Love hitting legs on monday, gets it out of the way, and since its monday, everybody else is benching today, so all the racks are empty.

After my 2 planned sets of GMs, I decided I’d left too much in the tank, and I’m glad I did that extra set. I just realized yesterday that I only own 505 lbs…so if I’m going to hit that 510 deadlift I need to buy more weights haha.

Thanks for the compliments, brothers.

Death to puny triceps! :smiley:
Don’t forget that In-Human, Dante and PJR are responsible for me even knowing those exercises… Some cheers to them as well :wink:

Week 2 of the new program. Solid session in the gym last night.

Squat - 6x4
265x4 for all 4 sets.

Bench - 6x2
230x2 for all 6 sets.

My bench seems to be feeling stronger each week, it’s freakin’ awesome. Also I’m really working on my squat form each time I squat, trying sit back, keep the arch and lead with my chest. It’s getting there.

Question for ya’ll. My hunger seems to be kicking into overdrive. I know that I’m not eating enough but damn, I woke up at about 6am today and my stomach was hurting. Is that normal? And still right now my stomach is killing me after breakfast.

I’ve never experienced hunger like this before on a training program. Damn.

“KROC” rows -
right arm - 100 lbs x 27
lef arm - 100 lbs x 30

Hammerstrength Preach curl (love this fucker)

4x6-8 @ 80 lbs

Pinwheel curls -

50’s x 8 each
60’s x 7 each
60’s x 8 each
60’s x 6 each

Comments: Maybe its because i finally feel settled in the new city, or that i got plenty of food in me this weekend, or maybe it was the POT of coffee i drank during my shift this morning at the gym.

But I was ready to hit the God Damn weights by the time 9 a.m rolled around.

Looking forward to hitting chest and triceps tomorrow.

Dre, eat more food, just keep it “cleanish”

I used to wake up with hunger pains as well… Had to eat every 2.5 hours or I’d get terribly hungry (no matter how much I ate beforehand).
These days I have to fight to keep the food in, though… Digestive enzymes and such helped, but I seem to be approaching my limit as far as food intake goes. Thank god for olive oil.

Yeah one of the biggest/strongest guys in our gym has similar issues and my buddy was telling me he’s been helping him with it also. So hopefully it will work for me too. lol
