ryane87s ride to awesomeness

Looking really good! :)
 
Nice bro! I can tell you took that in the gym by the checkered tile lmao.

Always...not quite ready to let the wife in on the weirdness. It is kinda hard too! You feel like someone caught you masturbating or something when they see you...LOL

I appreciate it! I have to have some kind of bar for you to surpass while you are on cycle...lol

Always shenanigans when it comes to our threads. No other way to have it! lol

I for one am tired of the shenanigans! I wish we could just do our logs and be professional about it all. Hshhdhggaguiwjabvgankamkdhjf


Sorry, I was laughing so hard at that ridiculous crap I was trying to post that I couldn't stop hitting random buttons

Dietary adjustments: new total is at least 3550 each training day (M-F)

Fat= 122
Carbs= 297
Protein= 313

I am back to 8 oz of meat for 3 of my meals. I always did better at a higher protein count. If I need to adjust anymore for whatever reason, I will begin playing around with carbs and fat. Lookin' for that 200 again! LOL

With my age and not knowing when my metabolism is going to take a dive, I think I am going to slowly add carbs, subtract fat, then bring that back up. I wanna see how this goes for a couple of weeks. I still need to figure out weekend cals and such....haha

Lol. You'll be alright bro. I don't think you give yourself as much credit as you should.
 
Quad dominant today. Hip and knee pain still on point....lol hoping it will just dissipate soon. Still a good session

Leg press: 7 pps +25 x 12, 8 plates per side x 12, +10 x 9, +10 more x 6, 4 plates per +25 3 second negative

Barbell hacksquat (I use 35lb plates to increase range of motion): 185x8, 205x8, 225x8

Had to save a little bit because I finally tried squats again. Front squats and only 135x8, but I just wanted to feel the exercisr again. I will take a pic of my new set up to see if it is in line with general guidelines. I pointed my toes out more and went a little outside shoulder with. Will slowly break this back in I think. Pain was minimal enough to try again

Leg extensions: 165x10, 180x10, 195x10, 150x10 2 second peak contraction hold each rep

Other than the confidence robbing knee pain, a good session

D@mn right it was!
 
I overslept yesterday so that made today chest/back superset day. It started off well enough...

Incline barbell press/behind-the-neck pull-ups +15 lbs: 175x7/5+3+2, 180x4/4+3+3, 155x8/3+2+2, 155x7/3+2+1

Started off alright enough. Moved to reverse grip press/ bent over row superset and severe pain in the front of my right shoulder cut my sets WAY short. It didn't feel natural. The rest of the time was thrown off trying to find chest exercises that would cooperate to no avail. I am going to pick up a tennis ball this weekend and see if it is something I can roll out
 
Shoulders this morning. Normally shoulders and tris, but I only had about a half hour or so this morning

Z-press: 115x8, 125x7, 135x6, 140x4, 105x9 with a 2 second pause at the bottom. Killed it from last week. I felt stronger than usual this morning

Did this bent-arm lateral exercise I found on lifted67 awesome shoulder rehab thread. New exercise, wasn't too concerned with weight although it felt pretty awesome. 4 sets

Tried close-grip bench, but 135 was too much for the front of my shoulder. I am going to work on it this weekend and maybe skip next weeks chest training to give it some time to heal

That was it. Pressed for time but happy about the z-press

Great session today. Quad dominant once more. This guy got some front squats in. It took a lot of pain on leg press and accepting the pain, but I got front squats in pain-free. I don't know how long it'll be before I can start with them and I won't know how it really felt until tomorrow, but I consider this morning a victory.

Leg press: 8 plates per side x12, +10x11, +10x9, +5 x5, 5 plates per side x16 with 3 second negative each rep

Front squat: 135x8, 145x8, 155x8. Not my old 225 for reps but I will take it! Gotta start back somewhere

Barbell hack squat/standing calf raise superset: 185x8/3 plates per side x16 w/5 second negative each rep. Did this for 3 reps with less calf raises each time

Leg extensions: 180x12, x10, 150x8 2 second pause at the top of each rep

Good day even the my first leg press set my hip felt like I had fire going on

Side note: started to squat barefoot again. I forgot how much I like that
 
Sidenote 2: just as I said I don't have to deal with a lot of stupidity in the gym, I had to deal with the dreaded curler in the squat rack. I was so ready to try again and just as I finish my last set, he starts fcking curling in the damn squat rack. Just swinging the shyt outta 65lbs and 85lbs. The whole time he had his head turned to the side, eye-fcking his 13 inch cannons. The best part? he had on a long sleeve shirt I fck you not.....I will never understand...

Wow. He must be a badass. We must learn from this man....so we know how to not be a complete douchebag.

He is a complete tool. He is supposedly a personal trainer. If he ever tried to tell how to do something, I would have to say "fck you dude"
 
Afternoon fckers! LOL good morning this morning. Woke up not feeling my strongest, but hip and knee were good. Did chest, started with barbell incline press.

Barbell incline press: 175x7, 180x4+1,'155x4 2 second pause at the bottom, 155x3 2 second pause at the bottom + 2 straight reps. Was a little disappointed at 1st, then realized this was the second time of hitting chest in a week. A little happier...haha

Moved onto reverse grip barbell press

Reverse grip barbell press: 185x5, 195x3, 205x1, 215x1! Been a long time since I have felt inclined to go that high on this movement, especially with my elbow and shoulder issues. Real happy

Dumbbell press: 85x5, 70x9, 60x7 30-45 seconds between sets

Incline flyes/pushup superset: 40x10/5, 40x9/3 chest was SPENT as you can see from the sorry pushup numbers....haha

Good day for the most part

Got to love that guy. wait till he f'ups his spine and you wont have to see his for 6 weeks! "eye-fcking his 13 inch cannons" I will have to remember this one. would have come in handy a few times. My wife was squatting the other day and some Di'ck head tried to take over the rack. I saw it this time and enabled him to wait till my wife was done. told him he could work in with her but I don't think this guy works legs! usually she just walks away. "she doesn't want to start trouble"

He probably wanted to curl :D

But you were ready to, weren't ya?!?! I've said it several times before, but the older I get, the less tolerant I am of shyt heads and douchebags. I'm guessing you and I are in the same boat, right?

That's when you tell him if he doesn't back off your bride hes going to force you to use him as keg toss practice for the Highland games. No tolerance from this guy.
 
Back day today. Decided to start pushing row strength because it seems like the stronger I get in them, the stronger I am in everything else

Bent-over-rows: 205x7, 215x6, 225x5, 175x6 with a 2 second hold at the top of each rep. Been awhile since I have tried 225. Felt good

Behind-the-neck pullups +15 lbs: 5+3+2, 4+2+2, 3+2+2, one set to the front for 6

Rack dumbbell rows: 85x10, 95x9, 105x7

Straight arm lat pulldowns

Good day overall
 
Shoulders and tris today fellas. Got a late start. Wife wanted to hang out because I have been working a ton. So I didn't get to the gym until about 6. Still an awesome session.

Z-press: 125x8, 135x7, 145x4, 125x5+3+2, 105x8 2 second pause at the bottom

Laterals: 30x8, 30x8, 25x10

Rear laterals: 20x10 for 3 sets slow through each rep

Reverse grip/overhand pressdown extended: 2 sets 100x10/8
