loookin strong!
ink- I re read your post. I’m not an underwear guy… but I’ll have to swoop some up I guess.
Spidey- I hope you’re right man. I would be really excited if I could hit a 3,4,5 something total. that would be pretty incredible. DLing 500 would be rad.
WF- I know what you’re saying but with 531 you’re progressively hitting heavier weight. This week will be heavier weight/lower reps and the next week it goes up again. So i’ll be getting in heavy singles… we shall see though.
phlegms- thanks man. I’m trying lol
elmore- gracias mi amigo
Ok so I got into the gym today for shoulders day. I’m thinking that I’m going to not do my training “weeks” in the traditional 7 day sense so that I can get in more workouts before the meet. I should be able to squeeze one extra week of training out of my time this way.
Smith Press 531
175 x 3
200 x 3
225 x 5 (i might have over estimated my max at being 275 lol… these were HEAVY! and my shoulder press sucks)
DB Incline:
65 x 10
75 x 10
90 x 10
100 x 10
95 x 10
Pull Ups supersetted with PJR’s w/ EZ Bar
5 x 10 & 35lbs on each side 5 x 10
pretty decent workout. I hit the gym this morning totally fasted and I think my workout suffered a little bit. Not too bad though. Looking forward to some DL’s tomorrow. I’ll catch up on the logs tomorrow as well. Take it easy
long day today. Started class again.
Had class from 9 till 4 and then was stuck in traffic for 40 minutes on a 10 mile transit (the worst ever!) and then had to work an event at 5:30 till 9. I had an apple, two shakes and a chicken kabob plate with extra chicken from this greek place… but nothing within 2-3 hours of the gym.
was short on time today so I cut the accessory work down to 3 sets of 10 instead of 5.
DeadLifts 531
280 x 3
320 x 3
360 x 6 (lol. these felt like booty. my hip/groin was starting to hurt so I stopped at 6)
GHR:
3 x 10
Lunges: used a barbell this time instead of DB’s
135 x 10, 10, 10
Preacher Curls w/ EZ:
25 on each side x 10
45 on each side x 10, 8
leg levers:
3 x 10
and done. Gym trip didnt feel that great. My knee is a little sore so I’m icing it now and watchin tv. Gonna hit the gym early tomorrow and then I have class after that. BW was 216 today. I keep gaining weight… WFT?

I know how this feels! Your like “F**k you scales, obey me” LOL!
^ I know exactly how that feels.
Simple solution…quit weighing yourself! 
Slow down on gaining all that mass bro, you’ll be over 220! Haha
Dude wtf you’re pretty damn lean for 216. How tall are you again? 5’11"?
I like how all of your sessions end with arm work.
Oregand- hahaha I wish it was that easy
MiM- yeah that is a pretty simple solution but I’m just trying to keep track of my weight a little bit. I don’t want to get back up to 220 cause it didn’t feel good on my knees and my right knee is already acting up 
Ink- I know right? I don’t know what’s happening TBH.
Bug- yeah I was 216. Since I’ve added the coconut oil to my diet (and a fee free range meats here and there) I’ve gone from a consistent 212 up to 216-217? Not really sure what’s going on with that. Yeah and im 5’11" I feel like I’m gaining a little bit of size in back/legs and shoulders (maybe shoulders is wishful thinking cause they’re my worst part) but it’s just kinda strange cause my cals can’t be over 3,000 a day and it appears that I’ve put on almost 5lbs in the last 2 weeks? Weird. Oh and I started taking Receptromax during that timeframe as well? That’s the only real things that I’ve changed.
WhiteFlash- I’m trying to come up a little bit. A little bit of extra curls and tricep push downs never hurt anyone

Interesting. I started losing weight/fat/water noticeably about 6-7 days after starting the above… well as long as it’s good weight, that’s the point, right!? Keep us updated.
I feel you on the extra arm work my measily arms are only 16 inches
I get wood when the scale goes up
Sometimes I wear a bookbag with weight in it while on a scale

If you haven’t changed any of your food since adding VCO, you could be adding a significant amount of calories with a few servings of coconut oil. I suspect you know this but since you’re putting on weight it bears mentioning.
My personal opinion is that signing up for a PL comp is making you fat, you have to be fat to PL doncha know. Wouldn’t be shocked if you barely make it under the 242 class by the time of the comp.

LOLZ!!!
Just catching up with my CA neighbor. Good grief on that deadlift PR. And it sounds like you are headed toward having to buy everything custom with regards to the chest. Or better learn to take in some huge shirts!
Gregron, any new plans to start up a personal training/ boot camp thing down there? You mentioned thinking about doing something with your fiance. Let me know if you do it. I’d totally come down there sometime.

x2, and I’ll be your demo dummy, showing erryone how NOT to perform stuff.
I was just at Costco and saw a big dude working the food counter with big ass arms, named “Greg”, and I was like “OMG IT’S GREG…Oh wait…no 'stache…poser”
True story
kinda
Found the underwear you’ll need at Costco too, handy when you go for an “all out” deadlift on your 3rd attempt
So swole you gain lean muscle mass without even trying, GAWSH let the rest of us genetic plebs catch up dude!
Damn dude your a MANIMAL!
Bug- yeah you’re right. I’m gonna keep track of food/cals for the next few days and see what happens.
Elmore- bigger arms are always nice. I’ve just recently started hitting mine more often and I like it
Rock- I used to be the same way… but I dont want to be 220+ Thats not really my goal
scj- To address your comment correctly… I know what you’re saying. I have added in 2 tablespoons of VCO a day and which is less than 300 cals a day extra. I dont think that would be enough to cause this weight gain? But good looking out bud
Puff- Hey you! how are you? hahaha I’m not sure about the custom shirts and all… but thanks! I just never have to button the top one on my shirts so that makes it easier to find ones that fit Havent started out the bootcamp thing yet but i’ve been talking about it more with my girl. I’ve been compiling pieces of equipment for it here and there
Ink- lol… My brother used to work at Costco years ago, does that count? I need those undies!
phlegms- hahaha I wish that was true. Maybe i’m just secretly becoming a fat slob over here like scj said lol
Matty- I literally just posted in your log! What are the odds? Thanks for the kind words man, appreciate it.
ok so today is an off day for me. Gonna hit the gym tomorrow for Chest and hopefully smash some Bench. My fiance got a raise today (yay!) and also found out that when her firm signs this new contract that she’s going to be doing the interior design for a national chain restaurant! Pretty bad ass. So anytime one of them is franchised out they will have to be putting her work into their place. Super cool. Tonight is going to be a celebration night. Trying to decide if I’m going to buy steaks and a nice bottle of wine to make dinner for her or take her out for sushi?
Decisions decisions.
