Shredded, Strong, Muscled - A Quest

Calves/Abs/Hammies 45 minutes of cardio and that is all for today.

Hands down, looked my best by far in the gym today.

Solid workout.

My bicep tendon has been hurting when I train back, especially pull up and pull down movements. Kinda sucks…Icy hot, ice and ibuprofen on the menu tonight.

I try to, lately I’ve been pretty OCD with the diet, and bodybuilding and school, but I need it, it’ll pay off in the end.

One of those nights tonight where I just consumed a little too much food. I was legit starving.

I could not imagine living in a culture where your next meal was undetermined.

Awesome workout. Weighed 206 last night, losing weight but I am strong still, that’s the heaviest front squats in a while…

Ab circuit and cardio later.

Was sick yesterday. Couldn’t get out of bed, threw up, hardly ate.

Feeling 80-90%better today so I hit the gym.

Workout wasn’t the best but I got it done. Hopefully I feel great in the upcoming days.

Good log. I got two question for ya:

  1. You say that you work up to a top set, but sometimes you do the top set with the same weight 2 sets in a row, is there any reason for that?

  2. I know you used the 5 3 1 scheme in the past, did you ever tried it with higher frequency?

Ex: A 3 way split with Deads, Squat and Bench press like Dead/pull day, Bench press/push day, Squat/ leg day, on a 3 on 1 off or a 2 on 1 off 1 on 1 off… ?
