Had to really move fast in today’s chest and back session as I had to fit it in between two calls. That meant shorter rest breaks, no music, no posing or stretching between sets. Just hard sets, about 30 seconds to catch my breath and repeat. Managed to get it finished in 55 minutes! The pump was fantastic. This was just what I needed. I think the steak and potatoes from yesterday really fueled me for this bust ass session today!

Rest day today, but hit a new low weight PR. 187.4 on the scale this morning. Haven’t had to take any low or high days recently. Just been consistently hitting around 2,400 calories a day. I’m hitting the road for Oklahoma on Friday so I’m sure that’ll be a low day, as it’s about a 16 hour drive. Probably a lot of shakes and pickled eggs haha

Today has been a busy day! In preparation for a long Drive Friday and knowing that I wouldn’t be training that day, I decided to train twice today! Morning session was legs. Nice brutal session with my usual hamstring curl, Squat superset, Reverse Nordics supersetted with Zercher Reverse Lunges and ab and calf supersets, but I also added an insane twist to this one! I added 3 sets of 100 bodyweight squats on wedges! Serge Nubret would apparently work up to 10 sets of 300! I’m not there yet, but this is day 1 of my road to try to get there. Needless to say, my quad pump was the most insane I’ve had in a long time!
In the evening I hit Shoulders and Arms! The arm supersets I performed with zero rest. I would hit biceps then triceps then repeat the cycle immediately with no rest! Exactly a month out now, so there’s no room to mess around and half ass anything. Needless to say, today was a high day. 6 air fried chicken drumsticks(800+ grams of meat), a baked potato and green beans was my big meal in between sessions as well as my usual egg white and fruit smoothie. Post workout, I had a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie. I’ll have a protein shake before bed as well. 3,300 calorie, 330 gram of protein performance by me today. The highest of my entire prep! I think it was crucial to have that today so I can be reinvigorated for tomorrow’s chest and back session!

Last training session before I hit the road tomorrow! This was a fun one, my brother-in-law came in to train at the same time as me! Rest periods were extremely short again today, sometimes not even resting in between supersets! Used the 100s today on Dumbbell Bench press for 7x12. I would’ve gone for 8 but I definitely would’ve failed before rep 12 based on how set 7 went. Maybe in a week or two it’ll be there! Also hit some behind the neck Pulldowns for the first time in a few years and they felt great! Was really just feeling good and energetic across the board! I’m sure I’ll be feeling it tomorrow on the drive haha!

I have fallen behind on logging my sessions since arriving in Oklahoma, but I rectify that today!! I have been so extremely busy since I got here as I’ve been balancing work, spending time with family, going out and seeing attractions such as the zoo and arcade and shopping. Last night I wasn’t able to get to the gym until 3 in the morning to hit legs after a day of 15k steps at the zoo, but I’ve got a show coming up and I refuse to relent! Diet has been on-point since I brought my food scale with me and bought groceries on day 1. It’s also been fantastic Training with my brother this week! Without further ado, I present the sessions:

Big family picnic today! Saw a couple of my cousins and asked if they wanted to get a lift in tonight, they obliged and we had a great workout! Gym was empty so my brother and I were able to guide my cousins through what they described as “The best workout they’ve ever had”! Definitely felt good to hear that! It’s funny how much I’ve settled into a teacher type of role with lifting. It’s my full-time job and I even get to help my family and friends. Just feels very satisfying! At the same time, I’m still very much a student. Trying to constantly study and learn. Anyway, The Workout itself was just a super awesome Shoulder and arm day! The pump was just absurd and veins were coming out across my delts and chest and arms! Now hoping for a relaxing night!
