Onlychevy6 with Needtobuildmuscle(rs-transaderm) gets his rub on

As you get stronger and drop weight, you will get closer to being able to do those chins man. I wouldnt sweat that. Nice update Jeff!
 
You did good man. Yeah with that hernia you need to watch out. Already herniated you should be wearing a belt if your going to force the issue but really just put you feet high and wide on the leg press and add in some back extensions. On thie chins no reason you "SHOULD" be able to do them at all. They are nothing like doing a lat pull down they take much more effort. I think I have read that you need to be able to do 10-15% more than our body weight on pull downs to be able to do your chins. So don't beat your self up. Warm up on the pull down, then go to the chins do what you can then hit the pull downs. You will get there.

Great idea. I was all happy I have been able to do the hanging leg raises. And was like lets do the chins. When I got 2 done I went for the 3rd and was just hanging there. Probably looking like a chubby monkey. lol.
 
Ok so I took the weekend off from training to let the swelling of my hernia go away. Most of it has gone back down still some hardining around the belly button area due to the hernia. I will be back in the gym tomorrow. :)
 
Man those are some sick deadlifts!!!

Upright rows too man. You got some SERIOUS PULLING POWER!!

Sorry to hear about the hernia. I have an umbilical hernia as well... I find that an anti inflammatory diet plus really watching my form on all exercises were I have to "Push" from my belly area keeps me safest. ;D
 
Don't sweat the chins! I remember when I couldn't do any and now I can do about 10. Not a big number, but you have to start somewhere. Keep working at it and you'll succeed!!!

Listen to your body and don't fug with hernias. Work around it and you'll be fine.

Great updates and keep pushing yourself...YOU GOT THIS!!!!

Yah I can't do pullups till I get under 220...then I can do quite a few...
 
Dw that is good to know. Now I have an idea of where I should be before get multiple reps in. just using it as a guideline.
 
In brotha! I know you are working to lose weight, but your dietary numbers seem a bit extreme. 101 Protein, OUCH! Not giving you **** and I am behind you 100% but DAMN!.
 
Pull-ups are the hardest body weight exercise they have Bro, definitely do not beat yourself up about them! Also, bio-mechanically they are just harder for some people than others! They have always been a weak area for me and the only time I felt like I could do a decent amount of them was when I was extremely light and weighing like 195Lbs or less, anything over 200Lbs and I struggle with them!

I have two different diets. One for training days and one for non workout days. I am also doing the lean gains diet. Example

Workout day macros are like this
2400 calories
81.8 grams of fat
154.7 grams of carbs
275.2 grams of protein

Which breaks down
29% fat
25% carbs
45% protein

Non workout day is like this
1745 calories
82.7 grams of fat
74.0 grams of carbs
180.7 grams of protein

Break down
41% fat
17% carbs
42% protein
 
Ah, much better, I assume you were off target on the 1000 cal, 101 g protein day. I was really worried about that one!
 
Ok, my bad, I looked the log over a bit closer and that was just for a meal, not the entire day. :welcome2: Sorry Man :(

Lol no worries. I often respond via my phone and dont always see what is said before I comment on things. But it is all good. At least you read it and were curious you actually had me go back and look myself. Ha ha ha.
 
So how you feeling Jeff, have you tried screwing any knotholes or wrestling any bears?

And not to mention it feels like I am getting a solid pump all day long. Well almost all day. Seems to wear off around 3:00-4:00 pm and I apply it at 5:00am

I can tell I really need to work on my forearm and wrist strength. On some exercises it was tough holding the weights for long period's of time.

Here is a video of my machine squats. She did not record every rep only a few.

Sorry everyone I tried to rotate the video on You Tube and it was done fine but when I post it up it goes sideways.
 
Nice work, that was a long set of 5. You beast.
 
Looks great bro, awesome weight on your lifts, and sweet viddy very BA!!!
 
We shall find out tonight. But I think the transaderm has started to kick in. I am using 6 pumps currently. My lower back is starting to get a little sore. Probably because of the squats. Sad thing is if the dumb machine would have allowed for more weight I know I could have done it. Grrr. Oh well on to todays workout tonight, it should be a good one.

Thanks for the props everyone. I am trying to keep my strength up while losing all this skin chub. At times it is tuff but it is all mind over matter.

I think it might be time for you to switch over to one-legged squats, just be very careful and definitely work your way into them, but I guarantee you won't be able to max it out if you go that route my friend, remember it is all about the form, make that $hit BURN...:firedevil:

Hmm I might have to try that. Good looking out.
 
For those of you taking rs-transaderm have any of you noticed an increase in hunger. Man the last couple of days I have been a lot hungrier than normal.

What is really kind of scarry is when you are dumping and have to make a big push and right after everything let's loose, you get a head rush.

So as the day went on my lower back was getting tighter and tighter. Tried to stretch some during the day to help alleviate the soreness and tightness. On my drive home I was all excited to hit the gym as I had a plan and date with some weights. Now as for the workout it started off on a good note.

After this workout my lower back is officially toast. Soon as I am done with this I will be hoping in my tub and taking a hot bath with some Epsom salt to help heal my body. I am done with the heavy lifting for a while, even if I know I can do it. And I also think I need to start taking some
pre-workout supplement for some extra energy. I can really tell now I have lost some strength after this last run. I am hoping this Transaderm will bring some of it back. I might even have to experiment with when to take it. Since I started taking it in the morning about a few hours later I feel a nice tightening effect and a slight pump. I have caught my self some bicep flexing when I am at my desk working. LOL. Feel like a total tool when I realize I am doing it. Ha Ha Ha.
