Achilles: I wish you would pls. Teach me how to keep aesthetics while powerlifting.

Jake: thanks bud. certain supplements are certainly assisting me in that department. I would rather keep that discussion out of this thread though. :slight_smile:

Spidey: I meant to say, you are looking awesome and lean. Everyone is growing up so fast… tear. Thanks for the compliments. Chest thickness is something I’ve had along the way so you can thank my mom and dad. Arms are improving, but still lag behind quite a bit, especially given my blocky torso (which isn’t apparently from this side shot).

Jab: <3

Much need gym destruction today in the arms department. After Thursday’s delt day fiasco, I needed to redeem myself. Using Evan’s latest as a template (looked rly sexy), I had some fun.

10min stepmill warmup, PVC rolling, etc

Seated supinated DB curls / seated hammer curls / EZ preachers: Arms together on everything unless noted. I wanted to use machine but some foreign guy took it after my first warmup set and when I said I was using it, and that we should work in together, he looked at me blankly and started doing another set. Grr. Didn’t wanna deal with it.
15s x 8 / 8 / 50 x 8 machine warmup
20s x 7 / 7 / bar+25s x 7
30s x 6 / 6 / bar+25s x 6
30s x 6 / 6* / bar+10s x 6
25s x 8 / 8* / bar+10s x 6: couldn’t complete the hammer curls arms together. Pump was too mazin. had to drop the weight on the preachers as well.

EZ bar curls / Incline bench one-armed DB preacher: ridonk.
75 x 8 / 20 x 8 (barely)
95 x 8 / 20 x 6 + 2 partials (lol)

Meadows hammers
35s x 8 LR
45s x 8 LR
50s x 8 LR
30s x 8 LR - each rep held for a 1-2 count squeeze.

Pulldown OH curls: finisher!
50 x 15, 15, 20 . Pain.

Rope pressdowns w/ hard contraction: 30sec rest between sets… fatigue creeps up on ya.
50 x 15
60 x 15, 15, 13
45 x 15

Incline EZ skull/press w/ 3sec negative: these were the most “meh” movement of the day. Bis were so pumped I couldn’t lower it all the way.
75 x 12
95 x 12
125 x 10

Seated OH rope extension: first chunk of reps with a very long and deliberate stretch / squeeze, next portion pump reps. definitely gonna do these more often.
60 x 15 / 10 - ouch
80 x 12 / 10 - omgomgodjgldzjgdfzklgdzgj
80 x 10 / 8 - ksfljgldkfzjgdfkjgdxfjgk
60 x 14 / 8 - lol.

Standing one-armed OH DB extension: slow negative, stretch, flex long head hard at top. With this mirror set up I can see myself from behind as well, so it’s nice to watch your arm doing work.
15 x 20 LR, 15 LR

A bunch of rly painful calf stuff that prob won’t do shit, then 10min stairmaster, 10min incline walking.

So hungry.

462

^ So much volume, have a feeling you can handle it though. Expecting big things BUGGY

463

Today sucked. Forgot to pop some caffeine before heading out the door which was a big mistake. Bought a monster en route to the gym (which does nothing for me, btw), which just made my stomach upset with the carbonation. I was falling asleep throughout the workout, and just couldn’t get into it. Eff working out without some sort of good stim going. That, plus trying some psycho MD Evan workout… sjkzlgfzldfldfjg. W/e. My legs got pumped to shit at least.

10min incline walking, warmup

Seated leg curls
2x15 warmup
110 x 12
125 x 10
110 x 12 w/ 2sec squeezes instead of 1

Leg press (TUT focus) / DB SLDLs: after the first set I was pretty upset at the amount of pain i was in. god. needed more motivation pls.
1 warmup
3pps+25s x 50 / 50s x 6
4pps+25s x 40 / 50s x 6
6pps x 30 / 50s x 6

Ever tried Amp or Rockstar Punched?

In all seriousness, both of those work for me without makin me feel crappy like Monster (the actual brand) does

466

Long, frustrating day of work today, but I did well eating-wise, so I was nice and bloofy when I got into the gym. Jacked up the stim dose to make up for sunday and had myself a sexual chest + tris workout. Don’t think i’ve ever pumped so much blood (lol) into my longhead (lolx2) before. Went in a few different directions on a whim and due to the situation and it turned out nicely.

Thorough warmup, blast music, get angry

Low-incline DB press: 2sec stretch, 2sec squeeze. For some reason, this got my forearms REALLY pumped (residual pump from Saturday?) and made the subsequent exercises very difficult. I mean, PAINFULLY pumped, like couldn’t make a fist at all. My one gifted bodypart… lol.
30s x 15
45s x 12
60s x 12
75s x 10 Oooof. So much blood.

Smith flat bench: all benches taken by groups of azns and br0stars. Hadn’t done smith flat in forever, and figured without a solid grip, I wouldn’t be able to give flat barbell the performance she deserves. This went very well.
135 x 20
225 x 15
275 x 10
315 x 8
365 x 6 Last one was a grinder but man that felt nice.
225 x 10 full deload on chest, explode and squeeze.

Cable flies: chest was so fried. Nice stretch and squeeze on each
~100 x 12, 12, 10 drop 60 x 8

Machine press: first number of reps = slow negative, 1sec squeeze, second number of reps = pump reps.
125 x 10 / 10
125 x 8 / 8
125 x 6 / 6 + partials. Stretch. God.

Rope pressdowns: Turned the above rape ^ into a murder. First portion of reps = hard squeeze, second portion = pump.
50 x 10 / 10
60 x 10 / 10
70 x 10 / 10
80 x 8 / 8
90 x 8 / 6
100 x 6 / 6

Decline DB skulls - longhead focus: Wowwww, after the above, these were total brutality.
22.5s x 12, 10, 10, 9 + partials

Seated OH DB extension / Meadows kickbacks: slKjgzslkfjgkdfzjgjdfzhg. Never in my life has my longhead felt like such a baloon. No rest really.
50 x 20 / 15s x 10
50 x 15 / 15s x 10
50 x 12 / 15s x 8

Hello mate, i’m sure you’re sick of hearing this from randoms but i’m a massive fan of your work also. Followed all your logs from the beginning years ago as you seemed the most similar lifter on this site to me (albeit much stronger than I am). Good luck with your training & hope you can stop by my own log sometime!

478

Welcome creepyinternetguy! stop by more often. That’s cool to hear you’ve been following me. Feelsgoodman. Judging by your avi, you don’t seem to be behind me at all. I’ll drop by your log soon. Cheers bud.

I’m flying back to good ol’ Boston this evening. Had an amazing time here in Austin with friends and family. My batteries are recharged and I’m ready to grind out another half year of work. However, all the bad eating and drinking is catching up to me and I’m feeling a little oompa loompa-esque. Might get a quick leg session in a little bit before heading to the airport at the country club gym… Lol.
