AM: 35 min FMC

PM: schoolwork! Wrote a paper on consequential vs. non-consequential ethics…Kant vs. Utilitarians…Then finished it up with some statistics! What a day! I woke up at 12 noon then got to it! Some much needed rest after a long week! Anyway, I’m feeling a bit leaner while hitting PRs in the gym, what more can a man ask for?

Heya!

That’s a great log. You’re progressing well. Still have to add some beef to your frame, but your shape is good and so is your symmetry. Traps and back will be your strong bodyparts, I suppose.
Keep up the great work!

Cheers, PA

Good workout. Crapped out halfway through, but finished anyway! Literally daydreaming about my cheat meal tomorrow!

UPDATE:

I’m about to find out what schools I got into in ~ 1 month…I’m very excited! I’'ve already gotten into UC Davis and UC Santa Cruz, but I’m really hoping for UC Berkeley…We’ll see.

Also, I’m already tired of dieting lol! Every single day is challenging, but manageable. I just feel like I’m wasting time, which I am!!! AHHHHHH. I’m still hitting PRs in the gym, but I wanna hit 220 lbs BW already, damn! When I finish up this competition thing, I’m going to get swole up from the floor up, just wait and see!

BTW, tomorrow is my cheat meal, and I’m cumming in my metaphorical panties! I’m prob gonna have ~4-6 cups oats and a quart of 1/2 fat ice cream! CANNOT WAIT!!!

Hey, you’re still hitting PRs so that’s something.

Are you an incoming freshman or are you transferring?

Keep putting in good work man :slight_smile:

Solid goals man. I’ll race you to a 315 front squat :stuck_out_tongue: Eh, why not throw in the 500 DL.

word, it’s gonna take a lot of hard work, but I’m in!

Wouldn’t have it any other way. All the hard work needed makes it worthwhile.

UPDATE:

Yesterday (Thursday nigh post-training) was my weekly skipload/carb-up/whatever you wanna call it. I literally wait all week for this, and when it gets there, its meh. But either way, I trained legs HARD from 4:30 until 6:00, went home, had 1.5 cups oats w/ 1 scoop whey. Waited a few hours, had 1 quart of 1/2 fat caramel delight ice cream! Followed that up w/ 3.5 cups oats and 2 more scoops whey.

So, total for my skipload:

  • 1 quart reduced fat ice cream
  • 5 cups oats w/ 2 scoops whey

Don’t know how much or what the macros are, just know that it was awesome! I’m about to go do some medium/hard cardio now to get things moving again, can’t wait to start my next bulk and get bigger! Either way, I’m loving my new DL PR!!!

4/2

AM: 40 min FMC
PM: SHOULDERS

Hang Cleans - 135 x 3, 155 x 3, 190 fail, 185 fail, 185 fail, pissed off!!!

DB Shoulder Press - 50s x 12, 60s x 8, 60s x 12, 75s x 6

Leaning Lat Raise - 27.5s x 8 x 3 sets (PR)
Rear Delt - 22.5s x 8 x 3 sets (PR)

DB Front Raise - 30s x 10, 35s x 8, 40s x 6, 27.5s x 6 - could have gone up to 45s, maybe even 50s…

BB Shrugs - straps on - 315 x 12, 405 x 8, 425 x 4 (PR), 335 x 10

NOTES: I don’t know why i missed the 185 on the hang cleans - I’ve been stuck at that weight for the past few weeks…That’s a tough case to crack. Anyway, I felt like I could’ve pushed the DB Presses up to 80s, and the front raises felt good - could’ve went up more as well. I also subbed standing lat raise with leaning lat raises (thanks Mighty Stu) and I loved them! All in all good training session.

On a side note, I got my official acceptance letter from UC Santa Cruz, and I’m already guaranteed a spot at UC Davis. I’m hoping on UC Berkeley or UCLA, but it’s comforting to know you’re in somewhere (that’s what she said?)

Today was a “meh” day. I wasn’t really feeling it. Anyway, I decided to lower the weight a little on back exercises and actually focus on using my back. I get carried away with wanting to go heavier and heavier and end up using supporting muscles instead of actually feeling a mind/muscle connection.
