I feel you on the fasted training. When I first started training fasted it felt great and I didn’t feel it affecting my work capacity in anyway, but after a couple of weeks it really took its toll on me and I had to switch to non-fasted training.

Oh? Today was my first time training fasted, on my DL day I broke the fast with my peri-workout nutrition (read gatorade lol). I’m hoping that I’ll get more accustomed to it.

Trained fasted today, didn’t feel weak midway through the session.
NICE bench man, way to LWI like a boss!
I think I’ll do RB benching this week also, so we can be bros! What bands you using there, btw? I’m sure you’ve mentioned it but I’m a)too lazy to check, and b)have a horrible memory

Pumptastic.
Saw a dude in a collared T and khaki shorts (after work maybe?), wearing a belt, on the treadmill yesterday. This fucking gym…
I hear ya on getting the heavy DB’s in place. I feel like I’m going to break my arms and/or my face every time I use them
You’ve been killing it AquaMan.
Your curls came a long way too.
Have you never seen that guy before? he is so goofy. It’s not even like he does any strenuous exercises… some curls, maybe some lateral raises, maybe some bench pressing. Tall, goofy fuck, ololo.
Nice hammer curls.

Not until today. TBH there were a lot of goofy fucks today lol. But I think it may have been the guy you were referring to. He was all over the place doing god knows how many exercises. I don’t even think he was sweating.
And fml, didn’t get my weekly bug fix at ze gregory

5/3/1, 3 week, Day 1
Saturday 7/16/11
Deadlift
somexsomex135
3x225
3x250
3x285
8x320
I’d say grip went first, despite using a hook grip. Hook grip aggravated the thumb I cut this morning. Had a rep or two left in the tank. Might just give a mixed grip another shot.
Pull ups (band assisted, alternating grips)
10, 10, 10, 5, 5, 5, 10, 7, 6, 6, 10, 8, 8 = 100 reps in 13 sets
Used too much arms during the first few sets, but eventually fixed that.
T-bar row
5x2p, 3p, 4p
10x5p
DROP: 10x4p, 3p, 2p
Lower back seemed to die first. I may try using a belt next week.
Ab wheel
5x5
Dat DL. :3
I’d say try mixed grip until the thumb heals up, even though hook grip is so hawtz. You use chalk right?

Monday 7/18/11
Military press
somexsomex95
3x120
3x135
3x155
1x185
(3x150,145,140)x7 = 21 sets lol
Could’ve kept on going, but decided to move on. Took awhile to get warmed up and into the swing of things, I guess I’m just used to lifting in a garage at 90+ degrees.
Partial laterals
20x30s
20x40s
20x50s
20x60s
20x70s
These hurt so good.
Hammer curls
6x30s
6x40s
6x50s
6x60s
Didn’t move up to the 70s since the 60s felt heavy.
EZ bar preacher curls
12xbar
12,10,8,8,6xbar+20
These were nice and slow. My nonexistant bis died here.
5/3/1, 3 week, Day 3
Wednesday 7/20/11
Squat
somexsomex135
3x205
3x235
10x260 (PR of sorts, definitely had a few more in me)
3x235
3x205
Depth seems a bit suspect, but overall squatting felt MUCH better. Really focused on keeping the chest up.
RDL
3x135, 155, 185, 205, 225, 245, 275, 295
10x225, 205, 185, 185, 135
These started off slow since my left erector felt rather pumped.
Ab wheel
5x5
Nice squatting, your form looked really “tight”.
I like the view.

3x175
3x200
3x225

fml, 2x255 felt WEAK. Just didn’t have an pop off the chest. Was hoping to hit a nice PR, but I’ll have to wait. Monday’s OHPing may have affected today, but w/e still got put in work.
Reverse band BP
(3x300, 295, 290)x6 = 18 sets.
Despite my benching feeling awful, I’m happy that I got in some good work here.
Pendlay row
3x10x135
Putting in good work, or should I say FAB-ulous work? :3
