Workout was amazing today!! I worked my least favorite body parts pecs and tris.
My only max lift today which was again a personal best was triceps push downs. I lifted, for 3 reps, 335lbs.My triceps were rock hard; it felt great!
My appetite is crazy. I ate in the cafeteria today, a lot. 2 salads, 1 tuna sandwich, 1 pbj sandwich, 2 backed chicken breasts, green beans and Brussels sprouts. I hope my appetite stays this high. My ultimate goal is to gain 20 pounds over this semester, hopefully the majority of it being lean muscle. Sorry for keeping this update so short but I am wiped out. These past 4 days I have left every ounce of my energy and strength in the gym. Tomorrow is my favorite day, back and bis.
Not often you hear that chest/tris are a least favorite (I do agree though Back and Bis are best). I love to get that pump in chest and even more so in arms.
335 for tricep push downs is crazy lol... great to see you so motivated and pushing so hard.
That is a heck of a post workout meal you had there.
Keep it up. And no worries, you check in pretty much everyday with your feedback which is what we were hoping for.
I swear once I began doing seated triceps push downs I have seen a big increase in my triceps development.
Never tried them seated before...
I love the seated. It really isolates the triceps.

Are you doing these in the pull-down machine?
Similar to the preacher machine for bis?
Yeah it is. It looks just like the machine for deadlifts. That people always use for shrugs but it has a seat and you push it down instead of lifting it up.
Like dis? That's NOT me btw lol.

Ah the seated dip machine
Yeah my bad. I do that, start calling a machine/excercise by the wrong name and it sticks

thought I noticed my hairline receding, so I figured I'd be proactive and get some rogaine shampoo
turns out, I'm like one of the <5% of the population that is allergic to minoxidil - sh1t set my scalp on FIRE!!
go figure![]()
I just got home from a back and bis. I was disappointed with my power cleans I was only able lift 155lbs where I hit 175lbs the other day.. But my deads were on point I did my previous 1RM at 450lbs. After lifting that I felt like I was about to be lights out. I stood there dazed for about 30seconds. I also shrugged 220lbs with dumbbells for 10 slow reps. The rest of my workout went well also I totaled 5 back exercise and 5 biceps/forearms exercises. I ended it with 15mins of stretching and rolling on the spiked Rumble Roller; which felt amazing..... I've felt super drowsy for the past three days so I lowered my PCT Revolution dose to 2 caps and feel fine now. Maybe I was killing too much estrogen like I was warned about... Well tomorrow is legs and delts. I'm about to go ham on box squats!!
Don't wanna say I told you so but![]()
Gj making the adjustment. Get some rest after that leg session! Legs should be fried after dead lifts then legs back to back.
Those are some heavy numbers. Glad you are benefiting from Montego's advice. How is your sense of well-being in the gym?
that's what I said to herIt feels good to be on top of the hill.
that's what I said to her
looking good in here! well, except for that pizza & breadsticks that is :hitwithrock:
That's why I put cinnamon in my coffee. Living on the edge.Sometimes I just can't control myself

I've been on the fence since summer whether or not join a local MMA gym. Now that me and my X-gf are separated and I have all of this energy and strengh I actually have the time and motivational to train MMA and to lift. So after work I am heading over to the gym for an hour and a half of wrestling then I'm going to get in my pecs and tris workout!
Sounds like fun buddy.
Yeah I am stoked! Lifting to lift is enough motivation for me already. But I have always thought being involved in a sport like I was during high school always motivates me even more because I can I use my strength and power outside of the lifting gym. It will also help with my cardio which more recently I have been apt to skip..
Not sure how fast you are, but your strength/power certainly would be effective on the mat.
On speed, I'm not sure. I'm a fast sprinter, I'm fast at hitting the speed bag and with power exercises. But the only martial arts I have experience with is Tae Kwon Do and I did that as a kid.
