I’ll let the sox hat slide then (bet you’d be scared if I didn’t though, aye?!).
I like the idea of squatting what you pull. That’s always my goal too.
Have fun at the Arnold’s! I was hoping I could swing a trip but turns out my profs actually would like me in class. boo hiss.
I think you have a bunch of yankee stuff in your closet and only wear it at home, when no one is looking.
Yonks, Thanks man. It felt awesome to pull that. I am really looking forward to that renewed energy and focus the Arnold is going to bring when I see some of the IFBB pro’s there. I was 201.2 this morning and looked bigger and fuller than I did at 205. Now THAT is awesome.
Kev, I was going to foot stomp just for you but I was totally raging against that bar that I forgot.
lula, so what cap is acceptable? I have quite the MLB collection so maybe I’ll sport your team (unless it’s those f’n Yankees) next session. Squat what you pull. Increase Pull. Increase Squat. Rinse. Repeat. Can I get an amen?
Matty, yes, I have a whole closet full of Yankee gear I traded Jeter for Red Sox gear. He’s not as shy as me.

What are meadow rows. They sound nice relaxing just like lambs frolicking. I have a feeling they aren’t much like that at all.

They’re kinda like that. I did this version.
Don’t normally post my arm routine anymore. Actually worked up to a Decline CGBP of 205 x 10 more than half way through my session. Pretty impressed with myself. I had more in me but cut it off there.
Side Note: Nothing makes an aspiring BB’er feel smaller than when an IFBB Pro graces your gym. Thanks Mr. McGrath.
oooh! how cool!
what was he working on??
MiMsy, Legs…was training with a friend of mine.
Boredom landed me at the gym this afternoon.
Highlights were:
40 WG (barely assisted) Pull ups (4 sets)
UG BB Rows - 4 x 8 x 205lbs
Deads - 4 x 8 x 365
Legs tomorrow.

Amen brotha!
No the hat’s still garbage; but i still like ya, that’s all.
And delay that arnold’s comment for another week, oopsie poopsie.
K, I think Kai is a little bigger. But it definitely puts things in perspective.
lula, no poop jokes in the logs. Crap, I just made one, didn’t I? Shi… nevermind.
I am thinking of switching stuff up after next weekend. I’ve made some great progress strength/physique wise post diet but if I want to get on stage, I need to start thinking BB’ing. Have a few ideas and tried one of the leg sessions today. Problem is that this leg session calls for the workout be divided into AM and PM sessions. I decided to do it all at once.
Thus I am calling this session “Dumb and Dumber”
Hams:
Seated Leg Curls - 4 sets
Power Squat Good Mornings - 5 sets
Lying Leg Curls - 3 sets
Calves:
Seated Calf Raise - 9 sets **super-setted with Seated Leg Curls/Power GM’s
Quads:
Squats - 4 sets ( 8 x 275/3 x 8 x 295)
Extensions - 4 sets
Power Hack Squats - 4 sets
Leg Press - 7 sets
If you add that up, it’s 40 sets. No set was less than 8 reps. Most were in the 10-15 rep range.
Damn…that’s a lot of work for one session. How long did that take you?
james
James, took about 100mins.
I didn’t rest between the calves/hamstring movements. Just back and forth.
But squats and hack’s were brutally tough.
Monday - Chest/Abs
Abs to warm up - 9 sets
Incline DB Press
Incline DB Flyes
Dips
HS Incline
Chest - 17 sets
Chest is SWOLE hour
How did your legs feel after?

Thats some real pulling volume at 365, seriously impressive.
