Dinner getting ate a lil late. So went with a salad. Been craving it and didn't know it till the first bite
Whole bag of pre mixed lettuce

1/2 bag baby spinach

6 oz boiled chicken breast

4 hb eggs

2oz shredded almond cheese

Prolly make four bowls of the size seen. I'll eat two tonight and it'll still bring me in a lil under macros for the day but somehow I'm sure I'll make it up lol
 
Looks really good. I could eat a Caesar salad every night and never get tired of it.

Big spender.

I stick with the cheapo iceberg, usually.
 
Soreness. I cut out my intra workout dose of BCAA because I'm getting about 20 g a day from my protein shakes. But I've felt like I'm a lil more sore after every work out. Is this normal just from dropping them?? I was just trying to save some money by not eating almost 30 g a day but could go back if 30g daily is what it takes.

Negatron. I care lol. Really been trying to get the most value possible outta what I eat. I've even added spinach and flax seed to all my shakes to try and round out some of the necessities. I don't know much about food and diet really though. I'd say I've picked a lot up here thanks to u guys.
 
Today was back day and a good one for me. At least I think so. I've come to realize that in the gym it you vs you. But a spotter or a lifting partner helps , I believe. But I have neither up here. So wanted to do some stuff a lil heavier than my comfort zone. Nothing crazy cuz I'm injury paranoid but did show some nice personal progression. When I started today I told myself " you'll either get it or u won't" both were true.

Warm up
Trap bar deads
1 x 12 @ 135
1 x 9 @ 185
1 x 6 @ 225
1 x 3 @ 275
1 x 3 @ 295
1 x 3 @ 315. ( this is a long time personal best. I've done more but it's prolly been 4-5 years)

Behind the back smith shrugs. Palms facing me
3 x 10 @ 225

Single leg press
1 x 20/leg @ 90

Now when it came to the rest of the work out I used my wrist wraps for almost every lift. Which I don't normally do. Usually just use them for heavy lifts that put to much pressure on the plates in my forearm with standard grip. Huge success by doing this. Allowed for much better focus on target muscles. Again just my .02.

Workout:

Meadows row
5 x 7 @ 50

What I had been calling ISO lat pull downs I noticed the machine plate actually says ISO hi row. Not sure if that's really different.
3 x 7 @ 315
2 x 5 @ 365

Vbar seated cable rows
2 x 7 @ 130
1 x 7 @ 150
2 x 7 @ 160

Bent over smith rows
3 x 5 @ 135. Banded(75)
2 x 7 @ 135

Wide tbad pull downs
3 x 7 @ 170
2 x 5 @ 150. Had to drop weight because I couldn't get the contraction I wanted

Reverse seated incline row. Put a plate under the far end to get just a lil more lean out of the lift
5 x 6 @ 65
 
Nice lifts Wrench.

If ur getting them for the same purpose as the floss bands they work great. I dunno about use much else though lol. But I wrap my elbows with them. There's an awesome Kelley starrett vid on u tube for the elbow work with them.

I try and take breaks between using pwo so the effect seems stronger. Not sure if I'm hallucinating or it's a reality bud I'd swear I'm stronger when I take the ignite stuff. :-)

The past two days I've added up the total number of pounds moved in the gym. As long as my routines stay the same the grand totals should raise every week. If not I'm making no progression. Is this an accurate way to judge progress though??
 
Went to the gym today mostly all cardio. Been slacking on it for the past couple weeks. Did some core work as well. Stuffed my face. Gonna go work on the Bergner drill for a while to try and get my clean form closer to perfect.
 
Same here on the tilapia (2x/day) but for me green beans or broccoli In place of the asparagus

Ps: I make mine in the microwave now. I kid I not that is the THE BEST way to make it !!

To some extent, sure. You're lower weight/higher volume days will be higher (total volume lifted) than on heavier days though.
 
Big fan of The Acacia Strain. Can't say enough how much I like them. Stood in the rain for 1.5 hours one night waiting to get tickets to LOG. Show was sold out. Sucky night.
