Bulldog: Working on regaining man card

Yer this can be tricky especially if he has a history of blowing his back up. I can usually cope with volume for a few weeks and then it is time to back off.

Love this song. It’s on my lifting playlist. :smiling_face:

Well got the tape measure out … I can honestly say im actually seeing some minor “ recomp” going on. Since i measured last time my waist is down around 2.5 inches and my right arm is up 1/4 inch.

I wish I would have done measurements. The scale is moving and my clothes are fitting better, but I swear when I take photos it looks exactly the same. :face_with_symbols_on_mouth: Irritating. Glad you are seeing results. :smiling_face:

Yeah … I find depending on your own mental self image bias. Basing progress on pics or the mirror can be deceptive. So me personally , I try to use several different things to track progressing.

I feel like I see it when I look in the mirror. Then I do pics and I’m like WTF is happening here? Meh. Progress is progress. Even if my camera is a dick.

This can be weird. I’ve been obese and I’ve been really healthy and strong but I always think of myself as a fluffy girl regardless of what I actually look like. So in the past when I’ve had people tell me " you’re so tiny" or “you’re in really good shape” I’m always caught completely off guard. I identify as chubby. Lol. Hard to get past that thought.

Great….

Woke up feeling like I have been hit by a bus. Pretty sure i picked up a bug.Guess ill bump today’s session to Monday.

Maybe try neutral grip weighted pullups with a weight belt. I’ve read that unweighted pullups are just cardo. If you’re doing a bunch of neutra grip ones, it’s time to try wide grip ones. (unweighted for sure at first).

I will eventually once im hitting say 10 reps per set.

At the moment im just working on trying to get profesent at them again.

Pup…

Squat: 3x 8…. Widen my stance slightly. Which helped lock in my groove

Lever squats: 3 x 12

Reverse lunges: 3 x10 experimented and used the lever squat for these.

Reverse hypers : 3 x 15

Standing cable crunches: 5 x 10

Definitely was a good idea to bump this session to today.

Great lifting. Camera angle makes it look like he’s got significantly more plates per side.

I personally despise bumpers on non weight lifting movements online.

That is not a pup. That is a beast.
