way back took a medicine cabinet full of pills and tried to lift.

1 Animal Rage Pack
6 PX RT
3 Swoll-N (I knew this was gonna be short and sporadic I just wanted a pump quickly)

Whatever, I managed to sleep 20 minutes before I got thirsty and woke up.
 
You and Coop, I swear (lack of sleep). Sorry to hear it bud, but if it makes ya feel better I'm running a full allnighter as well since yester 6am. Surprisingly reaching delirium and debating getting a lift in once I get off work.

Good stuff with the flat press on an off day (psychologically); better **** with the Oakleys.

Lol delirium is op. Idk how I'm used to it but when I would stay up for 3 days in a row this time last year it would be very dissociating.

Lift man! If all else fails you know your pure strength weights at least that's how I think of if. The worst that happens is ya get a nice deload and let your mind take the passenger seat for a bit.

Thanks I was more than happy with both of those things, I was just about to order new ones (250!) but a hard left turn jolted them loose from their hiding spot in my truck lol
 
AH YEAH

Went to sleep with 1.5 of my pills and some melatonin. I still am tired but way better off than yesterday.

2 caps morning

Ate some food

4 caps before workout

105 x6
105 x5

Flat flyes

35 x10
35 x10

Abs
Hanging leg raises
Did about 3 sets each til failure
Threw in some knee raises to keep it going

Decline Weighted sit-ups
35 lbs x10
Normally supposed to do like 40 reps in total and drop the weight as needed but I was dead
Bw x10

Decline Skull Crushers
60 x16 x12
Had to stop, I ran out of gas lol too little weight to stimulate anything and I still was struggling

Quick update.

Abs!! Poking through, I am still what I consider bulking so seeing some improved composition is nice. Other than that chest feels full noticing a huge change in terms of look post workout and in the days after
 
Dat shoulder vascularity.

What's your incline angle (curious); I much prefer 30' over 45'.
 
Same; prior RC issues from baseball. More pec activation ftw. Also, do you use wrist wraps at all? I add them for my working sets on upper power days (bone spur on right wrist = no bueno).

Nah, my bud just had a partial tear on his pec so I snagged them just in case. I used them at the location with that old style bench because the dumbbells were honestly twice as think as the ones at my usual gym. Other than that one time no although my wrist normally seizes up after a good set of bench. Like I cant move it til it stops throbbing lol

Nice! This has been a bad week for me, need to get on track.

Do what I do.

Say **** it, eat all the crap food you want and do absolutely nothing gym related just think about what needs to get done. Do that one or two days, then when you come back you'll be rested, happy and good to go :)
 
I took a hiatus.

I was at my friends apartment most of these last 3 days and thus no lifts.

Well I did get 5 sets of 10 benching 225 with a deadlift bar day before yesterday but that's really about it.

Agreed. Nice veins brotha.

Very generous Jim.

BTW, thanks for the kind words Stephen.
 
Spent the week unplugged from the world hitting some slopes, sorry I haven't chimed in mang.

I see you've about polished up your bottle, how's everything holdin' up for ya? Any notes on libido, if you noticed anything?

Indeed, it shows Jim is more than a coveted meme finder :) hahaha

And no problem man, you supported me for something you believed I was qualified for I simply did the same! You honestly earned it 100%

No offense taken, I've been remaining hidden myself for the most part this break.

And libido is normal, the most I'm noticing is honestly that "full" feeling. Idk how to explain besides a gentle pump constantly like I described earlier. Other than that I notice my hunger isn't as ravenous as before. I find myself remembering to eat rather than dying to
