I need to get out of my rut and back in my groove. Too much Life bs in my head and it’s affecting sleep and training. PWO doesn’t even phase me at all right now. Stim break time I’ve been overdoing it. Dunno wtf, I need to get my life together. Postponing fictional pin cycle until I’m 100% (decided to be sensible and research 600 mg test E per week solo when I get it going).

Life can get mean.
If your thoughts are spinning around particular persons, causing stress, remember: "They live in your head without paying rent." Throw them out.

Thanks. At least strength is still lurking, unlike my weight. Down to 209 the past week.

Time for some of those Coldstone Chocolate PB shakes again!!!

I have been eating a lot of rice and ground beef lately and it’s definitely got me feeling thicker.

Tis the season . I’ll have to treat myself more often than not.
 
I do have to say that since adding in Williams extensions my medial triceps have gotten quite thick. If I can notice it then it’s definitely working well. Love this movement.
Are these the ones where you have elbows flared and you bring the ends of the dumbell flat on your chest?

Skwaats

Speed box squats vs avg green bands choked, 30 sec rest:
55x10 warms
145x5 warms
235x2x12

Left it at this. I have many many stairs ahead of me for the duration of the night.
 
That’s what I’m hoping. Last night I definitely indulged in the coveted “third dinner”

Remember, if trying to add calories:

-Liquid calories are not filling. Shakes, juices, milk, sugar soda/energy drinks
-Condiments add up fast. Butter, cheese, mayo, oils, nut butter, jams
-More processed food is less filling, ie mashed potatoes over sliced, ground meat over whole, white rice over fibrous whole grain

Basically all the opposites of trying to control bodyweight. These are to be used when hunger becomes an obstacle and you’re already eating enough meals and getting enough protein. Implement these slowly as need demands.

Chicken breast, baked potato, broccoli takes effort to eat. Chicken thighs with mashed potatoes with shredded cheese on top and collard greens with butter and a glass of chocolate milk and a pbj sandwich would go down easier and quadruple the calories. Proceed with caution.

Kneel high pulley single arm cable curl:

Smith reverse drag curl (a @hairygrandpa original):
95x10
145x8x2

Been curious on this with both of you and HGP now, is that 145 in weight only, or are you counting the bar too? Smith machines should be counter balanced to pretty much zero out. Either way it is an impressive set of curls!

One of these days I will need to try to do those things out of necessity and not just desire... My calories don't often get high enough I have to indulge, but I often do for the enjoyment of it. I pretty much top out at about 3500 in a bulk and can start getting soft quickly if I push it.
 
*changed mk dosing. Now going 10 mg every 12 hrs as opposed to 20 mg nightly*
How are you going bloat-wise?

I started mk, 25mg nightly, last week and every night I am so fucking swollen up in the gut I'm struggling to sit on the floor and play with my kids.

Most guys wouldn’t need any of these; this is pretty much for people working in heat or kids that haven’t learned how to eat to build muscle yet and have high metabolisms.

I don’t really think this is as ideal as all clean food, but they are tricks to get things moving.

Yeah, if I want to eat after training it almost has to be cold and sweet. Other than that eating "clean" or cleanish is going to be better for most. Composition wise doesn't matter too much but when you bring health into it then other things start to matter a lot more.

I count the bar as 15kg (30lbs). Reverse drag curls I do on heavy days with 1x45 plate each side, about 120lbs for a set of 10.
BTW, this @SkRaw85 dude is an animal, he outlifts me in almost anything but pull ups, just like @Hyde , thinking about that fact, I gonna hang myself from the balcony now. Bye. :)

I am assembling a nice shopping list for today. Will definitely be throwing more into the mix. And tacos, tacos rule.

Oops yeah I just counted it as regular 45 lb barbell. Never really use smith much except those drag curls and reverse shrugs.

Lol. That’s how it is the first few days I start but then it fades. I’ve been on about 9 months now I believe, the dosing schedule change has not affected me bloat or otherwise. Just a little more hunger spike.

34 yr old HGP would make us all look silly in the gym

Well, assuming he lifted

At 34? I was a fat tadpole. Only belly -and a long tail. ;)
Today is arms, gonna put more weight on the smith. Can't live with that shame. SkRaw85 counted the bar as 45lbs, will do too.
145lbs x8x2 would set the record straight. Gonna do them at the end of workout, like he did.

45xwarms and stretches
*put on bands*
135x3 paused
225x3 paused
275x1
295x1 PR
315xfail
Ive never tested heavy singles against bands on bench. 295 moved easy as pie, I was sure I’d nail 315 but got stuck halfway Comin up. 1rm prob around 305, which would make sense, as I believe the bands add 100 lbs at top of movement and 1rm is 405 (going to smash this very soon, long overdue)

BB JM press:
135x10x2

DB Williams extensions:
40’sX10,9

Damn dude....305 against bands!!
 
Doubled red EFS minis on bench is about 80lbs with reasonably fresh bands for most arm lengths from pegs or dbs.

My best is 230x2 against them I believe.

If you’re missing ~395 at the top and you can really lockout 405 right now, you just need to get faster off the chest! If you’re not as sure, then I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion though. Training food for thought

I knew it was somewhere in there. Monster minis 100 at top then? I could def TnG 405 but I dunno if I could proper pause it. It’s Comin back tho. Best to date was 405 for 2 TnG. Trest-tacular!
