Taking 3-4 days off from the gym.

Thanks. I've become wiser in my old age lol. I know that a break every 10-12 weeks is the best thing no matter how you're feeling, not only from the mental aspect but to reset the body and prime it for new stimulus. Can't grow if you never take time off.

Amen, I used to run myself into the ground regularly and end up missing short periods, or spend long periods in that "working around an injury" state where maintenance was painful and progress was minimal at best.

It was pretty good. I'm feeling stellar after the four days of complete rest too.

Loading today so I'm trying some new goodies to kill that sweet tooth.

These turned out pretty Damn good I gotta admit. They are also very simple to make ;) Invalid Link Removed
 
Those look pretty good. Did you add any protein powder? The wife makes some Blueberry muffins and somehow manages to put 2 scoops in. Things are awesome! I like Orange so I'm going to tell her to look for these next.

Nah no added protein. Load days my protein goes down soit it wouldn't work out as well.

Realky good idea though.

Back and Biceps

Freelanced today. Had a really hard time contracting my biceps for some reason.......kinda strange but, possibly from working back and biceps together wich I dont do normally. Will keep an eye on it.

Day before Yesterday was Legs

****ing powerful this day. Trained late in the afternoon around 7pm. Gym was stuffed to the gills which i did not enjoy what so ever. Got in the goods though and can hardly walk even though volume was extremly low.

Seated Leg Curls - Sets of 10 working up one plate on the stack every set. Last set I could barely get 10 I did 2 drop sets followed by 20 partials in the stretched position.

Leg Press (Feet Low and Close) - Sweep is a lagging point so ive been throwing these in lately. Sets of 12 working up to a really tough 12 reps. DC style set over 3 minutes. Work to just short of failure. Rack for 5 seconds. Repeat. Do this for 3 minutes total. Sucks bad.

Squats - 5 sets of 5 with a weight I could use explosively.

Split Squats - 4 sets of 15 with a 25lb plate then 10 more reps after dropping plate on each leg.

Leg Extension - 3 sets of 15. Rest pause type here. Lower weight all the way to bottoming out. Reset and then explode out of the hole as hard as possible.
 
Yesterday Chest and Shoulders

Another killer session. Really got exhausted today. Heavy weights and lots of forced reps since machines were used a lot.

Machine Press - sets of 8 working up 10lbs at a time till I couldnt get 8. About 9 sets total last 5 were really working decent weights while last 3 were the working sets.

Incline Smith - sets of 15, 13, 11, 9, 7 ,5. Went up in weight each set. Used as much weight as possible here. Had to rack and rest a second to get a few extra reps here and there.

Reverse Band Bench - Used a slight incline with a 25lb plate under one end of the bench. 5 sets of 5 focusing on lowering the weight slowly and then flexing as hard as possible at the top.

Wide Grip Dips - 3 sets of failure. 15-14 reps on each set here.

Side Laterals - 4 sets of 12 bringing weights to 90 degrees.
ss
Spidercrawls - 4 sets of 10. up and down the wall 5 times.

Rear delt flys - 3 sets of 25 with the swing motion. Heavier weights used here and just concentrate on not letting the weights touch at the bottom. Burn baby burn.

Out of Kratom so hopefully it gets here asap :) Need to goodies to knock the edge off! lol
 
Today back

Meadows row - 4 sets of 10 heavy heavy. Two drop sets to failure

Supinated one arm pulldown - 4 sets of 8. Hard squeeze to hit the lower lat nicely.

Db pullover - 4 sets of 10

Smith row - 3 sets of 6 with a heavy weight for explosive reps.

Banded hypers - 3 sets to failure

Calf raise - 10x10
 
My chest day was identical to yours. Nice programming you got there!
 
So ... have you found you can train while on Kratom? If so what strain? For me with the strains I have been using I find I am way to jello to train hence me dosing in the evening post workout.
 
Enhanced White Vein at 5g rocks pre training. Absolutely marvelous for me.

Haven't tried any white strains yet. I read that Maeng Da Green was a fairly stimulating strain so I was considering giving that one a go next.
 
Some great training going on in here! I think I might have to go out and order some kratom myself. A little something for a re workout might be nice in the evenings when I don't want to get too amped up from a pre workout. Montana you say for the pre workout the Enhanced White Vein is the best for a preworkout in your opinion?
 
I believe it is. It's a shorter lasting strain but packs a good punch so imo I think it's perfect for what you're wanting.

AM25 code is good till the 31st for 25% off
 
Have you tried the Premium White Vein Borneo? I am just curious if the Enhanced actually seems twice as strong, or just stronger than normal. Running 4-6 grams of the enhanced could get expensive quickly only getting 4-6 workouts per ounce.
 
The Borneo will have much longer had life but not as big of a hit.

DO you think just dosing an extra couple grams would catch the hit up to the enhanced version enough to be worthwhile? Just trying to figure out which would be the better value and still be plenty effective.
 
I don't think so.

After a certain limit you'll get the more sedative side of kratom even though it is a white strain.

You could still benefit for sure but, I would take earlier so you're not wired at bed time lol.

Okay cool, I think I will order some this weekend. Have to verify a few other expenses first.
 
Pics from my weekly update to the coach Saturday. A bit sloppy here and some adjustments were made. 222.0 so up about 22 lbs or so I think. Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
 
Chest and Shoulder Day

Since I got shorted yesterday I made sure I would have plenty of time to get the entire workout in today.

Incline Machine - Sets of 8 working up to barely being able to get 8. 9 total sets.

DB Slight Incline - 5 sets of 5 with explosive movements from the bottom. Program called for BB but I subbed these due to a packed gym.

Machine Press - 4 sets of 8. Hold the contraction for 2 full seconds. I used one of those Cybex chest machines where you can move the handles inward at the contraction point. Amazing ****. I couldn't use nearly the same weight but the contraction was bonkers.

Stretch Pushups - 3 sets to failure.

DB Side Laterals - 3 sets of 12 bringing the DB's to 10 and 2 oclock.

Cage Press - (Subbed with Reverse Shoulder Press) 5 sets of 5 flexing hard at the top to engage traps. Hit a pr here? I cant say for sure but 160 per side is the most I can ever remember doing.

Bent Over Laterals - 3 sets of 15. Full ROM no swings today.

Cable Fly - 3 sets of 20 with a 2 second contraction and 2 second full stretch.
 
Like the sound of the Machine Press! Never used the cybex equipment.
 
Yeah that is an awesome machine for targeting the pecs!

Long time! How you been buddy?

Good man. My health issues were still ****ing with me the last while. Lost a bunch of weight. Finally just said **** it, if I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die while lifting heavy ****! Lol.

How have you been? You've made some huge gains since the last time I saw ya. :thumbsup:
 
Yesterday I took off. Only got 2 hours of sleep the night before and I was sore as **** from chest/shoulders still.

Back today

One Arm BB Row - 4 sets of 12. Really worked the stretch and driving the elbow up not pulling the hand. These with higher reps like this give me a freaking awesome pump cause I can really lean over without stressing my lower back and stretch the entire lat.

Straight Arm Pulldown - 4 sets of 10. Used a rope attachment today. Can get a little more ROM on these using the rope and I feel like i get a much better contraction.

Chest Supported Rows - 4 sets of 10. Did a high row on this. I normally do one arm at a time cause I can use much more weight but, today I used both arms. One arm I can use more weight and get a better stretch but using both arms I feel like I engage more of the back overall.

BB Shrugs - 3 sets of 20. First 10 reps hold for 2 seconds then pump out 10 more reps.

Hyper Extensions - 1 set to complete failure.

Calf Raise - 5 sets of 10. Holding contraction for 2 seconds.
SS (No rest between exercises or Super Sets)
Standing Calf Raise - 5 sts of 10. just touching heels down and coming back up.

Hanging Leg Raises - 5 sets of 20
