Just use straps for everything with grip basically. When I ripped a callous last week I just used straps to do my weighted pull ups and it wasn’t that bad.

Thing is, its not just ripped but infected so I can put 0 weight on it. Even with straps the bar still rests on it.

Derp
I f**king love DB rows, Ive never felt anything work my back so well. Not even pull ups give the same kind of stimulation.
A quick note on BB good mornings, I did them with a slight bend in my knees. Is this cool? Or am I not doing them right? Should they be stiff leg? I will find out today.
The one thing thats taking a massive beating on this program is my elbow joints. More fish oil and rest is needed.
Fat loss is a a bitch isnt it?
Its only when you start losing blubber you realise A) How little muscle you really have abd B) Just how much fat you really are carrying.
After my bulk I was reasonably happy with my size but 5 weeks into my cut and im starting to realise that almost all of the “size” came from fat.
My top 2 abs have come in but I still cant see the bottom 4 AND i have a serious case of male muffen top going on.
To be honest though I could give two shits about ABZ, what I really want is the V you get from a big back tapering to a lean waist. If I can get that I will be happy

Card…
Ba hahahaha, f**k you.
So, week 6 of CT’s program. The plan is too finish this week, have a rest week and then redo the program either once or twice more(god f**king help me). I would like to only do it once more as its very, very, very draining BUT I dont think ill be at the BF I want by the end of a second cycle.
Im going to fast(my basterdised version) from now on as I tend to overeat when I have breakfast.
How will I do it?
Wake: 6;00
Train 7;00
Whey Shake W creatine 9;30
Start eating 2;00
Its nothing fancy but should help me stop overeating in the evenings(thank you Jake).
On a side note, I felt weak as Ive ever been this morning. Most probably since I had to move my carb up day too Sunday and so I felt the effect pretty bad this morning. Slow, no energy, lathargic etc.
Add to that 4 hours sleep on Sat and on my feet all day Sunday and today was just hard.

This will be potentially highly catabolic. If I train “fasted” it’s with a scoop of MAG-10 pre, and another post. At bare minimum get some BCAAs before training.

Do you think I’d get away with just having a whey shake before hand and then the second one after? Or maybe just eat something light?

I really don’t get the point of the whey shake if you are looking train fasted. The whey will break you bodies fasted state so all the benefits will be lost of the fast. Only way for you to get around this is either to take some bcaas pre and post workout until you break your fast or to shift your training until later in the day. Otherwise you are kind of just pissing into the wind a little bit.
Well then sod it, I’ll just eat a small breakfast from now on.
Fasting wasnt the point, it was trying to “save” most of my Kcals till the evening etc.

Why don’t you just feed from 8am - 4pm. Ie; break your fast at 8am with something small, maybe 400 kcals worth of food and a whey shake and then train at 9:30 or whatever then have a big lunch, another meal at 3:30 or so and stop eating at 4pm.

Still asking are we?
New bars in the gym today. 2 Oly bars and the rest of the power bars have been replaced.
Power bars = 25KG
Oly bars(womens) = 15KG
I use power bars for all lifts save the P/C’s so in theory you could add 25KG to my lifts but f**k that, I just like counting plates 
Meet a friend of my moms last night who hasnt seen me since a year ago when I was pretty much anorexcic and it was a great ego boost. I know compared too 90% of the guys here I look like crap but ill take any ego stimulation I can lol.
She also said and I loved this “The way you stand is very intimidating”. F**king hooooorrrrayyyyy for proper posture! Shoulders back, chest out and back straight.

2 mins boxing, Yup some serious cardio right there son.
*On the last set of Front S I caught the eye of a REALLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY f**king hot girl training in the gym today. I had been doing so well ignorning her and keeping focus but aw, I caught her eye on the thrid rep and well the 4th rep never happened.
Really hot girls in the gym are a double egded blade. Its awesome cause they look great and are just fun to look at BUT they will also destroy your concentration.
On a side note, today was probably the hardest training session Ive had since starting this program. No idea why but I just felt so weak today on everything, I pushed through the squat complexe and made it count but by the time I came to OHP I simply had nothing left in my tank.
Long story short? I was beefed.

Today was heavy.
Everything hurt, and I mean everything.
I loaded the bar for DL’s at 145 as I smoked 140 on Tues, stepped up. Tried to pull and NOTHING. 140? Nope. 130 ffs? Nope
120 was when the bar started moving. Tbh I have no cluse what happened today but I was as weak as Ive ever been and it really put me down.
After the failed 140 I was very tempted to just pack my shit up and go home but I though of what a friend told me once about lifting and having an ego. So I got my shit together and swalloed using a ligher weight.
The ONLY good thing that came from failling like this was I can finally tell which parts of my body give out and I think thats fucking awesome. Before if I couldnt get the bar off the ground id just assume it was too heavy and thats it.
Today I was able to tell exactly what failed on me and that was my quads and my upper back. My lower back could take it but my upper back couldnt hack it BUT more importantly my quads/glutes couldnt generate the force needed to get the bar off the floor.
Gah, I hate being weak.
Anyway, its time for a rest weak and then another cycle of this shit as i still look like jabba the hut without a T-Shirt.
So basically I want to post a few pictures to show what a fat mess Ive become and give me some motivation to start making some real progress.
Be warned, these are bad
