Shout out to mike for the medial Delt stuff. Your ideas worked!

Quick update on diet. I'm going high fat high protein high veggie.
Every 3rd day I'm going lower fat high carb high protein.
2 days into diet. Going wel-will post pic on Sunday. You guys lemme know if I drop too fast. (I don't go by scale cuz that shit fluctuates) lets say the last pic I posted is day 0.

Back/hip still aches when I lie down n twist n turn. Stretched n foam rolled n ice today. No squats or DL as I have already mentioned. Hopefully 2 weeks, but maybe a month if necessary. Gonna make the leg press my friend. Hack squat too if that doesn't aggrevate it.
 
Glad them side delts are working buddy!! I find the static hold out to the sides after a bunch of side laterals is a real nasty finish to them :)
 
Good news bad news.
Bad news-my injury is actually a strain in my glutes- stretched a lot today.
Good news- rocked my midterms and I'm glad it's not a lower back issue!

Thanks buddy. It feels much better. It's a good wake up call on needing to stretch and warm up even better as the weight on bar increases. I gotta remember I'm at a BW of like 150's so gotta take care of body since the weight is heavy relative to BW

Glad the injury feels better. Definitely what you were saying with warming up. I used to be the biggest cheater in regards to warm ups but I go pretty thorough now and I feel it's really helped avoid a lot of injuries. My injuries were like every other month lol the only thing that's happened in the last several months is issues with the knee.

I focus more on warming up and getting blood flow in the beginning of the work or and save the stretching for after. It's done me well so far

Those 3 plate/side hack squats felt great. Superset with a SLDL would have been a better combo. I think that will become a staple to my leg days.

Tomorrow leg day. I'm not "cutting" more like recomp. It's still only march. I don't think it takes me much more to get 6 pack lean.
 
Your pretty lean already man definitely won't take much for the last few cuts to come out. Your dedication is killer too so that's helpful as well
 
Diet today.
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup coffee
6 whole eggs
1 polish kielbasa (so fn good)
1 big ass salad with spinach. Kale strawberries, chickpeas, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, olives n fat free French dressing
1 big can tuna
1/2 rotisserie chicken skinless for most of it.

Tomorrow I'm cooking with my new lady friend, throw some pics up tomorrow.
Shoulders/biceps tomorrow. Also, I'm feeling the 225 bench. It's time to get that PR.
 
Dude 225 on bench is what I want too! Haha and dude I'm excited for you having a new lady friend. That is awesome!

How you liking the diet?

Diet is interesting- I go high carb every 3rd day. Overall I like it.

I got a 220lbs bench. 225 just wasn't happening- so fucking close. In 2 weeks...

I'm getting stronger on less calories so I'm happy. And since I carb up, I stil stay full glycogen-wise

I have been going low carb high fat for 3 days then a high carb low fat day.. Seems to be working also as strength
Is continuing to go up while staying lean

Alright gentlemen. Decided to switch DL back to snatch grip deadlifts- make me use less weight and activate glutes more. Idea is to have better pull conventionally in 4 weeks.

Also, I would like to point out that we all have issues and I am glad we are able to be gentlemen about it and openly discuss these things. We all learn from each other and I think that's pretty sweet

I agree man I've made some close friends on here. You being one of them. I'm interested in how this snatch grip deadlift treats you. I bet it will your your back in a badass new way.

Yeah mike I consider you guys friends.

If you read it up on it- strength coach Ben Bruno is huge on it- it hits your uper back but it also makes u use your glutes more as well. My hips are a bit tight so while I work on them, the snatch grip is killing like 3 birds with 1 stone.
Making me get lower, avoiding injury and hitting glutes to get more power from bottom.

I'll follow closely on this then and see how you like them. May have to make the switch. Lifting 4 plates feels cool tho :P haha just kidding

I agree. I started incorporating guillotine n DB incline n floor presses more to address that'. Thanks for popping in

Your bodyfat is also low. Good job on maintaining that. I think when the thread first started people said you should drop the gatorade. You may want to do the opposite and incorporate more carbs so that proteins are spared to build muscle. A 32oz gatorade has 50 whole calories.... The 50 calories from sucrose syrup may infact help you decrease bodyfat due to more muscle being built.

Yeah I still drink Gatorade during workout. It' keeps me going in the early morning workout.
I plan on leaning out a little more for summer starting later in the month.

Thanks mike n mike.

Question- been really gassy lately. It's disgusting... I had to fart so badly at the lady's house n I held it in till I got outside cuz it's so stinky.
My diet has been pretty consistent.

2lbs chicken breast
1 scoop whey or protein bar
Lots of spinach/carrots/tomatoes
Olive oil to cook in.
Some Gatorade during workout (like 80g carbs)
1 coffee a day

Only changes are that I carb up maybe every 3rd or 4th day with potatoes n sometimes swap chicken for beef (sake of variety)
Thoughts?
 
I've had gassiness when I'm eating raw veggies... My guess is spinach and carrots. Unless you are speaking them.

I have a stash of Gas X for these kinds of situations lol.

Also I get gassiness and diahrrea from coffee but one cup doesn't seem to be enough for that.

That will happen. It a natural thing to an extent. If its excessive then maybe try a probiotic to get the bowels right and that should help some. I feel its always good to run them several times a year to keep digestion healthy.

The Gatorade has fructose in it which is known to cause stomach discomfort due to it having to convert to glucose before it is usable for the body. Ive noticed avoiding fructose has helped my stomach alot.
