Thanks for that, it always amazes me how much food you can eat for pretty low calories, Oh and my old school maths makes that 257 protein.

Lol, I’m pretty good at the administration side of the house. Although if you ever hear of a nuclear meltdown on a carrier, it’s a safe bet that someone asked me to do calculus haha

I am very much enjoying this game of ā€œHow many meatheads does it take to accurately do additionā€ lol.

I think I concur on the 257 though. Think you left off the breakfast.

No I think @wiseman83 is right, I added the surge 34c as protein,

LMFAO

No wonder none of us have abs.

Work for today: JuggernautAI powerlifting week 9 day 1:

Squat: 340x6 (The PR of PRs. Let’s fucking go), 295x5, 295x5, 295x5

Pendlay row; 165x10, 165x9

Incline bench: 175x5, 180x5, 180x5, 180x5

Hamstring curl: 110x12, 110x13

Leg extension: 130x12, 130x12, 130x15

Ab wheel: 15, 15, 15

Notes:

  • I am elated with my squat. It’s always been my worst lift, and I’ve especially struggled after my knee surgery. Was worried about 340x5. Legit anxiety, as in I drove my truck to the gym instead of taking the bike just incase I hurt myself. 340 for reps is just such a stretch compared to what I’ve done before. To add to it, when I got to my gym, 3 of my sailors had just joined and were watching me lift. I sure as hell didn’t want to fail with them watching. I made the decision that I was either hitting this for 5 reps, or that bar was crashing down onto the bars. Hell or high water, I’d start that next rep. And honestly, 5 reps wasn’t bad. Struggled on the 6th; but I might have had 7 in my if I let my form go a bit. Just feeling ridiculously strong right now, which is amazing given I’m 211.
  • honestly, it’s been an insane week at work. Had a massive inspection that had me working even more than usual. Worth it, my guys absolutely crushed the inspection. But, it means diet and sleep have been a bit wonky, so didn’t set myself up the best for this. Made sure to hydrate and eat a lot of protein and carbs leading up to my workout, ended up feeling fantastic once I got to the gym.
  • backoff sets felt rough. Definitely gave my all on that top set.
  • rows felt strong.
  • incline bench felt strong. Heavy bench day tomorrow, so wasn’t trying for any records here.
  • rest of the workout just pump work.

Today was a good day. Finishing off a good week. Lots of wins in the book.

Let’s get to work.

Work for today; JuggernautAI week 9 day 4:

Warmup: 500m row: 1:51

Bench: 225x5, 200x5, 200x5, 200x5, 200x5, 200x5

Lat pulldown: 150x12, 150x12, 150x12

BTN press: 95x12, 95x12, 95x9

Tricep pushdown: 72.5x12, 72.5x12, 72.5x12

Machine preacher curl: 70x12, 70x12. 70x12

Notes:

  • bench moved well. 225x5 felt heavy, but that’s a decent weight for me at this BW, and it was very controlled reps, no chest bouncing. Not ecstatic or anything, but content with this.
  • hit failure on my last set of BTN press. Tried to catch it on my traps, scraped the hell out of the back of my neck. Whoops.
