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

Yall's support helps inspire me guys so I have you to thank!

I Took today off, I'm like sore to the point where it's crippling from that leg workout yesterday.
Just ate tons of protein today. Diet was in check till about 5 o clock, lets just say I'm workin on another beer at the moment. I don't see any harm in getting my drink on once a week.
 
Worked out with my buddy today so I was able to do a bunch of flat bench shit at heaviest weights possible since I had a spotter. That helped so much on the 50 rep shit and all that, that way I could really go to muscle failure, he'd help me back up, I'd rest a few seconds, and keep grinding away at the reps. It's only been like 3 hours since the lift and I'm so sore.

My left hand is completely numb from all that benching : / Think I pinched a nerve. It'll get better though no worries.

Bench: 175 x 5 / 175 x 5 / 170 x 5 / 165 x 5 / 160 x 5
Incline: 135 x 5 / 145 x 5 / 135 x 5 / 135 x 5 / 140 x 5 / 135 x 5
Decline Bench: 155 x 5 / 145 x 5 / 165 x 5 / 145 x 5 / 155 x 5 / 145 x 5
Bench: 75 x 50 / 85 x 40 / 95 x 30 / 115 x 20 / 135 x 10 / 125 x 10 / 105 x 20 / 85 x 30 / 75 x 40 / 65 x 50

Then lots of pec flys on machine and on cables, I did tons of nasty ass drop sets.

You might notice some of the weights went lower, then higher, then lower, then higher sequentially during a set. that's because sometimes my buddy would take a long ass time to get ready or finish lifting so I had more time to rest. Otherwise one of us would go, then the other immediately goes.

Then did some abs and my goal was to run 3 miles, but I ran one and stopped. I'm still extremely sore from Saturday, and I'm thinkin cardio would interfere with recovery. I could use some cardio but with legs coming up tomorrow I need another day of rest. It's mostly all in my quads, they're blown the fuck up.

If I'm too sore tomorrow I may swith shoulder day with leg day. We will see
 
Pretty crazy volume. I wouldn't drink alcohol while sore though because it really reduces your recovery, something about alcohol filling the glycogen hungry muscle and inhibiting the amount of protein/nutrients that can work to repair the muscle. No harm in doing it in moderation, like you said once a week is fine, just not the best when you're sore.
 
Awesome work buddy ! I find whenever I hammer back the beers after working out my recovery isn't necessarily hindered much, but I look flat the next day and lose the pump / tight anabolic
Feeling you get after consistent training. Takes me a few days to get back to normal mind you when I sip on the beers I really tend to over do it.


Ride it like you stole it!!

Yeah It doesn't seem to hinder my recovery too bad but it impacts the workout the next day if I'm hungover lol. Hahaha and yeah man, I don't just have "a beer" I'm like a 6-8 beer minumum guy :P
 
By the way I'm doin shoulders today instead of legs, they're too torn up. Doing the pyramid shit with front squats and back squats in one day was probably one of the toughest workout's I've had to grind through.

So I'll be doin some face pulls and cable crossovers like you boys suggested, throwin some new shit in at the rear delts!
 
Hit shoulders yesterday, did tons of dropsets, higher rep ranges.

Cleans were 5 reps, form was looking much better

Thanks a bunch for suggesting the cable crossovers and face pulls guys, my rear delts feel like they've been raped! The good kind of rape ;)

After shoulders I ran 3 miles.

I finished my 4th round of antibiotics 5 days ago, and I'm pretty much fucked for the time being. The first round got rid of the strep completely, but it came back. Since then when I'd get on antibiotics all I'd have was a red ring around my throat, no soreness though, and didn't feel as run down.

So they kept it from getting worse at least. Well, I can't get any more. I don't like the way the doctor had me take the same exact antibiotic each round either, if something fails 4 times why not try a different antibiotic. Idk I'm no doctor.

Anyway, I've had strep throat for coming on 3 months now. I got it probably like 2 days after a late night with she who shall not be mentioned. Don't think that's a coincidence...

Long term solution might be having tonsils removed, but that can't happen till Christmas break.

I have an appointment with a specialist next week, and by then I imagine I'll be running on willpower alone.

It really hit me last night. At its worst when I first got it, tonsils were almost golf ball sized, you could see the gland protruding out of my neck, and tonsils had pus on them. Attractive, right? I know!

Anyway, my tonsil on the right side is lookin pretty fuckin red and extremely swolen. Also looks like there's pus. I'm already feeling a little off, it will probably get worse though.

Don't think for a second I'm not going to still hit the gym with all my effort. This is getting very frustrating haha and it makes it worse knowing who I probably got it from.
