Starting a log, training like a madman to work out my anger!

[NoFatChicks91]

I'll look into face pulls I've not done those. I probably need some more rear delt work for sure!

But the joints, I'm getting tons of fish oil and fat intake. It's the fuckin letro man I can't wait to start to taper off, that'll happen at the end of September. My joints have felt like this since I got on it months ago, however some days it's worse. I'm sitting here right now and if I move my arms the right way my elbows pop and crack, if I do an arm circle my shoulders pop and crack and crunch

I'll still take your advice on the high rep lighter weight stuff next week dude, especially for shoulders as well as back.

Thanks for stoppin by again my brotha

Also, bent over reverse flys, would that be hitting my rear delts? I do the exercise standing up. I feel a great burn when I do them, so if that's in my delts I will do more variations of those.

Hey my joints pop and crack alot too especially using formastanzol. The face pulls are just excellent, and I do a ton of cable crossovers without handles, just grab each opposing cable with the opposing hand and set the pullups on high , then pull the cables across your chest. Do a few sets with the pulley on high medium and low. Rear delt rapeage


Ride it like you stole it!!

Worked out for a little over 4 hours today haha. It was great.

My buddy wanted to do 1 rep max on bench. I did a killer chest workout monday, 200 pushups on Weds, my chest was still sore. I got 195 1 rep max and my buddy got 185. I'm waaaaaay stronger than he is, but I could tell my chest was fatigued. 195 is a PR for me but I'm confident I could get much more than that if I'm fresh. We will see though, if I work out with him Monday I'll 1 rep max again when I'm fresh and shoot for over 200. 195 is still great for someone that's always been such a weak bencher haha.

We did all kinds of rep ranges on arms.

Did supersets of incline bench and standing bicep curls, 25 - 30 reps each, no rest in between. 3 sets of that. I hit everything from every angle through the arm workout. It was about 2 hours long.

Arms are looking bigger and bigger each week

But the highlight of the workout was after my buddy left.

Last week I barely got a 360 deadlift. I almost fainted getting it.

Well today I said I was gonna shoot for 365. My ass and hamstrings were sore, quads not so much, but that's from Tuesday.

Deadlift: 225 x 5 / 225 x 5 / 315 x 5 / 335 x 5

So the 335 x 5 felt easier than it's ever felt before. I put on 365..

365 felt easy as fuck!

I ended up getting a 385 1 rep max deadlift!!! That's 25 pounds heavier than the new 1 rep max PR I made, what, last week I think?
I tried to get 390 but I was obiously done from the effort it took to get 385. I'll get 405 soon I know it.

I'm a firm believer that you can train with insane volume, 3-4 hours a day, 6 days a week and still make great gains if you plan your routine carefully.

Also, weight seems to be up at about 195 lbs. It's so hard to judge my weight since I drink 2 gallons of water a day and eat to the point of force feeding every 2 -3 hours, but when I started this log I remember a day where the scale said 182 lbs. I weighed after the gym and it said 197... I know I had some food on my stomach and drank tons of water though.

So it's gotta be like between 192-195.

Also ran a mile and did 20 mins of stair stepper. Oh, also forearms and abs before that.

Ride it like you stole it!!

 

[muscleaddiction]

Thanks guys.

That overcompensation stuff is no joke. My arms look so much bigger in the past 2 weeks since I backed off and quit working them twice a week. I need to plan a week where I just take it much easier on everything

Because they are recovering for once lol!!! Having a chance to grow! Keep killing it bro...3-4 hours in the gym? Can't imagine lol! Heading there to do legs myself in a few minutes...you letting things go too as well my brother or still just beating them up???

 

[NoFatChicks91]

Hahaha thanks dude I can't wait for 405, it's comin.

Muscle go kill legs man hope you have a good workout.
I'm trying to let go but you know how you still think about shit everyday. Not getting that sinking feeling in my stomach as often but it still takes the mind to a dark place. Progress is coming slowly. Hey thanks for askin man.

It is a process bro...in time it gets easier, shit took me almost a year one time. Just finished legs and pretty stoked...455 squat for 8 reps...deep of course, wrapped, belted, with a good spotter. Also hit over 1100 lb leg press for 12 reps...used your anger management idea bro lol!!!

Legs are dead! Food time! Keep killing it bro, but give yourself some down time as well...let your muscles grow!!!

You are a fuckin machine man! That's like Terminator shit lol.

Very inspiring. I'm using that to push myself extra hard on my leg workout today. Killer stuff bro!

Haha I bet after 455 x 8 it's definately food time. I've been carbing up all day. 8 whole grain pancakes at least 200 grams of carbs there, almond butter sandwich, small bowl of cereal. Also has avacado, V8 (Love that stuff, if you get the low sodium cans it's got over 1000 mg of potassium, thats like 8 banannas worth) probably 50 grams protein worth of egg whites, 2 eggs, 1 lb of chicken, cup of OJ, whey protein... shit what else?

You are calling me a machine lol...that is some serious food bro!!! Making me hungry!!!

Great leg workout...just keep doing what you are doing bro, you know!!!!

Almost asked myself why I enjoy subjecting myself to this kind of torture.. Towards the end you're struggling to bust out 2 or 3 reps, grinding towards 50 reps, in between gasping for air and trying to fight off dizziness and lightheadedness.

I'm spend, nothing much else to say.

Squats: 95 x 50 / 115 x 40 / 135 x 30 / 160 x 20 / 195 x 10 / 195 x 10 / 160 x 20 / 135 x 30 / 115 x 40 / 95 x 50
Front Squat: 85 x 30 / 100 x 20 / 125 x 10 / 165 x 5 / 160 x 5 / 125 x 10 / 95 x 20 / 70 x 30

30 Min bike ride

The last few sets of my front squats I could hardly get my legs to bend and move, they were completely blown up. They weren't sore at all today though so I'm confident this'll spark some new growth and gains.
I don't like the weight I did for front squats on the high reps, on paper the weight looks like nothing. I was spent though, my front squats are already weak, and I wanted to keep form. When it comes to being physically strong and tough I guess I don't stand out much, but I know I've got the mentality to push myself to my limit, and I'll do just that.

It just gets hard not to want to go in and lift big badass weights, but I've got to stay focused and work with what I can do.
