Bug: Luvin U

Training Training Logs
981

In general, diet has been semi-shitty since I’ve started working. I’m good about eating clean when it’s not in front of me, but being in this new environment, someone is ALWAYS bringing cookies, candy, chocolates, etc, people always want me to go to lunch with them (because I’m so cool), so temptations are there. I warned my “inner circle” of my upcoming diet so they know the drill. This week has been like RFL Lite: small, low-to-no carb lunches, some carbs pre-WO, then a hefty meal post. Nothing fancy. Chicken, turkey, or tuna are usually my lunch protein sources, PWO is those or beef. Rice or ezekiel break post as well. I eat Greek yogurt too when I feel like it.

Next week will be legit RFL. Last time I tried was right before moving here and only did it a week before it got thrown off, but saw visible changes in that week, so I’m excited to give it a full run of potentially 4 total weeks.

Lean Bug Plz.

Sounds good man, Im looking forward to seeing some pics, ive been eating a bit less too and going to go hard for the next 3 weeks because i have a wedding end of jan i wanna look HAWT for lol.

The forearm pump thing is weird, but 115sx10 on incline is solid!

983

Yeah, it is weird. I didn’t do anything weird r strain my grip/forearms too much yesterday. Oh well, it happens. Silly forearms.

115s for 10 is weaksauce lol. On a regular day I think I’m good for 125s x 12~ currently. idk

Yay.

I’ve been looking more into RFL for when I want to do a mini-diet. Seems appealing.

985

Good work on getting that diet locked down. I really hope I can make huge strides towards “being bug” in the next 6-12 months <3

I don’t have a problem with rejecting crazy amounts of christmas desserts or looking antisocial at work when I turn down free food (I’m such a dick) but this is the first time in awhile I’ve really eaten enough for weight gain. #omg190morningweightsoheavytrolol

986

Ya you will prob surpass me in 5-6 months tbh.

DaChamp aka Coach aka Guru-Sensei told me what to do for legs today. So this is what I did.

Long warmup. Back is really sore, chest/front delts are really sore.

Lying leg curls w/ TRUE 3 sec negatives – the bomb
65 x 12
80 x 12
95 x 10
110 x 10
125 x 10

Back squats – took my time with these. Something’s feeling off with squats lately.
135 x 10
225 x 10
315 x 3 – didn’t feel that easy…
365 x 8 – a bit of a battle
385 x 3
405 x 4 – w/e. Thought of Evan breezing through 500 after this set and cried a little bit.

One-legged leg press – no rest
1pps x 12 LR → 3 sets

Deficit SLDLs – standing on a tall as eff box. Just about touched my feet with the bar each rep. Slow negs, forceful squeezes at the top
95 x 12
135 x 12
185 x 10
225 x 9

Leg extensions - kinda half-assed. Don’t like their leg ext. machine at all.
3 sets of 15.

Hyper extensions (glute squeeze) / Seated calf raises - 4 sets.

Cool down. Not bad all in all. Heading to NYC tomorrow after lunch for the long weekend. Hopefully it’s a good one. Should get in a delts + arms session on Saturday before raging. woot woot.

987

Only 5 lbs until I’m as big as you! You mirin’? Yeh, you mirin’.

988

If I make that much progress in 6 months, I might cry from happyness. Your way too modest. Good looking leg session bug, 405 for reps is still no joke, especially for your weight. (lets ignore evan for now lol)

989

Posting from my phone. Last night was roughhh, but I soldiered into the gym, hangover and all, today and had a pretty good workout. Went to an NYSC and coulda sworn I saw Masch but I dont think it was her. Fml woulda been awesome.

Lateral raises
15s x 15
22.5s x 15
30s x 12
40s x 12
55s x 10 – I haven’t really done straight up lat raises by themselves with decent weight in awhile. Def struggled lol.

BUG: I’ve had the same problem re forearms (feel free to to insert masturbation joke). BBB recommended a foam rolling technique which help me immensely, I basically has RSI from all of the gripping of weights since I’ve never used straps; it happened when I was on 5/3/1 since I was DLing every week without straps, doing hanging leg raises and loads of dumbbell work on top of my job as an electrician, thats all I could attribute it to.

I’ll try and explain it as I can’t find a video on youtube: stand sideways and lean into the wall with a foam roller against your forearm so your body weight is pushing the foam roller into your forearm which is braced against the wall. You may want/need to stand on your toes then bend your knees as you go lower so you can massage the entire forearm and hit the aching tissue. Then, whilst your doing this start opening and closing your fist whilst moving your wrist as if you were doing wrist curls. I hope this makes sense. Another exercise is working the extensors (the muscles which open the hand) by opening the hand against resistance.

I hope this helps.

HolyMac – honestly man, I felt like I was stuck in that natty intermediate rut until I started running 360 Muscle. thanks again for all your support. KIU

Masch – o rly!? haha! we’ll definitely have to catch a workout. Hope you had a great new years :slight_smile:

Black – no u

jake – no u 2

Got back from NYC via bus before 7, so decided despite being pretty beat from the weekend, to get in a workout and kickstart the week. It was a good decision. Had a great workout. Lifted at a different BSC near my apartment that I thought I didn’t like, but it was actually very good. Will go back more often.

Low-cable one-armed rows – braced non-working arm, feet together, leaning in, row to lower lat and hold. awesome.
5 sets of 12 per side.

Lat pulldowns – really good pulldown mschine and attachment. Loved it. Very strict
100 x 10
120 x 10
140 x 10
170 x 10
200 x 10
230 x 8 – not as strict

Meadows rows on chest-supported t-bar – meh, couldn’t get the position right on this
1 plate x 10 LR
2 plates x 10 LR
25s + 2 plates x 10 LR

Deadlifts – fucking hex plates. Didn’t feel that strong today.
135 x 5
225 x 3
315 x 3
405 x 2
455 x 2
475 x 2
495 x 3 - maybe one and a grinder left in the tank. FML

Inverted rows / low-pulley mid-back shrugs – basically put on 2 handles, arch back, shrug and row a little to like, belly button. insane contraction.
3 supersets, roughly 10 reps for everything.

Bent-over rear delt flies
15s x 25
25s x 20
45s x 15 drop 15s x 15

EZ preacher curls – really liked the EZ bar. intense MM focus. After 3rd set my bis were cramping up really hard.
10/side x 25~
20/side x 20~
20/side x 15~
20/side x 10 (inner grip)

Meadows cable hammers – like the love child between a Meadows hammer curl and a Cordova extension. Will take some work to find the exact spot
4 sets of 15 LR

One-armed DB curls – GOD THE LIGHTING WAS SO GOOD I WANTED TO LIVE IN IT
15 x 20 LR
20 x 15 LR
25 x 12 LR

stretch, bounce. insane pump. felt good. RFL starts tomorrow fml. more 3 letter acronyms plz.
