About to hit back and delts. Routine is going well so far. Eating part atleast. All I really need is one good fucking excuse to end this regimen but Im going to try and keep myself fired up for the full 70 days. I started this growth phase without a real fire, but Im working to increase and feed it daily. There are much larger things on my mind and being a little bigger and stronger doesnt carry much weight with me anymore. It does drive me, but its not like it was.
Obviously the conflict internally rages on or I wouldnt even be doing this shit. Things can be much worse so I have no reason to bitch. Mental perspective is everything in how we percieve things. You can have horrible outward circumstances and be the happiest person or be wealthy and miserable. Its how you percieve your situation. Common knowledge, but I bring it up to encourage those that struggle with inner demons not to beat the shit out of yourself about it.
When you are at war with yourself you struggle to even do basic and simple things. Thats always been the case with me, so doing a routine like this and force feeding all day is further undesirable and uncomfortable. Never compare to other people because they may not be battling the level of internal warfare that you are, or in the same circumstance. Without motivation everything is insanely difficult. Just focus on what you can do and getting through the day. Dont compete with anyone. This is just my advice.
For back, Ill start with chin ups most likely. Ill aim for 34 and see what takes place. That would be a record for being above 220 lbs. I should be around the 230 mark now, at some point during the day.
Aside from that, maybe strict lat pulldowns again. Im considering bringing back low cable rows but have to be somewhat tactical as that falls into the list of harsher movements for my spine and joints. My goal is to last 70 days of this routine. Not that I really hold back during my sets, but I try to avoid going extra heavy and high volume now, or abusing beyond failure techniques for certain movements.
Progress is going well and eating is in a good range. Thats been a struggle as I hate to eat but ive been keeping protein in the upper 200s. Averaged 270 last week and my average for the last two days is over 300.
Im keeping an average now because I need to do that to push my eating further and keep getting new results. Maintenance has been relatively easy but pushing beyond to make decent growth in 10 weeks, takes consistant work.
For the delt portion, its very optional. This means I can focus on my chest and back on those target days. I added in a delt only day for that reason. Plus 5 days of training burns more calories and gets me to take my supplements for 5 days rather than 4. My intraworkout drink of creatine,bcaa,carbs. Also stay more hydrated since I use alot of water with that. So its good to have a 5th day now.
Ill hit my delt focused day either tommorrow or the next day most likely.
KILL THAT SHIT !!
