G OK When i said you can resume coffee, I didnt mean last night, ha! Seious though thanks for ALL that.
Ya, know, Im not concerned about the people that go to that gym, I think the Bad ass Boxers etc would totally have my back, its the other crowd…anyway, Im SURE its fine. Im just a little primadonerish what can i say ?
SO yea, Im liking where my training is heading. I know what I like, I know what frustrates me etc.
I think I respond to a good amount of volume with decent weight, (having a few prs while in maintenance mode, reminded me of this)
Sooo Some ramping with some higher volume/flat weeks mixed in.
ex: this week sq.95/105/95 next 85/5x5, something like that. I actually like the high volume weeks, they kick my ass but my recovery is good.

Yep, i was referring to the other crowd…gut instinct ya know. You…primadonerish…naw!!!

Edit: btw glad your ready, not a week you would want to go through if ya weren’t lol. I’de really be getting hate mail!

324

Gulp! Well, you certainly left the “figure model” look behind.

How can a girl have so many muscles and still look sexy?

Oh and I like my ink more than bb’ing
By summer my half arm sleeve will be complete and am planning a back piece :smiley:

[/quote]

Wait, you like your ink more than BBing, because you cant compete if you are all inked?

Ill have to get over and see how the meds are helping your training![/quote]

ya, something like that, lol. Doing at least 1 comp had always peaked my interest though. One of those things that I thought I would never do. The ultimate transformation! :slight_smile:
The meds are doing there job I think but Im still adjusting and need an increase or a different brand.

326

Obviously all of your hard work is paying off.

If you do a meet, the SPF is a fun place to do one.

327

Guns look good but your shoulder really sticks out to me. Hella good work.

328

G U N Z…aint nobody gonna fuck with you at the new gym!

CAV OBVIOUSLY, here I am :wink:
Hey I have utmost respect for the bunnies, that is my weak link, conditioning/cardio stamina.

Joe I better kick it up, look what happened to you when that FIRE got HOT! NICE!!

dday Dude the shoulder comment made my day! I hope to see the delts pop out, even a smidgeon more would be nice.

Matty haha me< *kisses bicep, kisses other bi, yup!

PG hahaha -tards, probably nicest guys on earth!

ddot Ya know, I think Ill be more stealth like and slip in unnoticed.

Hey Colin

First let me just say Ive been paying more attention to my warm ups and stretching whenever I think about it.
I do have moments of,“Am I crazy to be doing this to my body?” Then its like I cant help myself, and I do it. I just love the feeling I get thinking about it, doing it, and after how it went and what I need to work on and improve on. I need to get better with praising myself too.

Form not perfect? back has a little roundness while DLing? FUCK, YEA it does, the form will brake down when your lifting HEAVY shit. If I look back, every bump up it does, but then gets better.

Training

conv
95/5
135/5
155/5
175/1
185/5 ugly rep pr

SUMO
135/3
155/3
185/5 pr rep+2

RDL
135 2x6,1x2
120 1x5 used straps, didnt even try reverse, not sure why.

this was out of order, but couldnt get to gym yet, so…

GYM
LEG PRESS
180/8 —>thought it was 160, but had 35s on not 25s, dumb ass
180/5
200/3
180/10

back ext, um no

sl ext 20 1x8,2x7
slcurl 20 3x8, 10 1x10 this single leg work is so humbling. sigh

I had about an hour between the RDL and leg press, felt like it, not even did the spaghetti and meatballs help :stuck_out_tongue:
BOSU BOY was there, the one that squats on that, I realize everyones goals are different and we all train different, but put that bull-shit to the side, its fucking irritating to me. He left all his totally loaded plates on the leg press too which is what gets me more pissed, then i go to press and he has the pin on the first hole, so i jammed my legs, fucker. —>vent over.

EDIT yea, did a little hovering on the 185, the grip and rip factor wasnt used, I get a little feeling sometimes im going to literally pull something(muscle)
need to work on some floor pulls…or so I think.

335

I’m glad you posted, I was about to check that Bosu boy didn’t turn you into an UP-shish-ka-bob.

I have the same conversations with myself about whether or not doing this is good for the body…and the form v. weight predicament too. Honestly though, I thought those DLs looked beautiful. Admittedly I don’t have an eye for form, but I do have a good eye for asses, and you’ve got yourself a good one. :slight_smile:

Yea, form versus weight is a tuff one for me, but it makes me work harder to dial it in.
My legs have been tired lately, so didnt help.Be interested to see what i can RDL being a little more fresh.
Heres to bootie power, booya!

" First let me just say Ive been paying more attention to my warm ups and stretching whenever I think about it.

I think we all go through this as the weights go up. My personal barometer is how I feel the next day…If I start feeling banged up beyond “normal / easily recoverable” levels I take a deload and ease back. Too many folks don’t listen to their bodies and get hurt. You obviously listen…great work!

338

Hey Up! You had an awesome day yesterday. Pr in conv for 5rm, Pr in sumo for 5 rm. Come back an hour later and pr on grinder set of leg press, all following a 10rm pr in fr squat last week. RDl look stronger than i have ever seen! Wow!

What i see is tired legs, didn’t quite have that pop off the floor. What i also see is that you are getting strong. Just a month or 2 ago you wouldn’t have ahd the strength to grind out that set and a sumo set. So i am excited about how your strength will be down the road! Your gonna rock! Also you have the flat weeks built in now so you will have recovery built into the plan (no arguing :))
Awesome job!

Hara so far so good! Yea the deloads are a must for me.

G1 I know, i only went against a deload once…whats that saying fool me once shame on you, fool me twice…Ive behaved ever since!

Yea on legs, Im hoping the FS dont kill me for so long next time, that was crayzee.

LUNCH YUMMMMMMMMM

Your form was way better than Bosu Boy. Go ahead and build all the muscles you want . . . on you they look SEXY!
