Party Marty's Workout Log

Aawh! I miss nature like that.
Here it looks like:

We went hiking again. This time we returned to Billy Goat Trail, my favorite local place to hike, and did Billy Goat Trail B. My legs are going to be feeling it in the next few days. Before that I did a shoulder day in my apartment gym. I didn't have much time so I did all dumbbell work with little rest in between sets.

Seated Dumbbell Press 50x6x10
Seated DB Side Lateral Raises 30x6x10
Seated DB Front Raises 30x6x10
4-Second Dumbbell Shrugs 50x4x10
 
Weigh-In:

10/23/2017 253.6 lbs 29.3% fat

10/16/2017 252.1 lbs 29.6% fat

Gained a pound and a half, but the BF% went down according to the scale. The lack of progress is partially due to me enjoying myself and the diet I'm doing not really working, hence the changes I've made to the diet.

Alright. I changed my diet. I am now doing low carb days (20g or less) for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday; a moderate carb day (140g) on Sunday, and a high carb day (220g) on Thursday and Saturday. My low carb days will almost be like being keto again. Today was Day 1 of the new low carb days so it was definitely weird. Even worse, the only stim-based preworkout I had in my bag was Ultimate Orange, which has 16g of carbs, making it a no-go on my low carb days. I will grab a container of something in my closet to take with my Permaswole. I'm not going to open my Cannibal Ferox yet. It actually was a pretty good day in the gym for my back day, minus the lack of energy from no stims. In the future, my back day will be on Sunday. My shoulder day will be on Monday.

Seated Cable Rows 175x6x10
High Row 230x4x8, 230x2x8

Haha. Yeah, basically!

The fat is just hiding. It didn't leave. I'm sure of it.
 
Wonderful arm day. No one was in my apartment gym the entire workout until I started cardio. I had two different cable stations doing supersets. Man, what a good day. I have to 100% give props to Permaswole by Chaos & Pain. My arms were exploding.

Ohio State won. What a freaking comeback! Woo! O-H!
 
Still buzzing about that Ohio State comeback...

It was a back day today. I got a nice pump and good sweat on. Nothing to complain about gym-wise. Also got my wife's car checked at the shop and got my haircut. And most importantly, I destroyed a Five Guys burger and Cajun fries.

My workout:

Seated Cable Row 190x6x8

Bentover Barbell Row 155x6x10

Weigh-in day:

10/30/2017 251.3 lbs 29.6% fat

10/23/2017 253.6 lbs 29.3% fat

New low in weight since ending my last keto. I started doing adding "keto days" on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Thursday and Saturday are high carb days. Sunday is a moderate carb day. I saw immediate progress after one week and honestly, my Sunday turned into a high carb day because I turned into a piggy. Not bad.

Today was a shoulder day and it was noice. Added a new exercise today. Instead of doing dumbbell front raises, I grabbed a 25 lb plate and lifted it from my waste to straight over my head.

SFreed, how are you liking Permaswole? You won a bottle from a promotion, right? I love this stuff. I went from using an EVL stim-free PWO pump product to Permaswole and it was a night and day difference.
 
Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, I will post my supplement stack at the moment. It's pretty limited as I'm just cutting and kind of taking a break on certain things. I'm also limiting caffeine to 300mg currently.

Non-workout days:
Thermo: RXS Radiate (Sour Peach Rings)
Multivitamin: Animal Pak
BCAA: Gaspari HyperAmino (Gummy Candy)
Protein: MyProtein Impact Whey (Boston Creme Pie)
Misc.: NOW Maca Root Powder

Workout Days:

Really enjoying it. The pump I get from it seems different from other products. It seems to not only last longer, but hits differently. Hard to explain, but you probably know what I mean.
 
Alrighty. So I am changing my entire workout routine Monday. I will be doing the Lean & Mean program by Allmax Nutrition found here:

Invalid Link Removed

The only difference is that I will be doing the four days on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Monday will just be an hour-long cardio day (which isn't part of the routine). It just felt weird to not go to the gym 5 times per week. I will start this routine Monday with that cardio day and then jump right into it. It's a push-pull routine rather than bro split and it will be very different that what I've been doing. It should definitely shock the body. My diet will stay the same as it is now.

I also weighed in today and was the lowest I've weighed since July 2015. However, I won't count it because it's not Monday and the carb eating over the weekend will raise my weight a little.

Now to today's chest workout:

Flat Barbell Bench 205x1x6, 215x1x6, 225x1x6, 215x3x6
Incline Hammer Strength Chest Press 225x1x10, 225x1x8, 225x1x10, 225x3x8
Peck Deck Flies 205x6x10
Freemotion Chest Press 60x6x10

LISS Elliptical Cardio 20 minutes
 
Alright. So for the next 8 weeks, I'm doing the Allmax Lean and Mean Program found Invalid Link Removed.

Instead of following it's schedule, I will be doing Day 1 on Tuesday, Day 2 on Thursday, Day 3 on Saturday, and Day 4 on Sunday. Monday will be an hour of steady state cardio and the other two days will be rest days. I am still maintaining the same diet, which is roughly no carbs on M, T, W, and F. Th, Sa, and Su will be 250g of carbs. I feel good about this and am looking forward to doing lower reps instead of the 10-12 rep ranges. It should shock the ol body a bit.

Looking big and pudgy!
 
Your before picture looks better than my after. Un-subscribing now.
 
Day 1 of the Lean & Mean Program. This week is a "Power" week so almost of all of the exercises have rep ranges of 4-6. It's hard to just guess what amount I need to do 4-6 reps, so I got it wrong many times. Haha. I love the routine so far. Today was chest, biceps, forearms, and abs.

Oh, your DB presses are heavy! The other exercises looking good too!

The Hammer DB Press was weird because I held the dumbbells vertical, which made the press much more unstable left to right. It added a much bigger element of "I hope these dumbbells don't fall on my face." I don't think I had ever held them like that...
 
Personally, I wouldn't even attempt to do heavy presses, BB -or DB's. Risk of injury is way to high for an older guy.
I think I wouldn't even get them into position, LOL.
Good weight! You are a strong mofo!
 
I used to think I was a puzzy if I didn't do heavy presses. Then I remembered that I'm old as fack and don't really care what people think. Plus, it's nice being able to put on my shirts without my shoulders feeling like somebody is stabbing me

Not a bad strategy! I might use that. My chest has always been lagging and now that I've been cutting for nearly a year straight, my strength has slowly diminished bit by bit.
 
Continued the power week and today was legs. As usual, my s**tty back held me back a bit from going super heavy, but I don't really care to not be able to walk for two months again. I can already tell that my legs are going to be super sore. I mostly followed the routine, but did stray a little bit.

Alright. I ended taking yesterday off because my wife flew to FL and also because DOMS had my legs feeling like I got caned from the waist down. Power week continued today with Back Day. It felt good to go heavy on back, except for the partial deads, which I thought I screwed my back up, but now it is feeling closer to normal again.

Close Grip Lat Pulldowns 205x1x6, 220x1x5, 220x1x6

And Friday, I saw my favorite musician. Lindsey Stirling was awesome live. It was a Christmas concert, so it mostly Christmas music with a few of her originals. Awesome performance.

Last night's workout session was the last day (shoulders and tris) of the "power week." This week, it will be a "reps range" week, which is much more high volume. I have to say that I enjoyed it. I think after three weeks, it might repeat, so I will have a power week again in three weeks. Like usual, I was really bad at guessing how much weight I should have done to hit 4-6 reps...

Seated DB Skullcrushers 75x2x6
Seated Calf Raise Machine 180x3x5
 
Today was the first day of the "Rep Range" Week. It was chest and biceps with some forearms and abs. Nothing too crazy except for the higher reps, but it did have me do bench press in a Smnith Machine and bring the bar down to my clavicle, with my arms straight out horizontally. It burned like crazy and I'm not sure I've ever felt that before. Oh, and I just realized I forgot to do one of the bicep exercises. MOTHER F**K!

I ended up switching today's back day with tomorrow's rest day, so I will go do that tomorrow after work.

However, pretty big news on my end.

I was holding off on my bulk because my wife and I were trying to have a kid. Well, she took the test today and she's pregnant. Obviously, we're still in the danger zone of losing it, so we will be sitting on that for a couple months before we go to the doctor and confirm that everything is on the up and up. In terms of gym and nutrition, this means that if all things check out, I will probably be going on a bulk in January.

Big news, though. This will be my first kid. I still kind of feel like a kid a bit myself, but I know I can handle it!

Thanks. I've done my best to not stress and put my faith in God's plan for us. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be!

Awesome brother. Just remember the first 9 years you cant wait till their out the house, and the last 9 years you beg them not to leave
 
WOW. And now I get the real offer from the CDC around a half-day after the other big news. I can hardly even wrap my head around the last day... Luckily, I don't have to because I'm about to go to the gym for back day. Haha.

Now I have to pack to go to Dallas for a week. Leaving tomorrow around noon, coming back the next Sunday mid-afternoon. There is an LA Fitness around 7 minutes away from my brother-in-law's house so I don't believe my training will take a hit. My diet is going to get screwed, though.
 
We ate at Ten 50 BBQ. It was amazing. The best brisket I've ever had. Invalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link RemovedInvalid Link Removed
