7 Weeks to a Shredded ME!...

[SgtSlaughter]

School boys get owned ya know ...

I'd say good luck but you don't need it

I welcome THAT kind of ownage anyday... especially from you

Thank you!! I can hardly wait either... is it weird that i can't wait to cut after how ever long I run the 5x5?! lol... I can wait to really see what's here and finally get rid of the lower ab pouch (I think that was the largest measurment from the caliper BF test too... obviously, lol).
... or maybe i'll just keep manipulating my diet on the program and add LBM and loose BF that way I don't have to

Diet = under microscope... quality foods, a few cheats here and there but no gorgfests unless they are warented And not boozing for me

Back in the day buffet at noon:

"20 inch wheels on de Impala"

good shit.


Ok, been pluggin' in values into the 5x5 spread.

I'm going to ride it out with NO "accesory" work for as long as I can stand it mentally... cardio will be done... i will continue to eat my ass off as I have been... weights going up still.

Can't wait to be at week 7 and more ... can't wait to see how long I can ride it out either, should be fun.

Is it possible to replace inclines on the spreadsheet 5x5 Bill Starr program with Military or Push presses??

Tonight will be Major rowage... GP Rows .... start low see how heavy I can go and plug that into the spread and i'll be ready to start the program the end of this week or weekend.

New Thread/Log will be started as well

Cardio Abs School Sleeping Volunteer Work TRAVEL

How could I have forgotten about the CASSVT

lol... so yeah... back at the 'puter with ice on my right shoulder *mutters cuss words*

here's the workout:

ROWS:
45 (bar) x 10
65x8
95x5
115x5
135x5
155x4
165x screw it... 170...
170x3 (cheated/popped up the 3rd rep though)
180x2 & 3/4
let's try it...
190x 2 1/2 reps, lol...

185x1 seems like good middle ground to put in the spread.

VERY DISSAPOINTED:

Bench:

135x5
155x5
175x4
185x5
195x2 ... 3rd rep right shoulder said "FAHK YOU SARGE"... racked it...
... I HATE BB Bench

DB's feel so much better ...

Maybe I should input a lighter number than the 200x4 max I got before for Bench? Fuggin' hate you right shoulder... HATE YOU... evil lil' shit

..ah crap that was only 3 days ago I went for that 200x4 lol...
<--- genious


I'm banning myself from weights til' Monday I think... let my body start fresh. Ok... MAYYYYYBE I'll do a light squat and OHP press day in there

I'm going to be doing mini cardio sessions ... 20-30 minutes I'll try to get in for these next few days... or however long i can last in the heat doing jumprope and/or Sprints.

Body weight check: 204.0 lbs currently
(201.5lbs or something like that this am after fluid release)

WOOHOO haven't dipped below 200.0 for a bit... good stuff

Sarge, don't be afraid to start too conservatively, worst case scenario if you do that is you can prolong the training cycle 2 or 3 weeks for even bigger net gains, not too bad actually.....if you're too generous to yourself to start, worst case scenario is you blow yourself out too soon and have a crappy experience with this......so don't feel like you can't err on the side of caution, this is a lot of volume, despite what it looks like 'on paper'.....and you're adding weight to the bar every week.

On the bench, make sure you're not flaring the elbows, and don't grip crazy wide, even competitive powerlifters train with a narrower grip when they have the shirt off, those 2 things should help the shoulder. When you start piling on size you'll love the barbell much more than the dumbells, the body doesn't know points, angles, planes, and all that stuff, all it knows is total work, and you can really overload the upper body with a barbell. Also, you can make 5lb jumps on the bar, most places have dumbells in 5lb increments, which is a 10lb jump and will bring upper body pressing to a screeching halt sooner rather than later.

Don't worry about 'only' training 3 days a week, with the volume and workload, you won't want to train anymore. I remember mm107 had that very same concern, so ask him about it, you really won't want to and won't be able to train any more, unless they are cardio/ar type workouts.

How many cals a day will you be eating? Do you have a bodyweight in mind or any strength goals? I also never asked how tall you are? You look very lean with a lot of room on your frame....this could be very fun. Good luck to you, I'll be following along.

Thanks for all the great input bro... ok, i'm going to cut back and go more conservativly because it's really a never ending cycle for as long as one can handle it

I'm going to watch my form on bench and see what i'm doing that's aggravating my shoulder... good call.

Cals a day: aiming 3.5-4,000 ... over or under will happen, that's my goal and it's been working well so far. I put on LBM on only 2k something and busting my ass this past training routine. Red meat in my diet 2-3 days per week Calorie overload days will prolly be > 7,000 calories (hehehe )

Bodyweight in Mind: Not really, just increase LBM with as LITTLE BF as possible... who doesn't want that, lol... no i'm not trying to put on sheer size with fat...

Strength: Nothing crazy in mind, whatever I can push and pull and keep getting PR's ... I'm doing this for a structured routine with less training days. In and out with true purpose.

Height: I think the same height as you as you've described in your thread. 6 footer but with shoes 6'1 and a little more.

Thanks bro! Ah... "very" lean Good to hear but i don't see it like that as we come from different backgrounds/training goals (damn BB mentality... no paper thin skin here lol). I'm going to try and bust my ass... I will make progress on this routine i'm really excited to see how my body reacts to it

Oh and the 3 days a week... i'm sure it will kick my ass I welcome it... but mentally... i will do cardio/HIIT the other days to start at least or as my schedule allows! Nothing crazy though... prolly 10-20 minutes... my endurance sucks.

Thanks bro... stick around and when I start the new thread I'll be in the Training forum
