High Incline Paused DB Press:
warmups
75’s for 3 sets of 8ish

Low Incline Paused DB Press:
warmups
75’s for 3 sets of 8ish

Slight Decline Paused DB Press:
warmups
75’s for 3 sets of 10ish

Trying to keep everything slow on the negative with a pause at the bottom and top of the movement. The concentric is as explosive as I can manage though.

Ring Dips: (strict)
3 sets of 10

Feet Up Paused Close Grip Spoto Bench Press: (the more words that are in your exercise name, the better it works)
135 for 3 sets to failure (I’ll give you a hint; at this stage of the workout, failure was only like 8 reps rofl)

Rope Pushdowns: (pause and flare out at the bottom)
3 sets to failure

Seated DB Press:
35’s for 3 sets of 10ish

Lateral Raises:
15’s for 3 sets of 10ish

Neck Harness:
25lbs for a few sets up to around 50 reps

Lying Neck Work:
25lbs for a few sets up to around 50 reps

Calf Raises on the Leg Press:
10s under tension
10s rest
20s under tension
20s rest
30s under tension
30s rest
40s under tension
standing reps w/ BW to failure

The weight is all really light, but I add as many variables to the reps as I can so that they are as difficult as possible (slow eccentric, pauses at both ends, extended ROM, etc.). Hopefully that style will pay off.

My diet right now is 2766 calories. 253g protein, 206g carbs, and 100g fat. I don’t know if that’s enough for me to gain weight yet or not, but we’ll see over the next couple weeks or so.

Nice n deep. A little struggle to stay upright at the breaking point. (Typical) this will get better w. Practice n volume. Going beltless on your lower weights here helps strengthen that too. I try to treat each rep on beltless atg pause squats as a single w. Perfect form…no matter the reps im going for. J.m.o

594

Great numbers at your meet for your BW. Didn’t realize you were so light.

Busy stuffing my face. I’m a very, very sexy 250lbs currently. I’m still waiting for those magical fat-man strength gains, though.

ps: You really should try to gain some size on your legs - your quads and ass look pitiful.

Well I don’t care about my quads, but I would love some booty. That’s most of the reason I have such a hard time keeping it on the bench; there’s just nothing there lol. My body seems to like concentrating its mass in the torso.

If you’re 250 you better fucking tell me you at least pulled 600lbs finally. Also if you’re 70lbs heavier than me you better have bigger arms now too lol.

Thanks! I’d love to be over 200lbs again someday, but not fat like I was before. I feel like a child at this bodyweight…
