Decline Sit ups: 3 sets of 30

I forgot my little black book today so all weights should be fairly on point but it could be off a little...muscle hurt alittle as well but gotta man up and keep pushing

Just listen to your body if you push to hard it will cause a injury. Nice workout.:)
 
Day 13: Cardio

Eliptical...
start of stretching, then start going at normal speed
at 4minutes 40 seconds you go balls to the wall...my goal was to get over 200 rotations, theirs usually a tracker on the machine...until 5 minutes
at 5 minutes u go regular again until 9 minutes 40 seconds and do the same thing again until 10 minutes
11 minutes i would reverse the rotation ur feet are going in....12minutes 40 seconds same thing just ur feet are moving opposite way
13 minutes i'd go regular again
at 14 minutes 40 seconds balls to the wall
15 minutes 40 seconds, 16 minutes 40 seconds
17 minutes 40 seconds
18 minutes 40 seconds
19 minutes 40 seconds

i then go normal speed until 24 minutes 40 seconds

Stationary bike for 5 minute cooldown

Abs: 3 sets of 20 reps on Ab machine superset with 3 sets of weighted leg raise machine
after that i did 100 broomstick twists and then took the weighted bar in front of me and did 40 twists

Leg muscle that i thought i pulled felt good today, no pain during workout or stretching...walking out of the gym it tightened up alittle bit but now it doesn't hurt in any way which i'm pumped about.....2 week review coming later if i get a chance....i will review based from week 1 to week 2 rather than a cumulative review...i'll save that until the end to give ppl an opportunity to see when certain effects start to take place

Looking foward to the 2nd week review.
 
Week 2 review

Weight: 145 1/2 (.5) from week 1

Strength: From week 1 to week 2 this might have been the biggest difference i've seen. many of my lifts either increased in weight some in reps. most noticable increases were in db flat press, close grip cable pulls, dips, calf raises, and lat pull down. down right impressed with strength increases

Endurance: This might have something to do with strength inreases. Sometimes i get through half a workout and i feel my strength start slipping on some lifts but not this week, i felt strong and ready to go through the whole training session. i could have stayed at the gym alittle longer a couple of the days it felt like but if i got my planned workout done, might as well get out and rebuild

Recovery: Very impressed with this aspect..i used recoverpro prior to starting swole stack and it helped with recovery but with the swole stack added in i really feel fine the next day....this week i had an extended chest excercise and that felt alittle sore and of course legs were sore but nothing like they were or have been...even a pulled muscle in my leg seems to be feeling better 3 days after it was injuried

Libido: possibly the biggest drop in any category i have listed...not that my libido went down in any way but i didn't get the strong urges to get it in the way i did the first week...i'm always ready to go and that hasn't changed but the first week something would click and i'd be like i need something right about now

Muscle Hardness/Vascularity: i mentioned it week 1 but i never really took anything that made me feel like i was "harder" throughout the day and this is no different yet...however i do feel like i feel thicker and more solid...looking in the mirror my arms look as if they are bigger and built better than before, facing the mirror and it's almost as if you can tell my back is wider and thicker than it was, my shoulders feel more broad and rounded than they did a week ago....really good feeling, really helps with the alpha male feeling when you feel like more of a beast when ur back and shoulders feel more built and solid

Notes: Throughout the week i did feel more solid, a few times i'd look in the mirror an think i was leaning out on some fat and other times i looked in the mirror and told myself, i need to cut real soon...i guess it depended on time of day and what i had in my stomach at that time...overall i dropped about a half a pound...weights on a lot of lifts went up so i can keep trying to mess with my diet a little and continue on the cardio and hopefully some fat will melt off...i feel i have to mention this...at the start i said i was going from 2900 calories a day to 2700 calories but around wednesday i decided to drop the calories to about 2500 calories a day...it's enough calories to add or atleast keep muscle where it's add but less calories to help drop fat as well....i've also made a more aware effort to cut out carbs earlier in the night...i go to sleep around 11:30 and carbs are cut off between 7:30-8:00..i think i do this normally but i've really made a more concerned effort in making sure of it now
 
Subbed. Im assuming your from the north (younggotti)... if not im sorry, but ill still follow along. nice log so far, im very interested in glycobol.
 
Excellent and very thorough review thus far. Great amount of detail. This is an amazing log thus far keep up the great work bro
 
Steady as she goes... stack remains consistant from here on out, you should be able to continue to make gains in the gym. This will add up to gains, or since you've been dropping calories .. recomp.

Again today i felt good in the gym, alittle froggy so i leaped and almost died...went for 75 lb db press and got 4 thank god for a spotter or i probably would have dropped the weight on my chest...it wasn't that i got stuck pushing the weight as the 4th rep felt easy, i guess my balance muscles gave out as i swayed back and fourth which through me off and thats why i did the drop set, either way never tried 75 lb on the DB before...Dips i finally got the balls to strap a 45lber around my waist...i put i 9 1/2 because on the 10th i feel like i cheated and didn't dip all the way down...the v bar pulldowns felt really easy..the weights i usually do and added about 2 reps per set and thats why i did the kickback set at the end....overall 2 excercises on weights i've never done before...pretty happy

Very nice bro. Damn you do not want no 75lb dumbells falling on your chest.
 
Keep it coming brother....very interested in this. Plan on using stack for a cut this time rather than a bulk.
 
Yah losing balance can make it seem like you've maxed out as you don't get your push. I have lost balance on things like push press and failed and still gotten another rep when I got my balance back.

haha i know what ur saying, like an idiot who never failed using db presses...the one dumbell is about to crush my pec/ribs and the with the other arm, instead of dropping the db in the other arm continued to press...i can laugh because nothing happened but i really think i could have gotten 5 or 6 reps...oh well always next week
