Anxious to get back at it.

1064

1065

Good to see you back, don’t leave us hanging like that brah!

1066

Sorry guys. I dunno, just got demotivated to post for a while. I’ve got an assload of homework/work the next two days, but i’ll try to start posting again wednesday and post some updated pics. I’ve leaned up a little and am sitting around 190lbs right now.

Recent PRs:
275lb bench
250x3 bench
225x4 closegrip bench
455x2 deadlift (done at the end of a back workout too)

1067

Congrats on the PRs! Especially the bench considering the weightloss. 275lb bench is a big goal of mine…

Thanks man! I was pretty pumped to hit it for sure.

Ok, so before my workout today I did this tabata yoga class (no homo), and a lot of the poses involve holding yourself up on your arms. Long story short, my shoulders were not a fan, and this carried over to when I tried to bench. So I said screw it, and went for a pump workout. Didn’t lift monday or tuesday, didn’t have time due to working on a project for class. Soo, did chest/bi/tri/abs today.

Haha thanks for the log loyalty MiM! Good to be back.

My split is off this week, but this is pretty much what i’ve been doing as far as back. Lateral delts I cut short but still had a pretty good pump going.

Fin. Back hates me (in a good way)
Oddly, the last couple reps of deads felt like my quads were struggling, which has never happened before on a deadlift. Interesting.

Nope. I need to learn how first.

Did arms saturday, was pretty good, just did a bunch of pump work and supersets.

Hurried through chest/bis yesterday, didn’t have time to wait for a bench, so I did a lot of hammerstr work.

Shoulders were achy today, so I didn’t go too heavy on the pressing, did some higher reps than usual on closegrip too. Used an elbow sleeve for my left arm, which has been aching where the tricep attatches to the elbow, and felt good, no pain today.

Thanks frenchie! I’ve just been slowly leaning up without putting too much effort into it, but I’m actually thinking a clean bulk may be in the near future. lol.

Deadlift

405x3
455x1
Deads were done on this new bar we got, which I’m not crazy about. The knurling starts a lot farther from the center of the bar, so I have to widen my grip and stance a decent amount (probably another 6" apart). 455 went up fast.

Pullups
3x8

Rear delts on inc bench
20’sx20,20,20

Bent over reverse flies
20’sx15,15,15

Done. Good pumpz, rear delts toasted.

1077

a bulk in spring - I like how think. you’ve got your priorities straight.
