Spidey: Back in Black

Lower Body

Squats: Meh, these felt off again
275-290x4x5

Front Squats: Gawd these tear up my abs
185x4x3 (paused)
135+Orangex10

B. Split Squats:
155x2x8

Band Leg Curls: Thnx RattleHead
Greenx3x25

Day was alright, but Squats felt off again. Looking at my log book, it seems Squats got kind of wonky after I started doing mobility work pre-WO, as opposed to my dynamic warm-up kind of stuff. While I’m not a supple leopard, I’m pretty flexible, so I feel like the mobility work pre-WO has almost taken out the ‘tightness’ I usually have in the bottom of mu Squat. I’m going to go back to dynamic warm-ups pre-Wo, and mobility work post-WO, off days, or maybe just do the hip stuff before upper body.

My gf basically never had baked anything before we dated. I basically told her she’d have to for this to work. Now she makes cheesecake brownies like every time I got to visit. Gawdddddd can’t wait until it’s bulking season again.

Also, adjusted my macros again, lost like 1/2 lbs this week, so really need to kick it up a notch if I plan on not making this a slow, legitimate cut. I’d probably just do RFL if I wasn’t a pussy, but I don’t really want to fuck with managing the rebound. Anyways, macros are:

Training Days: 300/205/75

Off Days: 200/205/80

Hopefully that’ll help get stuff moving. Up cardio from 2x a week to 4x probably, but only like 15-20 mins a session. This is also probably the first time I’ve dieted on ‘lower’ protein, only barely getting to 1g/lb of BW. I see a lot of reserach indicating .8g/lb of BW is sufficient, but I don’t trust that, especially not in a deficit. Regardless, I’m trying make this a bit simpler on myself, setting pro and fat at minimums and just filled in the rest with carbs. Also, thinking of moving lifting sessions back to the evening, and maybe adding a bit of pre-WO/intra WO carbs. I’m not really sure what, but as calories get lower they may come in handy.

Tomorrow I’ll probably have a ‘cheat’, pizza most likely. Today’s ‘on’ day of eating was:

Wake Up: Coffee + 1/2 tbsp VCO

Meal 1: 4oz Pork + cup of cottage cheese, veggies

PWO: Pro Shake

Meal 2: BBQ Chicken Sandwich (Walden’s No Calorie Sauce is Great), Baked Beans, Green beans

Meal 3: 8oz Pork, 1.5 cups of Jasmine Rice, Glass of Sweet Tea

Meal 4: Pro Shake, Yogurt + Fruit (haven’t actually gotten up and eaten this yet, so not sure on specifics)

got lucky, found a girl who is my best friend we mesh extremely well, shes pretty, a smart and good girl, and is a freak in the sack and only wants it from me. Fell in love with her pretty quickly after we met. Marriage is more than likely in the future, and for once with a girl it doesnt scare me so thats my sign that ive found the one

Not tryna brag, but bragging

Yep, got out of a super tough break-up, basically gave up. Ended up stumbling upon my girl. She’s super smart, full-ride through undergrad, got into a top 5 Pharmacy school, beautiful, cool enough to dress up with me at a Comic-Con one day and go lift with me the next. Plus, zero trust/loyalty issues.

Stop looking, walk around like you give no fucks, and a non-thot will find you after a little time lol

I think a big thing is stop looking for the hottest girl you can, like dont expect to have a serious relationship with paige hathaway or something. Its ok to date a pretty/beautiful girl by normal standards as long as shes beautiful to you because of how well you guys mesh or work together

Brothers… you have it backward. You can’t let them change you. Let me help you out: My beautiful wife of 18 years now makes me chicken and rice and eggs. Did it start out that way? No, but it is your job to train them.

Lol that last part is exactly what happened. Found the perfect girl. No idea how she puts up wiht me

I’m so happy with what my log has become lololololol

Yesterday’s training:

Flat BB:
205x3x5

Incline BB:
135x12+5+4 = 21

BB Rows: From a small deficit
185x4x8

Some other stuff

was a good workout, nothing crazy. I did workout later in the evening, felt like I had a bit more energy, so may start doing that. Had a cheat meal yesterday, some pizza a few donuts. Tried not like be retarded, but will admit ‘some pizza’ was ‘a pizza’, double chicken, pineapple, with BBQ sauce instead of marinara to be exact. lol Whatever, I needed a cheat. Woke up looking better, so can’t complain.

Actually that sounds really good. I’ll have to work something like that in sometime soon. I’m sitting around 1700 net calories (so higher on lifting days) right now, so it’ll take some finagling to make it work. But only 7 more days of this, so there’s that.

Jealous of the eats!

Yeah food was great. I ended up losing a pound the day after. There’s probably some genuine explanation, but I’m just going to assume that means I need to eat entire pizza more frequently, and THAT’s the key to being shredded. lol. But seriously, I think I’ll probably just do that every 2 weeks, more so just for a mental break.

Upper Body

Flat BB: Idk why, whenever I unracked this it felt awkward, no idea why. Kept misgrooving, but still wasn’t bad.
215x5x3

OHP: Was really just working with technique here
100x3x6-8

Hernon Rows:
55’sx4x10-15

Kneeling Pulldowns:
3x10

EZ Extensions:
40x4x10

BB Curls:
55x50+20+15+15

Good workout. I think I’m going to make an arbitrary rule that I won’t do more than like 6 lifts per session. Keeps me a bit more focused. On OHP days I’ll do 2 back lifts, on Incline BB days I’ll just do one back lift and a delt raise variation.

Lifted early, I might be temporarily working on a farm for a bit as a side job. Pays well. Don’t know specifics yet, going there today, but may have to taper down training a bit and build back up, depending on the hours and work load. But hey, probably will allow me to eat more while still getting/staying lean, and I love being outside. So win-win.
