Red face Confession

Alright, I guess you spoke a little soon about good meals, cause boy did I ever fuqq up today.

Slept in didn't prepare anymeals.

nibbled on some jube jubes, cause I had nothing else to eat, and then to top it all off ate a Detour Bar.

Fuq I am an idiot.

Well tomorrow is a new day.

Quick question about shake prep?I usually make my meals for the day in the morning, the only problem is if I want a shake at around 3ish, will the protein and flax remain stable, if not any remedies? would keeping it refridgerated help?

Excellent!

You can make 305, even 315 happen really easily through rep conservation. I have a post on it somewhere.

135/6-8, 225/6, 275/5, 305/?, 315/?

Is actually less effort than the total of the w8 X reps that you posted

Thanks DP, I read your post, makes sense. I assume I would only use the conservation on Fundemental exercises Like Squat, Bench, Deadlift.

Hey tigress glad to see you back again, time to get it back in gear, eh!

I was till last night!! I was starting to notice a little more definition in lower Quads. During workouts starting to notice more vascularity in arms. From my gut to my upper legs still needs alot of work, but getting there slowly.

Anyway, last night I stupidly had some whole grain flaxseed bread, that sparked a little carb crave, had two Chocolate chip cookies . I am telling you bread never again. I felt like shit last night. Gut felt fatter than ever, bloated. Very dissapointing night, but back on the horse this morning, no significant change, only a minute increase in bw from yesterday to today, but I had no workout last night!

Oh I know it is a powerful drug, trust me I know, I am an addict.

Just a question. I have been pretty happy with most of my workouts, feel like I am making progress with them. The only one I feel like I am lacking is Back, mind you Back is proably my least favorite part to get psyched up for!

Any suggestions!

Thanks

Make it your most favorite, even if you are lying to yourself.

As a cyclist/runner....I hated hills.....one day...I'm doing hill repeats with a top female moutain biker, but she was out of shape....so about the 4th hill...she's coughing, gagging, on the verge of heaving...and she smiles and says:


"Gotta Love these hills, they make you Stronger!"

From that day on, I attacked hills and became a better climber...same thing with my shoulders and BB...use to be my weakest part.....now one of my strongest

Point is......change your tude...ATTACK YOUR WEAKNESSES!

Good....music helps btw...

OK, Lack of blood flow usually means poor contractions...I see this commonly...esp with trainers and trainer/clients

Do this for me........drop your head forward and do say an isometric seated row......back bends forward, chin tucks, arms come back...no real contraction

Now, lift your head..arch your back, throw the chest out and forward and DO NOT MOVE from this position, perform the same row, elbows coming back near the sides (unless your lats are in the way)...and pull back hard enough to pinch your scapula together

World of difference RIGHT?

Here is the kicker....do this for me......every exercise.....do 10, 8, 6-8 failure, and then 18-25 reps (lighter, but as heavy as you can to get the reps (...Then let me know..K?
