Keeping Up With The Yates': A Couple's Training Log

YatesWifey04 - Very good progress. Leaner, more defined musculature. And in only 8 weeks!

Congrats on the hard work, and a nod to your coach yates84 (even if you don't always listen to him haha).
 
Wednesday lower body hypertrophy

Squats
2×20 @ 135

My pace has picked up considerably here lately and I love it. I truly feel as if I could move not a single other weight when I leave the gym now. After a quick 120g of carbs I'm ready to go again! ( not really but sounds nice ) my motivation off cycle is so much better than when I'm on harsh orals, it's amazing how much of a difference I notice after pct. Guess my body is trying to tell me something...

Towards the end of my cycle I was even leaving work early and putting off responsibilities, just wanted to sit on the couch and do nothing. I'm usually a very motivated and hard working kind of guy and I would like to stay that way, even on cycle.

YatesWifey04 nice work!! Leaner, yet heavier is always a good thing. Aside from the leaning I think you made the most progress in your back. It looks great.

Injuries suck, sorry to hear about that. I love flat bench work, it's just that incline that whoops me.

Injuries can really be a punch to the confidence. You'll get back there though. It just takes time. You definitely want to allow yourself to heal fully, before pushing it again though.
 
Some great work going on in here as usual!

I haven't even seen what's in it so I couldn't tell you tbh. As soon as I hear something I will let you know!
 
Deloading this week so workouts are extra boring. Did a few sets of squats with 135 and some leg extensions and hammies. Going to hit a light chest and arms tomorrow and then I'm off until Tuesday, at which point things will start getting real serious in here! Thanks for following along and happy holidays to all of you.

Deloading isn't so bad, only good things can follow. Keep it up brother!

Happy Holidays to you and your family brother.
 
Hit up some chest and arms this morning, sweat my ass off thanks to some stimul8 that YatesWifey04 won in the transformation contest. Stim effect is nice! Threw a little hydro3 in for some pump. Hope everyone has a merry Christmas! I will be back in here on Tuesday, rested up and ready to tear the gym down!

Dude yeah, that stimul8 and hydro3 combo is killer. I even tried throwing a scoop of CU in there the other day, but I think it was a little too much PWO for me. Which is saying a lot.
About to do stimul8 and hydro3 for my Christmas Eve leg workout
Merry Christmas Eve to you guys by the way!

Now's your chance to pick up HYDRO3 at an insane price. Not to mention the other insider deals.

I was just looking at those! Bogo deals with new conqu3r and tudca for less than 40$? This time of year always bleeds me dry with all the crazy sales.

No kidding, I'm broke as hell, got tr1umph and conquer with a LJ100 in the cart though. Already got a conquer and hydro3 coming from nutriverse so I thought I'd try LJ.

Lj100 is nice for a libido boost, it definitely had me chasing YatesWifey04 a lot more!

Hahaha yeah. Just put the order in. Added an OL tank top to it too. Time to start spreading the word. I'll be saving the LJ for my next PCT though

Those add 20 pounds to your bench instantly ;)
 
Helllloooo!!! I've been MIA on here this week...because LIFE! Spare time has been dedicated to shopping, wrapping presents, working with the little one on potty learning, & trying to clean & organize before the Christmas toy chaos hits!! Although, I haven't been logging my workouts, I'm still hitting the gym like normal.

I'm 10 days out from the end of my cycle & things are going well. Strength is maintaining well, and I'm leaning back up some. Holding pretty steady at 120 - 121lbs, weight wise. Let's hope things keep going smoothly the further out I get.

I hope everyone has a fantastic Chritmas and/or Holiday!! I am so excited about seeing our little one's face in the morning. Oh, and I have a few surprises, under the tree, for yates84 too!! ;)

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays from our family to all of you & your's!!
