Indeed. I tell this to people who ask me for advice in the gym and they look at me like I’m an idiot. “You don’t need to bench 500 to get a big chest, all you need is isolation work, all you need is X supplement, and etc.”
I find it funny most people don’t listen to those who are getting results, but choose to believe in stuff they read on magazines.
Yesterday’s training:
My knee is still being a bitch.

Yeah, people like to tell people who are making more progress than them about some rules about training that must be engraved in stone somewhere. Some unanimous way of training. It disgusts me 
Your bulk is so win babe.
I hope that back thing isn’t serious. I’ll rub it for you, m’kay? ;D
I’ll be looking foward to that! 
Speaking of rubbing, I made the mistake of rubbing a handfull of BlueHeat on my neck and traps. I don’t know what’s worse, the pain from the injury or the pain from the heat.
Back is hurting, can’t move my neck, knee is weird and insonmia isn’t letting me sleep. The only thing left for me to do today is hit chest as active recovery, or do triceps work, foam roll and take muscle relaxants. Today I planned to train back but that’s not longer an option I think.
Sucks to be me.
Yesterday I took the day off, too much injuries to risk another one.

Fun way to train when you’re injuried. I didn’t fell pain anywere so I kept going. Disclaimer: don’t train around injuries.
A last minute update, because I was sitting here and out of nowhere completely changed my mind.
Adding all this weight was fun, but I’ve realized I’m not felling as good as I used to, not looking as good as I used to and above all, I’m just felling plain unhealthy. Mentally, I’m feeling more and more depressed, looking at my love handles, cellulite ( yeah I have that shit ), and loose skin doesn’t help either. Although I’ve tried to eat clean I’ve probably blew my diet this last weeks.
So the plan is to start cutting weigth early, aiming to keep under 220 and above 200 pounds, below 10% bodyfat, leaner and to regain my now lost vascularity.
No major changes will be made to my training, except for adding cardio 4 to 6 times per week, adding shorter rest periods, high(er) volume, and keeping my carbs under control.
That should do the trick.
You do seem less chipper than usual 
I’m happy when you’re happy babe, and now, we can cut together! <3

December 05, 2010: Cardio
Woke up and ran 1.5 miles before first light and before breakfast.
Did soft tissue work and drak about 400000 gallons of water.
Running always gives me time to clear my mind and think. I got to throw myself a bone, I went from a skinny 160 pounds to 238-240 lbs for my first bulk, mostly lean, and without access to good supplements and decent enough food , if I’m gonna be depressed because of love handles and cellulite ( or whatever the hell it’s spelled ) then I should quit and go be a couch potatoe.
Speaking of cellulite I never had that stuff before ( and I actually don’t iknow if I actually have it lol ), but it wouldn’t kill me to go get a blood work and go see if everything is in check. Checking to see if my test levels are low and my estrogen high would also be a nice idea.
Fuck I’m just gonna go buy Test and Gh.
Joking on that last part.

Wow, you curl and dip and press and crunch and run… a whole bunch.
Great work baby :*
I don’t know any other effective way for me to train other than the grueling and painfull stuff I do 
slowly I’m letting go of this log… sigh. I write more in my notebook than I do here. The fact that I’m a bit afraid to post the crazy shit I do and get flammed doesn’t help much.
December 10, 2012:
AM: Cardio
Woke up, tired and grumpy, took thermogenics and ran 1.5 miles. 30 minutes.
Fat is burning out good but my upper body is looking flat
PM: Back.
Scored a rep PR on the deadlifts, 465x12. Finished off doing stuff for wrist mobility and something for the forearms and grip rehab.
Please don’t leave me 
Who’s flaming…is it via PM? And don’t get bummed man, its a quiet/rough time of year for people diet/training wise and will be until the end of the holiday’s. You need to keep posting; a paper training journal tracks your progress (therefore is invaluable) but an online journal like this will hold you accountable and provide some additional inspiration and non-bias advice.
