Training log revamp ROUND 3 lol

Both of those variations would work well I think. If your diets clean enough you may not have to drop calories and lose strength in order to get to 220 " with abs,"

When I say 230 with abs I'm talking about ripped abs, not visible abs. I'm 213-214 currently and my abs are more visible now then they were a month ago @208Invalid Link Removed
Obviously I'm far from ripped at the moment but om getting leaner it seems, pretty sure i can easily gain 10 more and still be visible. I got a feeling when I turn the gas on I'm gonna get a little leaner too.

I've noticed over the past few years when I make myself say something out loud or tell other ppl I'm gonna accomplish something I usually deliver. Makes me a little more responsible to get to the end goal so I don't look like a fool orca liar, whatever works lol
 
Orca or not, I get it. I sometimes use that kind of tactic as well, if I feel uncertain if I can accomplish something or go through with the process needed. I'll say it out loud to people or make 'bold' claims, so I can't back down anymore.
 
Why don’t you try some RDLs in the 8-12 rep range? You will build a lot of low back endurance in a fairly safe range, while building hams and erectors better than heavy deadlift work. You will lay the base that will let you deadlift heavier safer later if you choose to, and still directly support your leg size goals no matter what.

My RDLs were super weak it turned out, and I brought them up like 80lbs recently and it really improved my general low back health.

I've done rdls for years. Nothing helps my lower back. It's a reoccurring injury from my early 20s

Everyone is gonna be pissed when they Get home and find out that I use an entire pound of deli meat to make one sandwich 😆

Haha I demolished a sandwich with 12oz deli chicken breast, 2 slices of pepperjack, w/ 10 pretzel crisps on it for added texture last night. Then had an apple and a few servings of hummus with 3 mission street taco tortillas. Was soo good!

How did you manage to get that beast in your mouth tho? I had to damn near detach my jaw to get my sammich in my mouth without an extra piece of bread in it.

I have to do this sometimes too. I found in some reading on ADHD that this is pretty common for people with ADHD. Not saying you all have it but it helps people with ADHD to have a deadline that forces them to feel pressure to complete a task in order to get there executive decision making engaged to perform. We tend to require a little self imposed pressure applied to get things done.

I don't have adhd, I'm usually pretty calm and chill till I get to the gym and attempt bench press records after a grappling match and get side tracked trying to catch stray kittens on my way home before I remember I left my water bottle at the gym, what are we talking about?

I don’t give a **** about your low back comfort, I’m just talking about gains

There’s a reason many bodybuilders do them; just consider trying to push them is all I’m asking. You don’t have to throw the baby out with the bath water - just because you getting carried away with powerlifting on deadlifts usually ends poorly doesn’t mean some smith RDLS couldn’t put some bigger hams on you.
 
Today's workout. Dropped the shoulder stuff today since I had a good delt pump yesterday. Added a Smith press before my normal first exercise. Felt good and then proceeded to beat the log book across the board again. 👌

We're on 2 completely different pages. There was no context to your post so I thought you were talking about my low back issues with deadlifts.

I've been prioritizing hams more then quads lately as is. Mostly with Seated and laying ham curls but I've been mixing other stuff in there too. Next time a exercise stalls IL replacevitvwith RDLS. Rdl and sldl are usually part of my leg workouts. They will both come back in as training progresses. My hamstrings are strong from a strengthstandpoint, But the muscle is definitely visibly underdeveloped for sure.
I don't understand your throw out the baby witj the bathwater reference. That would make sense if I refused to do rdls, but I do them most of the year. Just not currently at this moment in time

It sounded like you meant you’ve already tried them for years so it’s not something you’d be willing to focus on. When I raised mine up so much, I can tell you they were the top lower body accessory for 2 months straight, and mentally that was the basket I was putting my eggs in, hypertrophy wise.

Got ya, ya I just swapped out a lot of exercises I normally do with machines for a while and it's really been working good for me. The only problem is many of these life fitness machines don't go super heavy and I'm already close to maxing some of them out. Laying ham curl for legs is only 2 plates from being maxed out and when it does, IL add a RDLS or SLDL back and then Laying ham curl will be the second exercise in the rotation.

I've always avoided machines and that's why I think I'm actually making progress right now, because of the new stimulus from new exercises

Yea I think you'll be able to gain 10 more and stay just as lean as you are right now. Dude i tried blood oranges..not my thing..and thr color does kinda freak me out which makes no sense considering I stick a needle in my body everyday. I don't know if you can get Cara Cara oranges out there but those are the best by far.

Cara Cara are the ones I usually get, very juicy. but I perfer the blood orange if the price is reasonable. Maybe I just like the color lol

No hate for blood oranges, but I’m Team Cara Cara here. Probably have one eod - usually juicier and better flavor more consistently here.

Navel oranges are a crapshoot at best for quality here, even the “premium” ones.

I have never had a blood orange and not sure if i have ever had a Cara Cara either. I used to love navels but they have gotten to where they taste watered down, probably due to overfarming or something. So have been sticking with Cuties / Mandarins since they seem to always have flavor but not always available. Where are you all finding all these other options like a whole foods or something?

I have to say I think when a blood orange is perfectly ripe there the best but usually a bag is 50/50. The Cara Cara are definitely the most consistent. The only thing I prefer over all of these are clementines

Yep, that is what I was referring to as Mandarine / Cuties. I love those things! Sweet and tart, just so damn good!!!! Plus easy to peel!
 
I am fasting right now and the mere thought of them has my mouth watering.

Cara Caras are a crapshoot here at the grocery stores I'm Cali. My dad has a tree in the backyard that usually produces 20 good ones every November

Now we're talking. Next step, satsuma 🤤 Red grapefruit possibly my favorite though. Can be a little of a hassle to eat though.

This morning was legs, I wasn't feeling up to a leg workout so I mixed in a heavy press and some fluff work for delts to get a little extra satisfaction.

Worked up to 315 on squats for 3 sets of 5. Easily could have done 3 seats of 8 so IL build up to sets of 12 before adding weight. I did some rdls because of yesterday's conversation and it fried my lower back to where I had to stop and do lying leg curls to get thecrest of the volume. I think IL put the rdls as a finisher for now so I can work them in a little without compromising the rest of the workout. I finished legs with Bulgarian split squats.

I'm gonna probably hit arms tomorrow and do legs again Monday because I feel like I didn't do enough work. I'm also gonna spend tomorrow making needed adjustments to my diet and training.

Had a random person walk up to me and ask for advice on a few exercises and casually snuck in the "are you taking something right now" which I lied and said no buy I also said I'm bout to start so it's kinda a half lie? Idk. I've always felt it's no1s business. If the person is a regular at the gym and has been trying hard I'm more likely to talk about drugs vs. Some random 145lb 50 year old guy I never seen before
 
Gear still hasn't arrived. Hopefully it comes this week and IL start it probably the 20th.

My bday is the 19th and I plan on getting some ass, multiple times.... lol. So in the back of my mind I don't want any nandrolone in me till after that lol🤷‍♂️
 
I don’t see it as anyone’s business seems kinda bold to just randomly ask someone that. Looking ripped and strong man!!
I prefer the chocolate oranges, you know the ones you can get around Christmas time that you hit on the counter and they make little slices. 😂😂

I can totally appreciate this. Nandrolone for me is basically saying “I don’t really care about my sex life for now”. Even if I take a bunch of mast, it’s not going to be as good, plain & simple.

^Great candy. Not like in a quality way, I just like chocolate orange flavor.
 
I tend not to tell people about gear if I can tell they have no business with it or aren’t going to do it anyway. Like if I can see by your total lack of effort and results that you half ass everything, I don’t want you to assume that this is the answer, because it will just cost you health and still not deliver.

With kids who seem like they’re already SARMing or about to, I try to take a harm reduction/educational approach and also point them towards YouTube channels I trust to put out more mindful info.

I could use some fluff work for satisfaction as well, bumping up the test and eating anadrol ED gas my libido running like a Kenyan marathon runner. It just won't quit. I may have to go to an Asian massage parlor once I bump the test to 750 while adding tren and mast. Asians aren't my thing but at that point I don't think its gonna matter

You may have mentioned this, but where’d you get your Epistane? It was one of my favorite things I’ve run id like to try it again sometime.

also random question maybe @Smont or @Hyde may know, finally switching from UGL to an RX for test, but the delivery was left outside in the low 30s for 1.5 days because I was out of town lol - I know the vial says store above 68F but that wasn’t super long and it never actually got to freezing. Doesn’t appear to have fallen out or anything. Also hoping this helps some of the acne I’m getting.

I also like talking about food and ya, definitely a great movie.

For nandrolone (deca/npp) it doesn't give me ed, nothing does really. But it definitely lowers libido a little so that I want it less often. Like, I still can perform and want it, but not as much. So for the mental part of it I'd rather just start the npp after that day.

Got it from a member here. It was from his stash and not a recent purchase I believe. I actually don't see epistane around very often
 
I guess I'm not big into fruit flavors with chocolate. I like chocolate with nuts (no homo) I love mint chocolate and peanut butter chocolate. Chocolate with banana is good (no homo x2). But not a fan of berries and Citrus fruits with chocolate

It will give me ED is DHT isn’t kept way higher, but even then when it all works great it just mentally doesn’t really matter very much. I’m just trying to do my husbandly duties and don’t really enjoy finishing the same even. It’s really more like apathy towards sex, is what it is.

Yeah I would be down for all of those. I basically go for chocolate + anything.

Maybe not with ham though.
