I will definitely get you a video soon! I could use some help. I’ll take a couple with different weights and angles.
Right now I’m grilling up a post crappy workout steak

Active recovery day
Push mowed my hilly yard with a really heavy mower. Did a little sprinting with it. Calves and glutes aren’t happy, glutes from the squats and calves from the yard
Really wish tomorrow would hurry and get here so I can get back in the gym!!
Legs and glutes are sore as balls! Back hurt all day, slept funny last night. Today’s workout should fix it

So apparently 165 ain’t gonna cut it either. The last rep or 2 of the last 2 sets took some major effort, wasn’t sure I was going to get them. I think 175 is going to be perfect and give me something to chew on for a little bit
Seal dumbbell rows
75’s x 10
75’s x 8
75’s x 8
These kinda hurt. I really need to buy a dedicated seal row bench. How I rig up my bench makes it really wide and I think it’s messing with my shoulders.
Lat pull downs wide grip
2 heavy sets of 15
2 heavy sets to failure
Cable low row narrow grip
4 sets of 10
Straight arm rope pull downs
3 sets of a lot
Dumbbell curls
Cable ezcurl’s

Pretty solid back day, enjoyed it but was hoping I’d struggle a lot more on the BOR’s.
Good workout today. Wasn’t really feeling it but turned out alright.

Cable Face pulls with rope:
4 sets to failure ramping up weight
Lateral Raises:
3 sets of full ROM lat raises using 10’s - 15’s - 20’s
3 working sets of partial raises with 30’s
Y raise things:
3 sets of 12 with 10’s. Crazy burn
Band crossbody lat raises:
3 sets of 10
Tricep push downs with rope:
4 sets to failure ramping up in weight
Tricep pushdowns straight bar wide grip:
4 sets to just about failure ramping up in weight.
Not even going to log my leg day 
. Weights were lifted and muscles are sore but it was pathetic 
It’s not about the weight, it’s about the progress, right? Still stronger than you were a year ago correct?

Most definitely considering a year ago I didn’t work out lol. But you are right. This is a big picture thing, need to remember that especially on the bad days!

Had a come to Jesus meeting with myself today. Although I wasn’t following GVT to a T, I was doing 10x10 with the stupid short rests briefly. My shoulders and wrists have really taken a beating in that short time. Partly because I was probably training too often, and partly because of my job and prior injuries. I work a physically demanding job that already has a high rate of producing bad shoulders, my wrists are fragile already from braking both of them badly and the hardware I got doesn’t help lol.
In just a few sessions my shoulders, specifically left, and both wrists turned into nagging body parts. I really enjoy the style and think I have been leaving some gains on the table with my usual level of intensity, so although a failure, I learnt.
I’m gonna go back to how I was working out and try and up the intensity. Atleast until the next shiny thing on here catches my eye.
The plan is to continue to eat at a moderate level and clean up some of the shortfalls of my current diet. I’ll stay here as long as the weight is progressing.
Back and bi day was fairly short lived, I cut my hand in an awkward spot Tuesday and my new scab didn’t really want me constantly trying to rip it off so it was a shorter than usual session.

Today is the last time I’ll workout before Monday. On one hand I’m looking forward to the rest, on the other I’ll miss it and hate I didn’t end today with a big day. I’ll be competing in a team spartan race with my sisters Sunday in Atlanta.

Hey man, little late to the party, but as far as legs go, after a month or so on Nutty’s program I feel like my hamstrings have grown a little bit (not much, but noticeable change for just 5 weeks or so), and I’m doing a lot of RDL’s and back extensions. Knees and back feel fine and my hamstrings are better - give it a shot!

Thanks man! I really need to stop skipping out on a real leg day. I just want to squat and do nothing else but I can’t squat . That thread has given me a lot of new ideas for leg day
