Shredded, Strong, Muscled - A Quest

Thanks for the black coffee tip. Drank it pre workout. Gave me good focus during my lift and i can’t even imagine eating 2 more times tonight.

First day of classes…Breaking the fast a little earlier now.

I decided I will not be doing FMC on leg day, instead I’ll do post workout LISS, easy incline walking on the treadmill.

Actually…I’ll be doing the FMC.

Training legs in an hour. Little update pic, but my arms are definitely getting more cut. Never had such good separation between delt, bicep and tricep.

those are some bigass forearms

did you get them mainly from deadlifts and other back work?
I always get comments on mine being huge, but luckily most people haven’t seen the people on sites like this

Just genetics man like some people have big calves. Never did direct forearm work. I just started reverse curls which hits them well, but that happened a couple months ago. They’ve always been big.

Only 15 minutes fmc on the elliptical.

Sick leg workout considering the last one sucked. I think foam rolling the night prior plus some extra stretching really helped me get deep and keep tight.

Nice squatting man. Do you squat low or high bar?

High bar brother, I feel it more in the quads and right now I’m focusing more on development rather than total weight lifted. I still push it heavy though. They felt very light today, I plan on jumping 10 pounds a week on 5 x 5 for squats right now until I can’t complete all 5 sets. I venture to say my max is probably around 475-495 for a single.

Only eating about 50 grams of carbs today…doing an hour or so of LISS later. No weights.

New video.

30 minutes of cardio…15 incline, 2.5 mph. A little over ~275 cals.

Your looking straight jacked man, nice work.

Anyone tired of bland food, salsa is very low cal and tastes amazing on chicken and rice. There are so many flavors.

Then

4 sets of barbell shrug, 3 sets DB

Here is today’s food.

Short chest and triceps workout. No cardio today, body is feeling a little beat up.

I’ve been taking a stance of, only going out for drinks once every 2 weeks. Reasons are my bodybuilding, money, and doing well in school.

Last night was a pure shitshow. I can’t drink without getting so hammered. A couple drinks and I’m gone. Felt like crap. Who needs that, so I may just be giving it up completely.

Making progress towards goals in the gym and life have been much more rewarding than a few nights out.

Busy today, afternoon class, a night class, so the schedule is all over the place.
