Went with higher rep scheme this week, kinda felt like I needed it. I was thinking about adding BB inclines (higher reps) to my shoulder day, but I had nothing at the end of this one and my shoulders feel like they have been beaten with a stick this morning (plus my freakin calves and glutes are still stiff as hell from the other night’s leg session). I’ll probably not do that.
It occurred to me that I rarely do pullups. I’m hovering around 240-245 right now (at least that’s what I weighed a few weeks ago) and I think if I can get some higher reps, that can only be good for my back growth. I feel like a big pu$$y because I can’t crank out muchos pullups @ bodyweight-- that sits poorly with me.
Probably try to add those a couple times a week (other than back day) between sets.

Well, y’know, drug dealers and murderers like to get an early start on the day…
Lookin’ uncommon thick and burly in the avi there, Steely.
Thanks, dude. Funny, I see that pic and I think “arms/traps waaaay too small”… It’s giving good motivation to see it daily. I’ll probably leave it up just a little longer…

Small? You need to adjust your monitor resolution. You are definitely stout! Hell, I wish I was the same proportions.

X2
I was talking to a young guy in the gym the other day. I said I’d never been asked if I took roids. Kid says,“we all jez figure you usin so weren’t no need to ask”. Not sure if that bothers me or not. Your growth has been a tribute to bulking, Steely. I think you’ve probably made more gains in size and strength than any of us. Good on ya.
Seriously impressive gains, steely.

x2.
Lay on, McPuff, you Turbo Lover, you!
You have made some amazing gains. Nice to see it can be done naturally without the special juice. Hard work + food = big gains.
Thanks y’all! Don’t forget how much pain it takes to make gains, too! I mean, I walk around every day feeling like a truck hit me! Still got a long, long, long way to go, both strength and size.

Very tired today. Hard to eat enough when at a customer site. Lunch had no fucking selections, so I got a bowl (very small dammit) of meat chili and 10 chicken wings. I take a tub of protein right in the customer building (and prot bars, nuts, etc.), so I got the protein, but still dragging ass.
At 12oz Sirloin, salad, and asparagus at Longhorn. Hit the spot.
Now, I need to get back to work (in hotel) to get my software into production!!!
Good work here brother!!
You talked about Bweight pullups just start low numbers and each week work that number up by 1. Like 4 sets of 3 qand 1 up each from there. I went from sets of 3 (surgery) to sets of 12 @ a bweight of 235.
hope this helps
Lift Strong
Sub-par arm workout Thursday AM. I’m not adapted to heavy lifting at 5am for sure.
Off Friday sitting in airports and airplanes all freakin’ day with no heavy weights and no food.
Observation: They need to start making wider jets.
Steely - sorry for hijack … some time ago you posted some recipes to help with diet, I managed to lose the link. Any chance you remember? (the search feature and I are having a disagreement today). Thanks and now returning to regularly scheduled programing (there might be a pun in there and then again…)
