*RI around 120 secs or less. These things are every bit of atg! Very tough.

*Also felt like I was going to puke at this point!

As I was reading your Squats, I wondered at which point you puked, then I read your note on puking.

Well done.

Looking very strong on those squats D keep up the hard work.

Burner02 · 12-19-2006, 03:27 PM

lloks like he hasn't been able to waddle over to the computer today...gotta love them doms!

Malley · 12-19-2006, 03:41 PM

Burner Waddling is for fat people, I am simply whinning today....

DOMS Definitly felt very puky, even about an hour afterwards. But whenever the wife mentioned pizza, I am pretty sure it went away.

Brutus Thanks, I need to max out on them sometime, I am pretty sure I will be a bit over 400.

BMU Thank you very much.

Burner02 · 12-19-2006, 03:51 PM

ok...waddling wasnt the right term...what is that shuffling look that BB'ers and old, decrepid men use to walk?

oh...don't forget the required...grunting, groaning that goes along whenever you stand up from sitting for a while, legs tightening up????

hate working 12 hour shifts...in an air conditioned room...sitting in front of a pc.....Frankenstein had NOTHING on me....

Malley · 12-19-2006, 04:18 PM

Sounds like my shitty job!!! Wow is it so so boring!

what do you guys do for a living?

Malley · 12-19-2006, 04:29 PM

I work with computers cooking hydrogenated oils.

AKIRA · 12-19-2006, 04:32 PM

Nice squats. I wonder if Ill ever get to do them again. I was up just over 225lbs I think when doing ATG.

Malley · 12-21-2006, 01:53 PM

Well my workout last night was aweful, so here it is.

ME Bench
bench
135x10 (2 sets)
185x5
225x3
250x1
275x1
315xfailure!!!

*I was so mad, I got it up to the top and couldnt lock out.

DB Bench
75x10
75x10
75x10
75x10

*This is a super light weight, but its about all I could throw up there. This has me puzzled, of course this is the first time I have did these in about 4 years. And 4 years ago I DB pressed 125 for 10 reps.

Cable rows
210x10
210x10
210x9
210x9

Pulldowns
180x10 (4 sets, pretty easy)

Preacher curls
40x10 (3 sets)

Pushdowns
125x8 (for 2 sets)

Dips
bwx15

Workout time-an hour and about a half. Had alot of trouble getting going.

Ok heres the deal. I am not taking in enough cals or something because my dmn strength just got zapped and I have decided to take some more time until I start a cut because I was very dissapointed and I am not going to feel like this again. Guys any ideas?

Malley · 12-21-2006, 01:53 PM

Oh and tried shoulder presses, bu my right shoulder has been giving me problems so I couldnt do it due to pain.

Triple Threat · 12-21-2006, 02:10 PM

Any chance the shoulder problems are causing the lower bench numbers?

fufu · 12-21-2006, 02:26 PM

How many cals are you taking in?

Brutus_G · 12-21-2006, 04:49 PM

Hey D you gotta cut semi slowly 1-2 pounds per week. High carb diets make you hungry low carbs make you think "oh man Shit i gotta eat again damn"

Malley · 12-22-2006, 08:29 AM

Trips I dont think so. I think it mostly has to do with the amount of calories I am taking in. Like I have said I think I will hold off of the cut until I can get something more set in stone together. I have decided that I cannot just wing it this time. The last time I cut my bench number went down as well, probably by like 50lbs or so. I bet my bench last time went from about 310-260. Now that is a hell of a drop. I definitly dont want to do that again. As long as my max can stay around 300 and drop below that I will be happy.

Fufu I would say I am taking in around 2500-2700 calories each and every day. I think I had better bring that up to about 3000.

Brutus Yes I know this. It is so easy to cut alot of calories and think everything is ok until I get down on the bench and the weight doesnt go up, now thats some depressing shit.

Well my wife and 2 daughters are making christmas cookies so I gotta go help...haha.

You're in charge of quality control, right? That's also known as the taster.

Malley · 12-22-2006, 10:28 AM

Yep, thats me! I think I had 2. Not to bad,

fufu · 12-22-2006, 11:40 AM

lol, I'm thinking of not cutting down and just going straigh to westside. My super will be super cleaned up regardless.

Malley · 12-22-2006, 12:15 PM

I think westside would benefit you a great deal. I am going to go off of it for a few months. I think my body has kind of adapted to it, so I think it is time for a change.

Tom_B · 12-22-2006, 08:13 PM

mmm Christmas sugar cookie!!

Agreed, you're just doing something wrong with your cutting. Whether it be too little calories, or a wrong mix of macronutrients for you. While cutting you should still be able to see some strength gains, or at the very least able to maintain what you already got..

As annoying and as tedious as it sounds this is what I suggest -
Take two weeks of eating at maintenance, and record everything, whether it be a can of tuna or a slice of pizza.
At the end of the two weeks calculate your total average for calories, fats, carbs and protein - this way you have some set numbers and your not guessing everything.
Take the numbers and then make the changes accordingly to allow you to lose a pound or so a week.

I really think you have the 'EXTREME' mentality .. I mean once you started bulking you were eating TONS 5000-6000 calories a day! And the results spoke for themselves, you put on too much, too soon.
Then you decide to cut, and you drop calories DRASTICALLY (nearly half of what you were taking in before!) and before you know it your losing weight like mad .. as well as strength. You need to find a middle ground and not take things to the extremes..

ps sorry to see you had a shitty workout!

-> But think about it, it's just ONE MEASLY workout in the grand scheme of things, get your diet together, get the calories and macros sorted out and I guarantee you it's VERY possible for you to start cutting away that fat and STILL see those numbers increase! You can do this, your a fucking tank!! hahahaha
