Thanks 2. I am really trying not to screw up this time. I don’t think I am moving enough weight for it to hurt anything. I am hoping if I keep stuffing food in my face my thunder thighs may come back home…lol

I guess I’m not quite sure which version of 531 you’re running? What’s the 5x5? And I’m not familiar with the widowmaker set at the end of some days. Regardless, it looks like you’re making progress. Keep up the good work!
Thanks K! It is 5/3/1 for Hard Gainers. He put it out about a month ago. 5x5’s on the end of bench & deads, the 20rep widowmaker at the end of squats, then 10x5 on the press. I didn’t do a deload, don’t think I am strong enough to worry about it.

Hi Inc DB Press 5x10/big 20’s
Decl weighted crunch 2x25/10
And yes I have 2 sets of 20’s big ones and lil ones. The shaft is longer on one set and the balance is completely diffferent. Don’t like the big ones.
If I put them under my pillow, will the dumbbell fairy bring me some lil 25’s?

That’s right. Avoid the cardio. You’ll burn up all that food!
Nice work!

The rest will have to wait until tomorrow. Almost trashed my arms again with big 20’s. Both arms were not happy yesterday morning so I figured I would wait and lift today. Well… after digging around in flower beds, full of scorpions and 1 snake sighting, to repair a sprinkler system, I was stressed. Think I sniffed too much Rosemary, good Lord, they were the size of my pick up, crawling over and under them. Follow that with a little additional work, then ended up cleaning a chicken house, some more house work then tilled an entire garden. Just didn’t sleep well after all that.
Put it off as long as I could today, but did manage to get the main lift in.
My hands are swollen and the left one is now aching for no appearent reason.
So widowmakers are cardio…
That explains their name!
Well that’s what Little Strick said…lol makes sense to me. If I can get myself straightened out by tomorrow, might test the waters and make a couple of changes. Even as shitty as I feel today, the weight was not an issue.

I need to hire you and Strick…you folks don’t stop…we don’t have scorpions where I live but we do have Ahole neighbors…kinda the same
Scorpions I can deal with, but I REALLY hate snakes! Kept thinking I was going to find him/his brothers in the dead leaves under the bushes. Might have to enlist GV for the AHole neighbors. Appearently he knows how to deal with those …lol
How early can you plant stuff down there?
We didn’t have much of a winter this year, so I planted these the first or second week of March. Can’t remember for sure. The weather has been pretty crazy here this year, it was 102 degrees a couple weeks ago, and in the 60’s last week…lol
I had been griping for a couple of months about not being able to plant. I moved here from Oklahoma. So, I was used to having things in the ground well before Mother’s Day.
Looks like a good harvest! I am jealous! My bean plants are about 3" tall right now.

On a more serious note. Do any of you take magnesium/ ZMA?
I take ZMA. I noticed I seem a bit stronger. I don’t take it the night before days I don’t work out.
