OK first real day at the new gym, i didnt work in with the guys due to time constraints and extreme soreness
531 bench
195x5
205x5
220x10 not a pr but I had extreme tightness and pain in my chest and shoulders so i consider this a win
db bench worked up to 70’s for 10
this place has an awesome t-bar worked up to 235x8 will get a video of this awesome contraption next time
tricep pulldown 3x10
hammer curl 3x10 @40lbs
ran a mile this morning and did 10 incline treadmill sprints pwo
Overall a good day back going to be soooo sore tomorrow
Dixie- It is awesome it has been about a year since I have actually been in a gym.
Gregron- I was going to train with them yesterday but his son got there late and I was training chest and for some reason I was cramping up but maybe I will get to today
Ran 1 mile slow… it’s the only speed I have right now, then 15 incline treadmill sprints 15 sec on 45 off.
I am going to continue running 531 for a while and adding in more conditioning week by week. Time to stop being so fat!
I like your conditioning work. I did some treadmill sprints today as well… I’m going to be trying to steal some tips from your log since we’re pretty much the same and I’m shooting for the same weights that you hit

You are way better shape than me sir, I took my bulk to seriously lol. My conditioning is a far cry from what it used to be, Have you heard of Alpha on here? I followed his warrior athlete workouts for 2 months straight, and then just lost motivation lol. I want a physique similar to yours no homo.
Ended with 25 dips and 25 pullups
Good day, meeting with the owner tomorrow to come up with a program for me very excited about that, running another slow mile tonight and that is about it school starts back in 2 weeks
Barbell curl I am so weak
barx15
65x12
85x10
95x8
95x4
Alt db curl
30’s 3x10
Ok so I have been training at this new gym for a little over a week now and still haven’t trained with the father son team, and the more that I watch them train the less I want to. It is so much f’ing volume and they are in there for at least 2 to 2.5 hours every day, I am all about getting stronger and learning but 20 sets of bench press is a little much. I asked the guy if he could spot me occasionally and give me form advice and he has been doing that but I think for now that will be the extent of my relationship with them. Am I wrong for thinking this way?
^^I think at your stage (no offense) that sticking with 531 for a while will help you get stronger. I dont see the need for 20 sets of anything lol
unless you’re a top pro or something and you’re on some super chinese specialization hybrid ultra max secret russian cosmonaut training program and you’re working on getting the last 5lbs till you max out your genetic potential, I dont think thats necessary lol.

Nice bench PR[/quote]
That’s what I was thinking just needed to hear it from someone else lol 531 is slow and steady progress and it’s easy.
Attempted to run hills immediately after, did 3 and decided it would be better to do them tomorrow lol
going to post a fatness pic later, I am losing a little weight.
Decided I am a bodybuilder today
db shoulder press
worked up to 55’sx10
Lateral raises
20’sx15
25’sx12
30’sx10
Face pulls
4x15
DB shrugs worked up to 100’s for 10
close grip bench worked up to 185x5
tricep pulldowns
4x12
and then for some reason messed around with speed bench 150 8x3
I am making a change in the way I train I am still sticking with the main lifts and percentages of 531 but my assistance work will be bodybuilder style.
