Damn man, you got some crazy volume on your workouts! Good stuff, I don't really get much time to read other people's logs, only just enough to post in mine and track progress, but I'll definitely be checking in on yours. Gotta love anger fueled workouts, it's a great way to bump up the intensity for an especially brutal or heavy day. I like to see it kind of like caffiene or pre workouts though, use it when you need it, but only when you need it, for me if I don't use it sparingly then it becomes hard to drag my ass into the gym if I'm not mad or if I'm tired. But whatever works for you, how long do you typically spend in the gym for a session like the last 2?

 

[NoFatChicks91]

Thank you sir. It's usually about a 3 hour gym session every day. I also tend to go back at night if I have time and work out some more, so some days it's up to four hours. I had to work up to that of course. I definately have to watch out for overtraining with so much volume but what I'm doing now is definately getting me results. I know most people don't have the time to spend 3 or 4 hours in the gym either but it really works for me. I like what you said about using the caffeine sparingly like the anger. However I am feeling that day I use it as motivation. It's a weird way to look at it but say if I'm feeling sick, I'm motivated to work harder because I want to overcome the challenge and give it my all even though I feel like shit. Same with anger. And on the rare occasion that I'm feeling happy, of course, I'm motivated just because I'm in a good mood.

Hahaha I used to be the same exact way. I was in the gym once for 7 hours striaght. No joke. No breaks really. I used to be filled with anger. The workouts were pretty good.. But I honestly did get better results switching to getting in and out in under 2 hours.. But hey bro do what you love! If you gain this way, which most do (most are just to damn lazy) then keep at it!

Training to channel your anger bro is great and all, but it doesn't mentally get it out of you, it is almost like masking it with alcohol, just healthier of course lol...whoever she was or is you need to let it go for your own sanity and sake! Keep killing it bro...you are training like a madman for sure...just have to work through it bro!!! Trust me, I walk around at times with anger and resentment...shit we all do, but talk it out as well as train...stress is a killer bro!

Thanks guys, and muscle, that comment was full of wisdom. You are completely right man... I just have trouble letting it go, but you are right.

Yesterday I had kind of a setback on my pullups, idk what was up with that. I've gotten over 8 wide grip pullups strict and yesterday I was only able to get 4 haha. I did 100 total. Was going to do more but my hand started to tear on 96 so I backed off. I was kipping on most of them because I hit the point where I couldn't do one strict. I'm not sure if this setback was from fatigue (I STILL have strep throat, just got put on a 4th round of antibiotics, it's been like 2 months now) or weight gain. Scale says I'm at 194-ish right now.

Don't have time at the moment to post numbers but I'll get it later

Thursday was a shoulder killer.

I am beating myself up for neglecting doing my cleans. They are such a great compound exercise and they are underrated shoulder builders. To top it off they'll smoke tha fuck out of ya. Hell yes?

I can't clean much but my technique is better than most people's when I see them cleaning heavy weight. I see alot of guys cleaning like 200 lbs but they land with their legs straight and spread out in a V. That's what I do when I start getting heavier. I could clean alot more but instead of landing at shoulder width I will land in that V shaped stance which is no bueno. Good way to fuck the shit out of your ACL too.

Power clean: 135 x 5 / 155 x 5 / 165 x 3 / 155 x 5 / 150 x 5 / 145 x 5 / 135 x 8
Overhead Press: 85 x 10 / 90 x 8 / 85 x 8 / 75 x 8 / 70 x 10
Hang Clean: 95 x 12 / 115 x 10 / 115 x 10 / 115 x 8 / 105 x 10
Lateral Raise on Machine: 100 x 8 / 95 x 8 / 90 x 8 / 80 x 8
Front Squat: 135 x 8 / 135 x 8 / 155 x 5 / 155 x 5/ 150 x 5 / 150 x 5
Dumbell Hang Clean: 60 x 5 / 60 x 5 / 55 x 8 / 55 x 8 / 50 x 12 / 50 x 12
Seated Dumbell Front Raise: 15 x 12 / 15 x 10 / 12.5 x 12 / 12.5 x 10
Barbell Upright Row: 75 x 8 / 70 x 10 / 70 x 8 / 65 x 10
Dumbell Shrug: 75 x 10 / 75 x 10 / 75 x 8 / 70 x 8

Did 15 mins of stairstepper then a mile run in 5:42

Today my arms are kinda sore from the cleans, but I'm still gonna go in and crush some arms today as planned.

Yeah, hardest part of holding on is letting it go! I am a father and my oldest daughter is 19...enough said! Just have to mentally let it out too bro...spiritually as well. It only eats away at you slowly so that it isn't as apparent to you, even though you are channeling it the best way there is...through exercise...it is only really masking it. Dr. Muscle at your service! LOL!!!
