Today was a variety type workout. Haven't done shrugs in a while but I figured it would be a good stress test for my shoulder. Was a good workout overall.

Thanks! How is the shedding going?

Not bad. My diet, work and bring sic this week is really holding me back. I leave for 1 on1 time with wife tomorrow. Rekindling the fire... That's what it called right? 10yr anniversary and some much needed alone time.

Truthfully I need more help from a PT or someone experience d to workout with. I think I need more body mass in my upper body to make my chest have definition and strict diet/mass to see these abs.

I like following your log cause your workouts show progress.

Be very selective if you try to find a PT. I never used one before because a lot of them are just there for the check. The good ones are hard to find but can really make a difference. Thanks for following too! Been working my butt off.

How do you like the bcaa saa combo. I had a few samples not enough to judge effectiveness though?

I'm convinced. Recovery time is drastically reduced.

This. A lot of people don't believe in SAA's but I've been using them for a while now and I'm a firm believer that they do aid in recovery quite dramaticly.
 
Back went good today. Changed the order of my lifts some so I could hit rows heavier. Worked pretty well :)

Make up day for chest. My outer pecs are supps from the dumbbell pullovers yesterday. Good stuff :p
 
Well I went in today to make up for stopping my chest workout the other day when my shoulder freaked out. Warmed up and felt good but my first set on flat bench testing it under a bit of a load didn't feel good at all. Dropped the weights dramatically today and hit higher reps with two count contractions.

Good Pump though

I see that you didn't do much volume today. Looks like only 374 reps. Better luck next time.
 
Well against my better judgement I decided to train today which is five days in a row. Arms were pretty weak after the back day then chest day. Got some decent work in just a little less weight then normal.

Yeah that looks like a real lite and easy workout!! LOL Still beastly if you ask me..

Just didn't have that power today....kind of dragging compared to normal. Rest day is gonna be awesome :p
 
Just laid out at the pool for about an hour and a half. Luckily I avoided getting sun burnt too. I never really tan but I get a nice shade of red:p was sweating a ton though....this Texas humidity stinks.

It's a constant struggle for me. Last year I actually got something resembling a tan but it was short lived lol.

Lol your head probably burns pretty easily! Better cover that bad boy up

I actually put a towel over my head to avoid this. It burnt pretty bad one time when I first shaved it to the point of having huge scabs. Yeah it's gross but it taught me a good lesson :)
 
I just had my oatmeal delight.....half cup oatmeal, splenda and two tbsp natural peanut butter. I looooove this stuff!

Dinner was two chicken breasts and nothing else since I was gonna have the oatmeal.

Sounds good dude. I do something pretty similar and love it. 1/2 cup steel cut oats, Splenda, cinnamon, and 1 tbs of almond butter. It's fuggin awesome!
 
Oh its good stuff. But like most of my other meals iits usally the same stuff. Chicken and rice. Tuna and rice. Oatmeal. Mesquite Chicken. Teriaki chicken. My wife hates ALL of those foods now lol. She can tell what I'm making as soon as I open whatever bag/cup it is. She has a keen sense of smell :)
 
Well fellas off to bed. Downed my nightly G8 and BCAA+SAA about twenty minutes ago. Feel on top of the world!
 
Had a very rare two day rest this weekend. Lifted Friday morning then spent Friday Saturday and Sunday at the pool with the wife and kids. Although I escaped a sunburn the first two days yesterday I got a liittle crispy on my stomach and calves. I never really tan but I get a decent shade of red :) Work this morning and hopefully I can get to the gym this afternoon and get some work in. Diet this weekend was pretty bad but the family time more then made up for it :)

Alright guys. Weight gain seems to have stalled. Might be time to make a training change. Let's hear some suggestions. New programs or changes to current FST7 program. Madcow might be the leading candidate right now.

5k calories a day with maybe two shakes a day. Can't hardly eat any more! Lol.

If you want the bulk shake recipe here it is from what I can remember. Drink this post workout, eat a little later. 2-3 cups whole milk, 1 serving monster mass, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 2 tbsp olive oil or other, 4 tbsp peanut butter add more milk if you need. I think that's it. I put on a lot of mass eating like that back in the day.

Wake up and eat big. Eat big before bed too. Full meal at 10-11.

What were you training? I'd hit some 5-3-1 I forget if you have. My deadlift is exploding on it.

Add ice cream to all your shakes. My favorite part of bulking
 
Legs are wrecked this morning. I decided to keep plugging along with my current program for now. High volume has always yielded the best results for me so I'm gonna stick with it for a while longer. Going to change a couple things though. Rep ranges will be between 8-10 on all lifts including FST sets. Thinkk I might be cheating myself with the high reps on fst. Also might change some of the fst exercises. Gonna disect the program a little more later today.
