Montego gets FREAKY

Speaking of back there. Making some small improvements on low doses. Hopefully I can blast off soon. Invalid Link Removed
 
Yesterday was chest and shoulders pump day.

Machine Bench - Use sets of 8 slowly working up to where you cant get 8 reps. 9 sets total. Last 4 counted as working sets.

Hex Press - 4 sets of 10. Squeezing the DB's together hard during the entire movement. I love these. They really force the blood into the inner portion of the pecs it feels like.
SS
Band Over and Back - 4 sets of 10. Green band pulled out wide. Barely going over the head to lower back then back to the front. Thats 1 rep.

Stretch Pushups - Used 2 benches side by side. Deep stretch to the bottom and make the pecs work to squeeze you back up. 3 sets to failure
SS
Band over and Back - 3 sets of 10.

Seated Side Lateral - 4 sets of 10. Using perfect form here. Really trying to push the shoulders out wide at the bottom so my traps didnt get engaged.

Seated Front Raise - 4 sets of 10. Again using perfect form with no swinging. Bringing DB to just above eye level and palms down the entire move.

Reverse Pec Dec - 4 sets of 30. Perfect form and really slowing down the eccentric portion. Shorter range of motion here to isolate the rear delt best I could.

Cable Fly - 5 sets of 15. Hard squeeze on the contraction. Bringing arms back to parallel not too far.

Seated Calf Raise - 10 sets of 15. I havent done these in almost a year because I could never feel them anywhere besides the arch of my foot. Since working on calves more I can actually get the mind muscle connection doing these now. Calves are fried today lol.
SS
Standing Calf Raise - 10 sets of 10. Did these immediatley after the seated press with no rest between any sets. Barely touch the ground and fire back up holding contraction for 2 count.
 
Today Arms

Rope pushdown - Lots of warmups. 4 sets of 15 controlling the weigt on the way up and flexing but not locking out at the bottom.
SS
Barbell Curl - Lots of warmups. 4 sets of 8. Nice and controlled without swinging but heavy and squeezing.

Hammer Curl - 4 sets of 10. Alternating arms .
SS
Single hand Pushdown - 4 sets of 10. Just bringing arm to 90 degrees on contraction lockout and flex hard for 2 seconds.

Reverse Grip Pushdown - 4 sets of 10. Bent over and let the weight come behind my head. Hard flex but no lockout.
SS
Preacher Curl - Used cable station with a v-handle. Really hit the brachialis nicely on these. Thats the most important piece of the bicep imo.

DB Curl - 4 sets of 15. Hands up entire move. Short ROM at the bottom to force blood in.
SS
Assisted Dips - 4 sets of 20. Worked the top half of the movement here. Flexing hard at lockout.

Yesterday I did a secondary back day.

4g of Enhanced White Vein kratom earlier. Really good strain. Nice energy, I was dead on feet earlier, and a smooth relaxing/well being feeling.

I've got a long hectic day tomorrow at work and I'm gonna try the Yellow Vietnam to make sure I dont freak out lol.

Tonight I think I'll give private Bali a go and give the red vein Thai a break for a couple days.

Picture the goodies I Got in the mail Today. Invalid Link Removed
 
Dude you got me wanting to try every single strain lol

What are they teas?

Kratom is a plant extract that has some pretty awesome properties. Very strong pain relief, relaxation and mood enhancing traits.

It can be made into a tea but doesn't have to be. I just add to protein shake or active amino and slam it.

It can have dependency issues but would be a lot better option to explore than those Percocet if you hurt your back again.

I've never used kratom and don't really plan to but I know it is an alternative for people with chronic pain.

I will say, I only use the Perc's if I absolutely have to.

I know it's an opiate alternative, and binds to the same receptor sites with very similar euphoric effects. Out of curiosity, have you experienced any of the stool hardening effects that opiates are known for with the kratom? That, for me, is the only downfall to Percocet and since I'll be logging the kratom, it would be nice to know in advance so I can plan to up my fiber/H2O intake.
 
Yesterday Chest/Shoulders

Amazing workout and I had a really good pump going. Chest was cramping up after the lift and its pretty sore today. Gotta get dem boobies growing.

DB Press on Slight Decline - 25lb plate under one end of a bench. Used sets of 8 working up 5-10 lbs each set. Kept going until I couldnt get 8 reps. Last 4 sets were the working sets.

Incline Bench - Few sets of 3 to find a weight I could do explosively for 5 reps. Came all the way down and touched chest this week and then fired back up to 3/4 lockout. 4 sets of 5.

Leg day

Refeed energy is still hanging around and I killed it today.

Lying leg curls - 4 warm-up then 4 sets of 15. On the last set after the 15th rep I hammered out 35 partials.

Squats - worked up to a tough 8. Used that weight for 4 sets of 6 with a 3 second negative.

Hack squats - 3 sets of a heavy 10 then 2 drop sets to failure

Chest and Shoulders

DB Press Slight Incline - Do sets of 8 slowly working up the weights until you cant get 8 reps. Last 3 sets count as working sets.

Incline BB Press - Come down to 1-2 inches above the chest and explode up to 3/4 lockout. 3 sets of 10.

Reverse Banded Bench - 5 sets of 5 with a weight you can move explosively.

Stretch Pushups - 3 sets to failure. Work the stretch really good here.

DB Side Lateral - 4 sets of 15 with perfect form
SS
Band Pull apart - green band 2 second flex 4 sets of 15 (Fire)

Destroyer set - Use heavy db's and do rear lateral partials facing the pad on an incline bench. Make sure to stop the db's at the bottom and not let them touch. Get a heavy weight and do 60 reps, cut the weight in half and do 30 reps, cut in half again and do 15. These suck and will set your delts on fire.

Good session but strength was down a little today. Not sure if I got enough sleep last night or what but noticeable dip in strength.
 
Yep negatives on squats are so much fun!

Monty are the one arm bb rows done in front of you more like a high pull or strictly to one side like a "suitcase" row?

Really dig the banded hypers - they keep the stress off at the bottom but let the top handle heavy weight

Like a suitcase row. The hypers always wreck me lol.
 
Starting to see the added size the last couple weeks. Delts and back are starting to fill while fat gain has still been minimal.
