Idk if I’ll get flamed for this but… I drink every weekend and still have been making the best progress of my life as my eating and training is perfect atm, I think people exaggerate the negatives of alcohol, as long as you give nutrition and training your all. [/quote]
I will have to respectfully disagree here. I’ve can make progress while going out every weekend, but I can make better progress if I pick my battles a little more wisely. Even discounting the effects of alcohol, you still eat crap (or don’t eat on schedule) and stay up late when you’re drinking which isn’t the best. If you’re scheduled to train the next day, you will probably have a sub-par session as well.
But I get it. It’s college. Live your life, but once the novelty of partying hard in college wears off, then you’ll have choices to make. Though the novelty’s worn off for me, I still like to party hard, I just make it an occasional thing instead of a regular thing. Both my lifting and grades have improved and, in some ways, it’s more of a satisfying treat that way anyway.

x2 on this. I’m weak for days after a night of drinking and my hormones are all sorta of fucked up, making me pretty moody. I just finished college about a year ago and have really stopped drinking. I have also made better gains in a year of not drinking than 5 years of college drinking. To get to the next level of training, drinking does not fit into that equation.

With a rice cooker its normaly 2 to 1 ratio for basmati/jasmine rice.
So 1/4 cup would be half a cup of water.
I was wondering chobbs, seeing as we are doing the same routine, which day do you find the hardest?
I find Pull completely kicks my ass and takes the longest as well, i think its starting with 5x20 leg press that really smashes me at the start.

1 cup water for 1cup dry rice
Im not sure about 1/4 dry = 1cup, I just make a batch of 6cups of dry rice every now and then lol
It’s not the hardest per say, but I can’t use the weight I’d like to use on the second push day with incline DB then decline bb then pec deck then shoulder presses…my pressing weight has went down ALOT lol so has my ego

Yeah bye the time u get to the shoulder press they are pretty smoked.
1/4 cup dry = 3/4 cup cooked…supposedly. If you really care, I’d figure out how many servings you put in the pot and then weigh the pot afterwards and split it into evenly measured servings by weight, not volume.
hey, just letting you know i am watching your thread, and i am pulling for you! keep it up.

how about training days?
The exercises changes are OK
