Oh and also, I notice now i'm barely getting sore/not getting sore. It's been just about 1 month on the higher volume approach and now i feel my body is more conditioned. It's awesome too because now i know if i add more my body will adapt to the increased amount of work/training. Once college starts i think i will start 2x a week i feel i'll be ready then, which is about in another month. So basically 1 day off for the week and 2-3 hour sessions 6x a week. At this point i will be bulking and eating 5000+ calories, I'm very very excited for this but even more excited to see how i progress this month.
what are you taking in college?
how old are you?
Well right now i'm going for Auto Technology but if i had it my way i would have gotten something like nutritional science or personal training. I'm too far into finishing Auto to change over now and it sucks.
I'm 21.
Don't stress it Brotha, just finish out your degree/training in automotive and then try and get a job in that field while continuing school part-time or full-time whatever you can handle or afford! I'm 37yrs old I have my bachelors in Microbiology, with a double minor in Chemistry & Psychology and my Doctorate in Chiropractic.... and I'm not using any of it, LoL! I am currently about 1/3-1/2 the way through acquiring my bachelors in Nursing part-time (nights & weekends program), then when I'm done with that I plan to continue on to attain my DNP (doctorate in Nurse Practitioning) and then hopefully I'll finally be done... I mean as long as I don't die of old age first, LoL!
Alright this factory pissed me off today because they completely took advantage of me and started breathing down my neck to keep up the pace. Just to give you an idea today i probably did 2-3x what i did yesterday and i at LEAST burned double the calories. At first i was moving fast to help get things going BUT then they kept at that pace feeding me more and more parts. The one thing that really takes me to the edge is when these foreman guys come up and say we need x amount (which is usually completely unrealistic) and expect us to come up with it. Plan ahead you arrogant ****s we're people and not machines, Maybe you should have more people working instead of beating the few employees with all of the ass end of ****. I'm so glad this place is temporary, i'm putting it on my list of "NO" when they ask if i want to go back there.
endrant.
Feeling ya Bro, sometimes it just helps to rant a little and get it out of your system, I know I don't mind and am certainly not impervious to a few rants myself, LoL!
Yeah i'm really hoping today is the last day i'm there, My temp services called me and asked if i was asked to come back today and i said yes but i don't like the working conditions. She told me thanks for sticking through it, i plan to work at my own pace today and if they don't like it then too bad. I know i won't like every place they send me to so i guess i should have expected this.
Unfortunately that seems to be a trend these days with the economy being the way it is, employers now have no loyalty to their employees what-so-ever, they want the most over qualified, hardest working person ever, for next to nothing! It is really starting to get sad!
Also goes to show you brains pay you better and you get to sit in AC all day![]()
I'm still under-paid considering my qualifications though! Now let me be clear, FINAFLEX pays me well and takes great care of me, what I mean by that statement is... I'm not making the money I expected to make when graduating Chiropractic school.

Hey man Ive been following your log for a while and totalling enjoying the change your going through.
your pretty honest on your thread too talking about your goals very cool to read
keep up the good work I can see the progress
Thanks for following! I try to set lofty goals to test my work ethic and mentality as well as hopefully achieving them. I think my real progress is gonna shine this winter! Glad to see people are jumping on board with this log, Keep up the hard work and set whatever goals you put your mind to and you'll achieve them!.![]()
I must say that your mentality and work ethic are quite impressive. I don't even want to talk about what I was doing when I was 21. Keep killing it bro!
tell me about it at 21 I was leaving a dead end job at a glass factory going in the Army already married with a kid and one on the way -> that didnt work out so well![]()
For my workout today i noticed a few things:
Finaflex N.O. Ignite gave me a better pump than any other Pre-workout so far.
Using a thumb-less grip with wide grip made me feel it more in my lats but as a result i didn't improve in weight/reps.
Today's workout felt very good, When i did an exercise i literally felt what i was supposed to be working. (Posting it tomorrow)
I also think maybe my pull-ups didn't improve because of the heavy SLDL's done on leg day? I was feeling it in my back, i don't quite understand how lats work in the SLDL but can someone enlighten me?
taman6886 said:I may be mistaken and confident that I will be corrected if I am. I know that traditional deadlifts work the entirety of the back, so it would not be that surprising if there was some lat involvment with SLDL. I think it is more likely that it was the stress the SLDL's placed on your erectors which IIRC, act as a stablizer during pull ups.

Definitely lat involvement. I think even more so with RDLs or SLDLs.
Just a question here for ya tiny. I know you are going hard and that is cool, but do you have any thoughts on working a deload into your training at some point?
Well i guess you could say i am right now a little bit since i lowered the weights and started concentrating on mind/muscle style training. But i have no intentions of taking a break unless i absolutely have to so we'll see how the next few weeks go.
Ton of volume. I do a feel set or two after my heavy sets. Feel is very important
keep up the good work Quagmeyer +0
I really can't wait to go to heavy duty training along with this training. I put Quagmeyer in there because of the 69 sets haha
About to post today's workout now!
haha on the quag
I feel you on heavy duty hitt training . I ll only do this kind if training when my body tells me I am ready to do it and that comes though expirience as you gain insight I called it PLE- Performance, learning, and excellence something I got out of a book i read called the inner game of stress. Google PLE if interested its an exercise for the mind you can use for just about any challange
Nice log son. Definitely will be posting here a lot.
Thanks! Glad to have you on board![]()
Agreed, I just started a log so hopefully that will kick my ass in to gear.
It's in the log section. I'm posting from my phone so can't link![]()
