It’s the eggs, I’m telling you. If only I could afford to weigh 240-260ish right now, it would be game fucking on! Damn I’m jealous of y’all. [/quote]
Ass…I outweigh you by like 20-25lbs and you make my dead number look like something the blond streaked hoochie next to me would pull. Man I dont know how you can stomach drinking them.
Its my understanding that most of the people in the bodybuilding section are pursuing just that. Although we are all different the tendency of some to overthink the basic and universal equation is amusing to me. Questioning training to failure over and over, imbecilic supplement protocols (excluding those from T-Muscle), over analyzed nutritional protocols, etc, blah blah blah fool me once…shame on me and Mary had a little lamb.
Train fucking hard, eat like youre a pro, and educate yourself about what works for YOUR BODY. People dont want to put in the work in the gym, in the kitchen, studying the log book, and researching the many informational articles and threads here on T-Muscle.
Fuck, I dropped the ball for a couple weeks. I got soft and generally looked like a piece of shit with big arms. I didn’t look for an easy fucking way out. I bought me a fucking notebook and started writing something new to follow based on what I knew was working FOR ME. Through violence comes change and I did just that.
The Sesame Street message to take home from this shit for those following the BOI or newbs is to not look for an easy way out to your goals. Follow the paths of those miles ahead of you. Senor X, C_C, and the rest. Ask educated questions but most importantly…dont forget this is your own path. Things those wise juggernauts did in their past will not work for you or me. The basic and universal factors will though. Find your own winning formula. There’s no fucking free lunch here

shoulders sucked again this week (yesterday), I am really pissed off about it
basically
db shoulder press was no better than the other week
seated shouder press was weak as fuck for some reason
shrugs actually were better, but not by much (maybe 4 or 5 reps)
did seated raise variations (except rear delts)
back today, also completely crap… I guess lats were OK but there was no improvement in the CGSPs so I’m not happy at all.
rack pulls were crap, 210kg x 4
chest supported t-bar rows, plate loaded iso-lateral lat pulldown (wow, what a mouthful), droop rows, cg supinated pulldowns[/quote]
Food is pretty anabolic, yknow?
And cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Did rack chins for the 2nd time today, hit bw+85x12 reps, 45 lb improvement and same reps as 2 days ago. Oh how I LOVE the first few times doing a new exercise.
Db Incline

Superset flies and pushdowns. Moderate weight for da pumpz.
I feel like a douchebag for not doing legs… My leg has been bothering me, and I am only getting like 4 hours of sleep a night. I’m really worried about fatigue this year. Last year I burnt out by mid March and I can’t have that again.
You guys are right with the food thing. Until I get a job there is little I can do about it… although the last few days has been particularly bad as I didn’t order new protein in time so I’ve been trying to ration out my current supplies, should be here tomorrow though!
On a side note, I bought some Pea Protein because it’s cheap as fuck (but not that cheap), about 2/3rds the price of my regular stuff, so I figured what the hell. I’m not really sure it really matters if I take that instead of whey.
Actually the food thing is a really tricky issue for me right now, ideally I need to recomp or diet down some of the fat I’ve gained to get it back under control, but I can’t afford the food I need to do that. I’ve gained about half an inch on my arms the last month or so without changing bodyweight which is ok I suppose, but until I’m in a position where I can afford to eat enough protein and quality carb sources I am probably going to be spinning my wheels
@h4m: looking good man, though I am kind of disappointed… your back pics are like “BAM!” where as the front is sort of “pretty solid”
God…killed back tonight. 565 on deads, 8 plates on the t-bar row, 180lb krocs, and 185 bb curls. 1 rep, 4 reps, 12 reps, and 5 reps. I’m going to eat my pwo meal and go to sleep. it feels like someone drove my truck over my back lol
incline bench - 87.5 x 6 (maybe only 5)
db flat - 40 x 10
incline pl chest press - some x a bunch
flyes - 35 x 5
reverse EZ curls - 40 x 10/12/15 (dunno!)
hammer curls - 30 x a handful
oh yeah! so I got that Pea Protein today, it’s fucking DISGUSTING. Seriously it’s so vile, I can’t drink it at all… I dunno what I’m going to do. I thought unflavoured meant no flavour. Not some horrible-undrinkable-pea-puree-type-flavour. Do not buy weird protein guys.
Dude, un-flavored means no added flavor… But obviously the protein will still taste like something… Whey iso etc is easy to get down, but hydrolyzed stuff, pea protein etc are all terrible.
What the hell did you expect un-flavored pea protein to taste like, anyway? Like oranges?
If it’s mixed 20-30% with other stuff, it’s ok… Or with some basic flavoring. I don’t use it anymore though.
Just use some Crystal Light or whatever equivalent you get in your country. No big deal.
hahaha oh man…yeah, i just bought some pea and rice protein powder. They are horrible. I can only use them in my morning shakes. Definitely can’t use them PWO. I gave up and just ordered a nice 14lb of protein powder from the fine Biotest company. Tomorrow can’t come soon enough.
on a side note, i think i finally settled back into a “split” i can deal with for the rest of the year.
Today, i had to stop early, real early.
trapbar deadlift:
barx10 x8
135x6
185x6
225x3
275x3
315x3
365x2
405x3 x2
315x22 (on rep 18 i got this insane tension headache. The last 4 reps only made it worse…but i believe this was a PR) I think i could have hit 30 reps if not for my head.

Thanks for the heads up, but that’s a shame. All the egg white/rice/pea/etc proteins are much cheaper. I really should go and learn what the difference is between hydrolyzed/isolate/etc. I got some whey isolate too, just had that (unflavoured) and it actually doesn’t taste of anything!

Rainbows and fairy cakes. I have a pretty weird thinking pattern. I didn’t want to buy flavoured pea protein because I thought that would taste weird (e.g. a weird chocolate/pea mix taste), but I expected unflavoured to taste of nothing, it makes no sense. Either way, I am glad I only bought a kilo.

Hmm… crystal light, never heard of it, but I’ve never looked for anything like that before. Since you live not too far away in Germany we could have it over here, I’ll have to have a look. Maybe regular milkshake could work?
Hit 485x7 on deadlifts today. According to Wendler’s one rep max formula that puts me at like a 598 max. I am deloading next week but think I might try for a 600 deadlift to join your club. Hopefully I will have the wife get a vid of it.

Hmm well personally I’ve never put much stock in 1R calculators, but wtf, the only way you’ll know if you can pull it is to try. LOL at deloading though. I’ve deadlifted at least 2x per week for the last 5-6 weeks haha.

Yeah, the deload is mainly needed for my elbow tendonitis killing me on bench and military press…also, my squat could use a down week. My deadlift is fine though so I thought it would be fun to see what I could put up. The bodyweight x3 deadlift is a goal I have had for awhile.
