Damn fine work. I envy your diet, well let me rephrase that, I envy your ability to be so consistant with your diet. The diet itself actually sounds like it would be tough but the results and dedication speak for themselves.

Dude, what happened? You’re supposed to BEAT the JETS.
Very disappointed in you.[/quote]
I know we got Folked.
Rob wouldnt put me in to play ILB.
DJHT, I’m STILL disappointed in you guys. At least my boy was AFC player of the week with his 517yds. I can’t wait to piss in Rex’s cornflakes.
Monday was an off day but I through some extra cardio work in. I’m still tightening up fairly well.
Last night we trained some chest.
A. Flat DB Press - 4 x 6
B. Incline HS - 4 x 10 + last set/drop set
C. Cable Flyes - 3 x 15 + LS/DS
D. Machine Press - 2 x Run down the rack
Finished up with 8 x 8 Standing DB Laterals and some standing cable crunches.
Decent session.
Wednesday
A. WG Pullups - 8x8
B. Old School T Bar Row - 8x8
C. HS UG Pulldown - 8x8
D. SM Shrugs - 4 x AMAP w/ squueze/stretch
Back feels pretty good (sore) today so I know that worked.
I’ve been trying this new approach with back where by on the first few sets I really stretch the lats in between each rep until it gets too difficult and then I knock out the remaining reps.
Really good progress. The diet and training are really paying off for you!

The last couple of sessions:
Thursday - Shoulders
A. Prone Heavy DB Swings - 5 x 20
B. Reverse Machine Flyes - 5 x 20
C. Seated SM Press - 4 x 12
D. Seated HS Press - 3 x 8
E. Standing DB Laterals - 6 x 8
Friday - Off
Went to the Blue Jays-Yankees game with an out-of-country employee who had never seen a baseball game before. Ended up sitting between him and 5 Brit’s having to explain a whole bunch of baseball all night.
Saturday - Arms
Everything done pyramid style (4 sets, 15/12/10/8)
A. V Bar Pushdowns
B. EZ Bar Curls
C. MiMini Banded CGBP
D. Incline DB Curls
E. Machine Dips
F. Prone Incline BB Curl
Finished with a Giant set of Overhead French Press/Rope Hammer Curls/Rope Pressdowns/Cambered Bar Cable Curls. Every movement to failure (which needs to be 15+ reps per movement).
Sunday - Legs
A1. Lying Ham Curls - 4 working sets of 10 reps
A2. Seated Calf Raise - 3 sec stretch/contraction - lots x lots
B. Leg Press - 4 warm up sets - 4 working sets of 8 reps @ 9pps+25
C. Squats - 2 warm up sets - 1 massive drop set - 13x225/15x135/23x135 **I tried not to lockout and keep tension on quads
D. Hack Squats - 3 x 20 x 2pps
E. Extensions - 3 run down the stack sets (20-25reps/set)
Legs are definitely growing and getting stronger.
Diet is tweaked so that I am getting plenty of carbs on Saturday which has made an immense difference in strength on Sunday.
Bodyweight is 174 right now. Should be about 170-171 by Thursday AM. Cardio is now 60min LI every morning. I have to keep BPM between 100-110. I had been upwards of that in previous weeks so for now I am using the stationary cycle and incline treadmill. Can’t do much more than 25 minutes on the bike or the “boys” start to lose feeling.
I think that’s all for now. Don’t feel like Debbie Downer today so I may catch up on some logs (time permitting).
PS: Matty, I still HATE the Jets.
Thats some serious repping you did there. Lactic acid was not your friend I bet.

It wasn’t too bad for the leg press this time but I actually look forward to the LA on leg day. All that LA and blood in the legs makes me feel “bigger”. Hahaha.
Nice work cranking out some good workouts there. The lat stretches sound interesting.
Nice work in here.
60 mins of cardio per day and the carb up days tell me you are almost finished dieting. Those carb ups do wonders for the mind and the body at that point, huh?
lol on the lactic acid leg day, I can relate
