Finished up with Underhand Cable push downs and some Ab stuff.
Notes:
I ruled out heavy triceps pressing for these first few weeks, wanna avoid stressing the shoulder capsule, and I think doing some isolation stuff will work for me. I can feel my shoulders getting back in the game, I’ll try to add a little bit of weight every session until I feel they healed up.
My stupid moment of today was when I pushed the DB with my knee to get it in position and ended up hitting my face with the Dumbbell in the process.
So if my timeline is correct, you were a skinny/athletic dude a little over a year ago, and now you’re rediculous, is that right? I saw your starting pics in your last log, you had abs and looked good, but you blew up freaking quick. You should be proud. If you’re ever in Cali we should go prowling for females. I live right by all the frats/sororities in a major university town, so it’s as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.

That sounds like a plan!
And no worries man, if you keep eating and training like you are right now you’ll end up bigger than me in a smaller amount of time.

Today’s session was sponsored by “My elbow hurts from extensions” and “I hate my shoulder”.
I need to find a long head exercise that doesn’t tax my elbow too much, before I rotate CGBP back in. Maybe I’ll get enough out of push downs as a finisher since the long head will be already exhausted from Dead Skulls.
On better news, my triceps sweep seems to be coming up more when my arm is pumped.
Most guys out there with freaky arms will often advocate mind blowing volume. Sure there’s a few things like “supplementation” to consider but the principle might be right. I may experiment with stupid volume for arms after this training cycle. After all, my arms are lagging behind and I won the right to experiment.
Moved deadlift day to be my second training day because it’s an area I wanna improve on and I can train traps without worrying myself about hitting them again when training shoulders.
Only got 4-5 hours of sleep, I spend most of the night reading A Game of Thrones and some other books I just got… and time flew by. 3 sugar-free red-bulls later I’m up and moving. I probably should stop taking that much caffeine…

I’m finally learning how to squeeze the fuck out of my biceps with bb curls.
Worked all day on and couldn’t get to the gym. Most of my meals today consisted of whey, milk, sausages, cheese and bread, everything seemed to have too much salt and there also were little to no water fountains at the place I went today, so I got maybe only 1l water for the whole day. As result, my kidney condition is kicking in and my face is bloated as hell. Forgot my medicine at home and just decided to come back to my place, to hit the shower and the bed after I down a few gallons of water to be safe.
Melatonin causes bloat if I use it too much so I guess I won’t be taking any. I guess this will be another night of reading until I fall asleep.
Tomorrow hitting the gym for a leg blast. I wanna try the 100 reps leg extension I read on Tankman’s thread. Also figured out I might as well destroy and crush the bodyparts I’m only training once a week, so bring on high rep squats, high rep leg presses and 100 rep leg extensions, my 30 inch tree trunks with no definition I call legs can handle the pain. They need it. I’m only leaving the gym tomorrow when I can’t walk.
What are your stats now? Sorry if I missed it. 230 or so? I’d love to see some recent physique pics. you have some monster numbers, especially given your age.
@mmatt: Thanks man, i appreciate the compliments, and I’d love to get some metal suggestions
@bug: Around 225-230 currently, I haven’t stepped on the a scale for some time. I have an issue posting pics very often but I do plan on posting some eventually.
