Why exactly didn’t you like TAS2? I thought it was okay, but I’m not a big Spiderman fan.

I was obviously a bit extra butthurt because Spider-Man is by far my favorite superhero, but this about sums up everything.
Dialogue was comically bad, actors literally just saying what was going to happen or how they felt
It seemed like one giant preview for the next 4 movies they want to make. Rhino had no place in there, and all his dialogue was just horrible. And that accent.
Electro was just a 1.5 hour of autism and build up to be nothing more than a henchmen really
Certain things in the movie that are vital to the Spider-Man lore were just thrown in it seemed like in the last 10-15 minutes, and was almost laughable how anti-climatic it was. The montage of Peter making that stupid ass collage in his room took longer.
Overall the movie for me was like a 4/10 but that hurts considering how high of expectations I had. But honestly the only things I like were Peter and Gwen (the portrayals of them, not their sub-plot), the costume, one fight scene, and the web-slinging.
Coan Upper
Flat BB: These weren’t as smooth as I wanted, I feel like left and right arms are uneven. Maybe an imbalance in my upper back, causing me to retract one side better and have uneven bar path
200x2x5
Paused CGBP: Easy
170x2x5
DB Incline:
65’sx2x10
Chest Flies:
2x12-15
One Arm Leaning Laterals:
20’sx2x20
30’sx10
15’sx20
Reverse Pulldowns: Wide Grip, pause at the bottom
3x12
Straight Arm Pulldowns:
2x20
OH Cable Extensions: just more like stretching then lifting
2x15
DB Curls: First 3 sets were with ‘broken wrist’ technique
20’sx2x15
15’sx15
35’sx10
Coan Lower
Back Squat: Went pretty fast
300x2x5
Conventional DL: Wow this was really fast
365x5
Abs + Leg Curls
Really quick workout today, was so slammed today that I had to work at 7am. Did the wake and shake (wake-up, mob work, coffee + pro shake), and was in the gym. Didn’t really wake up until my 2nd set of Squats. Plus, calves are soooo sore, which always makes Squats harder. So with that being said, I was surprised with my performance.
Coan Upper
Flat BB: Last rep of last set was a bit misgrooved, but otherwise very easy, quick reps
210x2x5
Paused CGBP: These all feel so light
180x2x5
DB Incline: I’m using a completely different progression for these at this point
70s’x2x8
Cable Flies:
2x20
Rear Delt Cable Flies:
4x15
Cable Laterals:
3x12
1x25
Kneeling Rope Pulldowns ~SS~ V-Grip Rows: Focused on scapular retraction and constant tension
4x15 each lift
Seated Hammer Curls:
30’sx10
25’sx2x15
Easy day, surprisingly. Idk 210x5 is a PR I think, let alone for 2 sets. Regardless, weights are creeping up, and somehow bastardizing this program seems to be working lol
Coan Lower
Back Squat: Man, form felt like 225.
315x2x5
Conventional DL: Fast
380x5
Single Leg Press: Drying to really emulate leg drive in the bottom of a DL
3pps+50x2x10
2pps+50x2x15
Leg Curls: Partials on the last set
3x10-12+15
Abs + Calves
Man, 315 genuinely feels like warm-up weight now, no real form breakdown with it. Not a crazy accomplishment, but progress nonetheless.
Where are you at scale wise?
Still in that weird 205-210 range most the time. Eating right at about 4000kcal most days, but I guess just walking a lot + not taking off days makes it hard to really get the scale moving.
Coan Upper
Flat BB: Gosh took everything I had to not just use 2pps but didn’t want to blow my load to early
220x2x3
Paused CGBP: LOL fuck I realized I was supposed to just do 2x3 but this was just so easy lol
185x2x5
Incline DB:
75’sx2x6
Chest Flies:
2x20
Did random shit for awhile, Lats Superset, Arms Superset, and Lateral/Rear Delt Superset
I felt like shit today, for like 3 hours. A bunch of my friends who all ate with me the other night have had the same thing, like 3-5 hours of sickness, stomach issues, some even vomited. So lifted and didn’t feel great, but whatever. Also, gym was sooooo humid, I was sweating through my shirt before the first working set. Made staying tight difficult, kept sliding when using leg drive.
Coan Lower
Back Squat: Easy, but sweat making the bar slide down my back fml
330x2x3
Conventional DL:
395x3
Pendlay Rows: Just 30s rest, held for a 2-3 count at the top, just because
135x3x10
Seated Leg Curls:
4x10
Lunges:
35’sx2x10
Face Pulls, Calves, Abs
Good workout. Was running on 4 hours of sleep, some coffee + protein. Had just got done with a Karate final (LOL) and writing a 20pg paper in 24 hours, so was a little warn down, but everything felt great. Will likely take tomorrow off, though. Can feel the soreness already, and just judging by how 220 felt yesterday Benching 230x2x3 tomorrow seems a bit audacious.
Enjoy reading your log Spidey. I hear you on the 205-210 lb thing, I’ve been stuck here for months and its like I have to eat an entire cow to get the scale moving lol. Keep up the good work man

Thanks for following dude. Yeah, I’m thinking once I get back home, I’ll be a bit more lazy and not need the high intake to grow. Goal is still to hit roughly a 225 BW, increase lifts for a bit, then a bit.
Track food and actually weigh things to make sure you aren’t being surprised by how much you eat and do it consistently. Seen what happens to a chronic underwater who thought he ate a lot but found he didn’t when he tracked and was forced to actually eat a lot each day. It’s amazing what eating a lot everyday with no low days can do. All of a sudden you don’t need such a massive amount

Oh I still count my calories. I eat pretty much the same thing every day, I just don’t measure it out anymore as I’ve grown so accustomed to it I can ball-park pretty well. I’m not doing what most do when they say they eat ‘almost 4000 kcal a day’. I’m genuinely hitting 220g of Pro and 550g Carbs daily, while trying to keep Fats at about 100g but sometimes going over.
I’m just not sleeping a lot right now, doing a lot a of activity, and lifting daily, so I think it’ll taper off. My body seems to hit set-points. I never gain or lose 1-2 lbs a week. It’s like my body will hold on then BOOM, just drop/add 3-5 lbs lol.
Also, I’m excited to see how your training goes, seeing as you and I have similar styles of eating along with training styles right now (I’m alternating Benching and Squatting/DL EOD, so will be hitting each lift 3-5x a week as well)

careful eye balling things. I lost my ability to truly eye ball things after stopping truly weighing stuff. But activity certainly helps eat up cals.
Yeah program shall be interesting. Not expecting much size. Just for once dipping on that and looking for strength. I want more volume but Thomas won’t let me

Had to learn this the hard way as well. What I thought seemed like a lot or little bit of food was no where near what I needed. Weighing everything and tracking it online has helped tremendously.
