Son of a bitch my right pec is acting up again, really pissing me off!!! Damn tendons just need to keep up for fucks sake.
Anyways, chest tri’s today.
bench: 425 x2.75 This really pissed me off, I just could not for the life of me lock out the 3rd rep lol
Incline: 375x2 5 lb PR for same # of reps

Josh, how do you cook it? I find sometimes it just gets too dry… and if it’s too fatty (because, say, it was on sale), then the smell of the lard makes me nauseous. Haha, thanks brotha
Cook it in crumbles in a pan… when browned toss it in a pasta strainer and run very hot water all over till it runs clear. Fat content is reduced immensely, I’ve seen 50-66%.
Return to pan(rinse the pan as well) and add seasoning of your choice. [/quote]
well shit dude you whooped my as in that explanation haha
I’m off to wendy’s to do my weekly cheat meal. 4 double stackers for $4 FTW!!!

xb-c, my two cents,
All the stuff CC is recommending is great, but I think before you move into another high volume routine, you need to give your body a rest. 5/3/1 set up would be perfect, and I’m talking 5/3/1 without a huge amount of accessory. Just maybe a month or two, drive up your main lifts, then continue with the high volume stuff. I really think you could benefit from just eating huge(er), and trying to get strong as balls(er). [/quote]
I agree with this. I was in a similiar situation as xb, training 6 days a week and joints getting sore. I was doing so much pressing my shoulders were killing me and I ended up taking 2.5 months from pressing altogether. Down to 4 days a week focusing on strength now and its working great. I don’t think you really have the strength to be doing techniques such as drop sets effectively just yet anyway.
I second what CC said about you going to chest on inclines and such. You have longer arms then me, but I remember watching one of your vids and thinking how uncomfortable it looked for your shoulders.
And start taking fish oil. Soon as I stop taking it, my joints let me know about it.
Arm day
Smith Reverse Grips 245x10
Dead Skulls(I think? I may be misinterpreting how people explain to do it) 105x8
BB Curl 125x8
Pinwheels(straps) 75’sx10 each
Some mini ez-curl cable extensions/curls for lots of reps before heading out the door.
I tried bbb’s suggestions to use straps on BB curls for my stupid wrist/forearm problem, didn’t seem to help. I manned through my top set but it was painful as fuck, and I really think I’m going to just not do them again for quite some time. I need another replacement “main” movement, I do arms twice a week(trying to really bring them up) and on my other day it’s alt-DB curls, something where my hands don’t have to be fully supinated all the time.
Did some big boy bi’s yesterday.

MEUB
Shirt Bench
Warmed up to a 365lbs off a 3 Board, then the Epic Fail began
4 Board 405 - Didn’t even move
4 Board 405 - Didn’t move yet again
4 Board 455 - single, nearly impossible to row down
4 Board 455x3 - success
JM Press 295lbs 3x5
Facepulls 3x20 90lbs
Scarecrows 3x15 30lbs
Chins Mini Band - 8,8,8,5,8
BB Curls 6,5,5 105lbs
Apparently, the shirt is too small for me, and my training partners think it would take 550-600lbs in order for my shirt to touch, problem is, I’m not strong enough for that, so I have to drop some fat. I’m 205lbs atm, and I need to be somewhere between 190lbs-195lbs in order to be ok. Any tips?

Maybe start doing morning fasted cardio 2-3 a week or something. If that dosn’t work, then I would look to your diet and maybe do a carb rotation of some sort.

Looks like I’ll be doing LL’s Temporal Nutrition and Fasted Cardio.
@ JB, yeah my biceps are strong always have been. I think its cause I’ve focused on them so hard for so long. Its a blessing and a curse because it sometimes takes its toll on my back workouts.
@ Live, I think he’s referring to the 1753 and a 1358 aint bad either I definetely had gas in the tank.

What I got into the habit of doing a little while back is just making tacos without the shell.
Ground beef, seasoning, toss some salsa/lettuce in there, maybe sprinkle some cheese and add a dollop of sour cream every now and then. Top it off with some taco sauce, and you’re good to go.
Plain ground beef DOES suck after a while… and the best part about the above is that the kcal from non-meat additions is, for the most part, negligible (taco seasoning, sauce, salsa and lettuce all have nothing to them… and the cheese/sour cream can be added judiciously depending on your goals).
Might be worth a shot.

haha I was wondering the same thing, there’s no way I could even use 90’s and be even remotely productive with them.
