Nice workout brotha! Enjoy the calories

Thanks... just had 1/2 a rotiserie chicken (without the skin) and some rice, green beans and a salad.

Lately, after eating I just want to eat and eat and eat... could be dangerous.

I had a whole pound of pulled chicken with just a little BBQ sauce for dinner! Thought I was only going to eat half of it but when I thought about it I had already devoured it!

I am enjoying the boxing cardio. And it is the perfect finisher. Punch power dropped pretty quick last night though lol

You got that right buddy... they are gruelling to say the least.

They are like the meadows one arm extensions 'gladiator swinging a sword'... can't remember what Meadows calls them...

Back feeling it today. And now my legs are feeling something too!

I had a whole pound of pulled chicken with just a little BBQ sauce for dinner! Thought I was only going to eat half of it but when I thought about it I had already devoured it!

Pulled chicken - yum!

[Hyde]

Dude that leg session looked miserable....I had rep squat last night, made it through most of my squat and then just packed it up and went home. So I joined some friends this morning and deadlift with them like 12 hours later (srs) for and did some leg raises and reverse hypers and curls, but the volume of both workouts combined was still less than yours.

 

[love2liftkat]

1/30/2015 Doms this morning... chest, bi's, shoulders, and legs still hanging around from 2 days ago.. Sunday will be a great day for a rest day. Bpak calls for an extra 1000 cals on said rest day - superbowl eats!

Heck yeah and sushi too!!!! You've worked hard for it!!

How did you know Kat was coming over????

I told him not to tell anyone!

 

[turff49]

Good god man, how do you keep doing it! That's just an insane workout. If I had to workout with you is be in the corner crying and acting like Reak off of Game of Thrones...lol

Geez Kat, I thought you said to "tell" everyone. My bad...lol!

 

[RegisterJr]

I kinda miss doing leg curls to start... Gonna have to do some today. Awesome session Simon.

2/1/2015 REST DAY

Looks like today and tomorrow are slated as rest days. But will be active rest of course.

Got up this morning and hit up a 6km run. Was good, but cold. Once home downed another serving of bcaa/saa, wrapped my hands, gloved up and hit the heavy bag for 20 minutes. Instead of going with 2 minute rounds, this time I just hit for 20 minutes (whilst cranking out the Slipknot), taking short 15 second breaks were needed. Sweat up a storm, in a freezing garage.

Have a good Sunday all.

 

[804]

Nice work for a rest day bro! That boxing sounds brutal

We carry what we can't control
Approaching original violence
In the silence there's a nihilist
Who doesn't care and never did

To each his own
Life can do with one less watered-down excuse
There comes a time when we can't take the same abuse
If this is over you can tell me it's no use

Yumm!!! Sounds awesome!! Glad you got some "rest" too!! Definitely came back and killed it today!!

 

[Hyde]

Nice work! You getting any back pumps yet, or did you actually mean DOMS?

 

[RegisterJr]

Those CS sets look fun. Especially with STIML8 fueling some sweats.

Hope you enjoyed that T-Bone. I had fat bloody steak a few nights ago. I was so full I had a hard time sleeping. Gains...

 

[804]

Nice lift bro! How was that tbone?

 

[RegisterJr]

How was that T's bone?

He normally seems satisfied...

Thanks Kat ...no rest for the wicked I suppose lol

Nice work! You getting any back pumps yet, or did you actually mean DOMS?

I have had some minor lower back pumps, just upped the Taurine a bit, which seems to have helped dramatically. DOMS was over exaggeration, back was just lit up and hurting quickly. Thanks Hyde.

165x6
165x6

225x20
225x20
225x20
225x20

Gotta make time.. they are a weakness for me.. not gifted in that are like packers6211

And ya that are pretty uncomfortable - feel awkward. Probably because I don't do them enough.

Its going along day to day. Looks like i better get in gear, you are straight killing it!

Thanks bro.. hope you are healing up and can get back at it! Hope your dad is doing better as well.
