Bug: THAT Guy

Training Training Logs
481

spar: I’m guessing that’s just your reflection from your computer screen.

Beast chest session I must say. From getting in late last night, I didn’t sleep much and was dragging ass all day, falling asleep during a boring webinar… and I had a bit of a mild headache that wouldn’t go away. Also, not sure why I had a lot of tightness in my leftside chest/trap/lat/arm/shoulder region. Spent awhile loosening it up and it wasn’t really happening, even after the cable flies, so I figured I was screwed, weight wise. I was wrong.

Thorough warmup

Cable flies: nice squeezes obvi
40 x 15
50 x 15
– Work sets: Last rep held a 10sec squeeze. Ouch.
110 x 10
130 x 10
150 x 10

Flat bench: reps felt strong and explosive. After the 275 warmup set, I knew it’d be good.
135 x 15
185 x 12
225 x 10
275 x 6 - like nothin, last rep paused
315 x 10+1 - Uhh lol wut? There was a jacked black dude that looked like Flex Wheeler I got to spot me, gave me a terrible handoff (picked it up and dropped it on me), and he arguably prematurely helped on the last rep. O well. I was really happy with this set.

Incline smith bench: slow negative, no lockout
185 x 25
225 x 15
275 x 7 + 2 - gassed, lol. drop 225 x 6

Cross-body one-armed HS incline: with 2sec squeezes
1 plate x 8 LR, 8 LR, 8 LR + 5 top squeezes + 5 bottom half ROM. Chest stretch.

Rope pressdowns / Incline DB curls: Pressdowns first half reps = 1sec squeeze, second half TUT / Curls = hard contraction slow neg.
50 x 25 / 15s x 25
60 x 20 / 25s x 20
70 x 16 / 25s x 15

Seated rope OH extensions / Straight-bar curls: slow neg/stretch emphasis on extensions, 2-3sec negs on curls
something x a lot / 65 x 10 → 3x

Meadows hammers / Meadows kickbacks: hard squeeze on both
35s x 10 LR / 15s x 10
35s x 10 LR / 15s x 10
35s x 8 LR / 15s x 10
25s x 10 LR long squeeze / 10s x 10

Stretch. 20min incline walking. Nothing terribly special for the arm work but wasn’t bad. These past couple weeks of work trips and vacay home I feel I’ve let myself go a bit so I’m going to tighten the reigns and see if I can get myself looking better in 1 week’s time when I go to the Dominican Republic for a week with my buddies. Leggo!

Dude, sick nasty bench press. It’s like Bug from yesteryear. Bench numbers finally big and bad again after that little drop off you suffered from the Japan trip, nice!

483

I think he gave you a bad handoff because he was so intimidated by the secksies of bugaperfect.

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!

No I dont think you understand. He looked literally 2 weeks out from a national level show. Ok not srs in terms of size, but he was shredded, huge arms, tiny waist, perfect shapes and insertions. fml.

Thx Austin. Assistance is nice nomsayin.

Gmoore, welcome aboard sir! Creep away.

486

Maybe you should have the spotter drop the weight on you all the time. Nice pressing.

I had 2 session like that last week, where i felt like shit and wanted to sleep before getting in the gym but once warmed up had kick ass sessions. Cant always do what your mind really wants.

Those guys eh. Sounds like the guy I know from my gym with Phil Heath upper body genetics who hardly trains arms. FOLs

Holiday for buggy so soon too, expecting some sessi holiday pics. I will have mine, but I predict them to be 5% as sessi as yours, if I’m lucky.

Oh yeah, awesome pressing. Seems trainings clicking for you at the moment.

I’m doing literally exactly that. Plz tell me it was amazin’.

Jake, I assure you I’m not lean at all anymore. Smoothed over a lot, especially in the last few weeks. That’s what I get for thinking I can eat burritos and cookies daily and not get fat. Only a matter of time! S’okay, “live and learn”, right? It will still be a good time, and I’ve never had a problem pulling teh ladies even if I’m not shred. Though it helps. SO EXCITE AHH CAN THIS WEEK PLZ BE OVER.

Got a decent amount of sleep (for me… around 6.5hrs), feeling pretty good this morning, excited to hit back tonight. Feeling fat though and my waist is taping larger than it was a few weeks ago (ololo). Thus, might as well put this fatness to use and move some decent weight on the deadlift. If I could get 585 for 2-3, I’d be pleased. BUT we shall see.

496

dude mazin is not the word. my day went gym eat shower eat drink at the pool eat drink at the pool shower bang eat chill for the whole week.

tip your server $5-10 (try to sit in the same section at the buffet or chill in the same part of the pool) and they’ll be your friend for the day.

btw my spotter cleaned the bar up and dropped it on me when benching today. I know dat feel bro.

Just so you know, I am much more proud of your 315x10 bench than your veiny arms :slight_smile:

Awesomeness round 2. I told myself I was gonna slaughter 585, and slaughter it I did, despite feeling like a goddamned balloon from a whey shake. Myofusion does not sit well with me apparently. Anywho, slow day at work overall, I was kinda out of it when I got to the gym but as always, stims kicked in, had a good warmup, and got to killing it.

Warmup

Wide-grip pulldowns w/ 2sec hold + long stretch: these were sexual. Lat cramps out the wazoo.
90 x 10
110 x 10
130 x 10
150 x 8
170 x 8
190 x 6

Deadlifts: form felt spot on, reps were exploding off the floor.
135 x 3
225 x 3
315 x 3
405 x 3
495 x 3
545 x 1
585 x 3: all time PR. GET SOME MOTHERFUCKERS. Been YEARS since I’ve been able to say that. Happy day.

One-armed barbell rows / Meadows rows: sick fucking superset. I saw some Antoine Valliant vid and he was doing this, so on a whim I tried them out. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I was sweating fucking bullets. Great form obvi.
+50lbs x 10 / 10
+75lbs x 8 / 8
+75lbs x 8 / 8

Seated cable rows: 1 1/2 reps
100 x 8, 8, 8, 8

Back hyperextensions: 3 sets x 12 BW. Then hanging latstretch with a 45. Too tired to do abs olol, so 20min incline walking to finish.

Short and sweet.
