quit being such a wee fanny 
i’ve gotta kick up dumbbells the same weight BUT they are the shitty spinlock adjustable ones so the spin bar pounds your quad when kicking them up
btw, bit lost (probs cause my reading comprehension is lacking due to overstudying) but I take you train at home and/or at a gym nearby also now?

It’s a lot easier on incline than straight military. Then again, I can’t do much BB pressing due to an old shoulder injury. DB’s FTW!

I don’t do military becuse shoulder mobility makes me end partialy In front of my head. So I do a 70 degree high incline. Not much different than a strict military press IMO

I agree. Ever since I started incline benching at a really low incline, my pecs get hit a lot harder instead of lifting it all with my front delts. I’ll have to try a high incline next shoulder workout.

Yes sir. I’m back home during summer. I have a home gym, with a Squat rack, adjustable bench, BD handles, etc. Then I also have gym I’m a member at about 15 minutes down the road. I use the home gym for more basic, ‘power’ days, and the other gym for the more fancy things like machines and such.
And about the DB’s everyone, it’s not kicking them up initially that’s the hassle, more so the rest-pause sets. Plus, I have a REALLY shitty right shoulder that’s prone to popping out of place, so I feel when I kick up weights for OHP I’m naturally hesitant. lol.
Actually took the day off yesterday. Caught up a bit on some sleep, spent time with some friends and family. Usually I’m one to wake-up early and go to the gym regardless, but I realized moving everything back a day would make my off days Monday, which I prefer, because Fri-Sun workouts are always my favorite.
Legs later today though!
Other thing, just to try and give ya’ll all the insight I can. It’s weird, because the beginning of the week I’ll add in the macros for the week, and look a bit bloofy. Then by the end of the week, I start getting leaner looking, fuller, etc. Just kind of cool.
Ohh, and I’ve cut down on my whey shakes, eating a lot more meat. Honestly I don’t mind cooking it, but I feel I haven’t been as… um… regular? with like bathroom stuff and all. I’ll give my body some time to adjust though, before cutting down on the meat or anything like that.

Well when I was at school I was getting none. lol.
This week back home though, now that I have access to my own kitchen and stuff I’ve gotten 2-3 servings every day at least.

I have not gotten that close to puking in a LONGGGGG time. Idk what it is about the high rep leg press followed by lunges, but it absolutely kills me. Regardless, made it through. lol

Oh shit, I feel like a dumbass…having you rest-pause DB press. That doesn’t make any sense. Go with machine on these, definitely.

Looks like a good leg workout,the machine work makes me major jelly since I’ve only ever had access to a barbell for leg work 
Jake: No problem, they have a HS shoulder press here I’ll try.
Rattlehead: This was actually my first ever workout since lifting without a Squat variation, so believe me, it’s new for me as well haha. Though machines are helpful in hitting the legs without fatiguing the lower back and all. Doesn’t matter anyways, as my legs have no trouble growing, despite me wanting to compete in Physique lol
Pictures are in my living room, just opened windows for lighting, but sadly the lighting isn’t as consistent as I’d hoped. I’ll try to figure out a way to fix that.
First pic, sorry that the lighting washes me out so much. Murky day, pale skin. But I’m feeling pretty lean, just FYI
One more. Don’t have the privacy of having the door shut here, so only these 2 poses from now on likely lol
That leg press is pretty nuts, how long you taking between set?
[quote]willden wrote:

LOL longer then everything else. I basically get up, take the long way to the water fountain, come back, load a plate, and go. Most things I probably rest 30-90s between sets, but with those probably 2 mins. Combo of catching my breath and the HUGE amount of lactic acid, because the reps are piston style, no lockout or anything

Thats how leg presses should be done to preserve knees in the long term IMO.
Nice week spidey. Higher carbs/fat has gotten you a bit of fullness back. I think pro and fat are at perfect levels for now.
This week:
250 Pro
380 Carb
85 Fat
I also want you to add the following cardio:
At the end of workout 1 (push pump): 2-3 30 sec sprints on the bike at a fairly high resistance. The goal is to max out RPMs for the entire 30 sec and even try to increase them from beginning to end. I cannot emphasize enough, these are ALL OUT, so if done correctly you will need 3-5 min rest in between.
At the end of workout 6 (pull pump): 5 10 sec sprints. Same as before. ALL OUT. If done correctly you’ll need about 2 min rest between.
