Drewsicle3210 gets freakishly VOLATILE (sponsored)

[niners4reggie]

Taking into consideration that Drew is sometimes forced into rest days when he doesn't want one, and that he hasn't hit legs this week... I say go for legs. You can bypass the squats if your back comes into play.

Oh I totally get it, I hate taking a rest day myself.

Today is my 7 year anniversary. No logging. I will catch up tomorrow.
I figured I should at least post this.

 

[RegisterJr]

Happy anniversary bro!

[wasme]

Nice bro! Congrats to you and your lovely wife!

 

[Hyde]

Tearing it up in here big D. GVT scares me. It's one thing to smash so much volume, but another to do it with the right tempo & low rest - very well done man.

And congrats on your anniversary! Send me the leftovers if you go out for dinner! (Jk; I know if you're like the rest of us there won't be any leftovers)

Notes

Damn the weights felt heavy today. I got a sweet pump though.
I know my calories have been pretty friggin low, and I am going to change that. Asap.

I have to go to the hospital for a sleep study tonight. I am bringing my Volatile so I can hit the gym on my way home in the morning.

Legs

Damn your six-ways, bro. That's crazy!

 

[drewsicle3210]

Damn your six-ways, bro. That's crazy!

I had to take some extra breaks in there, and my tempo was not so much 4 seconds on the last few sets. Non-existent the last few sets of DB press/Tricep extensions.

 

[niners4reggie]

What's a six way? I'm assuming it's not 1 guy and 5 girls

I've done something similar to that but will give that a shot

 

[RegisterJr]

Yeah, I take breaks some but I use 5's!

No smiley face after the words 6 way lol

This guy is going a little faster than I do, but try them with a 4 second negative on the last three movements. They're killer! I hate them, but they pump my shoulders up like crazy.

Looks like I will be working out this afternoon, barring anything comes up (chores). I have to attend a birthday party with my 5 year old. Yay. I love forced awkward social gatherings.

For some reason my wife HATES me to workout. It is like she goes out of her way to make me feel bad for doing it. I don't understand it really. I think some of it may be that she is unhappy about her lack of exercise and/or body composition. I have tried to motivate, offered to watch the kids, worked out with her. Any ideas on this topic? I feel that if she got going and started seeing results, she would be hooked. And she doesn't have very far to go. If she would agree, I could develop a plan to have her reach her goal within 2 months.

Open for options.

 

[RegisterJr]

Mischelle used to do that. That's why I started skipping weekends. Now she's ok with weekends, because she knows it makes me feel better. She also started doing a home routine a couple weeks ago and prefers me to be gone when she does it.

She's going to have to be ready to start on her own. About her crankiness, try and let her know how much it relieves your stress, helps with anger, or whatever. Remind her that's its beneficial for you both when you work out.

My wife does the same thing. Smh

Actually had an argument with the gf last night over this - she wanted me to spend all day at some wineries with her coworkers/friends today way out in BFE instead of lifting, even though I took last night off to go out for food with her & take her to a musical one of her theater friends was performing in (it was actually really enjoyable, but still totally for her obv). So she got pissed that I wasn't interested in 3.5 hours of driving total coupled with 4hrs of hanging w/ ppl I don't know while they drink & I don't.

Tried to explain that I'd need to eat 3 times, don't drink, don't know them, it's a LONG time for something I could care less about, I just took off for her, & I need to lift (have commitments at 5pm on). She was getting all sourpuss on me. She later apologized, but damn....I was hot.

And of course she doesn't wanna come lift so we can spend more time together, or eat cleaner, even though she's @ 160-165lbs & would love nothing more than to be 150 again. That's far too logical.

Sorry for venting, man.

So we all get it I see. Lol

She elaborated after she apologized that it was just because she wants to spend even more time with me because she enjoys us so much, which is true & sweet. But I explained to her that this is what I do, & what I love - it's how I have fun & ultimately relax. Even if I was fat & 60 & out of shape I think I'd probably lift weights, even if it was just sitting around with other old farts on a saturday morning in a gym bs-ing for 30 min, do a set, bs some more, do a set, etc. I just like it. And that personal satisfaction lets me feel better the rest of the time, like when I'm working or with her. I think she understood.

Wish my convo would have gone like that... :/

 

[Hyde]

Oh, that was after the part where I accused her of attacking me for no reason, picking fights, & she left the bed crying....it was a process Things worked out in the end though. I made her a shake & coffee & gaver her kisses before she left this morning & I got my 1,300lb gym total this afternoon (FINALLY)

1300 is nice! What are your numbers?

I thought I recalled you saying a while back that Mrs Swanky was starting a routine.?

 

[wasme]

10 sets of 6 ways... damn!

Yeah that went nowhere

 

[drewsicle3210]

It is good to see others with the same problem. I guess it's good that we all share the same ailment.

I am going to have to take today off as well due to some unforeseen work stuff, but I plan on hitting it hard tomorrow. I think I am wasting away over here!

That sucks, but stuff like that happens.

 

[drewsicle3210]

Don't I know it. I am worn the heck out, with no end in sight. I am sure that slaying the iron will make me feel better. I just need to get in there and do it.

I know the feeling.. worn out, get all pissed off, go slay iron... feel alive again and no longer pissed at the world. (Note: I typically dont have anger issues lol)

 

[Hyde]

1300 is nice! What are your numbers?

Actually, 1,330 as of tonight - 300 benched saturday (no lift-off, touch & go), 465 squat couple wks back (full parallel), & pulled 565 conventional tonight (no hitch & a 30lb PR )

I got up extra early today to make it happen. I can't wait to drink my Volatile.

I commend your dedication and work ethic brother! Kill those weights!

You getting time to get your workouts in with the baby feedings?

 

[drewsicle3210]

Thanks brother, i took too many day off in a row, making me feel lazy.
Back in it though.

 

[drewsicle3210]

Did you freakishly kill it?

I sure did. I could have done more, but I don't want to push my tendon too hard. My time off really helped with the pain.

Speaking of, was there any elbow/forearm pain?

 

[drewsicle3210]

A little, towards the end when I brought the DBs up, and on chins. Not too bad though. I am going to do some stretching exercises today and maybe put some heat on it tomorrow before the gym.

Woo hoo!!

Love hearing that

Yeah he's been sleeping until 530 or 6 lately so I've been able to get back to it

Notes
I had an outstanding workout. Pumps were borderline painful. I supersetted these, and that caused me to take my weight down a bit throughout the workout.
My DOMS today is brutal, and that says alot because it usually takes me a couple of days to feel it.

 

[drewsicle3210]

Today I took 1.5 scoops of Volatile at 0545
Went to workout after formation but was called back. We are now on lockdown for 2 sets of night vision optics that came up missing.
I did get a 2.5 mile run in though.
We will be searching the AO and stay here until they are found. Hopefully they are found before 1700, because my wife isn't going to be happy at all.

Wow someone would try to take those?

Looks that way. About 10k a piece.
At this time, we are having all of the vehicles in the battalion inspected. We are probably going to be here all night.
