strong workouts man! you switching to 5/3/1?
No just kind of throwing it in here and there. It is a nice way to lift. I like 531 on some lifts more than others. For squat it is pretty good and the same with press. Hell I dont usually do standing press unless it is 531. For bench 531 is ok. I dont like it for deadlift. In fact I forgot to log a back workout where I did 531 for deadlifts only did 460 for 9 reps which is a pitiful estimated 600 max. Doesnt look like I will be hitting 700 anytime soon.
With that said I definitely look better. Getting closer to looking better without a shirt on than with. Still got a ways to go. It is hard as hell making 250 at 5'7" look good haha.
Since I will be looking to build muscle more I think I will be adding intra workout carbs. Gaspari's Glycofuse has caught my eye. Will add some protein with it. Along with bcaas and creatine. Figure my workouts will be more intense on cycle. Time to GROW(more)!
Also plan on picking up some new protein. Should only aid in my growth.
Thinking I will try and pick up foam roller too.
Yeah, you tried hitting me up earlier with my intra-carb knowledge, unfortunately I'm limited there, but I believe Chris - MrKleen73 has some good knowledge in that arena... try hitting him up. As far as BCAA's are concerned, you absolutely must give our new FINAFLEX BCAA's try with the Silk Aminos (SAA's), Wow, they are AWESOME Bro!!! They taste amazing too!
I've been out of AM for a long time, school work, and writing, I entered a contest and I've made it to the top 5... Glad to see your still killing it...lol
Another damn good workout. Felt pretty good. Strength wasnt too bad. I am sure I could get more on bench but I blew 2 loads on incline and decline. Think I will start the M-Sten on Thursday. Tomorrow I will take a rest day.
I think I have figured out my routine set up for this run. Seems like it should flow well.
Got some pictures taken this morning. It was a girl from a while back. The one from the bonfire with the boyfriend. Seeing yourself in pictures can suck haha. She didn't seem to mind helping me. But she did post on facebook that she was helping me didn't say with what. Texted her later thanking her and saying I might ask her to do it again later. Got no reply back and that facebook status is no longer there haha.
To make things more awkward. The 4 of them from the bonfire are leaving for a cruise tonight 3am. I talked to my friend Michael about going and playing black ops 2 over his house tonight. The girl and her boyfriend will be staying there so they can travel for the cruise. Pretty sure I wont be going over there haha. My friend Michael even asked what she was talking about on facebook via text.
mattrag said:haha, thx for the laugh! Still killing it eh man!
Love the workouts, motivate!
hella strong man. You even got mattrag to poke his ugly head!
It's the mental edge of being on dude. I swear. I know what you mean. Nice workout.
Oi!
Just be ugly though right?![]()
At least I'll be shredded lol.
Man, est 615 deadlifts... Nuts man... My max conventional deadlift is like 365... I doubt I could do 315 anymore though.
Your 300 above my max! Keep killing it, and let us know what the m-sten adds.
Ya there was no complaining about what we were lifting. "More close grip bench? Sounds good to me" plus I added fat gripz to everything. Putting that old(43) man through hell haha. After using them today he said he was going to buy some.
I cant wait to lift back tomorrow. Shouldnt do deadlifts but who knows. Will be more of a hypertrophy day. I like the idea of doubling up on back for this cycle at least for a short while.
615 isnt anything. I got 635 a little while back. Wish I could say that is where I started the cycle at. My overal max is 675 and I wish I could surpass that but it is unlikely in 4 weeks.
Also I had CRAZY pumps going. Need to see if I can get Jessica to take pics after a workout :sgrin:
Love working back 2x a week.
Do share the story if she does take them pix lol.
Ya it should be fun. Havent really tried it before.
She already came over to take the pics, but that was in the morning. Nothing "happened" but maybe a post workout pic session would be a little different. My back looked HUGE in one pic and I said how I needed to work on getting rid of my love handles. She said she needed to too so I went to grab hers... they didnt exist. She has a great body and I hope I can see more haha.
Feeling great today so I am going to do a pressing day. Bit of chest and shoulders.
Hope you had a great Christmas.
When I saw this pop up in my list I thought to myself I am going to be so far behind because I havent been there in a while. What a surprise... C'mon we need to hear more tales of possibilities and awkward moments.![]()
Looks good and 10 lbs of solid gains is always nice!
Happy new Tom![]()
Where you at man!
So bad ass!
It is so Ishmael haha.
A little more info. Even though I wasn't lifting I was still eating carbs just later at night. Kept assuming I was going to lift the next day. Not ideal when I am trying to recomp but didn't seem to hurt too much.
Todays workout was chest and biceps
Incline bb fat grips elect up to 325 drop to 245 and did some reps
Decline bb fat grips elect up to 345
It is odd that incline feels easier. Wrist and elbow bothered me some today. Not used to pressing this much for this long I guess. Nothing too bad but definitely more pronounced.
Db pullover 3 sets of 10 with 85
Lat pulldown 3 sets of 10
Db hammer curls 2 sets of 10 with 60s
Close grip underhand pulldowns psr
Standing db concentration curls 2 sets of 10 reps with 40
Rope triceps ext 4 sets of 10 elect
Not a bad workout but felt blah at the end. I can tell my body is getting tired of lifting all this weight. Tomorrow should be doing back. Might do some light deadlifts to warm up but that will be it for lower back. It definitely is inflamed bad. Icing it good tonight along with some tiger balm.
