Appreciate you as always and for keeping the push alive !log respect push it
I have thought about it alot actually. My number one passion is body building I do it as a hobby but Try to approach it like I'm getting ready for a show. Learning tweaking transforming myself mentally and body. This is the first time I've ever done a log like this, other then Dylan being so kind in helping me along the way, before I found this place I did it 8 years on my own just Learning all I could and soaking it in and applying it. ( admittedly I am no where near the level or bodyfat required to use anything other than my trt and maybe some sarms down the road. It would take many more components and compounds to try to even come close to competing. I would definitely try it if I had the support system around me ( I'm 34 currently not getting any younger so my window is pretty limited possibly)you're pretty big actually
have you considered competing in the future?
following this bro...keep it comingPhase One
Week 1 gym training.
Wide grip flat bench warmup (1x10
115lbs) (1x10 145lbs )( working sets 3x10) 175lbs 2x10) (180lbs 1x10 ) ( 215lbs 1x5
(extra set because i was feeling great and knew i had plenty left in the tank for 1harder set ) ( slight arch butt kept on the bench for every set with control on the way down and up ( full range of motion )
DB Shoulder Press (35lb DB 2x10warm up)
( working sets ( 40lb 1x10 ) ( 45lb 1x10 )
(50lb 1x10 ) keeping good posture ( full range of motion) I could Have did more sets but didn't ( need to be patient and trust the program )
Overall I felt strong on these sets.
Dips ( body weight 219lbs 3x10 )
Little shakes in the body not due to lack of strength I believe it is due to lack of quality sleep and pushing to hard ( need to learn to Deload and rest when needed ( my sleep is the key other then my food intake) I feel with the first phase of this program it will be good for me this isn't nearly as taxing as the program I normally do that should work into my benefit, I can go a bit harder on cardio having more in the tank.
Incline DB Chest Press ( 40lb 1x10)
(45lb 1x10 ) ( 50lb 1x10 )
Felt strong on these doing chest or shoulders I always have to concentrate harder ( right shoulder likes to try and give out alot sooner then left due to my surgery on it from 2016) no matter we push on, always moving forward. ( my all time max bench was 275lbs for 4 ( I don't need to work up that high as long as I can hit my body weight or 5lbs over for 5-10 reps I count that as a major win.
45 minutes up hill cardiovascular work today. boy i was sweating every damn ounce of warter out today. I went and walked 2.30 for distance ( speed 3.4) calories burned 521 total)
I did all this training while fasted today, I still need to go home Have a quick lunch and then begin the meal preparation.
I've been trying everything we will get it done no matter what, last night I had good sleep and we got after it today on back day.Sleep is indeed important
Thank you so much bro I really appreciate the follow and kind words !following this bro...keep it coming
No other choice no matter what I can't fail.Keep getting after it man
Appreciate the positivity from you as always Steve, I was able to get in 2 podcasts with you and mobster tonight while I was at work. The home brewing one and the do you need to try different compounds one, both super interesting and I learned alot of quality informationnice work on this one. motivation
@Topps_Baseball88 you're not giving up and going at it strong style4-26-23
First meal ( at work so I only get one break for a full meal so I decided to eat a higher calorie option to keep me going at work.
After work is 45 minutes of cardio to burn off a decent majority of calories when I go home I will eat a few more small meals to hit my target goal of around 2040 calories, even if I don't hit it exactly I do try to get the necessary protein for recovery purposes.
I am able to get a quick snack in few hours from now
Meal 1
Keto style pizza. (877 calories on its own .
6slices mozzarella cheese
3oz mozzarella cheese ontop
1oz bacon crumbles
8 small pieces of sausage
1/4 cup green pepper & onion
1/2 cup fresh mushrooms
2 ( very lite ) teaspoons red sauce
Snack 2 hours after 1st meal
Tukery bites
320 calories
21g Protein
Total Fat 15g

Sugar 4g
Combined meal and snack ( 1206 calories-(Protein 85g) (fat 86g )(carbs 33.8) (cholesterol 266g )(sugar 8g )
(4-26-23 PHASE ONE Back + Traps )
I started today with Dead Hang Pull-Up
3x6@219lbs ( body weight )
Overall I felt strong, I like to work with grip strength and Forearm strength when I do Pull-ups. One having strong forearms helps me with Pulling motions alot and handling heavier weight loading.
Second up today was (Deadlifting)
I started out with a few warmups (1x10@115lbs) ( 1X10@145lbs )
(1x10@175lbs)
( my 3 working sets ) (1×10@225lbs)
(1x6@255lbs) (1x6@315lbs)
I will admit I haven't done deadlifts in 4 months in order to see where I was I needed to go a little heavier, it was taxing and fun at the same time, it felt amazing hitting 315lbs for 6 good ones, I credit alot of help with the grip and forearm strength training I do as it wasn't my grip that didn't want the tension it was my back, I could tell if I push any further the reps and set would be sloppy and bad, I can't train like that it has to be cleand or I'm upset and let myself down and it doesn't count as a rep. (for my reps) I did
drop back down and hit ( 1x10@225 and it felt easy after working upward at 315lbs for 6reps
Next up (Bent Over Row) (warm-up) ( 1x10@145lbs) ( 1X10@175lbs )
(Working sets )( 2x10@225lbs) 1x10@245lbs)
these felt extremely good especially after hitting deadlifts, my pulling is increasing little by little each week and for the first time this year I hit 245lbs for 10 which I could not do a couple months ago ( I really feel this forearm training working well for me happy I implemented it in months ago ( the deadhang pull-ups I feel also are increasing my pulling power ( it is amazing what a few tweaks here and there can really do for you over time )
DB Shoulder Shrug ( 1x10@35lbs warmup
(Working sets ) ( 1x10@40lbs ) 1x10@45lbs) (1x10@50lbs)
To increase difficulty I did DB shurgs ( no breaks in between sets and hit BB Shrugs after no breaks and went back and fourth between both for a total of 6 sets.
Wanted to push myself and the tempo since it was the end of my workout.
(BB shrugs behind the back reverse grip)
(Working sets) (1x10@175lbs) (2x10@205lbs)
I was jacked hitting these numbers stepping back a bit from the crushing volume I typically do has been paying off with just two training sessions. Again I have to say Working on grip strength was a key part of this.
Overall I started my workout at 12:40pm I got out by 1:40pm ( cardio 45 minutes tonight after im off work ) ran out of time but we don't make excuses and skip it we go back and get it done.
One way I will reach my goals and body is by sure will and having a committed mindset.
Enjoy the update everyone![]()
