Trust me from experience once a woman gets pregnant she is never the same again.
Cheat meal sucks. Ate four bites of a piece of pizza, 1/2 a pint of BNJ "everything but the.." And three cookies. Don't have an appetite and I'm feeling nauseous. Bleh.
^^this! Sorry but it's true! lol Well worth it though! It's one of the best things you could ever experience--even if it is an emotional roller coaster! ....on a positive note- the 2nd trimester should be a little better!Trust me from experience once a woman gets pregnant she is never the same again.
dude your bench is massive.Dem sushi gainz helped me move some serious weight today! CYCLE II Reactive training systems Doubles week Competition squat 315x2 @9 Invalid Link Removed 315x1 @8 rep drop no load drop Competition bench 275x2 @9 Invalid Link Removed Bodyweight dips for 3 sets *just want to point out the bar speed on both the squat and bench as well as the depth I had on them squats 8) flat knocked the bottom out lol I've got another video that shows the depth better if you all wanna see it. I had an awesome session! I'm still bloated from the sushi, snickers and gigantic cookie I made last night.. But, it was well worth it!
dude your bench is massive.
you know it comes with time and working hard. You'll get itThanks beast. I need to continue to work on my squat tho. The guys in the 148 class have some pretty stout numbers :/
dude your bench is massive.
That's what I'm saying. I can't double that right now, & I'm sitting at 220 every morning. It had really good speed; should be good for 305 at least.
Man I wish, a lot of it has to do with my set up, and my leg drive is decent as well. Everything was clicking tonight, just felt good and "right". I think the rep drops vs the load drop is paying off as well. My next training cycle I will do repeats, then back to load drops.
My training partner thinks I'm good for a 330 squat, and I need that to be A LOT higher. I don't care for bench honestly. I'd rather have a high squat and dead![]()
I can wish for it but my Bench is going to hold over my number for awhile lls, honestly thinking about a meet in Feb

Grrrr, my hip locked up mid bench, my right quad had an odd tightness/pain where it ties into my hip so my front squats weren't exactly where I wanted today. Although I can't complain about the 225.
I made a protein cake tonight and chopped up a cliff bar and mixed it into the batter, and covered that dude in honey. Holy shizz that was a bad idea lol was WAYYY too sweet lol won't do that again.
you guys are crazy! I used to just take shots of honey straight from the bottle for a quick carb up pre workout or before a hockey game... looooveee it.

it really is. And it's easy to transport and not have to worry about hot/cold etc. the og preworkout hahaHalf my hockey team had a honey bottle to use pregame or during intermission. Great for quick energy
I would. I can't pull worth a **** the day after I squat. Hard to pull worth a **** a lot of days as it is; don't make it harder than it already is. Deadlift is a fickle mistress, and it can be brutal to perform week in and week out on a percentage system instead of an RPE like you use.
I love deadlifts, just not following my squat and bench day lolYep. I hate deadlifts when doing my 5/3/1 training, which I have to do tonight at like 10pm...ugh.
yeah actually it did. Less glute and Ham, more lower back. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I need perfect it soon because i only have another month or so before the compLooking strong man. The deads looked better with the higher hip position too. Did it feel any different for u?
no I'm pulling conventional. I squat with a narrow stance and pull with a narrow stance. My alternative/secondary pull is really just to give my lower back and quads a break.Are you pulling sumo at the meet? If not, 5 wks out is getting pretty close to be using an alternative style as a primary training stimulus...
man I hope! I hooked my muscle stim onto my medial and rear delt yesterday for 20 minutes. Seemed to help a minute amount lol I'll probably do it again tonightSleeping on my side is the ****ing death of me. Hopefully that's all it is for ya!
No lifting today. Sick as a dogI may not lift tomorrow either, depends on how I feel.. If these meds kick in i will, but more than likely I won't

Rest up and feel better!![]()
Get better man, being sick sucks!!!
Hope you are feeling better!
Shoulders looking wide as hell man.
Just curious what you're doing for rears? Seriously man you've got the 3d look started.Thanks bro. I've been hitting my rear delts after ever session and I think it's starting to pay off. Want that 3D look, this program has SO much pressing with little scap retraction/pulling.

I might start doing this. Seems like an awesome method. How many sets/reps do you usually do?Db rear flys, face pulls, high snatch rows and band pull aparts. That's it! I pick one exercise and add it to every workout

ya I usually stick to higher reps as well. 12+ for rear delts4-5 sets Reps I pyramid. 12-12-10-8-8 Usually pyramid the bb high snatch row, and Db rear flys. Face pulls and band pull aparts I always do 15-20 reps
Still Cubing it, and my routine is set up Dead/Light Bench/Squat/Heavy Bench on mon/wed/fri/sat - I just add an upper back movement to 3 or 4 of the 4 days each week, and that's worked awesome. 4-5 worksets of 8-15 reps usually (on top of the 5 sets of pullups I do after deadlifts).
Like it WAY better than a dedicated upper back day. Ain't nobody got time fo that. Plus it's more fun rowing more often.
