Elbow felt a little tweeky and I was short on time so I did a bodyweight chest workout.

Pushups (sissy) / Incline PUs (sissy, on stairs) / Decline PUs (sissy, on stairs) / Close Grip Incline PUs (sissy, on stairs) / Dips (used bathtub lol).

Did it as a continuous circuit 3x w/ 30 sec rest between circuits. 10-15reps of all exercises. At 266lbs it was a bit of a workout, sissy and all lol

Got a HT back and quad workout in today on lunch ...

Conventional DL - 1x5 @ 135 / 1x5 @ 225 / 1x5 @ 315 / 1x3 @ 405 / 1x1 @ 455 ... nothing earth shattering here but my back and been feeling progressively better and i'm still feeling pretty decent in the DL aftermath so although there were no PRs or anything, i consider a clean, easy pull @ 455 to be a success and gives me hope that I can start pursuing 500 again after this HT round without much worry. :-)

The rest of the workout was minimal and was as follows ...

Barbell Shrugs - 5x10 @ 225 / 1x5 @ 315
Seated Rows (Machine) - 5x10 @ 180 / 1x5 @ 270 / 1x30 @ 90
Dumbell Rows - 3x10 @ 80lb DB / 1x25 @ 50lb DB
Leg Extensions - 5x10 @ 105

Tomorrow is cardio only ... let my body rest a bit before shoulders on thursday :-)

Everyone have a good tuesday!

Good work, Charlie. :-)

Good seeing you, Huy!

Chest Day today after 4 days off. Strength and energy both high, looks like the days off did me good.
[Reply]

Much needed 4 days off myself :-)

Back and chest tonight, strength was good and the pump was nice. Fueled by all the yummy food I ate over the weekend.

Back on the grind today, meals were on point. No cheat meals for a couple weeks.

Deadlift
Wide grip pull down
Single arm lat pull down - bent over rear flies
Seated row

Incline bb
Cable flies - cable press
Incline smith press (negatives)
Dips

Btw, I mentioned to Tom but after 4 days without training and no pwo. The pwo was much much more effective today. A scoop felt made me off the hook crazy
[Reply]

Got some original formula HemoRage from eBay, DMAA raging through my bloodstream.

Back day, B for strength, B- for energy.

Wide grip pulldowns 200, 230, 250, 270, 250, 240

I had forgotten all about hemorage!

Nice score, hope it didn't cost too much.
[Reply]

HemoRage? I'll have to look that up ... sounds intense!

As of last saturday I'd switched over to MTS Ruckus from MTS Clash (stacked with Vasky) and started taking EthiTech Creatine Monohydrate. I've definitely enjoyed the Ruckus/Vasky combo!

I'm really loving MTS products ... and it's pretty cool that they're local to me.


Today was a rest day (gotta take a rest day every 3 or 4 days with such high volume hypertrophy) so I only did some steady-state cardio. :-)

Tomorrow is shoulders and calves!
[Reply]

It was reasonable for 2 pounds, Huy, much much cheaper than the Jack3d I have seen recently.

Keep crushing it, Charlie!

Off day tomorrow because I have training at work all day. I am going to try to do a double Friday (legs, shoulders and arms), take my scheduled day off Saturday, and start my cycle again with my Sunday/Monday off from work.
[Reply]

I looked up some Jack3d on eBay for fun... Wtf! $100-150? That's insane.

Legs and shoulders today, kept exercise to a minimal but lots of sets and reps

Warm up - standing legs curls to seated leg extensions

Squats - 10 sets of whatever, didn't count.
DB lunges

Standing OHP (DB)
Bb front raise
DB side delt raise

Finished up with some quick biceps
Off tomorrow as well. Back at Friday.
[Reply]

Good stuff, fellas!

HT Shoulders today ...

Tom, I mentioned taking Amino Cuts by Allmax, been using it for a week now I dig it. It's a nice little pick me up in the afternoon. A scoop and half for about 175mg of caffeine and some good ratio of bcaa. Price is really good too. If you decide to try it, try the pina colada
[Reply]

I will likely give it a try, Huy, though I hate coconut, so Pina Colada is out. :-)
[Reply]

HT Arms today :-)

Will do squats and DLs tomorrow then off Sunday.

Everyone have a great holiday weekend!
[Reply]

:-) Charlie!

Legs, arms, shoulders today, hockey tonight, tomorrow off.
[Reply]

Chest and back in a few.

It taste like pineapples. I hardly taste the coconut. You ask Mark, that's a whole new world of flavors for you.
[Reply]

Mark likes mixing tequila and port, I'll try another flavor. :-)
[Reply]

I don't like coconut either, Tom. :-)

Squats, Conventional DLs & OHP today. Off tomorrow ... glad about it too; my back is definitely going to need the rest.
[Reply]

Tear it up, Charlie! :-)
[Reply]

Well I kinda did, Tom :-)

Did some back squatting and then went on to DLs. Pulled cleanly up to 455 and then tried for 475 and it actually came about halfway up really quickly but when i got it there i heard "pop pop" from my lower back and immediately dropped the weight.
Needless to say, my lower back is SUPER stiff today. I've tweeked my back before but this was the first time i'd heard popping like that. I've been icing it and i'll keep doing that and just take a couple weeks off of squatting and DL'ing. :/

Hopefully everyone else was safer than me this weekend.
