Being sick sucks, I've only just started feeling "normal" again after a week and a half. Being in pct makes it even worse.

Congrats big guy on the new pad and the new life. Divorce sucks but it's also a chance at a new and improved life. Looking good in here. Keep improving. Best of things in life to you!
 
Never too sick to train shoulders :P . Another thing...I'm kinda glad that I don't have a really nice weight setup at home cause I would probably over train :) thought about that just now lol.

some would already consider you to be overtraining
I push the boundaries myself, could def benefit from some addtl rest periods I am sure

Taking an extra rest day today actually.

Woke up at 214 after yesterday and the limited food, so I'm gonna get me some good dense foods in today.
 
I think the 2 month squat program I completed recently really hosed my left knee. Probably need to go down to 1 lower body day/wk for a while but I can't get myself to leave the power routine for a body part split right now :( Is it overtraining if you love doing it? Depends on if the results are the only thing that matters I guess, or if there's something to be said for the process itself.

Glad you're feeling better Snags. Being sick blows, especially when it disrupts training/eating.

thanks my friend - lucky for me, it never disrupted my appetite or training endeavors, wasn't that kind of bug (almost nothing can kill my appetite lol)

as for overtraining: sure is :) doesn't matter how you slice it, overtraining is overtraining, and will result in a loss of ability to recover/add fresh muscle after too long
yeah I would never be able to handle that kind of load to my wheels tbh, knees need more down time than that to bounce back





quick basic boulder session:
6x15/12/12/10/10/8 seated BB military press
3x12 laterals
3x12 bent laterals
3x12 behind-back shrugs

pretty decent session for being so abbreviated

game plan taking shape for tweaking the routine after this week..
will combine triceps with shoulder day, and biceps with back day, to drop down to a 4-day rollover (instead of 5 day split w/ 2 off days)
I like the transition, will work up to getting some nice volume going as conditioning/muscle memory comes back

No fun without the snagelicious work outs and stuff.
Click to expand...
thanks bro
no snagelicious workouts yet tho - still breaking back into the flow here


but -- the flow is started to flow, indeed..felt pretty decent and in-shape training the back today

6 sets abs
6x15/12/12/10/10/8 bent BB rows
4x12 pulldowns to front
4x12/12/10/10 1-arm pulley rows

aaaand out
got some update pics coming soon, nothing special but just showing the shape these days before I start ramping things up again

The basics usually work best.....

Do you still use the ab wheel sometimes?

I got a couple for you to try.
Physio ball pikes. (Take super cool yoga ball and put your shins on it while in the push-up position. Bring feet into your hands so that you're on your toes on the ball, basically in a pike position. Repeat a lot of times.)
And toes to bar. Sucky.

you really should have put a vid on that, very tough to explain that movement
vid references that this is #1 ab-development movement, scientifically validated
huh

Is that a fcuking game cube?
Click to expand...
it is
when I got divorced, I got the cube & the sega, and the ex (and my son) took the xbox 3 and the wii

whattya gonna do?
only time I ever play anymore is with him anyway, so no big deal to me

I usually try to provide videos but that one got past me because I was so excited to share. Not sure on the claims of it being the bestest exercise in the history of forever though. I do know that I'm sore from it.
I'd rather have the cube and the sega anyway. Not sure if it's the dreamcast or the genesis, but either way it's a win.
 
is genesis .. system had some good old-school games, and I never get tired of sonic
agreed, was really a no-brainer imo - I hate the wii anyway, and only thing I really miss on xbox is COD
if I wanna play bad enough and no friends are available, I just go over there to ex's and play
I mean i'm making her damn mortgage pymt anyway (in child support), I should have free run of the joint too right?

:p
 
Impressive impressive.

I'm gonna go to the drawing board and solve your an conundrum..... it's not a size thing cause obviously they are big but they just didn't have that 3d effect.......hrrrrmmmm
 
been slacking on food pics, so let's rectify that injustice

I wondered where you disappeared to
welcome back


getting ready to get into some training here shortly..altho it is chest day, thinking i'll change things up and hit multiple bodyparts today, decide on the fly what they will be here shortly..got couple demos to do tomorrow, will be gone all day and have to leave semi-early so will not be training

considering a floating rotation going forward anyway, matching differing bodyparts daily (but hitting everything equally), just to keep things interesting and refreshing..or, maybe even bringing some DC-ish type training into the equation (not sure i'm ready for that kind of intensity yet tho)

it's a bit different, I like it a lot but it's been a long while since I rolled it out
very intense, if done correctly you WILL get some nice growth out of it
(of course I make my own modifications, but the basic program itself is sufficient to run as is)

Another one for me to look up and examine/attempt at some point. That is one thing I love about this lifestyle, you never stop learning / implementing new things, strategies.
