I was bangin chest out last gym sesh….. Not sore this morning...… Chest n Lats where killin me...… Better chest than me??? …. He might have but that's coz I neglected my chest for ALL OVER GAINZ n then let the ALL OVER GAINZ faded away
@JANIKvonD That is a fair point. I’ll continue this slow diet until I’m happy then reconsider my options. I know I can get a lot stronger natural, but will you have a point with the end physique natty.
The crash from the pre workout combo was monumental yesterday will drop to .5 scoop of MVPre and 1 scoop infl8
PREE combo??? be careful bro.... Don't gan crazy like me n mix it all together..... and watch ur tolerance levels, when it loses its kick stop taking it for a week (I was on it everyday n sometimes 3 times a day) Good buzz tho…. I used to fall asleep, Proper crash out, id be asleep after its wore off good for recovery tho haha. I mixed afew prees together into a big tub n ragged my tolerance too high
Had a good upper session today highlight was flat Dumbells hit 47.5 x7/5/5 with much better control and form struggling a bit with diet and weekends (have to eat more vegetarian type foods at the weekend due to missus diet) back shaping up nicely. Pretty confident that I’ll look decent once the fat is gone
DL/Pull deadlift 60 x3/3 100 x3 130 x3 150 x3 170 x3 190 x3, need hips lower 80 x5- SLDL/slow eccentric 100 x5 120 x5 110 x5 pullups x7 X4 X4, struggling for grip chest support row 110 x4, just too heavy 100 x5 80 x8 rear delt 45 x10 45 x10 45 x10 incline curl 10 x8 10 x6 10 x5 preacher curl 20 x6 15 x7 cardio: 20 mins very steep walk NB: 8.5/10 today pulls were decent. best triple is 215 x3 so hopefully surpass that over the medium term forearms were so super pumped after deadlift that pullups were a bit compromised biceps are weak as never really trained them (even when training consistently) decided to switch routine pull Push (shoulder focus) Legs Push (chest focus) just wasn’t recovering quickly enough hitting everything twice over just more than a week
Slightly annoyed with the pulls as under pressure I revert to bad habits. It’s all good though as I’m aware of it, more submaximal work for a while also going to drop the stim pre completely for a while, comedowns are next level. Think it’s the Eria Jarensis/dmha Got strong in my teens/early 20s with no supplements whatsoever, so I think pre workouts have become a bit of a crutch
Push (shoulder focus) strict standing bb oh bar x5/5 40 x5 55 x5 67.5 x5 67.5 x5 67.5 x5 67.5 x3, pure strength work but needed 67.5 x3 incline Dumbell (45 degree) 20 x8 25 x5 30 x5 35 x6, must try harder 30 x10 pec Dec x10/8/6 warmups 82.5 x10 67.5 x10 seated lateral 5 x10 7.5 x10 7.5 x10 7.5 x10 Tri Ext (EZ) 20 x10 30 x8 30 x6 NB: 7/10. Must try harder. focus needs to be on getting sufficient sleep, I need 8-9 hrs. Barely scraping 6 right now, think it’s the stress of job hunting on the plus side, last time I tried 67.5 (few weeks back I got 5/4/3 so progression being made
Also waist is down 1’ over the last few weeks 2.5’ still to go to reach my goal. Hopefully can make so slow but definite improvements in weights lifted (given the fact I’ve been out the gym for so long prior to this)
Legs hack squat 40 x6 60 x6 80 x5 100 x8 110 x5 leg press (pivot style) 200 x10 220 x8 single hams 40 x6 30 x8 leg ext 55 x8 45 x10 donkey calves 100 x7/9 90 x10 cardio: 20 mins incline walking NB: 8/10 workout not all that far off my initial goal of 120 hack squat, calves were hit hard today too. all in all a good workout
Been making progress quietly Took some advice and upped calories a little. Dropping the 5x5, 3x5 etc and working on a lower volume approach with much effort Aims now are to get ruthlessly consistent on all fronts. Finally got my diet sorted out so hoping to see good progress now
I have made some changes recently, still far from perfect though. got some lift aims for the remainder of the year, going to continue to try to lean up too. here’s progress from beginning of Sept-Now, about 12 weeks. Bodyweight roughly the same Different lighting in pics tho
