Sounds like you’ve got a solid game plan. I’m looking forward to seeing how you look in 8 months or so.

MiMsy, I just meant I’ll keep adding carbs when I stop gaining. So if I start at 80g and I stagnate, I’ll bump to like 130, etc. You’re a funny gal!
James, me too. My time frame is more like 8 weeks, not 8 months though. At least that’s the first “measuring stick”.
Great BACK session!
A little HS Pullover for warmup.
A. Deadstop DB Rows
4 x 8 x 115lb’s
B. WG Chins
5 x 5
C. “Old School” T-Bar rows
4 x 12 x 145lbs
D. Deficit Deads
10 x 135/225/315
5 x 405
20 x 225
E. Assisted WG Chins
4 x 8
My back feels torched right now. I don’t feel AS depleted as I did in the past (when no carb dieting).
Let’s hope the weight climbs.
great transformation!!
and training looks awesome.
nice work.
I am fully recovered from WS- 17 days on the road.
thanks for watching!
and you look awesome
Thanks Kev.
Felt like squatting today so did a quick session.
10 x 135/185
5 x 225/275
3 x 315/365
**Chucked on bands to make them reverse band squats
2 x 405
5 x 365
Finished with 10 x 225 w/o locking out.
I folded up like a cheap tent on the 2nd rep @ 405 but it feels DAMN good to get under 4 plates again.
I may need to wrap my knees next time and try 405 w/o the bands.
Form was good and deep today.
Damn yo! Good squattin’.
nice squat session Dot
I have been thinking about reverse band squats for a while now. What’s your take on them.
dday and nl, thanks. It felt REALLY good to skwat again.
Joe, I definitely see an advantage to getting under > 1RM weight and actually doing a full ROM squat. You’re doing walkouts now, I am sure RB squats would help just as much.
nice training ddot. back and leg work looking solid. What does your current cardio setup look like? I saw you have been doing some hiit. No more hour long cardio!!! Woo hoo.

I’m doing 35-45min LI steady state fasted cardio 3 x a week and then 2-3 15min HIIT sessions (post workout).
I?ve donated my face to @movemberCA & men?s health, if so inclined, pls give so it may grow:
My bench sucks.
Last night was chest and I decided to do some Bench press.
A. Bench Press
2 x 10 x 135
10 x 155/185** tough
4 x 205 to failure. Rep 5 would have killed me
5 x 5 x 185shorter rests
B. Low Incline DB
4 x 9 x 75
C. Decline DB “Twists”
4 x 12 x 55
D1. Seated Cable Flyes - 2 sets to failure
D2. Dips - 2 sets to failure
Standing Cable crunches. **These really bothered my elbows as I think they had enough from all the pressing.
Again, my bench sucks. My form feels WAY better than it did years ago but I always get stuck around that 225 mark.
Bench is fickle bastard for sure. Do you normally work in sets of 10?
“My bench sucks.” Looking at your avatar, I don’t see too much tricep, your arms seem mostly bicep, and your pecs look a bit flat. Do you think you just need some more meat in those areas?
Joe, I was using sets of 10 for “warm up” in the sense to get blood into the chest. If I was to aim for a strength session I’d obviously reduce reps to warm up. I’ll need to do some ME/DE stuff I think to get my bench numbers up.
Cav, I’ve definitely focused on tricep strength for a while now. My chest looks flat because in that pic, I am completely depleted. Everything looks flat.
I just need to focus on improving my bench so that my bench “doesn’t suck”.
Have plans tomorrow afternoon so had to get my leg session in today/tonight.
Given that I sort of trained Legs 2x already this week, it may not have been the best idea. My right TFL is extremely mad at me which meant NO squatting tonight.
A. Lying Leg Curls
4 x 8 x 135 **10lbs more than normal
B. Leg Press
10 x 5/6/7/8pps
4 x 8 x 9pps
C. 100 Rep Drop set
25 x 6/5/4/3pps
D. SM Reverse Lunge
3 x 8 x 135
**Starting to really like these for quads
E. Extensions w/ 2sec hold
8 x 120/130/140/150
Finished with some cable crunches.
Time to spend a little quality time with my foam roller.
