Time to MonteGROW like a Finaflex Freak!

Happy birthday monster Monty!
 
Happy birthday BIG GUY! Enjoy it.
 
Happy b day big fella
 
Thanks for the birthday wishes! Had a great weekend but I had a garbage diet. Couple that with way to much drinking on my bday and its safe to say I still feel like crap :) holding a ton of water but that will be gone in a couple days. Back on the grind today with chest and some night cardio. No more cheating for this guy for a while :)
 
Woke up today down five of the 8lbs of water I put on over the weekend. Sweated a ton in the gym so tomorrow I should be back on weight. Yeah boy! Back work today.

Pull ups
Wide grip pull downs
Reverse grip Yates rows
Dumbbell rows
Meadows rows
Barbell pullover
 
Nice, it is always good when you flush that stuff out of your system and see the damage was minimal. Happy Belated Monty!

How do you like the meadows rows??? Never done them

I've done them before and want sure about Em. Tried a lighter weight today with a bit higher reps and they gave me a great pump. Will see how they continue doing.
 
I love the Meadows Rows, once you find the right angle for your hips. YOu have to kind of turn your hips away so that in the bottom of the movement if you completely hang you can feel them stretch all the way to your lower lats. Then you know you have the right angle. I have only done them at 8 reps myself.

Sounds harder and more complicated than page 82 of the original kama sutra
 
Yeah it sounds complicated but it really isn't and it feels great once you can do it well.
 
Woke up at 223. Legs are leaning up and the waist is coming in. Seems the night cardio is tightening me up pretty good as well. Smoked abs, calves and legs today. Gonna start logging my workouts again this week to keep a better eye on volume. Coming along!

Yea I thought you were taking a mini break from logging.
 
I took some much needed time off this weekend from everything except my wife. We had a great weekend without any kids or anything. No Internet no host just relaxation.

Hit the gym today for cheesy and logged the session for the first tune in a while. Strength loss is starting to treat is ugly head but it's nothing I wasn't expecting.

Thanks Dan. My strength is taking some these last two sessions but I think it might have more to do with my work schedule change then the cut. Went from afternoons and sleeping till 9-10 now I'm waking up at 5. Will see how it goes later in the week.

That work schedule change probably is guilty of your strenght loss...you strenght will come back soon;)

High volume as always...looks like fun...and hard work
 
Way to go Cpt. Crush! Don't stress the weights like you said probably has to do with your schedule change.
 
Took s chance tonight and had a medium sized salad with lettuce and spinach. It was awesome. Hopefully I don't pay for it tomorrow. Will post lifts shortly
 
Shoulders. Brutal stuff today. Pump was painful and I had to rest my arms in the racks to get the pain out between sets lol.

Guess you could say the way I do them now is more of a destroyer set in md with a bit higher raise. Used to be more of a reverse Fly with dumbbells sitting bent over on a shoulder press Bench.

That is a ton of work for shoulders. I may steal another one of your training days.
 
Nice lift Monte, no wonder you were aching with the pump!
 
Legs today.

Squats worked up to three sets of 365.0x8 2 sets of 225.0x10 followed by one set of 20 at 155.

Cybex squat with feet close. 280x10 for four sets.

Sldl with dumbbells 90's x 12 for four sets

Seated leg Extension 120 x 15 for seven sets.

Calves and abs at the end. Soaked with sweat. Light headed. Out of breath. Mission accomplished.
 
I've been sitting here for the past two hours waiting on my package from the supplement gods. Starting to get ansy!

You might want to consider chaining yourself to a wall. Last thing you need is to go hulk and tear your home up waiting for supps.

Lol. .. like a little kid doing the potty dance. Be sure to get a massive pump going and have your shirt off when he comes before you do it though.
 
Semi noooooods!
