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. ![]()
Zombie is the man
Yeah… hes doing allot of volume on squats also. So thats playing into my view point at the moment.
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.
Irritating. Glad you are seeing results. ![]()
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.
That’s not unusual in allot of people.

Neutral Grip Pull-Up: a bunch
One arm DB rows. 3 x 6- 8
Close grip pull downs: 3 x 8
Seated rows: ( bench width /touch point) 3x10
Kelso shrug: 3 x 12
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…
3x2@ 535lbs
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.
