LOL would be nice to have a consistent training partner haha. Even better considering our dimensions are similar.
Today’s workout was good. Chest was still quite sore, but it made it easier to feel it during movements, so that’s ok. Did 2 sets of 15 with 115 on Wide-Grip Incline (grip was basically right inside of where collars were, as far out as hooks would allow), piston style reps. Did 45 lbs DB’s for my Seated Shoulder pressing, 1 set of 9, then another one for 8, 10 secs rest, got them for 6, 10 secs rest, and got them for 4. triceps were stupid pumped afterwards, as well.
Weighed in at 192.2 today. lol. Not sure how I’m gaining weight, may be added sodium or something (been salting my food like Jake recommended). Waist and abs look leaner though, and I’m extremely vascular as of late (relative to how I usually am). Veins in my delts, biceps, and forearms have gotten multiple comments last few days as it’s been warm and I’v worn tank tops.
Diet is still going good. Same as usual, though I replaced the grits with more waffles today lolololololololol (obviously tweaked the fats a bit to make things fit). Been semi-stressed, because last two weeks of school are hectic, being an RA and such, and final papers being due. Sleep won’t be as ideal as I would like, so I’ll probably be drinking a good deal of coffee. Yay college.
And ohh yeah, Jake I know you were considering just alternating the pump and power push days as opposed to including this 2nd one. This one was alright, but no where near as good Sunday’s though, pump and contraction wise, most notably on chest. Tricep work was just as good as Sunday, though.
just trying to give all the feedback I can.
Legs sucked today. Was very hard lol. After Leg Curls (with drop sets and partials) and DB RDL’s, Front Squats were tougher then I suspected, even with baby weights. Did a set of 165, 185, then 205 for 12, 8, and 4 (just overestimated my strength and endurance).
After that came sets of 50, 40, 30, and 20 reps on Leg Press, which raped me. Then lunges to finish me off.
Had to leave after that, will hit calves tomorrow. Really wore me out.
Diet was still on point today, even though I wanted to gorge haha. Lost some weight as well, was 189.2 lol

Are you doing the 3 sec negatives?
I’d actually prefer you not weighing yourself everyday. JUST the morning of the update.

Yeah that’s also what made them so hard. Slow negative, sore back from a few days ago, fatigued hammies AND staying upright for higher reps was tough lol

Really?
Makes sense because I have been trying to get in touch with RDS.
Did my ‘power’ push day today. Did 70’s, 85’s, and 90’s for strong sets of 8,6, and 4 on Flat DB. Then took my talents to Incline BB, where I got 155x6 (lolololol), then got it for an even easier 6 my next set (endurance is getting decent I suppose?). After BO Laterals with a tad bit of momentum, finished off with 115 for a set of 6, then a set of 5 on Push Press. OHP is quite awkward for me, but it was all delt because of the laterals before hand. Finished ramping to a set of 8 for Dips, with 35 extra lbs added.
I’m miserably weak with pressing, but am REALLY confident that hitting this stuff 3x a week will be beneficial to correcting that.
Ran out of Gatorade powder, so have all my 250g of carbs today to eat on a date tonight. lol.
Was kind of sleepy today, so don’t feel 100%, but that’s school/work related, not lifting. Also, legs are sore. lol. Clenching quads during pressing today resulted in them cramping after the set was over. lol

That sounds rough, I am working my way back up but I plan on staying in the 10 rep range for a while… I might try them after my RDL next time LOL

So I’ve thought about it and I’d really like you to take at least one day off per week.

Definitely was going to take one. lol. Enough volume and frequency on this plan to warrant it lol

Like… I think $7-8 for the bigger tubs at Wal-Mart? Idk. I’ve never tried Dextrose or Malto or anything, but I know gatorade sits fine on my stomach. It lasts me a few weeks.
Training today was solid. Superset of Stretchers and Straigh-Arm Pulldowns was awesome, followed by a SS of Wide Grip Pulldowns and Flared Elbow Chest Supported Rows. DB Shrugs lit my traps up. And Cable Curls with a big dropset, along with slow negative DB curls really finished my biceps off.
Nutrition still on point. Will weigh myself and take pictures tomorrow morning.

I just wanted to compare that to my dextrose I buy…I got a bag for 4 bucks and it lasts me 12 workouts
