I don't think I could maintain the strength on all that pushing. Leg day wears me out, and I don't feel like doing much of anything else.

Certainly!


Keep in mind a lot of times people hold water on clen and when they stop it whooshes right off and then they get to see all of the actual fat loss.

Once again, great info!
 
Wow Turff that's a lot of work hours! I sure hope that's calming down for you! You're steady killing it in the gym despite it all too! You go! I gained wait towards the end of my 2 weeks on the clen as well! It was weird!
 
Day 86 - ARMS

Everything seems to be going well! Seeing a little more leaning with the Clen now. Weight isn't dropping which is odd but as long as the bf drops then that's great! I also started my Test E last week and that seems to be going well, not much PIP and none yesterday.
Did my morning ritual of dosing and headed to the gym.

Very heavy arm work! Nice!! Those incline curls are called spider curls:

Thanks! I always thought spider curls were with the ez bar between your legs while in a seated position. Guess I was wrong so thanks!!
 
Love some spider curls. Haven't done them in a while.

Last time I checked Jefit didn't have them in the database.

They are in their database now. Try downloading the exercise database from settings. Turff, how do you like that nubble massager?
 
Your skull crushers always amaze me!!!

It is a speedy kind of thing if it were a sound you could relate too it would be the sound your tennis racquet makes as it slices through the air!

Nice work Turf!
 
Pounded those lats today Turff!
 
Rockin those lats! Heavy shrugs!
 
Thanks guys. Pushing heavy while reducing cals has been a bear but the body seems to be able to handle it. I must've got comfortable at the 3500-3700 cals because right now at 2500 I stay hungry. lol 4 more weeks of restricted cals then back to bulking, well lean gains is what the objective will be along with Strength...

indeed, I'm right there with ya
even tho I'm hanging @4250cals on average currently, that is a drastic cut from where I have been - even considering the lack of activity in comparison to when I was playing tennis all the time....and I feel like I'm starvin marvin!....I am being tad aggressive on the mini clean-up I know, but that is by design, and it won't last much longer..
 
Wow, 4250. Then you are cutting drastically, what about 40%?
 
turff49 said:

yeah it's ~2000cal reduction
BUT - I expend an insane amount of energy playing tennis, so now that is gone..
on the flip side, I am also on a compound that has an affinity for food, so yeah I guess all things considered it is pretty damn aggressive..
like I said, is short-duration, I am not really worried about losing muscle but same time I am monitoring stringently

Your "not pushing it" is far more than the average! Great work Turff!!

I'm use to going in and hitting failure on every exercise. If I don't go to failure then I consider it as not pushing it. lol
 
Nice work and your body will thank you for a day of not pushing to failure.
 
I like hitting failure too. Unfortunately, failure for me would've been halfway through your routine.

:hitwithrock:

Took 60-90 second breaks between sets, few minutes on each side of the 320. If you notice I didn't do any inclines or DB presses or pullovers or chest dips. Gotta keep shocking the muscles!
 
Your chest is crazy-strong, Turff. 320 is insane...

Thanks man. Trying to relive my youth! In all honesty, the HS chest press seems to be easier than the barbell flat press. Regular bench I probably can get 285 for 7 or 8 reps. I've hit 360 for 4 reps on the HS.

Same here. That's (in my opinion) the best way to grow muscle.

Failure
Failure
Failure
And then..
More failure.
 
Let me just add this in for today's workout. Went out for lunch with high school friends of my wife that she hadn't seen in ** years. Chinese so I just had some chicken and broccoli and some sushi. Felt energized when I got home so decided to finish frying my chest.

Incline bb bench press
135 x 10
135 x 10
185 x 8
185 x 8
225 x 4
Went for 265 but when I lifted the bar off the rack I put it right back. Could tell I wasn't going to press it. This mornings workout taxed me out! It's been awhile since I've actually bb benched. May add the incline bb bench back in for awhile. I prefer to do these at home outside.
 
I'm sure you were taxed. Still strong weight though.

Chinese sounds so good...
